Basically, the constitution and legislation in Indonesia have made strong and complete regulations on how people gain access to ownership, control or utilization of land. In its development, there are also various kinds of problems of people's accessibility to land. Prof. Dr. H. Martin Roestamy, S.H., M.H said, through preliminary research that has been done UNIDA offers a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) program for the Bogor, Cianjur, and Sukabumi areas in overcoming these problems. Article 33 paragraph 3 of the 1945 Constitution emphasizes that the earth, water, and natural resources contained therein are controlled by the state and used for the greatest prosperity of the people. Then, this is elaborated in the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) No. 5 of 1960 article 1 paragraph 1. "Land Democracy means the sovereignty of the people as the owners of the nation and state over land, ignoring people's access to land is a violation of the constitution. Why? Because the message of the founders of this Republic is that land is maximally for the prosperity of the people. Therefore, the moral revolution is used for how to restore people's access to land," he said. Prof. Dr. H. Martin Roestamy, S.H., M.H also explained that land for the Indonesian people is a complexity, including family issues, religious, sensitive, magical, self-esteem, future, prestige, social status, and at the same time a place to go home. "So beautiful is this equatorial emerald, that land becomes the quarry of investors. All corners of this country in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, Maluku, Papua, Sulawesi, and even other small islands are targeted," he said. In his presentation, Prof. Dr. H. Martin Roestamy, S.H., M.H also offered the development of land management concepts.
