Reclaimed Land in Relation to Land Acquisition for Development in The Public Interest (Law Number 2 of 2012)

This research reveals the relationship between coastal reclamation and national land law especially in Jakarta Provincial Government; whether or not the need to re-arrange the provisions of coastal reclamation in a generally accepted provision that is intersectoral and integrated in nature; the type of land rights granted by the competent authority to the land reclaimed by the beach. The research was carried out through field research as a primary data source, supported by library research which included existing coastal reclamation provisions and several other supporting literature as secondary data sources, with qualitative methods. Reclamation can be classified as land acquisition activities based on the Basic Agrarian Law. The legal basis for reclamation is contained in regulations that vary from region to region. Reclamation is a multi-dimensional activity, because reclamation is not only related to land issues but also relates to issues of forestry, the environment, maritime affairs including fishermen and urban population settlements. Reclamation is an efficient means of land acquisition, especially in the face of population growth and land issues in urban areas.
