This thesis is entitled “The Implementation of Agricultural Land Transfer For a
National Strategic Project that Causes Paddy Field Vulnerability in Sleman
District”. The focus of this thesis departs from the changes in the regulations of
Article 44 Paragraph 2 of Law no. 41 of 2009 became the provisions of Article 44
of Law no. 11 of 2020. Changes in land function which were originally intended
only for the public interest, in the new Law, land conversion can also be carried
out for National Strategic Projects. This certainly raises concerns about the
vulnerability of paddy fields, especially in Sleman District which has a history of
high land conversion. This concern is also reinforced by the existence of a
government project in the construction of a toll road in Sleman District area. In the
empirical research conducted through primary data collection in Margomulyo
Village and Tirtoadi Village, supplemented by secondary data, it was found that the
conclusion that the implementation of the conversion of agricultural land which is
a Central Government project is not a major factor in the emergence of paddy field
vulnerability. The National Strategic Project is actually the government's hope in
suppressing the rate of conversion of agricultural land, especially paddy fields.
