Land conflicts in Indonesia persist at a high level due to overlapping claims, inadequate historical documentation, and discrepancies in authority between institutions. This study aims to analyze the governance of conflict resolution by ATR/BPN, map the regulatory-implementation relationship, and design a data-based non-litigation conflict management model. The study was conducted in Jambi Province to examine the case of PT Kaswari Unggul, PT DAS, PT FPIL, PT EWF, and the TORA process in Muaro Jambi. Data were collected through interviews, FGDs, observations, and document reviews; analysis using regulatory mapping, Soft System Methodology, and Analytical Hierarchy Process for strategy prioritization. The results indicate that the root of the main problem lies in poor subject–object verification and limited data integration. The merging of DUKCAPIL data for subjects and RTRW/administrative boundaries for objects accelerates clarification, reduces social friction, and enables settlement options such as enclaves, 20% partnership grants, and benefit-sharing schemes. The proposed model emphasizes five factors: data accuracy, process effectiveness, justice/recognition of rights, community participation, and institutional integration; and involves ATR/BPN, DUKCAPIL, communities/customs, NGOs, and academics. In conclusion, the national standardization of DUKCAPIL-RTRW verification, the establishment of independent mediation units with cross-access to data, and institutional interoperability are crucial to accelerate equitable resolution and reduce the recurrence of conflicts. Cross-provincial trials are suggested to measure the impact on duration, cost, post-agreement compliance, public trust, and sustainability of spatial planning, as well as the effectiveness of ongoing multi-stakeholder coordination.
