In toll road construction, land disputes are common. These disputes involve the procurement of land from the government to become the foundation of development. In disputes, there is a potential that the affected land belongs to residents.

In reality, toll road construction creates human rights conflicts. On the one hand, residents who own affected land have the right to live in a safe environment and experience prosperity. On the other hand, residents who enjoy toll roads have the right to have a better life, considering that toll roads will help them achieve more opportunities, at least in terms of the economy.

The human rights conflict from toll road construction leads to land disputes. The right of residents to enjoy toll roads becomes the basis for the government to diligently plan land acquisition. Meanwhile, the right of residents to prosper by living in a safe environment becomes the basis for landowners to reject land acquisition.

The end of the land dispute is generally similar in the majority of cases, namely the toll road is still built and the affected residents receive compensation.

This article will discuss the phenomenon of land disputes and the effectiveness of settlement efforts tested against several laws and regulations.
