Abstract

English

Waqf land in East Java amounts to 78,825 plots covering 5,006.23 hectares, yet its registration level remains relatively low. Of this number, only 37,940 plots (2,270.25 ha) have been certified, while 4,885 plots (2,735.98 ha) have not obtained formal legal status. This study aims to analyze the registration system for waqf land under the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL) and the implementation of E-Registration, as well as to examine the supervision mechanisms and their legal implications. Using an empirical juridical method with a socio-legal approach, the study explores registration practices and institutional dynamics of waqf management in the field. The primary contribution of this research lies in establishing a conceptual link between digital transformation in land administration—specifically through E-Registration—and Islamic legal institutions governing waqf. The findings show that digitalizing PTSL significantly increases the number of registered waqf lands and enhances efficiency, transparency, accountability, and legal protection for both nazhir and wakif. This demonstrates that digitalization is not merely an administrative innovation but also a tool that strengthens waqf governance as part of contemporary Islamic legal reform. This study fills a gap in the literature, which has largely focused on normative aspects of waqf without examining the integration of technology into its implementation. From a policy perspective, the success of digital PTSL depends on effective E-AIW training, accurate data validation, digital outreach, and continuous monitoring.

Waqf land in East Java is 78,825 plots with total of 5,006.23 hectares. Yet, its registration level is relatively low. Of this number, only 37,940 plots (2,270.25 ha) have been certified, while 4,885 plots (2,735.98 ha) have not obtained formal legal status. The study aimed to analyze the registration system for waqf land under the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL) and the implementation of E-Registration, as well as to examine the supervision mechanisms and legal implications. Using an empirical juridical method with a socio-legal approach, the study explored registration practices and institutional dynamics of waqf management. The primary contribution of this research was in establishing a conceptual etween digital transformation in land administration, specifically through E-Registration and Islamic legal institutions governing waqf. The findings showed that digitalizing PTSL significantly increases the number of registered waqf lands and enhances efficiency, transparency, accountability, and legal protection for both nazir and wakif. This demonstrates that digitalization is not merely an administrative innovation but also a tool that strengthens waqf governance as part of contemporary Islamic legal reform. Thus, the study filled a gap in the literature, which has largely focused on normative aspects of waqf without examining the integration of technology into its implementation. From a policy perspective, the success of digital PTSL depends on effective E-AIW training, accurate data validation, digital outreach, and continuous monitoring.
