Abstract

Investment is an essential instrument for capitalist countries to boost the national economy and create job opportunities for the community. Investment in Indonesia began with Foreign Investment Law No. 56 of 1964, which was later updated with Foreign Investment Law No. 25 of 2007 in line with the times. To increase investor interest in entering Indonesia, the government enacted Job Creation Law No. 11 of 2020, which was further updated through the Job Creation Law up to 2023. Due to the complexity and increasing number of investors facing obstacles such as land acquisition and regional policies, a Presidential Regulation on National Strategic Projects (PSN) was issued. The government's hopes and expectations for smooth investor operations do not always align with implementation. Specifically, PSNs often result in agrarian conflicts for local residents whose land is taken over for PSN purposes. In the context of investment in Batam, particularly the Rempang Eco-City Development Plan in the Rempang-Galang area, clashes occurred and drew national attention and concern from various experts when land measurements began by PT MEG, escorted by the Joint Team comprising police, TNI, and the Ditpam Batam Management Agency (BP Batam). They have not reached an agreement but are already being pushed for swift execution. The obstacles to investment in the PSN Rempang Eco-City include conflicts arising from legal uncertainties over land ownership since the administrative change from Bintan Selatan District to Batam City, becoming Galang District since 1980. Represented by their legal counsel LBH GP Asnhor, they demand legal certainty over their ancestral land to be issued certificates, enabling fair and humane compensation. This demand has been submitted to President Joko Widodo regarding the request for land legality for the villages on Rempang Island, Galang Island, and New Galang Island on behalf of the chairman of the Local Indigenous People's Relatives (KERAMAT) Gerisman Ahmad. Due to these obstacles and conflicts, the central government, through President Joko Widodo, issued Presidential Regulation No. 78 of 2023 on Handling Social Community Impacts in the Context of Land Provision for National Development. However, as of July 2024, there has not been a comprehensive agreement between the community, the Batam City government, and the head of BP Batam. The government is taking a softer approach by personally approaching residents to relocate to Tanjung Banon, where four model houses have been provided as promised incentives for those willing to move.

Abstract

This study examines the juridical analysis of land rights over reclamation areas in Batam City, with a case study of PT. Pasifik Karya Sindo. The core issue lies in the legal status of reclaimed land, which is not yet comprehensively regulated under Indonesian law, leading to legal uncertainty for both business actors and local authorities. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches. Data were collected through literature review, analysis of relevant legislation, and examination of legal documents. The findings indicate that reclaimed land essentially remains part of state-controlled coastal areas under the Basic Agrarian Law and sectoral maritime regulations. However, the granting of land rights over reclaimed areas requires clearer legal foundations to avoid conflicts with the principles of legal certainty and justice. The case of PT. Pasifik Karya Sindo illustrates the regulatory disharmony between the authority of the Batam Development Board and the local government, which has resulted in delays in the legalization of reclamation land rights. This study recommends regulatory synchronization between the central government, the Batam Authority, and local government, as well as the formulation of specific regulations on the management of reclamation land to ensure legal certainty and prevent future land disputes.

Abstract

This study examines the mechanism for resolving land tenure issues within the framework of Forest Area Structuring (PPTPKH) in Karimun Regency. The central problem lies in the mismatch between community land tenure and the designation of forest areas, which often generates legal as well as social conflicts. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, complemented by empirical data through interviews and document analysis at the regional level. The findings indicate that the implementation of PPTPKH in Karimun Regency faces several challenges, including regulatory disharmony between central and local governments, limited spatial data, and weak institutional coordination. The resolution mechanism applied involves administrative and technical verification of land claims, assessment based on principles of social justice and legal certainty, and granting legal access through forest area release, land-swap schemes, or the allocation of land rights under agrarian law. However, the implementation remains suboptimal due to overlapping authorities and limited institutional capacity. This study recommends regulatory harmonization, strengthening land and forestry databases, and enhancing the role of local governments in the PPTPKH process to achieve a fairer, more transparent, and sustainable resolution of land tenure issues.
