The relationship between man and land is one of eternal nature. Meanwhile, in current developments, both central and regional governments continue to promote the development of the public good. Securing land availability is conducted by some activities to obtain land by compensating for the removal of land, buildings, plants, and materials. The implementation of land procurement for the sake of common good continues to present an issue regarding incomes in the form of restitution, where disagreements between the landowners and the governments that need land are carried out. For instance, the toll on the Semarang-Demak project remains to be seen, especially regarding the cost of the farm’s owners from the Semarang coastal areas to Demak Regency.
