Abstract
Absentee land is agricultural land that is currently mostly owned by
village communities that still uphold customary law regarding land ownership
and management. Land issues are fundamental to human life from a customary law
perspective. Looking at this social phenomenon, whether retired civil servants
in Indonesia can be given the right not to own land, even though land ownership
is prohibited under the Basic Agrarian Law The research method used is
normative legal research (doctrinal research). The purpose of normative legal
research is to examine positive legal norms and use positive legal documents
that are examined normatively as legal materials. This research uses a type of
normative legal research that uses legal approach methods and conceptual
approaches. Absentee ownership of agricultural land for retired civil servants
is provided with a profit-sharing system, considering that during their tenure
civil servants could not choose a suitable workplace depending on their place
of residence. Similarly, retired civil servants are given absentee land
ownership, this is due to the age factor of retired civil servants who are no
longer productive in working and whose daily lives are very different from
farmers in rural areas. Therefore, the distribution of benefits for absentee
land ownership for retired civil servants is intended to show gratitude from
the state for their achievements and to maintain the health of retired civil
servants, this is also due to the fact that the salary received during
retirement is not as large as the salary received while working as a civil
servant. Retired civil servants can take over agricultural land because there
are exceptions regulated in Government Regulation Number 4 of 1977.
