The construction of the Nusantara State Capital at the Sepaku Semoi Dam site triggered a land dispute due to a lawsuit filed by Prince Hario Adiningrat, who claimed to have rights over the land acquisition object and felt aggrieved because he was not recognized as an entitled party to receive compensation. This research aims to analyze the causes of the dispute and the resolution process. The research method used is sociological juridical with data collection techniques through interviews. The research's results indicate that the land dispute was caused by the issuance of the East Kalimantan Governor’s Decree Number 590/K.653/2019 regarding the Determination of the Land Acquisition Location for the Construction of the Sepaku Semoi Dam. The decree was deemed detrimental to Prince Hario’s rights as his name was not listed as a recipient of compensation. Furthermore, the dispute was triggered by contradictions and inconsistencies in the applicable land law regulations. The resolution of the dispute was pursued through litigation in the General Court by filing a lawsuit at the Penajam District Court, Case Number 64/Pdt.G/2020/PN Pnj, and in the Administrative Court by filing a lawsuit at the Samarinda State Administrative Court, Case Number 38/G/2021/PTUN.SMD. The implications of this research highlight the importance of revisiting land acquisition regulations to ensure the protection of the rights of parties potentially disadvantaged in strategic national development processes.
