Abstract

Land is one of the most important productive factors for human life and even supports the progress of a nation. The State of Indonesia has regulated the land in the Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Agrarian Law. Article 10 of this Act provides that every person or business entity that owns agricultural land is obliged to actively engage in its own farmland. But the reality is a lot of land left unmanaged called absentee land, as happened in the village of Boro Wetan, Purworejo Regency. Found absentee land covering 684,672 m2 of the total area of Boro Wetan village covering 2,054.017 m2 or the area of absentees land is 1/3 of the overall area of the village. The study aims to identify the causes of absentee land ownership in the village of Boro Wetan and provide recommendations for the optimization of agricultural land in Boro Village. This empirical law research is conducted using a field research approach using indepth interviews to farmers in the village of Boro Wetan to get the problems that occur in farmers’ lives. These problems can be overcome through: (1) coordination and participation of the community, village government, local government and the land office (BPN) of Purworejo Regency; (2) land management measures that, in addition to addressing the problem of absentee land tenure, can also prevent the occurrence of similar problems and land conflicts related to land ownership in the future.
