Abstract

This study examines the legal implications of land conversion as a process that alters land use either partially or entirely and consequently affects environmental sustainability and the productive capacity of land resources. The increasing transformation of agricultural land into non-agricultural uses reduces the availability of productive farmland and generates serious challenges for government authorities in maintaining food security and ensuring sustainable land governance. Economic growth, urban expansion, and development policies frequently encourage the conversion of agricultural land and thereby intensify pressure on the availability of land that supports long term agricultural production. These conditions require a regulatory framework that is capable of balancing development interests with the protection of agricultural land resources. This research analyzes the regulatory framework governing the conversion of sustainable food agricultural land into non-agricultural uses, identifies the factors that create the absence of legal certainty in its implementation, and formulates a reconstruction of regulatory policies that can strengthen legal certainty in land governance. The study applies a normative juridical research method supported by empirical data and uses statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches to examine the issue systematically. The analysis demonstrates that first, the legal system has integrated land conversion regulation within the broader framework of sustainable agricultural land protection and spatial planning governance. Second, implementation has not produced adequate legal certainty because uncontrolled land conversion continues to occur, land use practices frequently diverge from spatial planning policies, regulatory substance remains weak, law enforcement operates ineffectively, and institutional coordination remains limited. Third, strengthening legal certainty requires regulatory reconstruction through harmonization of regulatory instruments, improvement of mapping mechanisms supported by field verification, and stronger coordination between central and regional governments.

Abstract

This study examines the increasing demands of globalization by asserting that higher education institutions must develop governance systems that operate effectively and ensure accountability. It argues that the implementation of Good University Governance functions as a strategic instrument to reinforce transparency, accountability, and participatory management within higher education institutions. The study investigates whether such implementation can significantly enhance educational quality in accordance with sustainable development objectives. Employing a normative legal research method, this research applies statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, including a comparison with governance practices in Malaysia and Singapore. The findings demonstrate that first, the implementation of Good University Governance substantially improves the quality of university governance by promoting institutional transparency, accountability, and responsiveness to societal needs. Second, higher education institutions encounter persistent challenges in implementing Good University Governance, particularly in relation to inadequate infrastructure, limited human resource capacity, regulatory inconsistency, and weak monitoring and transparency mechanisms. Third, the study formulates legal strategies that prioritize regulatory strengthening, effective supervision, protection of stakeholder rights, and the integration of technology to establish adaptive, transparent, and accountable governance systems that support the realization of quality education within the framework of sustainable development.

Abstract

The criminal justice system enforces legal norms and delivers justice by relying on legally admissible evidence as the foundation of judicial decision making. In Indonesia, the legislature enacted Law No. 20 of 2025 to reform the evidentiary system, replace the previous Criminal Procedure Code, and expand the categories of admissible evidence under Article 235 from five to eight types, including the formal recognition of electronic evidence. This reform accommodates the increasing role of digitalisation in legal processes and integrates contemporary forms of evidence into the criminal justice framework. This study analyses the implications of the evidentiary reform and examines the interpretation of mass media reporting as a source of factual information in criminal proof. The research applies a normative legal method, employs conceptual and socio legal approaches, and conducts qualitative descriptive analysis of statutory regulations and legal doctrines. The findings demonstrate that, first, mass media reporting disseminated through digital platforms qualifies conceptually as electronic documents within the expanded evidentiary framework. Second, such reporting functions as a supplementary evidentiary source when it fulfils the principles of legality, authenticity, verification, and relevance. Third, despite this potential contribution, mass media reporting lacks independent probative value and therefore cannot serve as conclusive evidence in criminal proceedings.
