ABSTRACT
The aim of this research is to determine the urgency regarding the formation and management of an Adat Village after Act No. 6 of 2014 on Villages came into effect. This research is categorized as normative legal research with applied and prescriptive analysis, with the purpose of normatively analyzing the urgency of formation and management of Adat Villages after Act No. 6 of 2014 on Villages took effect. The analysis was conducted through the study of the formation of regulations made by the Regent of Mojokerto, specifically No. 47 of 2017 on the Establishment of Adat Village Preparations in Pacet Sub-District, Regency of Mojokerto, East Java. The research results indicate that synchronization with the provisions of Article 97 of Act No. 6 of 2014 on Villages, and Articles 19, 20, 21 and 22 of the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 1 of 2017 on Village Arrangements is required. There has not been any prior study conducted before the formation of the Regency regulation. It is advisable that study be conducted on the Adat Villages immediately. When the results of the study and verification done by the team suggest that the preparation of the Village does not merit it being a Village, the preparation needs to be discontinued, with the result that the area of the proposed Adat Village be brought back into the main Village.
