Abstract
Housing relocation due to natural disasters is one of the realization of disaster mitigation by resettling the disaster victims to a new and safer area. The implementation of relocation must prioritize the interests and needs of the affected society. Besides, the land acquisition of the new housing must be secured in terms of its legal certainty. This study aimed to analyse the policy of the Regional Government of Karanganyar Regency in establishing housing relocation for the disaster victims in Menjing village, Jenawi sub-district, Karanganyar regency. This study was conducted by using a juridical empirical approach. The results suggest that the policy taken by the Regional Government of Karanganyar Regency in implementing the relocation referred to Law No. 24/2007 on Disaster Mitigation in which the relocation process was carried out through a discussion involving the Regional and Village Government as well as the society. The relocation also considered different aspects such as socio-culture, economy, ecology, and effectiveness, so it was not merely based on the technical aspect. The relocation area in Menjing village originally belonged to the Village Government, known as plots of land (bengkok) with a right of use.
