The Legal Protection for Land Rights Holders Due to Loss of Data

In its history before the enactment of the UUPA there was a dualism of Agrarian Law in Indonesia. This dualism in agrarian law is more detrimental to indigenous groups, because customary law governing lands with customary rights is an unwritten law, while on the other hand land with western rights is regulated by written western law. Registration for lands subject to western law aims to provide legal certainty guarantees known as Rechts Cadaster or Legal Cadaster.The formulation of the problem in this study are: 1)legal protection for land rights holders due to loss of data at the Kendari City Land Office, 2) the impact of loss of land records on community land rights in Kendari City, 3) legal aspects of legal protection of land rights resulting from data recovery.The method used by researchers isnormative legal approachandspecifications in this study are included in the analytical descriptive.The sources and types of data in this study are primary data obtained from field studies by interviewingBPN in Kendari City.And secondary data obtained from literature studies.
