The Role of Technology in Reducing Land Mafia Activities in the Digital Era

Abstract

Land mafia activities have become a serious problem in many countries, including Indonesia, threatening the security of land ownership and socio-economic stability. In the digital era, technology is key in efforts to reduce this illegal practice. By utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS), blockchain technology, and integrated land information systems, transparency, accuracy, and efficiency of land management can be improved. Despite facing challenges such as uneven infrastructure and resistance to change, strategic steps such as improving technological infrastructure, education, strengthening cyber security, and collaboration with the private sector can help overcome these obstacles. By implementing optimal technology, it is hoped that land mafia activities can be suppressed, provide legal certainty for land owners, and support sustainable development.
