This study aims to present an overview of land mafia practices in Indonesia which raises problems of land cases, land dispute conflicts that lead to Staat Van Oorlog en Beleg (SOB) or a state of emergency. The actions and modus operandi of the land mafia in Indonesia are carried out both individually and in groups based on bad intentions involving politicians, criminals, property traders and corrupt government officials. The research methodology used is normative law with a qualitative analysis approach. This document uses primary, secondary and tertiary legal data which is processed from scientific contributions published in research academic databases. This scientific contribution concludes that it is hoped that the problem of land disputes in Indonesia can be resolved properly and amicably. It is hoped that a comprehensive study that includes the government can be carried out as soon as possible so that the problem of land disputes due to land mafia actions does not have the potential to spread and be resolved properly and correctly. Land dispute resolution mechanisms can be resolved by the government by adopting settlements carried out by professional parking authorities. This basic reason is a manifestation of the rights and responsibilities of each party. This study is of interest to the government and legislators, academics and land observers to address SOB related to land mafia practices in Indonesia as a crime in the land sector.
