In a development, land is definitely needed, while land owned by the state is getting less and less, so land acquisition is necessary.

The results of this study show that the government is the executor of land acquisition, the mechanism of which consists of four stages, namely planning, preparation, implementation, and the delivery of results. Then, the government and regional governments have the authority to guarantee the availability of land and funding for land acquisition for the public interest and as the executor of land acquisition. The government and regional governments have an obligation to prioritize the welfare of their citizens because the principle of development in the public interest is aimed at increasing the welfare of all people.
