Abstrack:
Ngindung and Magersari are very common terms for the people of Jogjakarta. The former is dedicated and related to the land owned by people in general, while the latter is designated and associated with the land owned by the Sultan of Jogjakarta. There is a historical relationship between the latter and the former. Agrarian Act (Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria) of 1960 as a representation of the state laws have been enacted in the Yogyakarta Province entirely since 1984, however, the influence of historical background on the status of magersari and ngindung still maintains in harmony up to the present. The development and the rapid rate of population growth affect the existence and the commercial value of land. Indeed, the social value of land tends to be changed into commercial values which inspires the relationship among the members of the society, especially in terms of land tenure. Nature of the relationship between them initially is based on kinship and mutual relationship. The relationship is recognised as batih relationship or family relationship, nonetheless, the relationship has changed into self-interest relationship. Hence, the meaning of ngindung and magersari has already changed into commercial function, and not a social one anymore.
