. The Special Region of Yogyakarta holds a distinctive "Special" status, particularly concerning land management following the enactment of Law No. 13 of 2012. The Kasultanan (Sultanate) and Pakualaman possess special rights to control and manage Sultan Ground and Pakualaman Ground lands, dedicated to the welfare and benefit of the community. Land issues have been further regulated under Special Regional Regulation No. 1 of 2017. There exist two primary issues: firstly, the lack of capacity and knowledge regarding constitutional rights related to the management and utilization of Sultan Ground (SG) and Pakualaman Ground (PG) as per Perda No.1/2017 among the targeted groups. Secondly, there's a lack of legal awareness regarding the process of obtaining approval or ownership by residents of SG and PG. The implementation methods encompass: (a) initial preparation and issue identification; (b) participant identification and legal document study; (c) interactive village discussions; and (d) legal counselling. With a targeted achievement of maximal understanding at 85%, this program is expected to contribute to enhancing knowledge, legal awareness, and self-capacity concerning the management and utilization of SG and PG lands for the people's welfare. The mandatory outcomes include publication in a national scientific journal, mass media publication, activity videos, and additional participation in scientific forums.
