Abstract

This study aims to rigorously analyze the application of Law No. 26 of 2007 on Spatial Planning in ensuring legal certainty for land rights in Indonesia. This study employs normative legal research methodologies, using both a legislative and a conceptual approach, concentrating on the investigation of positive legal norms and the disharmony between the Spatial Planning Law and the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA). The study's findings indicate that the enactment of Law No. 26 of 2007 continues to exhibit several normative deficiencies, including the lack of alignment between the regional spatial plan (RTRW) and the land administration system, the absence of a compensation mechanism for spatial restrictions, and inadequate sanctions for officials who contravene spatial planning regulations. The lack of connection between geographical data and land data further intensifies legal ambiguity for rightful proprietors. This study's conclusion underscores the need to amend the Spatial Planning Law to enhance legal certainty, safeguard residents' civil rights to land, and ensure equitable, transparent, and responsible spatial planning.
