Abstract

The digital transformation of land administration services in Indonesia through the Electronic Land Certificate Program represents a strategic government initiative aimed at improving efficiency, transparency, and legal certainty, as regulated under the Ministerial Regulation of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) No. 3 of 2023. However, its implementation faces multifaceted complexities and challenges at the local level. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the implementation of the electronic land certificate program across four prioritized land offices: Sleman, Bogor I, Bogor II, and Buleleng—by identifying common patterns and specific differences in encountered issues and applied strategies. A descriptive qualitative approach with a comparative case study method was employed. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis at each location. The findings reveal shared challenges, including poor data quality, limited human resources, suboptimal information technology infrastructure, and constrained policy and budget dynamics. Nonetheless, differences arise across local contexts: Sleman highlights case backlogs; Bogor I focuses on media conversion issues; Bogor II emphasizes the relationship between data quality and implementation effectiveness; while Buleleng centers on post-disaster archival reconstruction strategies. This research contributes to a more profound understanding of regional implementation gaps and offers adaptive policy recommendations to accelerate sustainable digital transformation within Indonesia’s national land administration system.

Abstract

Issues of unequal land ownership, protracted agrarian conflicts, and weak legal certainty constitute structural problems that continue to overshadow Indonesia’s national development. In response, the government established the Land Bank through the Job Creation Law and Government Regulation No. 64 of 2021, granting it a strategic mandate to acquire, manage, and distribute land for public interest purposes and agrarian reform. However, its implementation has faced criticism due to its excessive centralization, limited space for public participation, and a tendency to favor investment interests. This study aims to analyze Land Bank management strategies from a land governance perspective using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Following the PRISMA framework, data were gathered from six international databases, yielding 22 selected articles published between 2020 and 2025 in esteemed international journals and recognized national journals. The review identifies five main themes: institutional and regulatory frameworks, digitalization of land information systems, land distribution and agrarian reform, international lessons, and implementation challenges in Indonesia. Collectively, these themes represent the foundations, instruments, objectives, references, and practical realities of land policy. The study concludes that the effectiveness of strengthening the Land Bank hinges on its integration with fair, transparent, and participatory land governance principles. Its main contribution is the proposal of an integrated governance model for the land bank as both a conceptual and practical framework for land policy formulation.

Abstract

The Agrarian Reform policy in Indonesia aims to address land tenure inequality and alleviate poverty. This study examines the phenomenon of resistance among the residents of Pesanggaran Village, Banyuwangi Regency, to the Land Tenure Settlement Program for Forest Area Arrangement (PPTPKH), which was first implemented in Java. Using descriptive qualitative methods, data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and document studies. The findings indicate that the main cause of resistance was community dissatisfaction because the forest area release policy only covered residential land (house sites) and did not accommodate their agricultural land. In addition, resistance was triggered by indications of local political interests, misunderstandings of information from Community Groups (Pokmas), and residents' concerns about land diversion for mining activities. Despite the resistance, the Agrarian Reform Task Force (GTRA) successfully resolved the conflict through a persuasive approach, allowing the land redistribution program to continue. Following the resistance, the implementation of land redistribution in Banyuwangi Regency recorded achievements as a national model in the use of electronic certificates. A total of 10,323 electronic certificates were issued, covering 470 plots of land in Pesanggaran Village. This success was supported by the political will of stakeholders, including the regional government's policy of exempting Land and Building Acquisition Tax (BPHTB) for program participants. This study concluded that active community participation and transparent communication were key to the successful acceleration of agrarian reform in forest areas.

Abstract

Kendeng, as one of the natural landscapes in Central Java, provides various resources that are used by the community, especially the Sedulur Sikep, in carrying out their daily lives. However, the use of natural resources as raw materials for cement has sparked the Sedulur Sikep community to reject and resist the Semen company. Therefore, the conflict in the Kendeng region has become one of the environmental histories in Indonesia. The objectives of this article are 1) to analyze the historical dynamics of human-environmental relations in the Kendeng Mountains and 2) to analyze the representation of ecological conflict in the Kendeng Mountains as a conflict at the local and national levels. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method by analyzing secondary data derived from journal articles that will be analyzed using synthetic analysis. We carry out this process to map the historical roots of the conflict and identify patterns of environmental injustice in regional development. Based on the literature review, it can be seen that the conflict in the Kendeng region represents an ecological conflict that impacts the lives of local communities. The resistance carried out by the Sedulur Sikep community is not just an ordinary environmental movement but a demand for ecological and spiritual sustainability of the community. This conflict demonstrates that development without a focus on justice and environmental sustainability can result in ecological crisis and social alienation. In response to this problem, the government must evaluate and design an optimal spatial plan to harmonize development.

Abstract

Land use planning projects in Tanzania face low participation. Currently we do not know why this is so or under which conditions participation could be high or low. Hence, the research objective is to unveil why or under which conditions participation can be high or low. We use two theoretical perspectives on participation to test this: 1) public good theory stating that participation is low if the project concerns a public good. 2. Participation motivation theory (3 types), stating that-people participate based on their transaction benefits. The test case concerns a dam construction funded by the Tanzania Social Action Fund III. Communities are assumed to participate in making decisions throughout the project. We used questionnaires to unveil how and when people participated. The findings reflect the claims of public good theory in a very few aspects. However, social exchange theory, one of the motivational theories seems to reflect participation behavior the best. We recommend further research to investigate factors for amplifying social exchange theory to enhance participation in land use projects in developing countries.

Abstract

Gender inequality in formal land ownership remains evident, particularly within indigenous communities, even though land rights are legally guaranteed equally for all citizens. This study evaluates the distribution of land ownership based on gender and to analyze the effectiveness of land registration programs, particularly the Complete Systematic Land Registration program, in North Sumatra Province. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines legal ethnography with quantitative analysis. Data were collected through field observations, focus group discussions, interviews with relevant stakeholders, and a literature review. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were used to visualize the spatial distribution of land ownership. legal ethnography examined tenure systems and legal-cultural practices in the study sites. The research was conducted in two locations representing different socio-spatial contexts: Samosir Regency (rural-traditional) and Deli Serdang Regency (sub-urban). The findings reveal gender inequality in land ownership. Spatial analysis indicates that men dominate land ownership with 50.52%, while women account for 38.76%, and the remaining 10.72% of the data lack gender identification. The legal ethnographic analysis further shows that the patrilineal system and administrative barriers in land registration—such as the absence of gender-disaggregated data—continue to sustain the marginalization of women in obtaining equal land rights. The study concludes that regional transitions from rural to sub-urban settings provides greater opportunities for women to access land ownership. However, current government programs remain gender-neutral in design, which may inadvertently reinforce existing inequalities.

Abstract

This study examines the threats posed by agricultural land conversion and analyzes the strategic role of intelligence agencies in mitigating these risks. Employing a qualitative case study approach in Karawang Regency, the research demonstrates that uncontrolled land conversion directly leads to diminished harvest areas, declining rice production, severe soil degradation, and heightened socio-economic pressures on rural communities. Furthermore, weak inter-agency coordination, ineffective law enforcement, and a lack of real-time spatial data accelerate productive land loss. This institutional gap triggers widespread farmer migration, food price inflation, social inequality, and land-access conflicts. To address these vulnerabilities, intelligence institutions play a pivotal role by implementing systematic field data collection, trend analysis, and early warning systems. These measures intercept illicit conversions and support targeted mitigation policies, including farmer capacity building, intervention mapping, and cross-sector collaboration. Ultimately, strategic intelligence serves as a critical instrument for projecting food availability, monitoring supply stability, and structuring crisis mitigation to secure sustainable food self-sufficiency in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Semarang-Demak Toll Road National Strategic Project (PSN) is a solution to boost the economy, alleviate congestion, and adapt to climate change. The long-term construction of the Semarang-Demak toll road (2019–2023) has been hampered by land acquisition on the route inundated by tidal flooding. This study aims to analyze the problems and policies of land acquisition in cases of lost land. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach to examine the problems, policies, and governance issues of land acquisition in three villages (Bedono, Sriwulan, and Purwosari). The findings demonstrate that land subsidence and climate-induced tidal flooding caused the physical disappearance of land parcels, rendering standard statutory mechanisms inapplicable. Therefore, the government introduced a compassionate compensation scheme under Presidential Regulation No. 27 of 2023 to mitigate the social impacts experienced by affected communities, as the assessment of this lost land has implications for the incapacity to provide compensation. This scheme is referred to as a compassionate fund (dana kerohiman). Although the scheme cannot fully compensate for the communities' economic and social losses, but on the other hand, this mechanism is a solution for handling social impacts on the community.

Abstract

This study examines the role of collaborative leadership in the development of integrated land data through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 31 selected scholarly articles published between 2012 and 2025. The findings indicate that the successful development of integrated land data depends not only on technological advancement but also on the capacity of cross-sectoral leadership to foster coordination, institutional interoperability, and adaptive data governance. Standards and frameworks such as the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM), Indonesia's One Map Policy, and the Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration (FFP-LA) approach provide essential foundations for supporting land data integration in Indonesia. The study's principal finding confirms that collaborative leadership serves as the primary driving force behind the development of an integrated land data system by strengthening data governance, promoting standardization, and facilitating the adoption of technological innovation. Based on these findings, the study proposes a conceptual framework that positions collaborative leadership as the entry point for aligning data governance, international standards, and technological innovation to achieve an interoperable and sustainable land data system. The study recommends strengthening collaborative governance, enhancing institutional integration, and developing human resource capacity to support a sustainable national land administration system.

Abstract

Although the establishment of the Land Bank Authority has obtained an adequate legal foundation, its legal legitimacy remains relatively weak. This weak legal legitimacy is reflected in the persistence of intensive academic criticism and the filing of several judicial reviews against regulations related to the Land Bank. How can the legal legitimacy of the Land Bank in Indonesia be rebuilt? Bagaimana membangun kembali legitimasi hukum Bank Tanah di Indonesia? First, by intensifying public dissemination regarding crucial issues, such as land acquisition by statization, and the justification of the Land Bank as a sui generis institution receiving the delegation of the State’s Right to Control (Hak Menguasai Negara). Second, in carrying out its duties, it must focus on the authority attributed to the Land Bank by the Job Creation Law, namely guaranteeing the equitable availability of land for various interests. Third, by enhancing management transparency, particularly in land acquisition and land distribution. It needs to be comprehensively demonstrated that land acquisition is not executed through land acquisition of community land by statization and that its utilization is not solely for investment purposes. Therefore, there is an immediate need to intensify the dissemination of crucial issues, ensure operational consistency in accordance with the attributed authority, and improve management transparency through periodic publications recorded in digital footprints.
