EMBRACING SOCIAL JUSTICE: EXPLORING THE JOURNEY FROM LAND REFORM TO AGRARIAN REFORM
Abstract
The fifth principle of Pancasila, social justice for all Indonesian citizens, states the objective of the Rule of Law in Indonesia. In the field of agrarian studies, the failure to promptly address the imbalance in land ownership and control might hinder the achievement of public welfare. Given these circumstances, this article examines the extent to which the land reform and agrarian reform programs have succeeded in achieving social justice from 1961 until now, using a literature review, methodology, and secondary data as the basis for analysis. The research findings indicate that the implementation of land reform and agrarian reform from 1960 until now has shown a change in the percentage of land ownership inequality. Based on these findings, data from the National Land Agency also suggests that the community's welfare has improved following the implementation of land reform and agrarian reform.
