PTSL Program in the Context of Conflict Prevention and Land Disputes

Abstract

That the status of land ownership in Indonesia is still not completely registered, for example customary landin a few Territories in Indonesia are still not registered, so in order to obtain proof of land ownership, parties who control customary property rights must submit an application for land registrationfirst time through the local land office. Often, in several cases, customary land cannot be registered due to various reasons, such as a lack of information or the unavailability of a fee to register the land. Customary land that has not been registered will result in the vulnerability of land disputes or conflictsin later days, and this is anticipated by establishing a Complete Systematic Land Registration procedure by the Government through the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning with the APBN/APBD budget.
