Abstract

<span>This research aims to analyze the Critical Role of Agrarian Reform in National Development in Indonesia. This research method is normative; namely, research focused on assessing the application of rules or norms in positive law. By using a statutory approach (statute approach) is an approach that is taken by examining the standards contained in statutory provisions. The primary material sources used in this study are the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (1945 Constitution), Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Regulations (UUPA), and MPR RI Decree No. IX/MPR/2001 concerning Agrarian Reform and Natural Resource Management (TAP MPR RI No. IX/MPR/2001), and Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 86 of 2018 concerning Agrarian Reform (Perpres 86/2018). While the secondary legal materials used by the author are publications in the field of law but not official documents, namely: books, journals, and comments. The study results concluded that Agrarian Reform aimed to rearrange the existing order in society so that people could feel justice and equity in the land sector. In carrying out agrarian reform, there are several stages, namely the establishment of a committee at the autonomous regional level, which is tasked with registering land ownership that exceeds the maximum limit and whose goal is people's welfare, legal certainty, and justice. However, in its development, the implementation of agrarian reform experienced obstacles that caused the main objectives of agricultural reform not to be achieved, so a rural reform arrangement was needed to be aimed at the prosperity of the people.</span>
