Abstract

The digitalization of land certificates has become a key component of Indonesia's land administration reform, requiring corresponding changes in legal accountability and governance. This study examines the implications of electronic land certificates for the accountability of Notaries and Land Deed Officials (PPAT) in achieving Good Land Governance. A qualitative literature review was conducted by analyzing statutory regulations, academic books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and publications from international organizations related to digital governance, land administration, and public accountability. The findings identify four major themes: digital transformation as institutional reform, the reconstruction of PPAT accountability, the allocation of legal responsibility among PPAT, ATR/BPN, and electronic system administrators, and the development of a legal accountability framework for electronic land administration. The study concludes that accountability should be differentiated according to statutory authority and institutional functions rather than treated as a shared obligation. It proposes a Legal Accountability Framework consisting of preventive accountability, procedural accountability, professional accountability, administrative and civil liability, disciplinary accountability, and institutional oversight. This framework strengthens legal certainty, transparency, institutional coordination, and public trust while providing a conceptual basis for implementing accountable and sustainable electronic land administration in Indonesia.
