Abstract
This study analyses the Government's responsibilities in implementing land acquisition in National Strategic Projects. This is qualitative research using a statutory approach, case and conceptual approaches. The primary legal materials resulted from relevant laws and legislation. The legal material collected is analysed prescriptively. The results showed that national strategic projects' land acquisition planning arrangements must be accommodated adequately and comprehensively. There are no land acquisition planning arrangements that accommodate justice, which has encouraged the creation of land acquisition conflicts. Research findings show that the Government's responsibility in acquiring land for National Strategic Projects is weak, and regulatory arrangements are unclear. Government responsibility still needs to be stronger and have strict legal regulations. Legal certainty for economic interests in National Strategic Projects is more dominant. At the same time, the Government has ignored the interests of law and justice for the affected communities.
