Abstract

Land tenure, encompassing formal registration of ownership rights, land use autonomy,
and property rights spectrum, is pivotal in regulating land-related ownership behavior within
societies. However, insecure land tenure poses significant challenges, especially in developing
countries, where millions lack clear rights to the land and property upon which they rely, leading
to informal settlements. The existence of informal settlements on waqf land often stems from the
underutilization or neglect of such properties because the land is scattered, making them attractive
options for impoverished individuals seeking housing alternatives within an environment lacking
formal land tenure security. This thesis addresses the critical issue of land tenure security,
particularly in urban settlements on waqf land, which refers to land dedicated to religious purposes.
It is to investigate the transformation and the level of land tenure security from informal to
formalized structures in urban settlements on waqf land, using the settlement that is owned by
Kauman Great Mosque area in Semarang City, Indonesia, which took place in Siwalan Urban
Village, as a case study.
