A report compiled by the Jakarta Legal Aid Foundation (LBH Jakarta) found that 47.5% of residents of public housing units who were victims of evictions in Jakarta had occupied their former homes for more than 20 years. Furthermore, 17.5% had occupied their former homes for 0-5 years, 14.4% for 5-10 years, and 20.6% for 10-20 years.
This research by LBH Jakarta reveals that these evictions contradict the law. Having occupied the land for 20 years, residents should have received land certificates. This is in accordance with Article 1963 in conjunction with Article 1967 of the Civil Code and Article 24 paragraph (2) of Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration, which protects the rights of residents who have occupied a piece of land for more than 20 years to obtain a certificate.
