Ownership of Natural Resources .

Ownership of Natural Resources

In December 1968, an article titled "The Tragedy of Commons" by Garrett Hardin give new thought to the concept of natural resource management.
The article is delivered in this material.
The article presented a tragedy or a deterioration of quality and meaning of resources in the public domain, such as spaces along roads, rivers, lakes, green line, sea shore, meadow, and so on. No one alone have it (publicly owned) who is in need will take it without being responsible for managing, organize or arrange properly. Damage to natural resources due to lack of ownership, so that almost all people become 'free passengers' sense of belonging and who may use these resources. As a result, everyone benjadi cause damage to the resource.
Natural resources are available for common needs. Damage has implications for all human nature and other creatures. The article said that personal benefit can be harmful to others. Then who ensure that existing resources can benefit all? In the end we need a concept of "ownership" that is able to assign responsibility for the sustainability of the natural resources. Further questions, who should be responsible? Private or state? In any benefits that we get from the natural resources, there is a "price" we pay. But what about that can not afford? Who is subsidizing? These questions spawned the need for rules on access to natural resources, what can be done on these resources, as well as who should be involved?
As a basis for building a system of natural resource management, the natural resource is categorized into three state-owned property (state property), communal (communal property) and personal property (private property) (Usman, 2004:14). In the concept of state ownership, all natural resources are controlled by the government and regulated through rules and regulations issued based on authority owned. Communal property, natural resources are controlled by a particular ethnic group on the basis of
customary law prevailing in the society. In the category of private property, natural resources controlled by individuals or corporations. Reference formal control of natural resources in Indonesia, based on Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution despite the constitutional reference is inviting various interpretations and understandings. Implicit message of the Constitution is that.
