Abstract
The issue of land subdivision conflicts, specifically "lot lidi," remains unresolved. To date, the rights of “lot lidi” purchasers are not safeguarded under the National Land Code (NLC) due to the failure to register buyers' names in the documents of title. This study aims to devise a method for registering buyers' names in the documents of title from a land law perspective. The objective is to identify existing land laws that can address the proprietorhip issues of “lot lidi”. The scope of this study focuses on resolving “lot lidi” issues through current land laws that can be implemented by the Land Office and State Authorities. Additionally, the study specifically addresses “lot lidi”, which are alienated lands categorized as agricultural and illegally subdivided through unapproved sketches for residential plots. The research also examines the sale of “lot lidi” outside the framework of NLC, which prevents the registration of buyers' names in the documents of title due to legal prohibitions on such transactions. This qualitative study employs literature review and semi-structured interviews with respondents from land administration, legal officers, legal practitioners, and academics. The findings reveal ten (10) provisions within the NLC that can be referenced to develop a method for resolving “lot lidi” proprietorship. The study's results yield two (2) main outcomes: first, a detailed breakdown of provisions based on three (3) stages—application, approval, and registration; second, specific attributes within each stage that are organized to be easily understood. Ultimately, the existing provisions for resolving “lot lidi’ and their details can be extracted to guide stakeholders in developing solutions for “lot lidi” proprietorhip issues.
