Abstract

Land disputes in urban areas are increasingly complex legal issues due to the high 
economic value of land, population growth, and weak land administration. This article aims to 
analyze the factors causing land disputes in urban areas and review the application of agrarian law 
in resolving them. Through a qualitative approach with literature studies and normative legal 
reviews, this article examines the legal aspects, the role of state institutions, and obstacles in 
resolving land disputes. The findings show that land conflicts in urban areas are generally triggered 
by overlapping ownership, document falsification, and physical control without rights. On the 
other hand, the implementation of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) has not been fully effective, 
especially in administrative arrangements and law enforcement. Dispute resolution is often 
hampered by lengthy legal processes, lack of coordination between institutions, and minimal 
protection for low-income communities. Therefore, integrated and participatory law-based 
agrarian reform is needed to create agrarian justice in urban areas.
