Land issues in the coastal areas of Anyer District, Serang Regency, exhibit structural and complex characteristics characterized by weak legal certainty over land, low community legal literacy, weak village land administration, and increasing land mafia practices along with the rising economic value of land due to the development of tourism and investment. These conditions place coastal communities in a vulnerable position to land disputes and loss of land rights. This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to increase awareness and legal protection for coastal communities through land law counseling as a preventive effort to prevent disputes and land mafia practices. The implementation method uses an educational and participatory approach that includes local context-based legal counseling, interactive discussions, and simple legal consultations. The results of the activity demonstrated a significant increase in public understanding and legal awareness regarding the importance of land certification and orderly land administration. Legal counseling also played a role in increasing community bargaining power in addressing land conflicts. This activity concluded that land legal counseling is a strategic instrument in building community legal resilience and sustainably preventing land mafia practices.
