Abstract

Background: Misuse of kalurahan land in the Special Region of Yogyakarta raises legal and governance concerns because a public asset governed by the region’s special land regime may be utilized before the required authorization has been obtained, creating risks under administrative and anti-corruption law.

Objective: This study analyzes the legal framework governing kalurahan land and examines how weaknesses in authorization procedures, supervision, and third-party conduct may facilitate misuse that may implicate anti-corruption law.

Methods: The study employs a socio-legal research design that combines statutory and case analysis with limited field evidence from an interview with a Corruption Court judge. Statutes, implementing regulations, and selected decisions of the Yogyakarta Corruption Court are analyzed through legal interpretation and an examination of judicial reasoning.

Results: The governing framework consists of the Undang-Undang Keistimewaan Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY Special Status Law) and its implementing land regulations. Across the cases examined, misuse was associated with activities undertaken before the Governor’s authorization had been obtained, inadequate preventive supervision, and administrative conduct that enabled third parties to proceed despite incomplete authorization.

Conclusion: The cases indicate that the central legal issue is not the absence of regulations but the gap between the specialized authorization regime and its implementation. The study contributes by connecting the special-region land law of DIY with anti-corruption analysis and by identifying preventive governance measures for kalurahan assets.
