Studi Komparatif Penyelesaian Sengketa Lingkungan Di Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara Indonesia Dan Thailand

This study aims to analyze the comparison of environmental dispute resolution in the State Administrative Court (PTUN) of Indonesia and its Thailand equivalent. This is a normative legal research, using statutory and comparative approaches. The results of the study are presented in an analytical descriptive form. The results of the study conclude that first, the equatlisation for the settlement of environmental disputes in the Indonesian PTUN and the ones in Thailand is based on the General Administrative Court Procedure Law as regulated in the laws governing the PTUN of each country, but technical guidelines for resolving environmental disputes in the PTUN are issued by the respective Supreme Courts of each country. Second, the first difference is that the Thai Administrative Court provides special arrangements related to compensation issues which include costs for health problems, costs for damage to natural resources, loss of identity and community arts and culture. Meanwhile, the PTUN Indonesia provides very limited compensation and prioritizes the claim for the validity of the object of dispute. The second difference is that the handling of environmental problems in the Thai Administrative Court examines the substance and facts related to the environment more deeply, so that a real picture of environmental problems is obtained in the field. An in-depth study of the substance, facts, environmental problems in the field is taken into consideration by the judge in making a decision, even though administratively there are no problems. Meanwhile, the dispute resolution in the Indonesian PTUN is administrative and procedural in nature.
