Despite the ongoing reform period, Indonesia has not made substantial progress in eradicating corruption, especially in the land sector, where entrenched corrupt practices continue to impede the effective implementation of the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL Program). This study aims to identify and propose an improved legal framework to address corruption within the PTSL Program, facilitating the development of laws needed for the future eradication of corruption in the land sector. Employing a descriptive and analytical socio-legal approach, this research seeks to produce alternative legal models that can effectively combat corruption in future implementations of the PTSL Program. The proposed legal construction consists of both external and internal conceptual frameworks, which are essential for developing an effective fraud control plan for national strategic land programs, particularly the PTSL Program. It is imperative for the government to undertake a thorough evaluation, revision, and amendment of the regulatory provisions outlined in the Joint Decree of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency, the Minister of Home Affairs, and the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration- Numbers 25/SKB/V/2017, Number 590-3167A of 2017, and Number 34 of 2017- Concerning Financing for the Preparation of Systematic Land Registration (referred to as the Decree of the 3 Ministers or SKB Tiga Menteri). Particular attention should be given to the substantive content of the Seventh Dictum. Therefore, it is recommended that the government review, update, or amend the provisions of this Decree, especially those related to the Seventh Dictum, as well as its implementing regulations, including the Regent Regulation on Financing Standards for the Preparation of Complete Systematic Land Registration, which has been issued across all districts and cities. This legal policy will significantly impact law enforcement against corruption in the ongoing PTSL Program within the broader land certification initiative.
