Economic growth is an indicator of measuring economic success. The factors influencing the economy of a region is the business climate. Medan as the third largest city in Indonesia has a rapidly developing economy to accommodate business activities. Regional Government of Medan should provide Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) indicators for the investors. Starting a new business is one of the ten EoDB indicators which cannot be separated from the important role of notaries. However, the Regional Government and notaries in Medan have not synergized well so that trimming the licensing procedures for starting a business. This is legal research with a normative juridical approach. The results show that Government Regulation Number 24 of 2018 concerning Electronic Integrated Licensing Services mandates the use of Online Single Submission (OSS) systems. This system trims the bureaucracy and encourages new business start-ups. The Indonesian Notary Association intensely conducts education and training for Notaries on the benefit of applying OSS system. In conclusion, a Notary does not solely act as a deed maker in licensing procedures. Trimming procedures through OSS system as a support to ease of doing business will increase the economic growth in Medan, including licensing arrangements by a Notary.
The state guarantees sufficient food for every citizen as regulated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Food availability is highly dependent on the existence of sustainable food agricultural lands. The conversion is the cause of food agricultural land decrease. Unmet food needs will then affect national food security. The problem in this research is the effect of granting permits for the conversion of productive agricultural land into residential land and its relation to food security in Indonesia. This legal research uses a normative juridical approach. Data was collected through a literature review and analyzed qualitatively. The results show that agricultural land is decreasing every year due to its conversion into residential and infrastructural lands for the public interest. In the end, with insufficient food needs, national food security is diminished. In conclusion, permits to convert sustainable food agricultural lands should only be given on the condition. The recommendation of this research is for the regional government, the Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ASP/NLA), and Notary/Land Deed Official to work collaboratively in providing information on the impact of agricultural land conversion on the sustainability of food availability.
