MECHANISM OF LAND BOUNDARY ARRANGEMENT AS AN EFFORT TO REALIZE CERTAINTY OF LAND RIGHTS

Objective: Based on these conditions, this research examines two research questions, namely the mechanism of land boundary arrangement in realizing certainty of land rights and the factors affecting its implementation. Method: This research uses an empirical juridical legal research method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Data were obtained through literature studies of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, supported by interviews with informants at the Tabanan Regency Land Office. All data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively by relating empirical facts to statutory regulations, legal theories, and expert opinions. Results: The results show that the land boundary arrangement mechanism is carried out through the stages of fulfilling administrative requirements, installing boundary markers, determining boundaries based on the contradictoire delimitatie principle, measurement, and mapping as the basis for land registration and the issuance of land rights certificates. The implementation of land boundary arrangement plays an important role in providing certainty regarding the location, area, and boundaries of land parcels, thereby preventing land disputes and providing legal certainty to land rights holders. Factors affecting its implementation include legal factors, the competence of land officials, facilities and infrastructure, inter-agency coordination, and community participation and legal awareness. The common obstacles encountered include the absence of boundary markers, the absence of adjoining landowners, and the lack of agreement regarding land boundaries. Novelty: The implementation of land boundary arrangement plays an important role in providing certainty regarding the location, area, and boundaries of land parcels, thereby preventing land disputes and providing legal certainty to land rights holders.
