Abstract

This research aims to analyze the legal aspects concerning the community in the East Coast of Surabaya (Pamurbaya) area that controls land based on evidence of Petok D documents or Yasan Rights amidst the policy establishing the Mangrove Conservation Area and Green Open Space (RTH). The method used in conducting the research employs a normative juridical approach through document study and analysis of national land regulations as well as regional spatial planning. The research results indicate that Petok D or Yasan Rights do not possess legal force as evidence of land rights according to Law Number 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles (UUPA). Although there are asset legalization programs such as Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) and regulations based on UUPA, their application is limited if the area has been designated as a conservation zone. Therefore, an affirmative policy is required in the form of recognition of existing settlements, granting of limited management rights, and community participation in conservation partnership schemes as a form of just legal protection.
