Arrangements and Stages of Implementation of Land Acquisition for Development for Public Interests

Abstract

From a formal legal perspective, the term land expropriation is recognized for the first time since Presidential Decree (Keppres) No.55 of 1993 on the acquisition of land for public interest development. This follows from Home Secretary's Order No. 15 of 1975 on the Procedural Regulations for the Liberation of Land (PMDN) which used the term "Land Liberation". With the entry into force of Law No. 2 of 2012, the term "land acquisition" is used. Several presidential decrees (Perpres) were issued to implement the Land Acquisition Act. Therefore, in order to understand in depth about the issue of land acquisition, it is necessary to explain how the arrangements and stages of land acquisition for the implementation of development in the public interest are necessary.
