Various factors, including multiple certificates, can cause land disputes. This research uses normative methods to approach legal norms and relevant legal substance. Enacted in 1960, the UUPA is Indonesia's primary legal basis governing land rights. The results show that although there are regulations governing land registration and owners' rights, the legal protection provided to holders of property rights certificates still needs to be improved. Title certificates, which are supposed to be strong evidence, often do not give the expected legal certainty, especially when disputes arise. Land rights holders are expected to receive strong legal protection. The research identified that the community's lack of understanding of their rights and the applicable legal procedures exacerbated the situation. The research also emphasizes the need for reforms in the land law system, including increased socialization of land rights to the public and improvements in land registration procedures.</p> Ayu Anggi Anggreyni Simbolon Copyright (c) 2024 Ayu Anggi Anggreyni Simbolon https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2024-07-08 2024-07-08 2 02 59 68 10.22437/communale.v2i02.37873 https://online-journal.unja.ac.id/communale/article/view/37875 <p>Land grabbing is a severe problem because it is typical for someone or a group to take over or grab other people's land and claim it as their own. If preventive legal action is not immediately taken, this can threaten the community's rights and sustainable development in Indonesia. This journal looks at the criminal law enforcement strategy in combating the crime of land grabbing by referring to Article 385 of the Criminal Code. The research method used in this journal is the normative juridical analysis research method, which, in this case, observes the effect of existing laws and how challenges arise in their application in society. The study results have shown that the legal regulation needs to be considered adequate to answer Indonesia's land-grabbing problem. The verdict in the case of criminal land grabbing cannot be used to execute the disputed land because the criminal verdict is intended to punish the perpetrator of land grabbing. Meanwhile, a separate court, namely the civil court, must be established to restore victims' rights.</p> Cindy Aulia Putri Copyright (c) 2024 Cindy Aulia Putri https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-07-08 2024-07-08 2 02 69 76 10.22437/communale.v2i02.37875 https://online-journal.unja.ac.id/communale/article/view/37862 <p>This research aims to determine the validity of ownership rights to land by foreign citizens (WNA) through nominee agreements. A Nominee Agreement, commonly known as a name transfer or name borrowing agreement, is an agreement made on behalf of another party. The practice of nominee agreements still often occurs, even though foreigners do not have ownership rights by what is regulated in statutory regulations. Foreigners did this to control ownership rights to land in Indonesia and gain personal gain. No specific regulations govern nominee agreements, so law enforcement is not optimal. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and case approach. The research results show that the nominee agreement entered into by foreigners is invalid because it needs to meet the objective elements of the requirements, namely lawful reasons that are already regulated in Article 1320 in the Civil Code.</p> Eka Wulandari Copyright (c) 2024 Eka Wulandari https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-07-08 2024-07-08 2 02 77 85 10.22437/communale.v2i02.37862
