Abstract

Barito Market in Semarang City serves as a central hub for motorcycle spare parts trade, playing a strategic role in the local economy. The market’s relocation, initiated by the local government, aimed to enhance comfort and orderliness in accordance with Semarang City Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2013 on the Management of Traditional Markets. This study aims to examine the impact of the relocation on the economic stability of motorcycle spare parts traders. The research employed a qualitative method with an empirical juridical approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observation, documentation, and literature review. The results show that the relocation initially caused a decline in traders’ turnover due to customers’ unfamiliarity with the new location. However, in the medium term, traders who adapted well began to experience an increase in customers and income. Furthermore, the relocation created a more equal competitive environment among traders, due to a more organized market layout. In conclusion, while the relocation posed initial challenges for traders, in the long term, it has the potential to support business sustainability if backed by responsive regulations and adaptive strategies from market participants.

Abstract

Land disputes remain a recurring issue in Indonesia, including in rapidly developing areas such as Bekasi Regency. One case that reflects the complexity of land affairs occurred in Tambun Selatan District, specifically in the Setia Mekar Residence Cluster 2, where residents holding Land Ownership Certificates faced land execution based on a court decision that had obtained permanent legal force. As a result, these residents lost the legal certainty previously guaranteed by their certificates. This study aims to examine the factors that led to the issuance of Land Ownership Certificates on disputed land and to analyze the form of legal responsibility held by the Land Office. The research employs a qualitative approach with a non-doctrinal method. The findings reveal that the primary causes of the issuance of Land Ownweship Certificates on contested land include the Land Office's lack of involvement in the juridical proceedings, the existence of a peace agreement between the disputing parties, and data discrepancies between the Land Office and the court. Nevertheless, if residents feel harmed by such decisions, they still have the right to seek accountability from the Land Office and pursue legal remedies either through an administrative lawsuit to the Administrative Court or through a civil lawsuit based on an unlawful act as regulated under Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code.

Abstract

Economic exploitation of children is a form of human rights violation that is still rampant, especially in areas with high poverty rates and limited access to education and legal protection. In Central Java, this phenomenon often affects children from marginalized families who are forced to work to help support their families' economy. This study aims to analyze how empowering marginalized communities can be an effective strategy in supporting the implementation of legal protection for children who are victims of economic exploitation. Using a qualitative approach and case study methods in several areas in Central Java, this study explores the role of local communities, civil society organizations, and government institutions in building legal awareness and social capacity of marginalized communities. The results of the study show that community empowerment not only increases understanding of children's rights but also strengthens the community's bargaining position in rejecting exploitative practices. Programs such as skills training, legal counseling, and the formation of local advocacy groups have been shown to create a more protective environment for children. In addition, collaboration between the community, local government, and child protection institutions is key to building a sustainable protection system that is responsive to local needs. This study confirms that a community-based approach is an important element in child protection strategies, especially in areas with limited resources. Therefore, policies are needed that support the active participation of marginalized communities in the process of formulating and implementing child legal protection. Thus, child protection efforts are not only the responsibility of the state, but also become a collective movement from the grassroots that starts from shared awareness and concern.

Abstract

The Constitutional Court is one of the institutions that had an important role in strengthening the democracy. This institution is not only tasked with testing the law on the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, but also as a guardian of democratic values and constitutionality in various state policies. This study aims to explore more deeply how the Constitutional Court lives its functions in building a healthy, stable, and fair democratic system. In many cases, the Constitutional Court has become the last place for citizens in fighting for their rights that are considered neglected by existing regulations. Some important decisions that have been issued show their alignments on the protection of human rights and social justice, which is a pillar of democracy itself. The Constitutional Court also performed the function as a counterweight in the Trias Politica system, especially in setting the potential for abuse of power from the executive institution and legislative. In this case, the Court is not only reactive to the application, but also shows a proactive attitude in maintaining constitutional values so as not to be violated by the authorities. The methods used in this study are normative research with statutory and conceptual approaches and literature studies. The existence of the Constitutional Court is not just a symbol of law, but also an essential control tool in creating political balance, ensuring people's participation, and maintaining democracy in the midst of challenges that are changing. The Constitutional Court plays a central role in strengthening the constitutional democratic system in Indonesia. In this system, which emphasizes the supremacy of the constitution, the protection of human rights, the separation of power and the organization of democratic elections, the Constitutional Court acts as the guardian of the constitution and balancing of state power.

Abstract

The church as a legal subject as well as a place of Christian worship that has a role and function as a place of worship for Christians. The granting of property rights over land to Christian religious institutions, namely churches, provides an important issue in the land system in Indonesia.

Abstract

Termination of employment (PHK) is an event that has significant impacts on the welfare of workers, both economically, socially, and psychologically. In response to this challenge, the Indonesian government introduced the Job Loss Insurance (JKP) program through Law Number 6 of 2023 as a new social protection scheme for workers affected by termination. This study employs a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches to analyze the effectiveness of JKP in providing post-termination protection. The results show that the JKP scheme offers more comprehensive protection compared to the previous provisions in Law Number 13 of 2003. In addition to financial benefits in the form of cash assistance for up to six months, JKP also provides access to job training and employment placement services. This program not only helps workers survive the transitional period but also enhances their employment opportunities and competitiveness in the labor market. The scheme is managed by the Workers Social Security Agency (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) with funding support derived from the redistribution of contributions from the Work Accident Insurance (JKK) and Death Insurance (JKM) programs, along with subsidies from the state budget (APBN). The implementation of JKP encourages active participation from both workers and employers in the social security system, strengthens labor formalization, and improves corporate accountability. With its proactive and sustainable approach, JKP has the potential to become a strategic instrument in the reform of national labor protection and to reinforce the role of the state in realizing social welfare for all Indonesian workers.

Abstract

The difference in compensation value for land acquisition for public interest between certified and uncertified land can be seen in the case of land acquisition for the Kebumen Police in 2024. Existing legal provisions do not clearly differentiate the compensation value based on proof of ownership, thus creating legal uncertainty. This study aims to determine the legal certainty for owners of uncertified land and the implementation of the land acquisition. The method used is a qualitative approach with an empirical legal research type, through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results of the study show that uncertified land can be assessed using non-certificate documents, and the assessment is carried out with reference to the Indonesian Assessment Standards (SPI) 204. This study recommends accelerating community land registration in order to reduce disparities in compensation values, as well as the need for stricter regulations regarding the standards for proving ownership of uncertified land. In addition, SPI 204 needs to be explicitly included in laws and regulations or become an attachment to the technical regulations for implementing land acquisition in order to have clearer and more binding legal force.

Abstract

Food security is a crucial element in realizing sustainable development of a country. In this case, government institutions also have a role in striving for food security in a country. In Indonesia, the land office Atr/Bpn has this role. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause the conversion of agricultural land in Sukoharjo Regency and evaluate the role of the Land Office (ATR/BPN) in the control process. This study uses a qualitative approach with an empirical legal type, and data is obtained through interviews, document studies, and field observations. The results of the study indicate that land conversion is influenced by economic factors such as high land sales value, social factors in the form of population growth and urbanization, and regulatory factors and spatial planning policies. In addition, the development of strategic areas also drives conversion, coupled with the ongoing land sale and purchase process that occurs without a thorough examination of the zoning status. ATR/BPN Sukoharjo plays a role in control by providing technical considerations and involvement in spatial planning forums. This study recommends strengthening coordination between technical sections within the ATR/BPN environment, increasing cross-agency synergy, and consistent policy implementation so that agricultural land is maintained sustainably.

Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of electronic land certificates in ensuring legal certainty of land rights in Pekalongan City. The digital transformation of land administration represents a strategic initiative by the government to improve public services, yet its implementation faces significant challenges. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of conventional and electronic certificates, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and assess their impact on legal certainty and protection of land rights. Employing an empirical approach, data was collected through interviews with officials at the Pekalongan City Land Office, direct observations, and document analysis of relevant regulations including the 1960 Basic Agrarian Law, Government Regulation No. 24/1997, and Ministerial Regulation ATR/BPN No. 1/2021. Content analysis and normative interpretation were applied to analyze the data. The findings reveal that while electronic certificates offer advantages in security, accessibility, and administrative efficiency, their implementation remains suboptimal due to uneven technological infrastructure, low digital literacy among communities, and internal resistance from land office employees toward system changes. Challenges include risks of certificate duplication and data overlap, while opportunities lie in enhanced transparency of land services. The research concludes that certificate digitalization has not yet achieved full effectiveness due to structural, cultural, and institutional barriers. The study recommends developing digital infrastructure at regional levels, providing intensive training for land office staff, and conducting massive public outreach to optimize land digitalization as an instrument of agrarian reform and state administration modernization.
