Abstract

This study aims to analyze the practice of possession of state-owned land by poor groups in the Deli Serdang area, Medan, from the perspective of John Rawls' Theory of Justice. The phenomenon of state land ownership by low-income communities is often a complex issue involving legal, social, and moral aspects. Within the framework of Rawls's theory, social justice emphasizes the protection of the most disadvantaged groups in society as well as the equitable distribution of resources. This study uses normative juridical methods and sociological approaches, with data obtained through document studies, field observations, and interviews with local residents and government officials. The results of the study show that the practice of land tenure is a form of response to the inequality of access to housing and land. Although legally such actions are considered invalid, from the perspective of Rawlsian distributive justice, the actions of communities can be understood as a form of demand for their basic rights. This study recommends a more humane and equitable policy approach, including the possibility of limited legalization by paying attention to the principle of the social function of land.
