This paper was written using two sources, namely interviews and literature studies. Normatively, land regulation in DIY was derived in Perdais No.2 / 2017. With the sultan's big ambition to put in order and carry out a re-inventory which was claimed based on the Dutch heritage map. There are 13,226 lands in Sultan Ground and Pakualaman Ground which are targeted to be completed in the inventory by 2024. In contrast to other regions, there are three land regulatory agencies in Yogyakarta. Department of Land and City Spatial Planning, Panitikismo, and the National Land Agency. There have been several land conflicts in the implementation of the Sultanate Land control policy. Village land claims are part of the sultanate land.
