Abstract

Land acquisition for public purposes is an important instrument in national development that often raises issues, particularly regarding the protection of the rights of affected communities. One crucial aspect that is often questioned is the implementation of public consultation. Normatively, Law No. 2 of 2012 on Land Acquisition for Development for Public Purposes and its implementing regulations have regulated the mechanism for public consultation. However, practices in the field show the dominance of government actors without balanced participation from civil society, resulting in procedural injustice and potential agrarian conflicts. This indicates the need to reconceptualise the repositioning of public consultation as an instrument of democratisation in the land acquisition process. This study departs from two problem formulations, namely: (1) how public consultation is regulated in land acquisition for public interests in Indonesia; and (2) how the reconceptualisation of the repositioning of public consultation can strengthen land acquisition for public interests. Meanwhile, the research method used is normative legal research, with a legislative, conceptual, and comparative approach. The results of this study show that, first, the current regulation of public consultation is still administrative-formal in nature and does not guarantee the substantive involvement of the community. Second, public consultation as regulated in Law 2/2012 and its derivatives has not been able to be implemented de facto.
