Abstract
This study aims to analyze the legal protection framework for landowners in agricultural land pawn practices and formulate an ideal legal protection concept to achieve agrarian certainty and justice. The study employs a normative legal method using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach through a literature review of various primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. The results of the study indicate that legal protection for landowners in agricultural land pawn practices has not been optimally implemented due to low public legal awareness, the dominance of informal customary law practices, weak land administration, and a lack of government oversight. Land pawn practices conducted without written agreements often lead to legal uncertainty and prolonged land control by the pawn recipients. This study proposes an integrative legal protection framework through the harmonization of national law and customary law, the strengthening of land administration, the registration of land pawn transactions, and the enhancement of access to legal assistance and education for agrarian communities to achieve fair and balanced legal relationships.
