Abstract
Land is a strategic natural resource with significant economic, social, and legal values. Within the context of Indonesian law, land is controlled by the state and utilized for the greatest prosperity of the people. However, reality shows that much land remains unproductive or abandoned, leading to issues of unequal land ownership distribution, agrarian conflicts, and economic losses. This study aims to analyze the urgency of land regulations governing the control of unproductive land for 20 years, specifically within the framework of Government Regulation Number 20 of 2021 in conjunction with Government Regulation Number 48 of 2025. The research method used is normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results indicate that the provision regarding the 20-year time limit for land owned by parties without legal relationship has high urgency in realizing the social function of land, reducing inequality, preventing conflicts, increasing economic productivity, and preserving natural resources. This regulation also provides legal certainty for communities who have controlled and utilized land over a long period.
