Abstract:

State control over land is a mandate stipulated in Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD 1945). The state is mandated to manage and utilize land based on the spirit of improving public welfare. Agrarian reform in the land sector is one form of overhaul or restructuring of land management and utilization. Agrarian reform functions to strengthen land ownership for all Indonesians, especially the landless. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the land redistribution program. The method used in this study is normative juridical, relying on secondary data as the main source. The data collected includes primary legal materials such as laws and regulations related to agrarian matters, as well as secondary legal materials consisting of literature such as books and journals discussing land redistribution from land objects of agrarian reform. Land is a major factor in agricultural development. The findings of this study indicate that priority in the implementation of agrarian reform is given to state land or former plantation land whose HGU validity period has expired and has not submitted a permit extension request in the past year. The form of state control over this land needs to be specifically regulated in a law governing land. One form of state control is through land redistribution. Land redistribution for the people is carried out by identifying Agrarian Reform Object Land (TORA) to then be managed as part of the Agrarian Reform. In addition, in order to support the land redistribution program, the government can impose a moratorium on land use for business-oriented development, limit land ownership and control, control land prices, and revoke rights to unused land.
