Hizkia Pratiwi — 2026-08-07

This study examines the implementation of the principle of legal certainty in land acquisition for the Karian Dam by the National Land Agency of Lebak Regency and identifies the obstacles encountered in practice. An empirical juridical method with a descriptive-analytical approach was employed. Primary data were obtained through interviews and field observations, while secondary data were drawn from legislation, books, scholarly articles, and relevant documents. The findings reveal that the land acquisition stages have generally been implemented pursuant to Law Number 2 of 2012 and its implementing regulations, including inventory and identification, valuation, deliberation, compensation, and court deposit mechanisms. Nevertheless, factual legal certainty has not been fully achieved because inconsistencies in land administration records, ownership disputes, differing perceptions of compensation values, and delays in payment remain. Stronger land-data validation, greater transparency in valuation, predictable payment schedules, and improved inter-agency coordination are required to strengthen the legal protection of affected communities.

This study analyzes the implementation of the duties of the Serang City Transportation Agency in managing railway level crossings under Serang Mayor Regulation Number 17 of 2017 and identifies the constraints encountered in practice. The study applies an empirical juridical method with a descriptive-analytical specification. The findings show that the agency has carried out supervision, operational control, traffic engineering, crossing-guard management, installation of traffic signs, gradual improvement of safety facilities, safety outreach, and coordination with railway-related institutions. Implementation remains suboptimal because several crossings still rely on manual barriers and non-permanent guard posts, while budget and human-resource limitations, complex intergovernmental coordination, and low compliance among some road users persist. From the perspective of authority theory, the Transportation Agency has a legal basis for performing transport-safety functions. From a welfare-state perspective, public safety protection still requires stronger facility modernization, staff capacity, inter-agency coordination, and direct community education.
