Mohamed Elnakep, Shalabi Elgeidi, Paolo Branca — Mon, 26 May 2025 08:04:39 +0700

Reform is a call for renewal and modernity, therefore. Much study and refutation were attributed to it, in comparison with others, it always needs to be set and defined, that’s not for its difficulty but it’s connected to its concept with the ideologies of its advocates and their projection of its connotations and meanings on the contents of their projects and visions. For this reason, there was a dilemma among the advocates of reform in defining this concept accurately, this dilemma has dimensions that made it more obvious, by shedding light on the Ideology of reform and historical criticism of “Muḥammad ʻAbduh, Aḥmad Amīn, and Sayyid Quṭb”, we will find that their visions were for the aim of reform, the research has focused on three great thinkers with different ideologies, it started with Muḥammad ʻAbduh, one of the most prominent reformers and advocates of reform in the modern age, He contributed in liberating the Arab mind from its stagnation which inflicted it for centuries and awaken the nation’s culture awareness, reviving the Ijtihad in the intellectual and cultural aspects. Then, Aḥmad Amīn who started his journey through research and exploration of the historical, religious, and intellectual life of the Arabs, produced several historical writings that reflect his ideology in the field of reform and historical criticism. Finally, Sayyid Quṭb wrote many books, treatises, and articles that were reformist writings in various fields, including the historical field.

Abstrak

Pemberlakuan Bea Perolehan Hak Atas Tanah dan Bangunan (BPHTB) terhadap hibah wasiat bertujuan mengoptimalkan pendapatan daerah sekaligus menjamin pengalihan hak milik yang terstruktur dan sah. Namun, dalam pelaksanaannya, terdapat berbagai tantangan terkait kepatuhan wajib pajak dan kepastian hukum. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis empiris dengan pendekatan observasional untuk mengkaji penerapan BPHTB pada hibah wasiat. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui pengamatan langsung dan dilengkapi bahan hukum sekunder untuk menganalisis konsistensi regulasi serta efektivitas penegakan. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengevaluasi efektivitas pengenaan BPHTB dan mengidentifikasi kendala pelaksanaannya. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa penegakan BPHTB belum efektif akibat kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat, mekanisme penegakan yang tidak konsisten, dan disparitas regional dalam penentuan pajak. Selain itu, inefisiensi birokrasi dan kompleksitas administrasi menurunkan kepatuhan wajib pajak. Dari perspektif kepastian hukum, ketidakkonsistenan peraturan pemerintah daerah dan tidak adanya ketentuan hukum seragam menimbulkan ambiguitas, berujung pada ketidakpastian bagi wajib pajak. Oleh karena itu, memperkuat kejelasan aturan dan memastikan penerapan yang seragam sangat penting untuk meningkatkan efektivitas BPHTB serta kepastian hukum dalam hibah wasiat.

Abstract

The imposition of the Land and Building Acquisition Duty (BPHTB) on bequest grants aims to optimize regional revenue while ensuring a structured and lawful transfer of ownership rights. However, its implementation faces various challenges, particularly concerning taxpayer compliance and legal certainty. This study employs an empirical juridical method with an observational approach to examine the practical application of BPHTB on bequest grants. Primary data were collected through direct observation, complemented by secondary legal materials to analyze regulatory consistency and enforcement effectiveness. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of BPHTB imposition and identify obstacles hindering its implementation. Results indicate that BPHTB enforcement remains ineffective due to low public awareness, inconsistent enforcement mechanisms, and regional disparities in tax determination. Additionally, bureaucratic inefficiencies and administrative complexities reduce taxpayer compliance. From a legal certainty perspective, inconsistencies in regional government regulations and the absence of uniform legal provisions create ambiguity, leading to uncertainty among taxpayers. Strengthening regulatory clarity and ensuring uniform application are crucial to enhancing BPHTB effectiveness and legal certainty in bequest grants.

Abstrak

The Independent Curriculum, as one of the government's efforts to improve the quality of education in Indonesia, is expected to produce a generation that is innovative and adaptable to the changing times. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the Independent Curriculum in shaping an innovative generation in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, this research involves teachers, students, and school principals as informants. The findings indicate that the Independent Curriculum holds significant potential in shaping an innovative generation.

Abstrak

Undang-Undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2014 tentang Jabatan Notaris mengatur kewajiban notaris untuk memberikan layanan pembuatan akta autentik secara cuma-cuma kepada masyarakat tidak mampu. Namun, implementasi ketentuan ini masih menghadapi berbagai kendala dalam praktiknya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis empiris dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan serta wawancara dengan notaris dan tokoh masyarakat di Kabupaten Lombok Utara. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi efektivitas penerapan Pasal 37 Ayat (1) UU Jabatan Notaris. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi sejauh mana aturan ini diterapkan dan hambatan yang dihadapi dalam pelaksanaannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun notaris memahami kewajiban tersebut, implementasi masih terbatas karena kurangnya kepastian hukum mengenai kriteria penerima layanan serta minimnya pengawasan dan fasilitas pendukung. Selain itu, rendahnya pemahaman masyarakat mengenai hak mereka terhadap layanan cuma-cuma ini juga menjadi kendala utama. Kesimpulannya, diperlukan perbaikan regulasi, penguatan pengawasan, serta edukasi hukum kepada masyarakat agar aturan ini dapat diterapkan secara lebih efektif.

Abstract

Law Number 2 of 2014 on the Notary Position regulates the obligation of notaries to provide free notarial services for the underprivileged. However, the implementation of this provision still faces various challenges in practice. This study uses an empirical juridical method with a legislative approach and interviews with notaries and community leaders in North Lombok Regency. The data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively to identify the factors influencing the effectiveness of implementing Article 37, Paragraph (1) of the Notary Position Law. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which this regulation is implemented and the obstacles encountered in its execution. The findings show that, although notaries understand this obligation, the implementation is still limited due to the lack of legal certainty regarding the criteria for recipients of the service and insufficient supervision and supporting facilities. Additionally, the low public understanding of their rights to this free service also becomes a major barrier. In conclusion, regulatory improvement, strengthened supervision, and legal education for the public are necessary to enable more effective implementation of this provision.

Ratio Legis Phrase "Mandatory" in Government Regulation on Land Deed Making Officer As Protocol Recipient

Rizki Diaswari Laila Arianti, Abdul Rachmad Budiono, Mohammad Hamidi Masykur — Mon, 26 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The phrase “obligatory” in the government regulation regarding the Land Deed Official as the recipient of the protocol has significant legal implications in determining the nature of his/her obligations. The ratio legis of this phrase is important to assess whether the obligation is absolute or conditional, which affects legal certainty and uniformity of its application. This study uses a normative legal method, namely analyzing legal norms through the interpretation of relevant laws, regulations, and legal doctrines. This study relies on primary legal materials, including laws and government regulations; secondary legal materials, such as legal commentaries and scientific articles; and tertiary legal materials, including legal dictionaries and encyclopedias. Data collection was carried out through a literature study, which ensured a comprehensive examination of legal texts and academic discussions. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which the term “obligatory” imposes binding duties on the Land Deed Official in receiving and managing the protocol. The research findings indicate that the phrase “obligatory” reflects an imperative legal obligation based on the theory of legal positivism, which prioritizes compliance with written legal norms. However, from the perspective of the theory of legal certainty (Rechtszekerheid), the regulation is less clear in defining the procedural mechanism, resulting in inconsistent application among Land Deed Officials. This ambiguity poses challenges in enforcing uniform practices, potentially undermining the effectiveness of the regulation.

Ministry of Land Responsibility For Mortgage Rights on Certificates Burdened by Land And Building Duty

Ana Amaliah, Rachmat Safa’at, Istislam Istislam — Mon, 26 May 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study discusses the responsibility of the Ministry of Land Affairs in issuing Mortgage Rights for land certificates that are still subject to Land and Building Acquisition Fees. This study uses an empirical method. Data were obtained through analysis and primary data from interviews with the Land Office, creditors, and local governments, secondary data from laws and regulations, and tertiary data from literature and related legal documents. The results of the study indicate that verification of Land and Building Acquisition Fee payments before the issuance of Mortgage Right certificates is still not optimal due to the coordination agreement between the Land Office and local governments. In addition, a weak data integration system and low public awareness of the obligation to pay Land and Building Acquisition Fees also contribute to this problem. As a result, there is a risk for creditors in executing collateral and obstacles for debtors in the process of transferring land rights.

Implementation Imposition of Land and Building Acquisition Tax in Sales and Purchase Agreements

Annisa Salshabila, Herlindah, Hariyanto Susilo — Tue, 27 May 2025 18:22:35 +0700

Abstrak

Pemungutan Pajak Perolehan Hak Atas Tanah dan Bangunan (BPHTB) pada tahap Perjanjian Pengikatan Jual Beli (PPJB) dalam transaksi properti di Indonesia menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum dan dampak ekonomi yang signifikan. Ketidakpastian ini muncul karena PPJB merupakan perjanjian pendahuluan yang belum mengalihkan hak milik secara resmi, sehingga menimbulkan potensi pajak berganda dan beban finansial berlebih bagi pembeli. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kepastian hukum dan dampak ekonomi penerapan BPHTB pada tahap PPJB dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum empiris. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dengan notaris, praktisi hukum, pejabat pajak, serta studi kasus transaksi properti terkait. Observasi lapangan juga dilakukan untuk meninjau perbedaan penafsiran dan penegakan peraturan BPHTB oleh pemerintah daerah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya ketidakpastian hukum dan persepsi ketidakadilan di kalangan pemangku kepentingan akibat penerapan BPHTB yang bervariasi antar daerah. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan standar kebijakan perpajakan yang jelas dan transparan agar BPHTB hanya dikenakan pada saat pengalihan hak milik yang sah secara hukum.

Abstract

The imposition of Land and Building Acquisition Duty (BPHTB) during the Sale and Purchase Binding Agreement (PPJB) stage in property transactions in Indonesia causes significant legal uncertainty and economic impact. This uncertainty arises because PPJB is a preliminary agreement that does not officially transfer ownership rights, leading to potential double taxation and excessive financial burden for buyers. This study aims to analyze the legal certainty and economic impact of BPHTB application at the PPJB stage using an empirical legal research method. Data were collected through interviews with notaries, legal practitioners, tax officials, and case studies of related property transactions. Field observations were also conducted to review differences in interpretation and enforcement of BPHTB regulations by regional governments. The findings reveal legal uncertainty and perceptions of injustice among stakeholders due to the varied application of BPHTB across regions. Therefore, a clear and transparent tax policy standard is needed to ensure BPHTB is only imposed upon legally valid ownership transfer.

Siti Wahyuni Laadiy, Hanif Nur Widhiyanti , Amelia Sri Kusuma Dewi — Tue, 27 May 2025 18:30:04 +0700

Abstrak
Penelitian ini membahas makna hukum dari hubungan perdata antara anak luar kawin dengan ayah dan keluarga ayahnya dalam konteks hukum waris di Indonesia. Tujuan utama penelitian adalah untuk mengkaji interpretasi normatif atas frasa “hubungan perdata dengan ayah dan keluarga ayahnya” sebagaimana tercantum dalam Pasal 43 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Perkawinan, setelah Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 46/PUU-VIII/2010, serta menganalisis implikasinya terhadap praktik peradilan, khususnya dalam pemberian hak waris. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual dan studi kasus terhadap putusan-putusan pengadilan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya disparitas putusan hakim yang menggambarkan ketidakkonsistenan dalam penerapan putusan MK, yang berdampak pada ketidakpastian hukum bagi anak luar kawin. Ketidakhadiran norma harmonisasi dan pedoman interpretatif memperparah perbedaan penafsiran antar sistem hukum (perdata, Islam, dan adat). Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dengan menawarkan analisis yuridis terhadap frasa kunci tersebut dan menekankan pentingnya perumusan norma implementatif yang terintegrasi untuk menjamin perlindungan hukum dan kesetaraan hak anak tanpa diskriminasi berdasarkan status kelahiran.

Abstract

This study examines the legal meaning of civil relations between out-of-wedlock children and their biological father and the father's family within the context of inheritance law in Indonesia. The main objective is to analyze the normative interpretation of the phrase “civil relationship with the father and his father's family” as stated in Article 43 paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law following Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010, and to assess its implications in judicial practice, particularly in the granting of inheritance rights. This normative juridical research employs a conceptual and case-based approach by reviewing relevant court decisions. The findings indicate disparities in judicial rulings, revealing inconsistencies in the implementation of the Constitutional Court’s mandate, which contribute to legal uncertainty for out-of-wedlock children. The absence of harmonizing norms and interpretative guidelines exacerbates the divergence in legal interpretations among civil, Islamic, and customary law systems. This research contributes by offering a legal analysis of the key phrase and emphasizes the urgency of formulating integrated implementative norms to ensure legal protection and equal rights for all children, regardless of birth status.

Keywords: Inheritance Law, Civil Relations, Unmarried Children, Legal Reform, Constitutional Court

Analysis of Culture Shock in Cross-Cultural Communication of Local and Immortal Students in The Faculty of Social Sciences, State Islamic University of North Sumatra

Muhammad Raihan Riza, Yusniah — Tue, 27 May 2025 18:31:11 +0700

communication between local and immigrant students at the Faculty of Social Sciences, State Islamic University of North Sumatra. Using the theory of intercultural communication and the concept of culture shock from Oberg, this study applies a qualitative ethnographic approach with a constructivist paradigm. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and validated using source triangulation. The results of the study indicate that local students have difficulty understanding the accent and regional terms of immigrant students, while immigrant students face discomfort in communicating and feelings of inferiority in initial interactions. Through involvement in campus organizations and academic activities, immigrant students successfully adapt, while local students show an attitude of openness to cultural diversity. The conclusion of the study confirms that cross-cultural interactions on campus show developments towards more inclusive social relations, although institutional efforts are still needed to systematically strengthen cross-cultural programs in order to optimize the social integration of students from various backgrounds.

Legal Protection for Notaries in Implementing the Principle of Recognizing Service Users in the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Crime

Riska Salmaningrum, Abdul Madjid , Dyah Aju Wisnuwardhani — Tue, 27 May 2025 18:34:22 +0700

This research discusses the normative conflict between the obligation of notaries to maintain the confidentiality of client information as stipulated in the Notary Position Law (UUJN) with the obligation to report suspicious transactions to PPATK as stipulated in Permenkumham No. 9 of 2017 concerning the Implementation of the Principle of Recognizing Service Users (PMPJ). This study aims to identify the appropriate form of legal protection for notaries in carrying out these obligations, and analyze whether there is a conflict of norms between Permenkumham No. 9 of 2017 and UUJN. Using a normative juridical approach with statutory, conceptual, and case approach methods, this research finds that notaries are in a legally dilemmatic position. On the one hand, the Permenkumham requires the reporting of suspicious financial transactions as a form of participation in the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing. On the other hand, UUJN explicitly requires notaries to maintain the confidentiality of deeds and client information, even threatening criminal and administrative sanctions if the obligation is violated. Provisions in Permenkumham that do not have an explicit basis in the law cause legal uncertainty. Therefore, harmonization between the PPTPPU Law, Permenkumham No. 9/2017, and UUJN is needed so that the reporting obligation by notaries does not violate the principle of official secrecy. This research also recommends strengthening preventive and repressive legal protection, as well as training and technical guidance for notaries so that they can carry out reporting obligations professionally without compromising their professional integrity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of WhatsApp social media in farmer group communication in Wonosari Village, Tanjung Morawa District, North Sumatra. In the digital era, the use of new media has changed the way we communicate, including in the agricultural sector. Farmer groups as agrarian-based communities have begun to use WhatsApp to coordinate, share agricultural information, and facilitate communication with Field Agricultural Extension Workers (PPL). This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, observations, and literature review methods. The results show that WhatsApp provides significant effectiveness in farmer group communication, especially in faster information dissemination, more efficient coordination, and increased member engagement. However, there are obstacles in the adoption of technology, especially for members of farmer groups who are older and less familiar with digital media. In addition, another challenge is the spread of less relevant content in WhatsApp groups. To overcome these obstacles, training in the use of social media for members who are not used to it is needed as well as more systematic group management, with support from the government and PPL. This study provides insight into the changes in communication behavior in the agricultural sector due to the adoption of new technologies and their implications in the development of farmer groups in the digital era.

Justice Perspective on Land and Building Acquisition Duty Under Government Regulation No. 35/2023

Hamed Prayantama, Tunggul Anshari, Sigit Nur Rachmat — Wed, 28 May 2025 11:39:28 +0700

Abstrak

Penelitian ini mengkaji perspektif keadilan dalam penarikan Bea Perolehan Hak atas Tanah dan Bangunan (BPHTB) berdasarkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 35 Tahun 2023 tentang Ketentuan Umum Pajak Daerah dan Retribusi Daerah. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya ketidakadilan dalam Pasal 18 ayat (2) huruf a, yang mewajibkan pembayaran BPHTB pada saat pembuatan Perjanjian Pengikatan Jual Beli (PPJB) yang bersifat notariil, berbeda dengan ketentuan sebelumnya yang mewajibkan pembayaran pada saat pembuatan Akta Jual Beli (AJB) oleh Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah (PPAT). Ketentuan tersebut menimbulkan permasalahan karena PPJB bukan merupakan alat bukti peralihan hak milik yang sah, serta bertentangan dengan asas “tunai dan terang” sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1960 tentang Peraturan Dasar Pokok-Pokok Agraria. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjawab dua rumusan masalah: (1) Apakah ketentuan pembayaran BPHTB saat pembuatan PPJB telah memenuhi prinsip keadilan? dan (2) Apa implikasi yuridis dari pelaksanaan Pasal 18 ayat (2) huruf a PP No. 35 Tahun 2023? Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan historis dan konseptual. Bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier dianalisis secara kualitatif yuridis melalui teknik interpretasi sistematis, gramatikal, dan teleologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya disharmonisasi norma antara PP No. 35 Tahun 2023 dan UUPA, khususnya dalam hal waktu dan dasar hukum penarikan BPHTB. Kewajiban pembayaran BPHTB pada tahap PPJB menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum dan ketidakadilan, terutama bagi pihak yang belum melakukan peralihan hak secara sah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa ketentuan tersebut belum mencerminkan prinsip keadilan dan merekomendasikan revisi regulasi agar sejalan dengan ketentuan hukum peralihan hak yang berlaku.

Abstract

This study investigates the justice perspective in the imposition of the Acquisition Duty on Land and Building Rights (BPHTB) based on Government Regulation No. 35 of 2023 concerning General Provisions on Regional Taxes and Levies. The research is prompted by a perceived injustice in Article 18 paragraph (2)(a) of the regulation, which requires BPHTB to be paid at the time of executing a notarial binding sale and purchase agreement (PPJB), diverging from the previous practice where BPHTB was due upon the execution of the sale and purchase deed (AJB) by a land deed official (PPAT). This shift is problematic because a PPJB does not constitute legal transfer of ownership and contradicts the principle of cash and clear transaction enshrined in Law No. 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles. The study seeks to answer two main questions: (1) Does the requirement to pay BPHTB at the time of PPJB fulfill the principle of justice? and (2) What are the legal implications of enforcing Article 18(2)(a) of Government Regulation No. 35 of 2023? Employing a normative juridical method with historical and conceptual approaches, the research analyzes primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials using qualitative juridical techniques. The study applies systematic, grammatical, and teleological interpretations to assess the normative consistency and fairness of the regulation. The findings reveal a normative disharmony between Government Regulation No. 35/2023 and the Basic Agrarian Law, particularly concerning the timing and legal basis of tax imposition. The obligation to pay BPHTB at the PPJB stage creates legal uncertainty and perceived injustice, especially for parties who have yet to finalize ownership transfer. The study concludes that the regulation in question does not adequately reflect the principle of justice and recommends legislative revision to align taxation obligations with valid legal transfer of ownership.

Law Enforcement of Cybercrime: Tracking Digital Footprints of Cross-Border Hackers

Idham Qrida Nusa, Bambang Sugiri, Yuliati Yuliati, Faizin Sulistio — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 09:54:50 +0700

This journal analyzes the procedural criminal law (KUHAP) in dealing with cybercrime within formal legal law. The analysis highlights the use of cloud storage as a media to store the proceeds of crime, in the form of data privacy. As a case study to show how cyber criminals commit cyber crimes by using computer networks, investigators still face difficulties in conducting searches and seizures to obtain evidence. The results of data theft crimes which are stored in cloud storage, make digital evidence difficult to be seized, nothing can be used as evidence. As a result, digital evidence from crimes remains accessible and can be reused in subsequent crime, while, hackers remain uncaptured. What strategies can the Indonesian government implement to overcome and prevent cyberbcrime attacks in the future? This requires reformulating legal provisions as amendments and improvements to Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), with reference to the Budapest Convention. This research examines the main problem using a normative juridical approach, statutory approach, case approach, and comparative legal methods, combined with qualitative analysis approach. It philosophically examines the principle of legal certainty and analyzes legal theories of punishment and confiscation. Thus, a formal procedural legal system is applied to regulate the seizure and search of intangible electronic, enabling the electronic evidence stored in cloud to be seized or taken down from cyberspace, declared valid in court, fulfilling the principle of legal certainty to trace the footsteps of hackers across countries/internationally.

Analysis Of The Role Of Information Technology In Strengthening Islamic Religious Education In Pesantren: A Study Of Digital Transformation

Muhamad Rikza Saputro, Mahmud Arif — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 10:51:02 +0700

Digital transformation has brought significant changes in various aspects of life, including in Islamic religious education in pesantren. As an educational institution that plays an important role in shaping the religious and cultural identity of Indonesian society, pesantren face challenges in adjusting to the development of information technology. This study aims to analyze the role of information technology in Islamic religious education in pesantren, including the challenges faced, strategies to overcome obstacles, and the impact on the learning process and pesantren culture. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The research objects were Askhabul Kahfi and Roudlotul Muttaqin Islamic Boarding Schools in Semarang City. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and document studies, and analyzed using inductive and deductive approaches to find emerging patterns and meanings. Data validity was guaranteed through the triangulation method. The results show that pesantren have adopted information technology through the use of online platforms, learning applications, and digital resources to improve teaching effectiveness. However, the implementation of digital transformation is faced with infrastructure limitations, shifts in traditional pesantren culture, and curriculum adjustments. To overcome these challenges, it is necessary to increase the accessibility of technology, training for teachers and students, and the integration of Islamic values in the digital context. The impact can be seen in the changing roles of teachers and students as well as the shifting pesantren culture in religious learning. In conclusion, digital transformation makes a positive contribution to Islamic religious education in pesantren, although adaptation efforts are needed to remain in line with the traditional values upheld.

Reformulating Conservation Policies For Indigenous Peoples In Indonesia

Muhammad Arsyad, Imam Koeswahyono, Indah Dwi Qurbani — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 08:48:02 +0700

The conservation of biological natural resources and ecosystems in Indonesia is still characterized by a centralized and state-dominated approach, as regulated by Law No. 5 of 1990 and Law No. 32 of 2024. This centralized system marginalizes Indigenous Peoples (Masyarakat Hukum Adat, or MHA), disregarding their local wisdom, such as sasi in Maluku and customary forest management by Dayak communities. While the new legislation mentions the involvement of MHA, their role remains symbolic, lacking meaningful participation or authority. This research aims to identify the gaps in conservation regulations concerning MHA and to formulate a progressive policy reform based on the principle of greatest happiness, derived from Bentham's utilitarianism and Satjipto Rahardjo's progressive legal theory. Using a normative juridical method and qualitative analysis, the study finds that legal inconsistencies, overlapping regulations, and tokenism contribute to ecological and social injustice. The study proposes a policy reform framework based on four pillars: recognition of customary law, full decentralization of conservation governance to MHA, mandatory application of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC), and fair benefit-sharing mechanisms. The proposed model, integrating Indigenous Self-Governance and Full Community-Based Conservation, strengthens legal certainty and justice, reflecting a human-centered and sustainable legal approach. Successful indigenous conservation practices, such as in Sungai Utik and Wehea Forest, illustrate the viability of this model.

The Concept of Renewal Period of Right to Cultivate (HGU) In Indonesian Land Law

Hamjah, Imam Koeswahyono, Shinta Hadiyantina — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 08:40:17 +0700

Penelitian ini mengkaji perbedaan pengaturan jangka waktu pemberian Hak Guna Usaha (HGU) antara Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria (UUPA) dan peraturan turunan dari UU Cipta Kerja, yaitu Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 18 Tahun 2021. Dalam UUPA, tidak terdapat ketentuan mengenai jangka waktu pembaruan HGU, hanya mengatur perpanjangan hak tanpa klausula pembaruan setelah masa berlaku berakhir. Sebaliknya, UU Cipta Kerja dan PP 18 Tahun 2021 memberikan pengaturan jangka waktu yang berbeda, tanpa merujuk pada UUPA dan tanpa kejelasan pelaksanaan aturan tersebut, sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis kebijakan penggunaan jangka waktu pembaruan HGU yang diberikan pemerintah. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan baru memberikan jangka waktu perpanjangan dan pembaruan HGU hingga 95 tahun. Kebijakan ini berpotensi mengabaikan prinsip fungsi sosial tanah dan lebih mengutamakan investasi jangka panjang dibandingkan redistribusi tanah untuk keadilan agraria.

Kata Kunci: Hak Guna Usaha, Jangka Waktu, Kebijakan, Agraria, Investasi

Abstract

This study examines the differences in the regulation of land use rights (Hak Guna Usaha, HGU) renewal periods between the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) and the derivative regulation from the Job Creation Law, namely Government Regulation No. 18 of 2021. The UUPA does not regulate the renewal period for HGU, only the extension of rights without clauses on renewal after the expiration period. Conversely, the Job Creation Law and PP 18 of 2021 regulate the renewal period differently, without referencing UUPA and lacking clarity on implementation, thus creating legal uncertainty. The study aims to analyze government policy regarding the renewal period of HGU rights. The method used is normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results reveal that the new policy grants renewal and extension of HGU rights for up to 95 years. This policy potentially neglects the social function of land and tends to prioritize long-term investment interests over land redistribution for agrarian justice.

Keywords: Hak Guna Usaha, Renewal Period, Policy, Agrarian, Investment

We Will Tell You The Representation Of Family Communication In Today's Film: Analysis Of Semiotics Roland Barthes

Alya Hamzah Panggabean, Irma Yusriani Simamora — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:52:51 +0700

Movies are one of the effective ways to represent the dynamics of family relationships. In addition to serving as entertainment, movies can also depict various social issues, one of which is family communication that is full of challenges. The purpose of the research was to analyze how family communication is represented in the film "Today We Will Tell Later" using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method, which emphasizes more on the process of deductive and inductive inference. The source of the data taken comes from the film Today We Will Tell Later which will be analyzed thoroughly. The researcher analyzed the signs contained in the film using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach which included denotative, connotative, and mythical levels. The results of the study show that the film Today Will We Tell Later presents family values raised from Islamic views.

Harmonization of the Authority of The Central and Local Governments in Handling Criminal Acts of Pornography on Social Media: Legal Consequences, Juridical Consequences, and Legal Solutions

Muhammad Hilmy Rizqullah Ramadhan, Abdul Madjid, Muktiono — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 06:30:20 +0700

This study investigates the disharmony between Law No. 44 of 2008 on Pornography and Law No. 23 of 2014 on Regional Government, particularly regarding the division of authority between the central and regional governments in handling digital pornography crimes. Utilizing a normative juridical method, the research applies legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches to assess the vertical and horizontal regulatory conflicts. The findings show that the lack of synchronization between legal provisions leads to legal uncertainty, fragmented enforcement, and contradictions in institutional roles, thus weakening the effectiveness of law enforcement in cyberspace. By employing the theoretical framework of Gustav Radbruch's legal certainty and Jeremy Bentham's utilitarianism, the study reveals that ambiguous authority obstructs legal performance and social protection. The study offers prescriptive solutions through harmonization of regulations, functional-spatial authority distribution, and intersectoral coordination mechanisms to establish a responsive, integrated digital legal governance system in Indonesia.

Weldy Stephan, Ermi Girsang, Widya Yanti Sihotang — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 08:00:42 +0700

Data management and registration services are important components in supporting hospital information systems. Trans Medic application-based online registration is a web-based system that allows simultaneous use by multiple users. This study aims to evaluate the use of the Trans Medic online application in the outpatient registration process at Royal Prima Medan General Hospital. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. The informants in the study totaled ten people, consisting of one official staff, four registration officers, and five patients. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the obstacles faced in using the application were network disruptions and application errors that caused inability to access by patients and officers. Nevertheless, the human resources who manage the application are considered adequate and have the required knowledge and skills. This application provides significant benefits in the form of ease of registration for patients and work efficiency for officers. In addition, Standard Operating Procedures (SPO) related to the use of the application are available and running effectively.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the practice of Qur’anic tahsin (refinement of recitation) within the Islamic Religious Education program at Universitas Terbuka and analyze student learning outcomes to assess its effectiveness. A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was employed. Quantitative data were collected from the academic records of 2,264 students, while qualitative data were obtained through observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that synchronous learning through real-time virtual sessions (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams) offers direct interaction, effective correction, and timely feedback in tahsin instruction. Meanwhile, asynchronous learning facilitates flexibility and autonomous learning, enabling students to access content and engage in self-practice at their own pace. The integration of synchronous and asynchronous modes forms a blended learning model that proves effective for enhancing Qur’anic reading proficiency. Over 75% of students achieved commendable academic performance. In skill-based learning contexts like tahsin, the combination of both methods constitutes an inseparable instructional unity.

Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penyebab tidak terpenuhinya kewajiban pengembang perumahan dalam penyediaan Prasarana, Sarana, dan Utilitas (PSU), serta implikasi hukum yang timbul akibat tidak terpenuhinya kewajiban tersebut. Fokus utama penelitian ini adalah pada pengambil-alihan secara sepihak PSU oleh Pemerintah Daerah di Perumahan Makarya Binangun, Kabupaten Sidoarjo. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis-empiris dengan pendekatan yuridis-sosiologis dan yuridis-antropologis. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara dengan berbagai pihak terkait, seperti Dinas Perumahan, Pemerintah Desa, dan warga perumahan, serta analisis dokumen hukum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengembang perumahan tidak memenuhi kewajibannya, sehingga Pemerintah Daerah melakukan pengambil-alihan PSU secara sepihak. Proses pengambil-alihan ini terhambat oleh ketidaktahuan keberadaan dokumen penting dan ketidakteraturan status hukum lahan PSU. Penelitian ini menyarankan kebijakan baru yang lebih efektif untuk mempercepat proses pengambil-alihan PSU, termasuk penerbitan sertifikat pengganti dan verifikasi lapangan yang lebih transparan.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the causes of developers’ failure to fulfill their obligations in providing Infrastructure, Facilities, and Utilities (PSU) and the legal implications arising from this non-compliance. The primary focus of this research is the unilateral takeover of PSU by the local government in Makarya Binangun Housing, Sidoarjo. This research employs a juridical-empirical method with juridical-sociological and juridical-anthropological approaches. Data collection techniques include interviews with various relevant parties, such as the Housing Department, Village Government, and residents, as well as the analysis of legal documents. The findings indicate that the housing developer failed to meet its obligations, prompting the local government to take unilateral action to acquire the PSU. However, this process was hindered by the lack of essential documentation and irregular legal status of the PSU land. This study suggests the implementation of more effective policies to expedite the PSU takeover process, including the issuance of replacement certificates and a more transparent field verification process.

Analysis Of Langkat Regency Tourism Communication Strategy In Increasing Tourist Visit Interest

Ariansyah Habibi, Achiriah — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 09:19:29 +0700

This study aims to analyze the tourism communication strategy implemented by the Langkat Regency Tourism Office in increasing tourist interest. Langkat Regency has great natural and cultural potential, but has not been fully optimized through an effective and adaptive communication strategy to global trends. This study uses a qualitative approach with an explanatory research type, through observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the communication strategies used include the use of social media, the involvement of micro-influencers, strengthening locality-based destination narratives, developing a community-based creative economy, and cross-actor collaboration. This strategy has been able to build a positive destination image and strengthen tourists' emotional involvement in Langkat, especially through a digital approach and experience-based promotion. However, the study also found challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, low quality of service, and lack of integration between online promotion and the reality of services in the field. Referring to the Marketing Mix 7P theory, Langkat's communication strategy has not fully touched all aspects of the marketing mix in a balanced manner. Therefore, a more integrated and sustainability-based strategic approach is needed to build an inclusive, adaptive, and long-term oriented tourism communication system. This study is expected to be a reference in designing effective tourism communication policies for areas with similar characteristics and challenges. Langkat Communication has not fully touched all aspects of the marketing mix in a balanced manner. Therefore, a more integrated and sustainability-based strategic approach is needed to build an inclusive tourism communication system.

Comparative Analysis of Penalty Clauses in Civil Contracts: Enhancing Legal Certainty and Substantive Justice in Indonesian Law

Lely Sulthoniah, Djumikasih, Yenny Eta Widyanti — Sun, 22 Jun 2025 20:45:31 +0700

Abstract

Penalty clauses in civil contracts serve as a preventive mechanism against breach of contract and as a legal protection tool for the aggrieved party. However, the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) does not explicitly regulate such clauses, resulting in legal uncertainty and inconsistent judicial practices. This study aims to comparatively analyze the regulation and implementation of penalty clauses in Indonesia, the United Kingdom (via the concept of liquidated damages), and Germany (through Strafklauseln). Employing normative, conceptual, case study, and comparative approaches, the findings reveal that Indonesia’s legal framework remains weak and heavily reliant on judicial discretion, in contrast to the more structured and proportionate approaches found in the UK and Germany. The study recommends a reformulation of Indonesia’s legal framework governing penalty clauses to strengthen legal certainty and ensure substantive justice. The novelty of this research lies in its cross-system legal analysis and emphasis on the need for contractual justice reform in Indonesian civil law.

Reformulating Compensation Payment Norms In Land Acquistion For Public Interest

Pebriandi Millenium Saragi, I Nyoman Nurjaya, Herlindah Herlindah — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 14:44:29 +0700

Abstrak

Penelitian ini mengkaji implikasi hukum dari Pasal 78 Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 39 Tahun 2023, khususnya terkait ketidakjelasan batas waktu pembayaran ganti rugi dalam pengadaan tanah untuk kepentingan umum. Ketentuan tersebut memungkinkan penundaan tanpa batas waktu yang jelas, sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum dan mengancam hak konstitusional pemilik tanah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dampak normatif dari kekaburan tersebut serta merumuskan formulasi pengaturan yang lebih pasti secara hukum dan adil secara prosedural. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif, penelitian ini mengacu pada teori keadilan Aristoteles, konsep kepastian hukum Gustav Radbruch, dan prinsip penafsiran peraturan perundang-undangan. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa frasa “hal tertentu” dalam ayat (6) dan (7) membuka celah interpretasi, memungkinkan penyalahgunaan diskresi, serta berpotensi memicu ketidakpercayaan publik dan konflik sosial. Oleh karena itu, studi ini merekomendasikan revisi pengaturan dengan menetapkan batas maksimal penundaan, pemberian sanksi atas keterlambatan, dan penguatan prinsip transparansi. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada fokus terhadap norma waktu sebagai elemen penting dalam perlindungan hukum, yang selama ini kurang mendapat perhatian dalam literatur pengadaan tanah. Temuan ini menjadi semakin relevan di tengah maraknya sengketa ganti rugi yang terus berulang dan merugikan pemilik tanah di berbagai wilayah Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the legal implications of Article 78 of Government Regulation No. 39 of 2023, particularly the ambiguity surrounding the time limit for compensation payments in land acquisition for public interest. The provision allows for postponement without a clear temporal boundary, leading to legal uncertainty and undermining the constitutional rights of landowners. The objective of this research is to analyze the normative consequences of such ambiguity and propose a more legally certain and procedurally fair regulatory formulation. Using a normative legal approach, the study applies Aristotle’s theory of justice, Gustav Radbruch’s concept of legal certainty, and principles of statutory interpretation. The findings indicate that the undefined phrase “certain conditions” in paragraphs (6) and (7) creates interpretive gaps, enables discretionary abuse, and risks triggering public distrust and social conflict. Therefore, the study recommends revising the regulation to establish a clear maximum postponement period, impose delay penalties, and reinforce transparency standards. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on temporal norms as a crucial component of legal protection, an area largely overlooked in existing land acquisition literature. These insights are particularly urgent amid recurring compensation disputes that continue to affect landowners across Indonesia.
