Creative Legal Insights: Constructing Land Ownership in Sembulang Village

Abstract

Land stands as a valuable asset with significant economic and social implications. In Indonesia, land registration is governed by the Basic Agrarian Law No. 5 of 1960, which has undergone several amendments and is complemented by more specific implementing regulations. However, the lack of understanding among the residents of Sembulang Village regarding the benefits and processes of land registration poses a challenge that needs to be addressed, requiring a concerted effort to enlighten the community. Therefore, a community service program (PkM) in Sembulang Village is deemed necessary. The methods employed to realize this initiative involve Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and field observations. The selection of these methods is aimed at providing a deeper knowledge and understanding to the residents of Sembulang Village regarding their lack of comprehension about the land registration process. The outcome of this legal education initiative is reflected in the heightened understanding of the community concerning the benefits and steps involved in land registration.
