Abstract

Changes to the spatial planning of Palu City following the 2018 earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction events have impacted the legal certainty of land rights holders, particularly due to the designation of disaster-prone areas and "red zones" that restrict community land use. This study aims to analyze the role of the Palu City Government in providing legal certainty and protection to the community affected by these spatial planning changes. The study employs an empirical-juridical method, utilizing both statutory and sociological approaches. Data were gathered from primary sources through interviews with stakeholders such as the local government, the National Land Agency, and affected residents and secondary sources, including books, journals, and regulations concerning land and spatial planning; the data were then analyzed using a descriptive-qualitative method. The findings indicate that the Palu City Government plays a role through policies adjusting spatial planning, designating disaster-prone areas, implementing relocation programs, providing spatial planning information, and coordinating with relevant agencies to resolve land-related issues faced by the affected community. However, the implementation of legal protection still faces obstacles, including incomplete land ownership documentation, discrepancies in land data, and the need for better dissemination of spatial planning policies to the public
