知情的自决原则一直被视为防止非自愿土地转让和由此造成的受影响社区在发展中国家农业投资中被剥夺土地的一种手段。基于在印度尼西亚东加里曼丹进行的定性实地研究，本文认为，这种乐观的认识需要重新审视。本文以2007年以来面临大规模油棕榈庄园发展的土著Dayak社区为案例研究，探讨了社区决定将土地释放给庄园的原因。政府的忽视造成的不发达状况和缺乏未来自主发展的前景，都是促使社区决定释放土地的原因。十年后，棕榈油的侵蚀造成了土地短缺和森林资源枯竭。这项研究强调，需要有意义的国家干预措施，以减轻贫困，并创造条件，使当地社区能够在土地释放协商期间作出有意义的选择。
The principle of informed self-determination has been celebrated as a means to prevent involuntary land transfer and the resulting dispossession of affected communities in agricultural investments of developing countries. Based on qualitative field research conducted in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, this paper argues that such optimistic recognition needs reexamination. Drawing on a case study of indigenous Dayak communities that have faced advancement of large-scale oil palm estates since 2007, the paper examines what informs communities’ decisions to release land to estates. The underdevelopment created by government neglect and the lack of future prospects for autonomous development are shown to have contributed to communities’ decisions to release land. After a decade, encroaching palm oil has produced land shortages and depleted forest resources. This study highlights the need for meaningful state interventions to alleviate poverty and create conditions that allows local communities to make meaningful choices during the consultations over land release.
