SINOPSIS : Land ownership and land tenure continue to shape some of the most enduring legal, political, and social debates in Indonesia. Questions concerning who controls land, who benefits from it, and on what basis claims to ownership are recognised remain deeply contested, particularly in urban areas where competing interests intersect. The case of Bong Mojo in Surakarta represents one such example, revealing tensions between formal legal authority and lived social realities in relation to land governance. This book examines the conflict over land ownership involving the Bong Mojo area, where the Surakarta City Government claims de jure control over land assets while sections of the local community assert de facto claims based on long-term occupation and social legitimacy. Central to this discussion is the role played by Fransiskus Xaverius Hadi Rudyatmo in supporting community efforts to negotiate recognition of land ownership and challenge dominant understandings of state control over land. The discussion pays particular attention to competing understandings of land ownership. On one side stands the concept of absolute ownership, which has strongly influenced Indonesian land administration through legal frameworks inherited from the colonial period. On the other side is a communal understanding of land ownership, reflected in local social practices and articulated through the concept of mulur mungkret, which became an important basis for community claims in Bong Mojo. The interaction between these perspectives raises broader questions concerning justice, legitimacy, and the social function of land. Drawing upon legal theory, perspectives on colonial legacies, and critical discourse analysis, this book explores how communities negotiate legal subjectivity and resist dominant land ownership frameworks in contemporary Indonesia. Particular attention is also given to the role of political actors as intermediaries or cultural brokers in shaping pathways of conflict resolution and public policy concerning land governance.
