Despite existing efforts, a broader focus on a "waqf regulatory awareness" approach in Banjar City. West Java, is essential. This approach includes not only signage but also the certification of waqf land, strengthening the professionalism of nadzir, and comprehensive legal protection for waqf assets. Realizing the welfare and security of community assets through the signage program is urgent, especially to avoid frequent disputes. This PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1.

Conference program aims not only to establish administrative order but also to standardize the form and specifications of waqf land signage. Waqf, in the Islamic context, is a trust that must be managed properly to provide maximum benefit to the community. 1 Therefore, steps such as mapping waqf assets and professional management are2 crucial. However, the success of the signage program requires cooperation from various stakeholders, including the government, religious institutions, and the community. With a holistic and sustainable approach, the goal of enhancing the welfare of the community can be Regarding the issue of waqf land in Banjar City, there are challenges in implementing the signage program. Currently, only 394 waqf land locations have been certified, while 207 locations still lack certification. Although the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia has opened opportunities for assistance in waqf land signage, its implementation in Banjar City remains far from optimal. Therefore, it is essential to conduct further research on how the signage program can be effectively realized in this region. This is expected to make a significant contribution to the protection of waqf assets and the welfare of the community. This research outlines the importance of the waqf land signage program to protect these assets from potential takeover and misuse. However, there is a need to expand the focus of the study. would be more engaging if it included a more comprehensive approach, namely "waqf regulatory awareness" in Langensari District. This approach encompasses not only signage but also the certification of waqf land, strengthening the professionalism of nadzir, and overall legal protection for waqf assets. Realizing the welfare and security of community assets, such as waqf land, through the waqf land signage program in Langensari District. Banjar City. West Java, is currently urgent. This initiative aims to avoid various disputes related to community assets, such as waqf land in the area. Additionally, achieving the welfare and security of these assets through the signage program is a strategic step for the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Banjar City to ensure administrative order and accountability in the implementation of waqf land signage, as well as to standardize the form and specifications of waqf land signage. Waqf in Islam, which is fundamentally a trust granted by individuals or institutions for the public good, must be managed effectively to maximize benefits for the community. Several steps can be taken to realize the welfare and security of waqf land assets, including mapping waqf assets, collecting legal data, implementing signage, professional management, asset development, education and information dissemination, cooperation with the government and private sector, monitoring and evaluation, and more. However, realizing the welfare and security of community waqf assets through the signage program requires collaboration from various stakeholders, including the government, religious institutions, and the community. With a holistic and sustainable approach, these goals can be achieved to enhance community welfare and utilize waqf as a sustainable resource. Regarding the issues of waqf land in Banjar City, one of the challenges is the suboptimal implementation of the waqf land signage program by the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Banjar. The central government, in this case the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, has opened opportunities for assistance in waqf land signage at several mosques and prayer halls across Indonesia. However, in Banjar City, as of now, the total number of certified waqf land assets is only 394 locations, covering an area of 21. 37 hectares. Through the waqf land signage assistance program.

Conference funding has been allocated via the Directorate of Zakat and Waqf Empowerment at the Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance since 2023. This signage program is not merely a physical renovation but also a preventive measure to protect waqf land from potential takeover and misuse. The total number of waqf land in Indonesia is 440,512 locations, according to data from the Directorate of Zakat and Waqf Empowerment in 2024. The total area of waqf land in Indonesia is 57,263. 69 hectares. The province with the highest number of waqf land is Central Java, with 112,834 locations, followed by West Java with 87,795 locations. In Banjar City. West Java, there are 394 locations of waqf land that have been certified, while 207 locations still lack certification. From the data above, the author concludes that the lack of certification for 207 locations of waqf land in Banjar City, covering a total area of 7. 88 hectares, raises concerns about the legality and security of these community assets. Meanwhile, the waqf land signage program in Banjar City, which falls under the responsibility of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, aims to ensure administrative order regarding waqf land. Therefore, the author believes it is important to conduct research on how to realize the welfare and security of community assets through the waqf land signage program in Banjar City. West Java, particularly for certified waqf land in Langensari District. The strategic steps taken by the Ministry of Religious Affairs regarding waqf land signage aim to protect religious assets. For instance, several regions that have implemented waqf land signage include West Java, with notable areas such as Pangandaran,4 Indramayu. Ciamis, and Banjar City, among others. In other provinces, such as Bengkulu, waqf land signage has also been carried out for several mosques and prayer halls. Various disputes over waqf land have recently arisen in West Java, particularly in Sukabumi, largely due to the actions of certain individuals in the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in Cidahu Sub-District. 6 In Banjar City, specifically in Langensari District, disputes related to waqf land continue to occur. One significant issue is the lack of signage for waqf land designated for mosques, prayer halls, schools/madrassas, pesantren, burial sites, and other places of worship. Based on preliminary observations by the author, many schools and pesantren in Langensari District are located on waqf land that has not yet been signed. Signage is crucial for protecting waqf land from potential takeover and misuse by irresponsible parties. Implementing waqf land signage is also an effort to minimize the frequency of waqf land disputes. The responsibility for this signage falls on the Ministry of Religious Affairs, which aims to safeguard religious assets from such risks. Signage not only provides a layer of physical protection for waqf properties but also raises community awareness about the importance of preserving religious assets like waqf land. Based on observations at 10 of the largest waqf land locations in Langensari District.

This has led the author to be interested in and consider it important to conduct research on the role of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Banjar City in realizing the welfare and security of waqf land assets through the signage program in Langensari District. The signage of waqf land is an effort to protect these assets from potential takeover and misuse by irresponsible individuals. In addition, building a sense of community in protecting waqf land is an integral part of religious heritage. Since 2019, the waqf land signage program has been initiated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, as part of a larger effort to enhance the protection of various religious assets across Indonesia, including in Langensari District. Banjar City. West Java. Based on the background outlined regarding the importance of protecting waqf assets through the signage program and regulatory awareness approach in Banjar City, the author formulates several research questions that will be the focus of this study. These questions include the constraints and challenges faced in implementing the waqf land signage program in Banjar City, the effectiveness of the signage program in protecting waqf land from potential misuse and takeover, and potential solutions to address the challenges in implementing the program. Additionally, this research will also examine the application of the waqf regulatory awareness program to enhance legal protection for waqf assets comprehensively. Through these objectives, the research aims to make a meaningful contribution to the management and protection of waqf assets in Banjar City, as well as to improve community welfare. Literature Review Previous studies related to the research on "Strengthening Waqf Asset Protection through the Papanization and Regulation Awareness Program in Banjar City" were conducted through a review of literature relevant to this theme. The research conducted by Manara and Pani discussed institutional pluralism and land registration as a solution to protecting property rights in poor urban areas. 7 They highlighted the importance of land registration in providing legal protection for property rights, despite challenges in bureaucracy and resource constraints. Although this study focuses on individual property rights, its approach has similarities with this study in terms of the importance of land registration as an instrument of legal protection. 8 Meanwhile.

Conference On the other hand. Sukmana evaluates the literature on waqf funds and provides recommendations related to more effective waqf fund management. 10 This study focuses more on the economic aspects and management of waqf funds, but does not discuss the legal protection or administration aspects of waqf land in detail. Lestari et al. 's research developed a national waqf index in Indonesia with a fuzzy AHP approach to evaluate waqf management. 11 Although this study is important in evaluating the effectiveness of waqf management on a macro scale, it differs from this study which focuses more on the legal protection aspect of waqf land through concrete registration and regulation. Finally. Dallh highlights the philosophy of waqf in Islam and the importance of efficient waqf management for the purpose of welfare distribution. Although this study provides a theoretical perspective on the purpose and benefits of waqf, it does not discuss the application of practical regulations, such as land registration, for the protection of waqf assets. Previous studies related to the research on AuStrengthening Asset Protection of Waqf through the Signage Program and Regulatory Awareness in Banjar CityAy have been conducted through a review of relevant literature on this topic. Research by Ana Indah Lestari emphasizes the importance of ensuring that waqf managers operate within a clear regulatory framework and are supervised by competent authorities, where certification from relevant institutions can indicate the professionalism of waqf managers. 12 Additionally, research by Moh Mahrus discusses essential patterns for protecting waqf assets to ensure the sustainable use of waqf funds according to their intended purposes, as well as the importance of incorporating a spiritual dimension into the daily management of waqf. 13 The waqf land signage program, recognized as a legal protection measure, is deemed necessary to prevent unilateral takeovers,14 and research by Munandar highlights the need for certification of waqf land used for mosques or other buildings. 15 From this literature review, the author concludes that there are both similarities and differences between previous research and this study. both address the protection of waqf land assets, welfare in disputes, and anticipation of waqf land disputes. The main difference lies in the focus of this research, which is on how to realize the welfare and security of waqf land assets through the Signage Program, making legal protection for waqf land assets more comprehensive, beyond mere certification. Several previous studies have discussed various aspects of waqf management and sharia principles in economics.

Overall, despite similarities in terms of emphasizing the importance of asset protection, this study differentiates itself by focusing more on the Islamic legal aspects and management of waqf assets through land registration programs and regulatory awareness. This makes it different from previous studies that have focused more on land theory or administration without considering the application of specific regulations for waqf land.

From the interview results, respondents also reported positive changes in community behavior related to waqf asset management after the implementation of the papanization program. The community became more proactive in involving themselves in asset care and maintenance activities, and were more careful about efforts that could harm waqf interests. This awareness not only strengthens relationships between residents, but also creates a sense of collective responsibility for existing assets. Overall, the papanization program has succeeded in creating a positive impact on protecting waqf land assets in Langensari District. With clear and easily accessible information boards, the community feels more ownership and responsibility for waqf assets. This not only prevents misuse, but also strengthens the sense of community and awareness of the importance of maintaining assets that are beneficial to the wider community. The success of this program shows that collaboration between the government, nadzir, and the community is very important to protect and utilize waqf assets optimally. Implementation of Waqf Regulation Awareness Program for Comprehensive Legal Protection of Waqf Assets in Banjar City This section explains the efforts to implement a waqf regulation awareness program. The explanation includes the level of public understanding of existing regulations, training that has been carried out, and recommendations to increase legal awareness of waqf assets. The implementation of the regulation awareness program has been carried out, but there is still much that needs to be Many people are not familiar with the regulations governing waqf.

Kiyai Mualim also emphasized the need for a more structured program to educate the public about existing laws and regulations. 42 Dr. Moh. Syarif Hidayat stated that "Meetings must be more intensive to facilitate these matters," emphasizing the importance of good communication between all parties. 43 Although the regulation awareness program has been started, the main challenge faced is the lack of public familiarity with the regulations governing waqf. The results of interviews with a number of respondents showed that many did not fully understand the rights and obligations related to the management of waqf assets. Azmi stated, "Training and socialization about regulations are very important to increase public legal awareness". 44 This shows that there is still an urgent need to provide clearer and more detailed information about the applicable rules. Kiyai Syamsudin also emphasized the importance of a more structured program to educate the public about existing laws and regulations. In his view, without adequate understanding, the public will have difficulty in protecting their rights to waqf assets. "We need to hold seminars or workshops Mualim.

Conference that focus on waqf regulations," he said. 45 In this way, the public will not only gain knowledge about regulations, but can also discuss directly with competent speakers in their fields. The training that has been implemented is expected to bridge the knowledge gap. Several training activities have been held, but community participation still needs to be improved. Evaluation of previous training programs shows that the community is still hesitant to participate due to the lack of information about the benefits that can be obtained from participating in these activities. Therefore, more active promotional efforts are needed to attract the attention of the community and encourage them to get involved. As a recommendation to increase legal awareness of waqf assets, it is important to develop educational materials that are easy to understand and relevant to the daily lives of the The use of social media and digital platforms can also be utilized to disseminate information more widely.

The constraints faced in the implementation of the papanization program include administrative challenges and a lack of community awareness. One respondent states, "The community's ignorance about waqf regulations is one of the main obstacles. Another respondent also states, "The community's ignorance about waqf regulations is one of the main obstacles. " Kiyai Mualim adds, "Support from related institutions is also lacking, which makes waqf managers reluctant to carry out papanization. " 47 Dr. Moh. Syarif Hidayat adds, "The lack of community awareness also plays a significant role in the implementation of this program," indicating that there is a need for greater educational efforts. The main obstacle in implementing the boarding program is the complex administrative The application and approval process is often hampered by complicated bureaucracy. One respondent. Azmi, stated, "The public's ignorance about waqf regulations is one of the main "49 This shows that the public is not only lacking information, but also does not understand the importance of existing regulations for the protection of waqf assets. Kiyai Mualim added that support from related institutions was also very lacking, which made waqf administrators reluctant to implement the boarding. Without institutional support, efforts to protect waqf assets through the installation of boards would be difficult.

Conference increase the effectiveness of the program. Dr. Moh. Syarif Hidayat also emphasized the important role of public awareness, stating, "Lack of public awareness also plays a big role in the implementation of this program". 51 Without adequate understanding of the benefits and importance of papanisasi, the community may not feel motivated to actively participate. This suggests that more intensive education and information campaigns are needed to explain the value of this program. Overall, to overcome the obstacles and challenges in implementing the boarding program, a comprehensive approach is needed. This involves increasing public awareness through education, as well as stronger support from related institutions to ensure that the boarding process can be carried out more smoothly and effectively. Thus, all parties can contribute to protecting waqf assets in Langensari District. From the perspective of Islamic Legal System Theory, this obstacle can be seen as a failure to integrate interrelated legal, social, and administrative elements. Kiyai Mualim added, "Support from related institutions is also lacking, which makes waqf administrators reluctant to carry out boarding. " This shows that without synergy between institutions, program implementation will be hampered. The Regulatory Compliance Theory explains that public awareness of waqf regulations affects their compliance. Dr. Moh. Syarif Hidayat emphasized that "Lack of public awareness also plays a major role in the implementation of this program," indicating the need for effective socialization to improve understanding and compliance with regulations. Overall, to overcome the obstacles and challenges in implementing the papanization program, a comprehensive approach is needed, including more intensive education and stronger support from related institutions. This will strengthen the protection of waqf assets in Langensari District. In this context, the Regulatory Compliance Theory is also very relevant. This theory identifies how existing regulations are complied with. Respondent Kiyai Mualim added, "Many nadzhirs do not know the waqf regulations well," indicating a lack of knowledge and training regarding regulations as a factor that hinders compliance. This is in line with Stanley Milgram's view regarding individual compliance with the rules set. Overall, to overcome the obstacles in the implementation of the land boarding program, a comprehensive approach is needed that includes education and synergy between institutions. Thus, the author concludes that the implementation of the land boarding program in Langensari District faces various obstacles and challenges. First, complex administrative challenges are often the main obstacle. The application and approval process is delayed due to complicated bureaucracy, which makes many nadzhirs feel frustrated. This is reinforced by the statement of Kiyai Mualim who mentioned the lack of support from related institutions, which adds to the burden of waqf administrators to carry out boarding. Second, the lack of public awareness of waqf regulations is a significant obstacle. Respondents such as N. Azmi and Dr. Moh. Syarif Hidayat stated that the public's lack of understanding of waqf law resulted in them not feeling involved in the asset protection process. Lack of intensive education among the community causes them to not know the importance of boarding to protect waqf land. Third, to overcome this obstacle, a comprehensive approach is needed that involves education and support from related institutions. Public awareness needs to be increased through educational programs that explain the benefits of boarding and the importance of regulations. Synergy between the community and institutions is very important to ensure that the implementation of the boarding program can be carried out more effectively.

Ahmad Zulfi Fahmi also added an important perspective, that although the boarding is considered effective, "Community support is also crucial for the success of this program". 56 Active participation from the community, including in maintaining and supervising waqf assets, is key to ensuring that this program not only runs, but also provides the expected impact. With collaboration between nadzhir, the community, and related institutions, the boarding program can provide better protection for waqf assets. Therefore, although the papanization program shows positive results, a systematic evaluation is needed to identify areas that need improvement. Efforts to increase public understanding of the importance of their role in maintaining waqf assets must also be intensified.
