Abstract

This paper highlights the land disputes that often occurs in the area of PT. Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) IX Kerjo Arum Batujamus Afdeling Kepoh Sambirejo District Sragen Regency with local residents who are members of the Sambirejo Truth and Justice Concern Forum (Forum Peduli Kebenaran dan Keadilan Sambirejo / FPKKS). Problems arise when local residents cut down a number of rubber trees planted by PTPN IX. According to residents’ opinion, the 424,26 hectares of land in the plantation area is a legacy from the Dutch government which have been given to their families. According to the information of residents’ representatives, the ownership was based on the Decree of the Head of Central Java Regional Agrarian Inspection (Kepala Inspeksi Agraria Daerah Jawa Tengah/ KINAD) No.2971X1172/DC/64 and 3891z/173/72/DC/64 dated January 4, 1964. However, such letter was withdrawn by the village officials at that moment with a pretext to be renewed. Shortly afterwards the political tragedy of 1965 resulted in many citizens being detained and after 3 months of detention they were released. Then evidently the land had been planted with rubber trees by the PTPN IX. Based on such problems, the authors give the title: “Remedy to Settle Land Disputes between the Government and Resident (Case Study in the Land Area of PTPN IX Kerjo Arum, Sambirejo District, Sragen Regency)”. This paper aims to find out various legal aspects in the effort to resolve the land dispute. What are the obstacles that occur in regards with remedy to resolve land disputes and how to overcome them. The legal research method used in writing this paper is Empirical Normative with a case study approach. The results obtained is validity period of Cultivation Rights of the PTPN IX was allegedly expired, while the residents have been working on the land for years. The proposed method of dispute settlement was to establish a special court for land disputes involving the ad-hoc judge, therefore in handling cases of land disputes can be specifically conditioned. In addition, the mediation step is a more appropriate solution to resolve disputes. Some obstacles that occur are on the one hand the problem of not renewing the status of the Cultivation Rights (HGU) of PTPN IX Kerjo Arum and on the other hand there is no legal certainty in the form of the issuance of Certificate of Ownership for the members of society who claim the land rights.
