GOVERNMENT REGULATION NUMBER 24 OF 1997 CONCERNING LAND REGISTRATION IN IMPLEMENTATION AND PROBLEMS AT REGENCY/CITY NATIONAL LAND AGENCY OFFICES

Problems are complex and multi-functional and involve cross-sectoral aspects of life in society. Therefore, handling land problems cannot be seen from just one side, it must be comprehensive and integrated so that solutions can be resolved. In terms of community land registration, especially in Subang Regency, each agency related to land. This program is primarily concerned with issuing land certificates so that they can be fully functional and mobilized to take part in handling land issues in accordance with the scope of individual work. Coordination is carried out by the National Land Agency. This agency must have cooperation and a collaborative network with all related agencies and the need to handle strategic land issues, including land registration. This research uses normative juridical methods, with secondary data methods which are then analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques. The results show that the determination of land registration, especially in Subang Regency, if seen from Law Number 5 of 1960, is basically as intended in Article 46 to Article 72 of the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs/Head of the National Land Agency Number 3 of 1997 concerning Implementing Regulations of Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. The sanctions given to land officials deviate from the legal provisions in registering land being handed over to the public. Even if there is evidence of a violation of fund allocation, it may be criminalized as an act of corruption.

Planning For The Development Of Technical Competence In Land Management (Case Study At The Regional Office Of The National Land Agency, DKI Jakarta Province)

This study aims to design a development plan for technical competencies in land management, specifically within the Regional Office of the National Land Agency (BPN) DKI Jakarta Province. The complexity of land issues in urban areas like Jakarta necessitates the improvement of technical competencies among functional land administrators to ensure effective performance and service delivery. Using a qualitative research approach, data was gathered through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research highlights the absence of a structured competency development plan for land administrators and suggests the need for tailored training programs. Findings emphasize the importance of digital literacy, land administration skills, legal expertise, and communication skills to meet the demands of modern land management. The study concludes with recommendations for competency development that aligns with organizational goals, proposing a competency framework tailored to the challenges faced in Jakarta.

Study on Fatigue Performance and Rutting Prediction Model of Steel Slag Asphalt Mixture

Steel slag, a significant industrial waste, poses environmental and land issues due to its accumulation. This research explores using steel slag to replace natural aggregates in steel slag asphalt mixture (SSAM) at varying levels by weight: 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The research evaluated the pavement and fatigue performance of SSAM, noting that dynamic stability (DS) peaked at a 75% slag content. Although low-temperature flexibility decreased, it remained within acceptable limits. The mixture met or exceeded Chinese specifications for resistance to water and traffic stress. Fatigue life varied with slag content, decreasing at high levels due to increased stiffness and stress. A rutting prediction model for SSAM was developed, utilizing a back propagation neural network for accurate rut depth forecasts, demonstrating the model's precision with a fit of 0.99744. This study suggests optimized slag content enhances SSAM performance, offering a sustainable approach to managing steel slag.

Decolonizing New Testament Studies: A Māori Perspective

Beginning with my personal experience of encountering ideas about decolonization in various settings, and considering what it might mean for New Testament studies in Aotearoa New Zealand, this essay then presents the contributions of the few Māori scholars who have worked in biblical studies, identifying how they reflect on the legacies of colonization and the challenge of decolonization. As an example of a Māori engagement with a New Testament text, I present a reading of the Canaanite woman’s encounter with Jesus as presented in Matthew 15.21–28, focused on issues of racism, people, and land. Finally, the essay concludes with some proposals on what a decolonized New Testament studies would look like based on my experience as a Māori student and then lecturer.

Risk management: Clean water crisis mitigation efforts in Indonesia with rain water harvesting and reverse osmosis innovations

Background: Water is an important component for living things on earth, so water cannot be separated from human life. This is because the human component consists of 70% water in it. The increase in population and polluted water sources has caused humans to experience a clean water crisis, thereby hampering human socioeconomic life on earth. Findings: Considering that Indonesia has a fairly high rainfall, namely 2,702 mm3 per year, and has polluted water sources and a large sea area, the innovative idea of using rainwater harvesting and reverse osmosis is a solution to overcome problems and be able to overcome the risk of a clean water crisis in the future. front. Discussing the clean water crisis in Indonesia, the area that has this problem is one of the DKI Jakarta areas, namely, Muara Angke, Pluit, and North Jakarta. Methods: In writing this idea, systematic literature reviews and article reviews were used. The systematic method of the literature review is collecting metadata obtained according to the journal database via https://scholar.google.com/ and visualizing it using VOSviewer. This is intended to show research trends regarding clean water technology. Conclusion: Three blocks have a water shortage crisis, namely the Waste Block, the Eceng Block, and the Empang Block. The scarcity of clean water in this area is caused by illegal land issues which makes it difficult to obtain permits for piping systems from the PDAM and the contamination of springs due to the influence of geographical location. The implementation of this technology is considered quite simple in the community so it can be a solution to the clean water crisis problem.Of course, the treated water is expected to meet the parameters of clean water, namely the Ministry of Health Regulation Number 32 of 2017 concerning sanitation water and the Ministry of Health Regulation Number 492 of 2010 concerning drinking water quality standards. So that the water can be utilized by the people of Indonesia.

The Urgency of Setting Environmental Quality Standards by the Governor in the Context of Environmental Protection and Management in the Region

The environment is a crucial instrument in human life because it is where human life takes place. The environment is where humans develop and reproduce. Additionally, the environment is also a vital instrument in sustainable development within a country's region. The increasing critical land issues due to surpassing environmental quality standards indicate efforts towards environmental destruction, particularly in terms of wastewater standards. Humans fundamentally need natural resources such as land, water, and air. Therefore, if these components of natural resources are polluted or damaged, they can affect human life sustainability. Regarding wastewater quality standards, the Governor, as the government, is obliged to take action by establishing wastewater quality standards according to laws and regulations. However, if environmental quality standard parameters cannot adjust to the conditions of that region's environment, the Governor is obligated to tighten the determination of environmental quality standard parameters.

Problematic Land Buying and Selling Transactions

Introduction: Land ownership has become a primary need, but in the process of land ownership there are still problems. Basically, the acquisition of land rights according to the Decree of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs Number 21 of Article 1 Point 1, the acquisition of land is carried out by transferring land rights or through the delivery of release of land rights followed by granting rights. But this activity is not carried out in its entirety so that it will cause problems in granting rights to the community. Purposes of the Research: This research was conducted in Sanahu Village, Elpaputih District, West Seram Regency. This village prioritizes and gives importance to matters relating to customary land. However, based on the dinamics of the community, transactions carried out by the community should be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the legislation governing land registration in order to obtain legal certainty in the transactions carried out and aim for orderly administration in land sector. Methods of the Research: This research method is empirical juridical research that uses primary and secondary data. The legal materials used are primary legal materials, secondary legal materials with questionnaire and interview methods, data collection techniques with literature studies and field studies. Data processing and analysis techniques use descriptive analytical data analysis by identifying, classifying, then analyzing and describing according to the hierarchy. Results of the Research: Based on have not carried out the first land the results of the interviews, it is known that some people in Sanahu village do not know about the sale and purchase practices that should be taken in order to obtain legal certainty from the sale and purchase transactions carried out. This should be done based on the provisions of Article 19 paragraph 2 of the UUPA, Article 37 of PP 24 of 1997 concerning land registration. As a result, in the event of problems related to previous land transactions, the community had to resolve themselves in a family manner, either without or with assistance from local officials. As a result, the people of Sanahu village have not carried out the initial registration and maintenance of land registration data properly. Because land administration is not orderly, if there are land issues in transactions carried out either by transferring rights or encumbering rights, there will be problems in the future and limit land owners in carriying out legal actions.

The Animal Other: Revisiting Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story’s Jerry and Peter from a Postcolonial Lens

This paper delves into the intricate layers of Edward Albee's The Zoo Story (1958), with Jerry embodying the other and Peter representing the self. The focus is on the rich and complex postcolonial issues of hybrid identity, land, art, and otherness. The fixed identities of Jerry and Peter serve as a lens to understand the dynamics between the self and the other, where every other is shaped by the conquering culture while rejecting its ability to define it. Otherness is a complex and multifaceted concept involving discourse and the dominant group's norms and ideals. To maintain their feeling of superiority, Westerners stigmatized groups such as Others, Barbarians, Savages, and People of Color throughout the colonial era. The conflict is perpetuated through stereotyped ideals and spatial structure. The paper employs the Manichean allegory, the fragmented family metaphor, and the Native American trickster figure to delve into otherness and becoming an animal in the Third Space, Central Park, a unique blend of wilderness and modern life. The sudden appearance of the trickster Jerry in the northern part of the park, leading to a fatal fight for the bench, will expose invisible crimes rooted in animality, sexuality, and criminality discourses of identity-making. Albee's narrative will bring Editor Peter to the shaman's path through tribal storytelling and murder, a powerful tool for promoting sensation for diversity in media, forcing Peter to confront his other and self as the colonizer, colonized, and the animal via the face of the dying animal, Jerry, impossible to deface.

Chiefs, Courts, and Upholding Property Rights: Quasi-Experimental Evidence from Sierra Leone

Abstract Land disputes are unavoidable and costly to resolve in the formal courts in contexts with weak property rights and low state capacity. In order to relax the pressure on strained formal courts, many countries permit parallel informal dispute-resolution forums. This paper studies the extent to which one such forum—Chiefdom Land Committees (CLCs)—in Sierra Leone is able to resolve land disputes. This paper constructs a data set of ligated cases at local courts across the country and implements a difference-in-difference design to estimate the effect of the CLCs on land caseload in the formal courts. Contrary to the policy goals, this paper finds that on average, chiefdoms with CLCs have higher land caseload in the formal courts three years on. By adopting the CLCs, chiefdoms plausibly made land issues more salient, but, instead of providing final resolutions, CLCs are conduits for the formalization of land disputes.

However, it was subsequently amended by Supreme Court Regulation Number 4 of 2019. The value of the lawsuit is set at IDR 500,000,000.00, with a case subscription period of 25 days. The categories of this simple lawsuit are default (breach of promise) and tort, with the exception of those concerning land issues. The application of this simple lawsuit at the Pekanbaru District Court is commendable, although a few obstacles remain. However, these do not impede the resolution of existing cases. With regard to the obstacles for judges in this simple lawsuit, namely the District Court, it is necessary to implement a more extensive socialization program to educate the public about this simple lawsuit. This will help to prevent any errors when filing a case resolved through a simple lawsuit.

What, How, Why? An Outline of the State’s Attitude Towards Agriculture and Farmers in Early Yugoslav Socialism, 1945–1953 (With an Emphasis on Slovenia)

In this review article, the author presents the crucial factors regarding the legal provisions that shaped agricultural policy in early socialism in Yugoslavia (1945–1953). In doing so, he focuses on the developments in agriculture in Slovenia. The article presents the agrarian question (the issue of land and its ownership) and the agricultural question (the attitude of the authorities towards peasants as a social and professional group). It outlines the agrarian reform in Slovenia (1945–1948), its impact (consequences), and the intervention of the authorities in agriculture to provide for the population. These interventions included the collectivisation of agriculture based on the model of the Soviet Union’s kolkhozes. The authorities’ attitude towards agriculture included pragmatic reasons (supplying the population) as well as political and ideological motives.

Mapping the Key Actors of Rural Land Conflicts in Bangladesh

Conflicts over rural land have plagued Bangladesh since its independence. Rural land issues continue to remain unresolved, and violence related to land is still on the rise. The investigation of those engaged in these disputes and the dynamics of their relationships, however, has received very little attention. The current study maps those involved in land conflicts and their relational interplay in the context of rural Bangladesh. The study utilizes qualitative method of data collection including KII interviews, focus group discussions, and expert interviews. Through purposive sampling, key informant interviews and focus group discussions involved a group of relevant stakeholders in land conflicts in the study areas who provided needed information, ideas, and insights on land issues in the area. The study finds that the power structure of the village affects benefit distribution and the resolution of land disputes. Local political leaders and "Matbors" have an impact on how disputes are resolved. Law enforcement authorities are ineffective at resolving violent conflicts, and corrupt land office staff are also of no help, prolonging such conflicts. The study suggests holding workshops on empathy-building, digitizing land management, and enhancing the court system to lessen disputes amongst stakeholders in rural Bangladesh.

Sustainability of Corn Farming Systems on Post-Sand Mining Land in Malang, East Java, Indonesia

The sand mining activities leave a wide area ex-sand mining land. In Bambang Village, farmers who live in that area try to get their land back to produce agricultural activities that were used previously for sand mining. However, there are several obstacles to the sustainability of farming in this area, especially the matter of critical land issues, pest and disease attacks, unpredictability of price, and technology used still not optimized suboptimal use of technology. To analyze the sustainability index and the attributes that influence continuity of corn farming on post-mine sand land, a quantitative study was conducted used a five-dimension sustainability approach. This approach included the consist of ecological, economic, social, institutional, and technological dimensions. Data collected by distributing questionnaires to the respondents which are divided into 72 of farmers and five key informants, so that, total of respondents are 77 people. Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) and leverage analysis were used to determine the attributes that influence sustainability. The results of the research show corn farming continuity on post-sand mining land produce a sustainability index for about 54.86%. It is considered quite able to maintain in terms of the economic dimension (62.12%), social dimension (60.82%), and institutional dimension (60.27%). Though, the ecological dimension (46.88%) and technological dimension (44.23%) were classified as weak in terms of sustainability. Additionally, leverage analysis shows about 25 sensitive attributes which is influenced the sustainability of corn farming on post-sand mining land.

Effect of Paitan Compost Fertilizer and Corn Rooting Rhizobakteri on the Growth and Yield of Glutinous Corn (Zea mays L. ceratina)

Glutinous rice corn crops in Java show low productivity despite their potential. Agricultural land issues in Indonesia, such as soil fertility and excessive use of inorganic fertilizers, persist. Tithonia diversifolia plants are utilized for composting to address these concerns. Additionally, corn root microorganisms act as biological fertilizer, enhancing plant growth. This study aims to investigate the interaction between Tithonia compost dosage and corn root Rhizobacteria on glutinous corn growth and yield. Conducted in two locations—laboratory for Rhizobacteria isolates and field for composting and planting—the research employed a Divided Plot Design with 36 treatment combinations. Observations included plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, cob count, cob diameter, cob weight, and cob length. Results indicate interaction effects between Rhizobacteria and compost dosage on leaf area growth at 28 days post-planting. Additionally, there's an impact on stem blight intensity at 42 days post-planting. Rhizobacteria dosage didn't significantly affect plant growth or cob yield parameters. However, paitan compost dosage influenced plant height, stem diameter, and cob count, with the best response seen at 14 tons/ha dosage.

Land Problems and Legal Impact for Agrarian and Spatial Planning Officers

The Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) is a government institution with the authority to carry out duties and functions of public services in agrarian, spatial planning and land. The development of land law issues in society has involved many officials from the Ministry of ATR/BPN as implementers of agrarian and land sector functions. The impact is the emergence of a sense of anxiety and worry felt by the Ministry of ATR/BPN officials when carrying out their duties. It is because if the land administration services provided by the Ministry of ATR/BPN are not thorough and careful, there are many gaps in legal violations, not only administrative and civil but also criminal. If the implementer of agrarian and land functions is a Civil Servant (PNS) and becomes a suspect in a legal case, he will be temporarily dismissed. He will not receive income from the Government Regulation on Civil Servant Management. Therefore, the problem that will be studied in this paper is the legal impact of land problems on the implementers of agrarian functions. This study explores the potential legal risks that implementers of agrarian functions can experience amidst the development of problematic land issues. The method used in this study is qualitative with a normative juridical approach. A normative juridical approach examines the legal rules and regulations that apply to answer legal problems. The results are that the administrative services carried out by the Ministry of ATR/BPN cannot be seen solely as part of administrative law. This is because the administrative services carried out can impact a person's legal ownership/civil status. Existing law enforcement instruments differentiate the judicial process for administrative, civil, and criminal violations.

COMMUNICATION OF PUBLIC POLICY IN HANDLING PROBLEMS OF PTPN II (PERSERO) EX-HGU LAND IN NORTH SUMATRA

This research analyzes how communication between stakeholders is established in implementing policies for handling land issues in the former PTPN II HGU in North Sumatra. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach by tracing related Literature studies. The research results show that the media and communication carried out by the North Sumatra Provincial Government in handling land issues of the former PTPN II HGU is direct communication in the form of socialization and coordination in strategic and technical forms. The communication carried out by the North Sumatra BPN Regional Office is direct in the form of support to the North Sumatra Provincial Government. The BPN Regional Office plays a vital role because regulations related to HGU come from BPN RI. The policy public communication strategy is carried out by increasing the intensity of public policy communication, involving the public in policy-making, and conveying information through the media. Factors influencing policy include openness of information, credibility, and government authority in reducing uncertainty and risk in resolving former PTPN II HGU problems. This research provides insight into alternative policy models for the North Sumatra Provincial Government in handling land conflicts. This research helps to understand the typology of land conflicts handled by BPN RI. This also emphasizes the need to increase legal awareness among the community and overcome systematic acts of provocation that lead to conflicts over land rights in North Sumatra Province.
