Customary norm interactions with state law will be an important issue in the discussion of this paper.

In contrast, the bottom-up model in natural resource management has yielded optimum results, as people have responsibility for natural resource management. The problem studied is how to revitalize customary norms in line with state law in the management of natural resources in Indonesia. This paper will rely on harmonization of law between customary norms and state law, namely by doing dialectics-interaction between the two laws. Problems will be analyzed using legal research. The results of this study internally will contribute to the Indonesian government's thoughts on the legal arrangement of natural resource management in Indonesia. Externally this paper is expected to contribute thoughts to other countries in the formulation of legal policy based on the interests of the people.
