Abstract

This paper examines the human rights implications of forced evictions in urban areas of Indonesia, where rapid urbanization and development projects often result in the displacement of vulnerable populations. Focusing on Jakarta and other major cities, the study explores the legal, social, and economic impacts of evictions on affected communities, particularly low-income families, indigenous peoples, and informal settlers. Using case studies and interviews with displaced residents, human rights activists, and legal professionals, the paper critically evaluates the enforcement of property rights versus the rights to housing, livelihood, and cultural identity. The research highlights the gaps in legal protections for evicted individuals, with particular attention to the failure of local authorities to comply with international human rights standards on forced displacement. The paper concludes by discussing the role of civil society, media, and international actors in advocating for stronger safeguards against forced evictions and suggesting policy reforms to ensure the protection of the right to adequate housing in urban development planning.
