Description
Summary:Forensic cadastre is the application of forensic science in land dispute resolution to enhance the accuracy of analysis and the precision of recommendations. This study applied forensic science stages—recognition, identification, individualization, and evidence evaluation—to a land overlap dispute between state-owned land and privately owned parcels belonging to three individuals in Buntu Village, Ligung District, Majalengka Regency, West Java. Method validation was conducted through expert judgment using a questionnaire to assess its alignment with scientific and professional dispute resolution principles. The reliability test resulted in a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.855 for 10 questionnaire items, indicating a high level of internal consistency, while the validity reached 80%. These findings confirm that forensic cadastre has a strong conceptual validity and good reliability, making it an objective and transparent strategy for resolving land disputes that cannot be settled through traditional methods such as mediation.
