Land grabbing is not a new phenomenon and has occurred in Indonesia. The term land grabbing refers to the act of seizing rights or property arbitrarily, without adhering to laws and regulations, such as occupying land or houses that do not belong to the perpetrator. Unlawful land grabbing constitutes a legal violation and can be categorized as a criminal act. If the act is intentionally committed by someone who seizes the land of others, Article 167 of the Criminal Code (KUHPidana) may be applied. Meanwhile, the civil law aspects encompass Article 1365 and Article 1366, as in cases of land grabbing, there are parties who suffer losses and are entitled to compensation for the damages incurred.

Based on the case analysis, it can be concluded that the unlawful act in the case fulfills the civil elements because the certificate of ownership and the controller of the land are different, and the rightful owner suffers a disadvantage.This action is subject to Article 1365 of the Civil Code.Furthermore, the unlawful act fulfills the criminal elements related to pre-acquisition, acknowledging without rights, and possession without rights, potentially falling under Article 385 of the Criminal Code concerning land grabbing.

Further research should explore the effectiveness of current land registration systems in preventing land grabbing, focusing on identifying loopholes and proposing improvements to enhance legal certainty. Additionally, a comparative study examining land dispute resolution mechanisms in different Indonesian regions could reveal best practices for efficient and equitable outcomes. Finally, research is needed to investigate the socio-economic impacts of land grabbing on affected communities, including the psychological distress and loss of livelihood, to inform policy interventions aimed at providing adequate support and rehabilitation. These studies should consider the interplay between administrative, civil, and criminal law in addressing land disputes, and propose integrated solutions that prioritize the protection of land rights and the promotion of social justice. A comprehensive understanding of these issues is crucial for developing effective strategies to combat land grabbing and ensure sustainable land management practices in Indonesia.
