Abstract :
This research is aimed to explain the regulation of reclamation in Indonesia, specifically
in the North Coast Jakarta, and compare it with the regulation and practice of reclamation in
Singapore, specifically in Jurong Island. This reseach preliminarily elaborates the legal basis
of Indonesia?s legal system, Indonesia?s legal basis of land or agrarian matters, and the history
of reclamation in the North Coast Jakarta. Furthermore, this research consists of comparative
analysis regarding the legal basis for both countries? reclamation, the party giving consent to
the reclamation, and types of rights of reclaimed land. This research uses the concept of
analytical-explanatory method by means of literature study and also empirical study from the
data provided complemented by case study. The results of this research show that there are
some differences between the concept, regulation, and practice of both countries in
reclamation. Differences exist since not only that the legal basis of agrarian law or land law in
both countries are different, but also because of the difference of the legal system in both
countries. By writing this research, hopefully it may give certain benefits for legislator and
government in Indonesia to further improve the regulation and practice of reclamation in
Indonesia, specifically in the North Coast Jakarta.
