Penyelesaian Sengketa dan Konflik Pertanahan di Indonesia: Kajian Politik Hukum

Land plays a crucial role in the ecosystem for all living beings. It has many functions in human life due to its permanent nature and its necessity from birth until death. Its uses can be diverse, but the most evident is its role as a tool for production or profit extraction. In agrarian countries, land is essential for the prosperity and well-being of the people. However, in Indonesia, there are many agrarian disputes and conflicts caused by the increasing population and the decreasing availability of land, despite numerous legal and political efforts that have resulted in land-related regulations. This study aims to analyze the causes of the proliferation of land disputes in Indonesia. The research uses a normative method, which finds that the government lacks seriousness and political will to address the issue at its roots; government actions are limited to repressive measures and have not yet extended to preventive measures.
