PERIZINAN MEMBUKA TANAH NEGARA DI KOTA BALIKPAPAN

Balikpapan, which is located near to the administrative area of the new capital in Indonesia, Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kartanegara, has caused an impact especially in the land sector. The impact is the number of migrants from outside Kalimantan who came and even settled in Balikpapan by buying land or houses. It has a further impact on land registration administration activities which are expected to increase. Therefore one of the efforts of the Balikpapan Local Government in Land administration was creating a License to Open State Land (IMTN). Based on the Balikpapan Local Government Regulation No. 1 of 2014 about License to Open State Land, the certificate of IMTN cannot be issued if there is a rebuttal from the third party, therefore the community is less protected from the land seals they previously owned. The existence of the IMTN procurement aims to ease land administration in Balikpapan, but in reality land administration activities are still not running efficiently due to several obstacles. The method used in this research is Normative-Empirical using library data sources and interview and observation activities. This journal aims to find out what provisions can facilitate the land registration system in the procurement of License to Open State Land (IMTN) in force in Balikpapan and find out how land registration are implemented after the enactment of the IMTN procurement policy
