The development of Jakarta Outer Ring Road (JORR) Toll Road is one of the major steps undertaken by the Ministry of Public Work and the Jabodetabek Local Governments to solve the traffic congestion problem in the Jabodetabek region. However, the development of the infrastructure has faced prolonged obstacle related to land acquisition, which has resulted in significant delay in the accomplishment of the development project. This research aims at understanding how the land acquisition process has emerged as an obstacle to the project, by looking into relevant social groups, their interests, conflicts and negotiations among them. The Social Construction Theory is employed as the main analytical tool in the research. Data collection was carried out by studying relevant legal documents, interview, and field observation. Validation was conducted by examining cross-consistency of data obtained from all relevant social groups. Results of the analysis were then expressed in terms of narrations that describe how the land acquisition has influenced the development of JORR toll road. Results of the research shows that : firstly, different social groups uses different criteria for pricing and this has resulted in prolonged conflicts; secondly, about thirteen social groups have been influenced by the JORR Toll Road project, and have responded in different ways; these groups may be divided into four categories of interest, that is, land user, land lord, toll road user, and land broker; thirdly, whether agreements among groups were achieved or not are determined by several factors, that is, criteria of ownership, definitions of roles, and the differences of interpretations on the validity of regulations. The research recommends the use of an alternative Land Consolidation and Land Banking to foster agreements among conflicting groups, and thereby, accelerate the accomplishment of the JORR toll road project. <br />
