Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of the general boundaries principle and analyze the legal certainty of land title certificates that use the general boundaries principle in the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program in East Lombok Regency. The type of research in writing this thesis is empirical legal research, legal research that functions to see the law in a real sense and examine how the law works in the community environment. The results of the study indicate that the application of the general boundaries principle has been carried out according to technical procedures and provides legal certainty through a standardized mechanism, as regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of ATR/BPN No. 6 of 2018 and Technical Instructions. The application of the general boundary’s principle does not determine land boundaries precisely, however, land boundaries still have legal and social legitimacy because they can be identified clearly, stated in maps and official measurement letters, recorded in land books and their validity is still fulfilled through boundary agreements (the principle of contradictory delimitation). The application of this principle is very effective in accelerating land registration in the PTSL program, although there are technical challenges in the form of visual obstacles to vegetation, these are overcome through additional measurement methods (supplements) and strengthening community participation. Thus, certificates issued using the general boundries principle still provide legal certainty and legal protection for rights holders, both preventively and repressively, especially for rights holders who act in good faith.
