Abstract

In the development sector, the need for land is increasing, resulting in the higher land value and land use mismatches. Urban areas have a relatively fixed area, while the need for land continues to increase. Weaknesses in urban management lead to speculation, illegal land use, and slums. Development activities should impact the physical, environmental, economic, and social conditions of the community [29]. The development process often pays little attention to these matters. In the last few decades, we have observed a very rapid social transformation process in urban areas that has changed the morphology of Indonesian cities. This transformation has accelerated after the implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia since 1999. Land conflicts in urban areas do not end, so it is necessary to consolidate land as an activity to restructure land tenure, land use, and land acquisition to improve environmental quality and preserve natural resources and ecosystems by involving the community to play an active role. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which land readjustment in Indonesia can improve the efficiency and productivity of morphological transformation of urban land use, the extent of community participation, and its alignments to low-income people and their handling of slum areas. This study uses qualitative exploratory research methods and normative juridical approach methods through library studies. It uses the legislative approach, fact approach, and conceptual approach and primary data in the form of interviews to complete library studies. The study results show that land readjustment can improve the efficiency and productivity of morphological transformation of urban land use optimally and it is an effective way that contributes to the spatial planning that is more just, integrated and sustainable.

Summary

Introduction

Cities will always grow and develop in line with the development of the socio-cultural, economic and political life. City development is the result of the work of human thought constructs both at the level of adaptation to the environment and adjustment. Culture is one of the factors that cause the images of the city to change [13]. City people with certain backgrounds from traditional to modern life patterns influence changes in the formation of cities. The factor of the stability of the community's culture in maintaining the penetration of outside culture (the influence of acculturation and assimilation of culture) and the intensity of the influence of change are two factors that greatly determine the process of urban development [15][30]. Natural factors such as geographical conditions, land structure and so on play a very important role in the growth and development of cities [47]. Natural factors such as geographical conditions, land structure and so on play a very important role in the growth and development of cities [47]. [48]
