Indonesia is ranked 4th as the country with the largest population in the world. As a result, land needs continue to increase, both as a place of residence, place of business and agricultural land. The problem at the moment is how to control the ownership and ownership structure of the land. The balance between the private sector and the interests of the community or individuals can be maintained. Following the mandate of the constitution and the mandate of the 1998 reform, land use must return to defend the people's economy. But why is the paradox of land tenure and ownership still happening today? This study aims to analyze land ownership based on people's economy according to land law in Indonesia. This study used a normative juridical method with a legal statement approach, a historical approach, a political law approach to land law, and an economic approach. The results of this study are policies on the control and ownership of land rights that have responded to the demands for reform, namely the welfare of the nation's children, which is regulated in the 1999 National Guidance and Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number IX Year 2001 Presidential Decree Number 34 the Year 2003. It's just that the implementation has not been followed up because political dynamics at the time so that the opportunity and equality to obtain fundamental land rights for someone in developing a people's economy had not yet moved. Because agrarian reform regulated by Government Regulation Number 68, the Year 2019 has not been followed up.
ON LAND (WEALTH) DISTRIBUTION: A CULTURAL APPROACH TO JUSTICE IN INDONESIA
Indonesia LAW REVIEW, 2010
This article reexamines the Indonesian land distribution policy in light of Pancasila, the five core values of the Indonesian constitution. Furthermore, the article also analyzes social problems in Indonesia from the legal and cultural point of view. Inspired by Javanese shadow puppet plays and Pancasila values, analysis shows that that land distribution policy in Indonesia does not support the goal of the country. The policy does not adhere to Pancasila values and the cultural values adopted by the Indonesian people. Hence I will try to give a recommendation for better regulation in land distribution. Evidences will be given to support the revision of land distribution policy in Indonesia by involving the academics through their researches and legal knowledge. This paper will also prove how doing so would resolve a lot of problems as poverty, unemployment matters, and social gaps; therefore social-economic justice can be promoted in accordance with the goals of the country.

Indonesian land law is an independent law. Based on the 2010 Badan Pusat Statistik census, Indonesia has recorded 1340 ethnic groups. With this number of diversity, Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1960 (UUPA) explains that customary law is the original legal source of land law in Indonesia. However, UUPA provides further understanding that customary law is adjusted to the awareness and legal situation of the wider community.

The challenges in regulating ownership of land rights consist of two challenges, namely challenges at the internal level from the government and external challenges from the government. The internal challenges from the government are the tr...
