penetapan

Penetapan is a formal act or result of fixing or establishing a matter by an authorized authority. In Indonesian usage, the term denotes actions that determine status, rights, obligations, or specific contents of a document in a binding and official manner. The word stems from tetap, with the prefix pen- indicating an act or process.

In legal and administrative contexts, penetapan is typically issued as a written decision or order by a government body, court, or other competent institution. It can address various issues, such as penetapan harga (price setting by a regulator), penetapan jadwal (schedule determinations), penetapan masa (time limits or grace periods), or penetapan hak atas tanah (land-right determinations) when required by law. It may also refer to procedural or administrative determinations within a case, distinct from substantive rulings on the merits.

Penetapan usually contains the identity of the involved parties, the legal basis, the reasons for the decision, and the specific content of what is fixed or established. It is intended to be binding and enforceable, often requiring compliance by named parties or agencies. Depending on the context and applicable regulations, an issued penetapan may be subject to appeal, objection, or other legal remedies in accordance with relevant perundang-undangan.
