The control/ownership of land in Surabaya is marked by the unique phenomenon of surat ijo; many residents in the municipalities life on state land. Entering Reform Ere (1999), most of the occupants were no longer abide to the existing regulations. Furthermore, solidarity within community of “tanah surat ijo” arises, and has led them to establish their own mass organization and fight for hak milik (HM, land ownership rights) over the land they occupy. It is thus unsurprising that conflict of interest has occurred between the two. Various efforts to resolve this conflict have been undertaken, including mediation and a civil suit, but these have been unsuccessful to date. Similarly, the enactment of Peraturan Daerah No. 16 Tahun 2014 (Surabaya Municipal By law No. 16 of 2014) was unable to resolve the conflict. This paper attempts to under-stand and explain the context of land control, ownership, and conflict over “tanah surat ijo” in Surabaya. As conclusion, that the system of “tanahsurat ijo”-is a transformation of the colonial land rent system-has affected all aspects (be they social, economic political, cultural, or psychological) of its residents lives. Besides that, to promote conflict resolution, there must be a transformation in “tanah surat ijo” system; this requires the involvement, cooperation, and coordination between rel-evant ministries.
