Inhibiting Factors Faced by the Government in Realizing Legal Protection in Land Acquisition for Public Interest

Abstract

Land acquisition for road construction in Indonesia is a crucial aspect in supporting the acceleration of infrastructure development and national economic growth. However, in practice, the land acquisition process often faces various complex problems, both from a legal, social, economic, and institutional perspective. This study aims to identify and analyze various problems that arise in land acquisition for road construction in Indonesia, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of applicable regulations. The method used is a normative juridical approach with an analysis of laws and regulations, specifically Law Number 2 of 2012 concerning Land Acquisition for Development in the Public Interest, as well as literature studies from various scientific sources. The results of the study indicate that the main inhibiting factors faced by the government in land acquisition include disagreements in determining compensation, agrarian conflicts between the government and the community, weak coordination between agencies, and a lack of transparency in the land acquisition process. In addition, social impacts such as population relocation and loss of livelihoods are also important issues that require attention. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve policy implementation, increase public participation, and strengthen aspects of justice and legal certainty to minimize conflict and accelerate road infrastructure development in Indonesia.
