Implementation of Social Function in Land Acquisition

摘要

This paper describes the implementation of social function in the acquisition of land as enacted in article 6 of Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA). This research belongs to the type of normative legal research. To examine the problems in this research, we use statutory approach, conceptual approach and case approach. The results show that the principle of social function is often identified with the public interest and this is often misunderstood even in the twisted purpose of the meaning of public interest and social functions and then for the ruler or state organizers in implementing social functions in land acquisition should stick to the philosophical basis of the social principle so that it is in favor of the community as a whole to provide benefits and realize a just and prosperous society. The government's efforts to provide a sense of justice in relation to the acquisition of land for the development of the public interest in which individual land is used as an object of public interest, the government must concern the rights that belong to the landowners.
