Land administration in Indonesia
Heryani, Erna and Chris Grant
For more than 350 years Indonesia was under a colonial power. Land laws became a dualism, between western land law and traditional land laws. In the areas where western land laws applied, land registration was completely supported with cadastral maps and surveys. On the other hand, the various Indonesian kingdoms were stipulating their own regulations for the lands in their territories. Both land administration systems were scattered among lands that were subject to traditional laws, which are also various, and different from one region to another.
