Agricultural Land Control Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/ Head of the National Land Agency of the Republic of Indonesia Number 18 of 2016 Concerning Control of Agricultural Land Tenure

The goal of managing Agricultural Land Tenure is to regulate the utilization of agricultural land for purposes other than agriculture, such as housing or other activities. This is a problem, what if a citizen has land with agricultural status, then there are many things that have to go through until it can be divided and sold to other parties. The problem of dividing agricultural land is approached through compliance with the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency of Indonesia Number 18 of 2016, which dictates the legal repercussions of not following the Site Plan provided by local governments. This research takes a normative perspective, concentrating on the process of agricultural land disappearing based on the mentioned rule. The goal is to stop the transformation of agricultural land into housing developments. The rule also requires that any changes be sent to the local RT RW district/city and then forwarded to the Ministry of Land and Spatial Planning. This rule is based on the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of BPN Decree Number 1589/SK-HK.02.01/XII/2021, which deals with the Mapping of Protected Rice Fields (LSD) in Regencies/Cities. If the separation of agricultural land does not follow the site plan provided by the local governments, there may be legal consequences. Based on an analysis of the theory of authority, this violation would likely be rejected as the use of the set plan is compulsory for dividing land plots exceeding 5 plots and agricultural land.
