This dispute not only has an impact on legal aspects, but also social, economic and cultural aspects. The aim of the service is to increase knowledge so that village communities are able to understand, use and legally defend their rights when faced with land disputes. The Service Method is by conducting FGDs and outreach to the local government and community to collaborate in Service activities to increase knowledge about the Law in dealing with Land disputes, including the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) No. 5 of 1960, Government Regulation no. 24 of 1997. The results of the service showed that the community was able to know about legal literacy regarding land disputes. 85% of participants were able to know these regulations. Suggestions to the local government to continue to socialize these Legislative Regulations as the basis for agrarian law in Indonesia, regulating land rights, ownership, and regulating land registration procedures to provide legal certainty of ownership and use of land.</p> 2026-09-28T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Community Empowerment Issues https://np-publication.com/index.php/jcei/article/view/60 Legal Awareness Session on Land Ownership Legality and Dispute Prevention Measures in Awolagadin Village 2026-09-04T14:01:52+00:00 Agustafa Agustafa agustapabaddahu@gmail.com Nurmi Sari nurmisari73@gmail.com Sabaruddin Sabaruddin udin22bone@gmail.com Suriadi Suriadi suriadi0987@gmail.com William Kurniawan Williamkurniawan.wk554@gmail.com Syerli Novsarina Syerlinovsarina6632@gmail.com Reski Novianti reskinovianti789@gmail.com Lala Susila lalasusila_123@gmail.com Sandi Rosandi sandirosandi.6363@gmail.com Muh.

Faiq Alfadillah faiq_alfadillah7172@gmail.com Andika Amir andikaamir_aa44@gmail.com <p>Land ownership that has clear legality is an important factor in providing legal certainty and preventing land disputes in society. However, there are still many village communities who have a low level of understanding regarding the importance of the legality of land ownership, land registration procedures, as well as efforts to resolve and prevent land disputes. This community service activity aims to increase the legal knowledge and awareness of the Awolagadin Village community regarding the legality of land ownership and efforts to prevent disputes. The methods used include legal counseling, interactive lectures, discussions and question and answer sessions involving the community, village officials and community leaders. The material presented includes the legal basis of land ownership, the importance of land title certificates, land registration procedures, factors causing land disputes, as well as preventive steps to avoid agrarian conflicts. The results of the activity show an increase in public understanding regarding the importance of legal certainty regarding land ownership and awareness of completing land documents in accordance with statutory provisions. Apart from that, the community gains an understanding of the mechanism for resolving disputes through deliberation and through legal channels if the dispute cannot be resolved amicably. This activity is expected to increase community legal awareness to minimize the potential for land disputes and create orderly land administration in Awolagadin Village.</p> 2026-09-28T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Community Empowerment Issues
