Abstract

Non-penal policies should ideally be regulated, which is the legal basis for implementing the Land Mafia Prevention and Eradication Task Force Team. Legal certainty refers to the application of laws that are clear, permanent, consistent, and consistent. The implementation of which cannot be influenced by subjective circumstances. The restorative justice approach will be the basis for formulating non-penal policies to resolve land dispute cases in Indonesia. The purpose is to determine the position, role, and responsibilities of BPN in Land Settlement in Depok City. This research is normative juridical research and has the character of a prescriptive analysis. According to the author, the theories put forward in this research are the theory of legal certainty and the theory of ownership. Novelty in this research is that the object of the dispute in the BPN Depok area has not involved resolution based on the Principles of Restorative Justice. The research results show that the Depok City BPN has demonstrated significant achievements in resolving land cases, with a level of dispute resolution that exceeds national targets and innovation in conflict resolution approaches. However, the obstacles faced, especially regarding case complexity and limited resources, indicate the need to develop a more comprehensive and sustainable strategy.
