LEGAL ENFORCEMENT OF LAND FUNCTION CONVERSION (CASE STUDY IN KUNINGAN DISTRICT)

Abstract

Kuningan District has enacted the Regional Regulation of the RTRW which is a guideline in establishing the Long Term Development Plan (RPJP) and the Medium Term Development Plan (RPJM), with the main objective of supporting Kuningan as an Agriculture and Tourism-based Conservation District. However, at the level of policy implementation, there is a tendency for violations of land use change. The issues discussed are how to implement law enforcement against violations of land use change, and what factors influence the law enforcement process. This research is non-doctrinal research methods with a socio-legal approach. The results of the study explain that the law on spatial planning and regional regulations concerning the RTRW has regulated the law enforcement mechanism both with administrative sanctions, civil sanctions and criminal sanctions. It's just that the sanctions that have been formulated in the law, the implementation is not optimal. Some factors that influence are economic, political and cultural factors. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out the reconstruction of regional policies in the spatial sector so that regulations and law enforcement can function optimally.
