Problems that can arise are flooding, environmental pollution, and the emergence of slum settlements. The alternative in solving this problem is the availability of land at an affordable price or with the Land Banking Principles to achieve community welfare. Based on the above background, the formulation of the problem can be described, namely how the Legal Characteristics of Land Banking and the application of Land Banking in Indonesia based on the Welfare State perspective. While the purpose of this research is of course to find and analyze the legal characteristics of Land Banking and to analyze and find the application of Land Banking in Indonesia from the perspective of Welfare State.

The concept of Land Banking, which is a land policy where there is state authority either from the government itself or from an independent institution that has the authority to acquire, manage, regulate and distribute abandoned land for public purposes according to government programs. This concept can be said to be a concept as an attempt by the government to fulfill its obligations in order to achieve the welfare of society by making a policy. The government made a Land Banking policy because land is an important element for the community as a place to live. Meanwhile, the residence itself can be said to be the primary need of the community. So that if the primary needs are achieved, the welfare of the community will also be achieved.
