The Problem of The Conversion of Agricultural Land to Housing in The District of Tegal

The problem is how to regulate the transfer of agricultural land to housing in Tegal Regency, and how the legal problems arise from the existence of these provisions, as well as how to solve these problems. This type of research is a normative legal research with a normative juridical approach (law approach) with descriptive-prescriptive characteristics sourced from primary legal materials and secondary legal materials obtained by studying the documentation of legislation and legal science literature studies, then analyzed with legal analysis. The government's efforts to maintain the function of agricultural land in Tegal Regency are in fact not optimal. This can be seen from the government's actions to let the community shift the function of agricultural land to non-agricultural which is not in accordance with the feasibility study; land conversion plan; Mechanisms for freeing ownership of land rights, and the availability of substitute land for sustainable food agricultural land. The problems in maintaining the existence of agricultural land are: the growing population; increase in land prices so that farmers are interested in selling their land; Many rice fields in Tegal Regency are close to residential/residential houses; land productivity because the land/rice field is productive only when it rains; increasing industry in Tegal Regency.
