| dc.description.abstract | The issue that will be discussed in this paper are problems causing disputes/conflicts over land acquisition
toward development for the public interest. To address those problems, document and literature search as well as
literature review are employed, including the cases of land acquisition that have occurred to be analyzed descriptively to
achieve resolution to the problems. The results showed that land acquisition is closely related to eviction, land purchase,
compensation, repressive actions of the apparatus, public reluctance to move from the acquired land, and public refusal
towards the form and amount of the compensation. The problems due to land acquisition that provokes disputes/conflicts
arise from three sources: a substance (in terms of regulations, or biased meaning of public interest), structure (the roles
of officials/institutions related to land acquisition), and public. Regarding the fact that the existence of disputes/conflicts
over land acquisition is frequently related to the issue of justice and public welfare, therefore, attention and efforts are
practically needed to achieve justice and welfare, especially for those whose lands are acquired without ignoring the
aspect of legal certainty as a characteristic of state law | en_US |
