Land acquisition for public purposes is intended to ensure land availability for development while safeguarding the rights of affected parties through fair and equitable compensation as regulated under Law Number 2 of 2012 and its implementing regulations. However, disputes over land ownership often prevent direct payment of compensation, thereby necessitating the use of a consignment mechanism through the court. This study examines the implementation of consignment for disputed land and analyzes the legal standing and fulfillment of rights of both the prevailing and losing parties in the land acquisition process for the development and revitalization of Balohan Port, Sabang. The research addresses the problem of how compensation is secured and distributed when ownership remains contested, and whether the mechanism ensures legal certainty and justice for all parties involved. Employing an empirical legal method with a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews and document analysis. The findings reveal that consignment functions as a legal instrument to safeguard and temporarily suspend compensation payment until a final judicial determination is reached. Supreme Court Decision Number 1675 K/Pdt/2021 affirms that the prevailing party is entitled to full land compensation as recognition of proprietary rights, while building compensation may be relinquished through a peace agreement and social compensation partially allocated. Conversely, the losing party forfeits land rights but retains full building compensation and partial social compensation based on the settlement deed. The study concludes that dispute resolution in land acquisition extends beyond final court judgments and requires non-litigation mechanisms to ensure proportional distribution of rights, thereby reinforcing legal certainty, preventing further disputes, and ensuring equitable protection in public interest development.

The Right to Build Certificate (Hak Guna Bangunan/HGB), as evidence of land rights intended to provide legal certainty for right holders, may in practice be revoked through decisions of the State Administrative Court. Such revocation creates legal uncertainty regarding the legal status of the land and the position of the right holder, particularly where the certificate holder is not a party to the proceedings. This research aims to analyze the legal status of land following the revocation of an HGB certificate and to examine the legal remedies available to right holders in order to obtain legal certainty. The research employs a normative juridical approach through a literature review of statutory regulations and court decisions. The findings indicate that following the revocation of HGB Certificate Number B 222 in the name of PT Pertamina (Persero), the land reverts to state land, with Pertamina holding priority rights pursuant to Article 37 paragraph (4) of Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021. However, legal remedies through the priority rights mechanism do not provide absolute legal certainty, as the use of the term “may” reflects governmental discretion rather than a legal obligation. Consequently, legal certainty for PT Pertamina remains conditional and dependent upon administrative discretion, rather than constituting final legal certainty.

This abstract summarizes the innovation in land administration services through the implementation of Electronic Land Rights Certificates (e-Certificates) by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN). The policy responds to persistent challenges in conventional land certificate services, including lengthy bureaucratic procedures, limited transparency, and risks of document duplication and forgery. The study focuses on the implementation of e-Certificate services at the Surabaya City Land Office II, aiming to analyze the effectiveness of the innovation, supporting and inhibiting factors, and its impact on public service quality. A descriptive qualitative approach is employed, utilizing Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation theory (1971) with five key indicators: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. Data collection methods include document analysis, in-depth interviews, and field observation. Findings indicate that the e-Certificate provides significant benefits, such as time efficiency, enhanced data security, and improved transparency. The innovation also aligns with national priorities for digital transformation and bureaucratic reform. However, notable complexity persists due to limited digital literacy among the public and adaptation challenges faced by employees. Limited-scope pilot implementation supports iterative system improvements, while observable outcomes include accelerated services and increased public trust. Key enabling factors consist of strong national policy support, advanced digital infrastructure in Surabaya, and organizational commitment. Conversely, constraints include limited human resources, resistance to organizational change, and data security concerns. Overall, the e-Certificate innovation at the Surabaya City Land Office II has generated new public value through faster, more efficient, and accountable services, establishing a model for advancing digital transformation in land administration across Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the legal consequences of land rights transfer in disputed objects using a normative legal research method. Issues related to the transfer of land rights often give rise to legal disputes between interested parties, particularly when the transfer process does not comply with the prevailing agrarian laws and regulations. This research employs both the statutory approach and the conceptual approach to examine relevant legal provisions in depth, such as Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Agrarian Principles (UUPA) and Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. The data were obtained from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials and analyzed qualitatively, emphasizing legal interpretation and expert doctrines. The findings reveal that any transfer of land rights carried out without proper legal procedures, both administratively and substantively, may result in legal consequences such as null and void transactions, ownership disputes, and even the annulment of land certificates by the court. Furthermore, it was found that the principles of legal certainty and legal protection for landowners are often neglected due to weak law enforcement and administrative irregularities in land affairs. This study emphasizes the importance of applying the principles of legality and prudence in every land rights transfer process to ensure legal certainty and justice for all parties involved in disputes.

For individuals and legal entities, land registration serves as the sole method to protect land ownership and ensure legal certainty. The foundation of land rights is based on Law No. 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Agrarian Principles, which recognizes several types of land rights, including Ownership Rights (Hak Milik), Building Use Rights (Hak Guna Bangunan), Cultivation Rights (Hak Guna Usaha), and Use Rights (Hak Pakai). The primary objective of this Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat or Abdimas) is to educate the public and clarify misinformation circulating on social media. The educational initiative focuses on Government Regulation No. 18 of 2021, which ensures that long-standing land rights can still be registered through the “Recognition of Rights” mechanism. This discussion activity was initiated by the Faculty of Law, Universitas Pancasakti Tegal, which felt compelled to engage with the community in addressing issues related to land ownership and registration. Through this initiative, is hoped that public awareness and understanding of land law can be significantly improved.

Base-G Beach is a tourist attraction located in North Jayapura District, Jayapura City, managed by the local community who hold customary land rights. This study aims to assess the economic impact of Base-G Beach using the multiplier effect analysis and to evaluate service quality based on the perceptions of visitors, business actors, and workers using a Likert scale. The assessment of six service aspects revealed that most were rated as very good, except for the availability of toilets and electricity, which still require attention. Regarding the economic impact, the Keynesian Income Multiplier calculation yielded a value of 0.27, indicating that the economic impact of this tourist attraction is still suboptimal. This value is below 1, meaning the tourism sector at Base-G Beach has not yet had a significant influence on the local economy. However, the Income Multiplier Ratios for Type I and Type II were 1.09 and 1.11, respectively, indicating a positive economic connection (≥1) between the tourism sector and the local economy. This suggests that there is potential for greater economic impact if the tourism sector is further developed. Nevertheless, the low Keynesian multiplier value indicates the need to strengthen the link between the tourism sector and the local economy. Therefore, it is recommended that the development of Base-G Beach tourism focus on improving infrastructure, particularly the provision of essential facilities such as toilets and electricity. Additionally, efforts should be made to expand the local economic network directly connected to the tourism sector. Improving service quality and developing infrastructure will help increase the economic impact of the tourist attraction, open new business opportunities, and provide greater benefits to the welfare of the surrounding community of Base-G Beach.

This study aims to identify and analyze the ratio legis of the principle that the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program needs to be regulated and adhered to. Furthermore, this research also seeks to examine the legal consequences of the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program. The awareness of the special position of land in the Indonesian national consciousness is also revealed in the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA), which states the eternal relationship between the Indonesian people and the land. However, the term “controlled” in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution does not imply that the state is the owner. The general explanation of the 1960 UUPA clarifies that the state (government) only controls the land. The meaning of land being “controlled” does not equate to “owned” but rather refers to certain authorities granted to the state as a power organization. Ownership of land rights must be proven by authentic or valid evidence in the form of a land rights certificate, where such certified ownership is an absolute requirement. Therefore, the Indonesian Government, through the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency Number 6 of 2018 concerning Complete Systematic Land Registration, aims to facilitate the implementation of systematic and complete land registration as a government program. From this explanation, it can be concluded that the ratio legis of the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program principle requires regulation and adherence to provide guarantees of legal certainty, transparency of information related to land parcels that can be utilized by legitimate parties, and ensure orderly administration in the field of land affairs, thereby delivering benefits and justice.

Measurement is a crucial initial step in the land registration process, as stipulated in Article 19 paragraph (2) letter a of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA). Article 17 of Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 on Land Registration emphasizes that measurements must be supported by physical data and boundary arrangements based on the agreement of adjacent landowners. One key principle in this process is the contradictoire delimitatie principle, which requires the presence of interested parties during the determination of land boundaries. This thesis aims to analyze the function of contradictoire delimitatie in the measurement results of the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL), as well as to examine the legal consequences if this principle is not implemented. The study is expected to contribute to the development of legal knowledge in the field of land affairs and serve as a reference for academics, legal practitioners, judicial institutions, law enforcement officials, and land authorities. In practice, if the subject of a land parcel is unknown, information is obtained from neighboring landowners, community leaders, or relevant officials, and recorded in the Measurement Sketch (Gambar Ukur or GU). If boundary agreements have not been reached, dotted lines are used to indicate temporary boundaries. When the Work Map is attached to the GU, the landowner or their representative may sign it as a form of boundary agreement. The absence of the contradictoire delimitatie principle hinders the measurement process, map creation, land registration, and issuance of land rights certificates. Furthermore, unclear or poorly maintained boundaries often lead to overlapping claims and disputes in the field.

This research examines the legal protection available to communities affected by land acquisition for public interest development in Indonesia. Although governed primarily by Law No. 2 of 2012 and updated through Law No. 6 of 2023, many legal ambiguities remain, especially regarding the fairness of compensation and the recognition of informal or uncertified land rights. The objective of this study is to critically evaluate the adequacy of these legal frameworks and identify gaps that undermine justice for affected populations. Employing a normative-juridical method, the research conducts doctrinal analysis, comparative law review (with cases from Malaysia and India), and stakeholder consultation to assess both the text and implementation of relevant laws. The study finds that key legal concepts such as “fair and appropriate compensation” remain undefined in statute, leading to inconsistent application across regions. Furthermore, compensation mechanisms such as share ownership and resettlement are inadequately regulated and poorly implemented. The findings emphasize the disparity between normative intent and administrative reality, particularly for holders of uncertified land. By integrating stakeholder feedback with normative evaluation, the research proposes actionable reforms to strengthen legal protection and uphold constitutional guarantees under Article 28H. In conclusion, while Indonesia has made progress in establishing a framework for public interest land acquisition, significant doctrinal and institutional reforms are required to ensure equitable outcomes for all landholders.

Land Ownership in Indonesia, is regulated in Article 5 of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) No. 5 of 1960. UUPA regulates various types of land rights in Indonesia, such as ownership rights, lease rights, use rights, and business use rights. This regulation aims to distribute natural resources, ensure legal certainty over land, and protect the rights of communities affected by land use policies. Meanwhile, Malaysia has a land ownership legal system influenced by British law due to its colonial period. In this context, land law in Malaysia is regulated by various laws, including the National Land Code (NLC) 1965, which regulates land rights, land registration, and land-related rights. In Malaysia, land is divided into several categories of rights, such as freehold and leasehold. The land registration system in Malaysia is more centralized, and land regulations are also implemented through state institutions. Unlike Indonesia, which prioritizes customary rights in land management, Malaysia tends to prioritize national land regulation and administration through a more modern and structured system.

The resolution of land disputes through the judicial process is a step taken when non-litigation settlement efforts fail. This process involves a series of legal procedures aimed at enforcing land rights, including proof of ownership and other related rights. This article aims to analyze the procedures, challenges, and effectiveness of land dispute resolution in court. Using a normative-empirical approach, this study finds that although the judicial system provides a clear mechanism, there are several obstacles, such as lengthy legal processes, high costs, and the complexity of proving ownership, which can delay dispute resolution. In this regard, it is important for the parties involved to understand the applicable legal procedures and utilize alternative dispute resolution methods that can expedite land dispute resolution, such as mediation and arbitration. This study also recommends improvements in the judicial system and more efficient approaches to handling land disputes in the future.

One of the development efforts within the national development framework, the government/government agencies/institutions at every level carry out development authority for the Public Interest. Based on the concept of the State's Right to Control, the Government, on behalf of the Land State, has the absolute right to regulate, determine and determine land rights for the sake of realizing the welfare of the people. On the other hand, the government has an interest in acquiring land for the public interest. In this research, a juridical study was carried out on what is the state's right to control land in land acquisition for public purposes? And what is the government's authority to acquire land for public purposes? The aim of this research is to determine the state's right to control land for the public interest and to find out what the government's authority is in acquiring land for the public interest. The method used in this research is the Normative Juridical method, namely comprehensively reviewing the legal aspects of statutory provisions related to the settlement of compensation for land acquisition for the public interest. In this research, it was found that the State is only limited to regulating, determining and determining the allocation of land rights, and in procuring land for the public interest, the government or agencies using land as development objects are obliged to provide compensation in accordance with the value determined by the assessment team.

Land issues in Indonesia show complex dynamics due to legal vacuum and legal loopholes in the applicable land law system. This condition is exacerbated by the weakness of implementing regulations of the UUPA which are unable to respond to developments in the era, thus opening up space for land mafia practices and overlapping development policies. This legal vacuum impacts violations of community rights to land, environmental degradation, and the failure to realize optimal legal protection. The study uses a normative legal approach based on secondary data from literature studies to analyze the urgent need for land law reform. The findings reveal the need for the land law system renewal to create stronger protection of community rights and ensure a sustainable development direction by environmental conditions.

Problems arise when the seller and buyer have died while the land that is the object of the sale and purchase is controlled by a third party. The formulation of the problem is as follows: 1) How is the validity of a land sale and purchase statement above the seal in the transfer of land rights? 2) What are the legal considerations of the panel of judges in the Pati District Court Decision Case Number 7 /Pdt.G/2023/PN. Pti.? 3) What are the legal consequences for the parties to the Pati District Court Decision Case Number 7/Pdt.G/2023/PN. Pti ? This study used a normative legal research approach. The data analysis used was a qualitative approach to secondary data as the main and primary data as supporting data. The results of the study show that the validity of the land sale and purchase statement letter above the seal in the transfer of land rights can be seen from the fulfillment of two requirements; general and special requirements. The legal consideration of the panel of judges in the Pati District Court Decision Case Number 7/Pdt.G/2023/PN.Pti. is that the Defendant's actions in controlling a plot of land recorded in the Village Book C Number 870, Plot Number 24 Class D1 covering an area of 270 M2 located in RT 002 RW 005 Tunjungrejo Village, Margoyoso Sub-District, Pati Regency are against the law. The legal consequences for the parties to the Pati District Court Decision Case Number 7/Pdt.G/2023/PN.Pti is that the Plaintiff has the right to control a plot of land as recorded in the Village Record Number 870, Plot Number 24 Class DI Area 270 M2, located in Rt 002 Rw 005 Tunjungrejo Village, Margoyoso Sub-District, Pati Regency, and the Defendant and the third party were ordered to vacate the land belonging to Ah Djumadi or his heirs which was the object of the dispute.

Land as the wealth of the Indonesian nation must be utilized for the greatest prosperity of the people. To achieve this utilization, land consolidation needs to be carried out as an effort to increase the utility and results of land use and to align individual interests with the social function of land in the context of implementing development. Land is the basic capital for development and supports the running of the economy, there is almost no development activity that does not require land. Land plays a very important role, even determining the success or failure of a development. The nature of this research is descriptive, the results of this research are expected to obtain a factual picture or description of the land consolidation policy towards the re-arrangement of land ownership and use in Tanjung Sena Village, Sibiru-Biru District, Deli Serdang Regency, where the objects of land consolidation are land, residential buildings, dry land such as oil palms and fields, and village roads. Land consolidation as one of the efforts to increase the utility and results of land use. Land utilization needs to be implemented in the form of land regulation, control, and management. The use and utilization of land is carried out by re-arranging, partnership efforts, transfer and release of land rights in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In the framework of land use management, guidance and control are carried out. Guidance is carried out through the provision of guidelines, guidance, training, and direction, while control is carried out through supervision such as supervision, reporting and regulation. The implementation of the regional spatial planning design is not always effective in the field, some people still assume that land rights are absolute rights, meaning rights that cannot be violated against land even though land rights contain social functions, land can be used by anyone as long as legal procedures have been taken, especially if the prospective land user is the state and is used for public interest.are fun for children such as singing, storytelling, role playing and involving parents in learning at home.

The involvement of a third party in a debt agreement as the owner of the collateral object is a legal act that often occurs in society. Not a few third parties feel disadvantaged due to the debt agreement between the debtor and the creditor because there are still no regulations that clearly regulate their legal protection, one of the cases is Decision Number 808 / Pdt.G / 2021 / PA CN This study aims to examine problems related to legal protection for third parties as owners of collateral according to applicable laws and regulations. This research method uses a normative legal approach by approaching the laws in force in Indonesia, then a normative analysis is carried out using data sources in the form of laws and regulations, court decisions, opinions of legal experts, along with existing legal concepts. This study will later focus on legal protection for third parties as collateral owners based on applicable regulations and legal settlements if third parties feel disadvantaged by the collateral object they own. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is no prohibition on the involvement of third parties as guarantors of land rights in the debt agreement process, however, legal regulations regarding the role of third parties are only explained implicitly in Law No. 4/1996, resulting in third parties being vulnerable to being harmed. As a form of legal protection for third parties, it can be done through a preventive process by issuing APHT and SKMHT by authorized officials, in addition, if the third party's rights have been harmed, it can be taken through litigation and non-litigation.

Since 2017, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency has been tasked by President Joko Widodo to complete land registration across Indonesia by 2025 through the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL). Based on Ministerial Regulation ATR/BPN Number 12 of 2017, updated with Number 6 of 2018, this program aims to provide legal certainty and protection of land rights for the community. However, many people, especially in North Gorontalo Regency, still do not understand how to obtain land certificates due to a lack of information and education about PTSL. This research aims to explore government policies that provide land ownership certificates as legal protection for the community. Better coordination is needed between local governments and the Ministry of ATR/BPN to raise public awareness of the importance of land certificates, which not only guarantee ownership but can also be utilized as business capital. The PTSL program is expected to improve community welfare and reduce land disputes. Research findings indicate that public understanding in North Gorontalo Regency remains low, with obstacles such as a lack of information, complicated procedures, and limited access. Government policies need to include regulatory simplification and increased transparency as well as public services.

Implementation of Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) in Bunut District is one of the biggest PTSL activity targets at the Pelalawan Regency Land Office for the 2021 fiscal year, namely 7,964 Land Rights Certificates (SHAT), however the realization achieved was only 3,728 Certificates (K1). Because of this, the research is intended to examine how Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) activities are implemented in Bunut District and what factors hinder the Implementation of Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) activities in Bunut District.

The research results show that the implementation of Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) activities in Bunut District is in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) based on Minister of ATR/Head of BPN Regulation No. 6 of 2018 concerning PTSL and there are several obstacles in its implementation including: Lack of human resources at the Pelalawan Regency Land Office, lack of enthusiasm regarding the imposition of BPHTB, the existence of plots of land that enter or intersect with PIPPIB areas and forest areas, the imposition of PTSL preparation costs, land owners who are not available or cannot be contacted.

Management rights originating from customary land are also found in the Maluku region, but it is determined that tourism management is one of the efforts made by the community and the government in preserving tourism objects. However, in the management of tourism itself, it is necessary to pay attention to the welfare of the community and the allocation of management rights granted in accordance with Article 7 of PP No. 18 of 2021 concerning management rights, land rights, apartment units, and land registration. This is what, This is what underlies the author to conduct legal counseling on understanding the management rights of dimaluku beach tourism.
