Land Mafia, Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), Eradication Efforts Against the Land MafiaAbstract
The land mafia in Indonesia is a complex phenomenon that harms society and has the
potential to disrupt social stability. This research aims to analyze the practices of land
mafia that occur in Indonesia and evaluate the eradication efforts by the Ministry of
Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN). Land mafia
practices include certificate forgery, illegal land occupation, and document
manipulation that threaten the ownership rights of the community. This research uses
normative legal research methods, which involve the process of finding legal rules,
principles, and legal doctrines to answer the legal issues at hand. Furthermore, this
research also examines the policies and strategic steps taken by the ATR/BPN in
combating the land mafia, including the establishment of the Anti-Land Mafia Task
Force and the strengthening of land regulations. The results indicate that despite
various eradication efforts, challenges in law enforcement and inter-agency
coordination remain obstacles. Therefore, better synergy between the government,
society, and the private sector is necessary to create a transparent and accountable land
system. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more effective
policies in eradicating the land mafia in Indonesia and reinforcing legal protection for
the community.
