Ensuring Legal Certainty of Land Through Effective Registration Processes

Abstract

Land registration is a vital component in the land system that ensures legal certainty and protection of land rights. This research aims to evaluate how effective land registration can address issues of legal certainty and protection of landowners' rights. This research uses a qualitative approach to examine the land registration process, including stages such as data collection, verification, announcement, and certificate issuance. Data was collected through document studies supported by case studies. The results show that implementing transparent, accountable, and information technology-based land registration can reduce land disputes and increase legal certainty. The need for training for officers, active community participation, and simple procedures are crucial to realizing an effective land registration system. The study concludes that the effectiveness of land registration depends not only on administrative procedures but also on the commitment to apply the principles of transparency and fairness.
