PERLINDUNGAN DAN PENGELOLAAN ASET DAERAH TERHADAP PENINGKATAN PENDAPATAN ASLI DAERAH BERDASARKAN UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 1 TAHUN 2004 TENTANG PERBENDAHARAAN NEGARAEvaHermawatiauthorIndonesia, as a welfare state based on the rule of law, grants authority to regional governments to manage regional finances and assets in order to support public services and improve public welfare. One of the strategic regional resources is regional assets or Regional-Owned Property, which possess economic value and the potential to increase Regional Original Revenue (PAD). However, in practice, the management of regional assets still faces various challenges, such as weak legal protection, administrative disorder, and suboptimal asset utilization. The problems identified in this research are: (1) How are the forms of safeguarding and utilization of productive regional assets of Banten Province during the 2021– 2024 period in relation to the increase of Regional Original Revenue when reviewed under Law Number 1 of 2004 concerning State Treasury? (2) How are the forms of management and utilization of regional assets in increasing Regional Original Revenue when reviewed under Law Number 1 of 2004 concerning State Treasury? This study applies the theory of the welfare state under the rule of law and asset theory as its theoretical framework. The research method employed is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical character through a normative juridical approach. The results show that the safeguarding and utilization of productive regional assets in Banten Province during the 2021–2024 period have been carried out through administrative, physical, and legal safeguards. However, the utilization of these assets has not been optimal in increasing Regional Original Revenue, as there remain assets that have not been utilized productively and economically. Furthermore, although the management and utilization of regional assets have been implemented normatively, they have not contributed significantly due to limitations in asset utilization planning, weak supervision, and the continued existence of idle regional assets.K Law (General)2026UNIVERSITAS SULTAN AGENG TIRTAYASA;MAGISTER HUKUMThesis
