The encroachment on government land is an issue faced by the Perak state government. This land encroachment problem has caused losses to the state government in terms of revenue. Various solutions have been implemented by the Perak government to address the issue of encroachment, but the issue of encroachment still occurs to this day. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the causes that cause the existing solution to be ineffective and to study alternative solutions to address the issue of encroachment of government land in the state of Perak. To achieve the objectives of the study, a qualitative design was used. Two types of data were obtained, namely primary data and secondary data. Primary data was obtained by interviewing officers from the Enforcement and Technical Unit under the Office of the Director of Lands and Mines Perak to provide an overview of the current situation and feedback on the issue of land encroachment. While for secondary data obtained from extracts of previous studies, newspaper clippings, and related journals. These data are then analysed using descriptive analysis methods. The results of the study found that there are three sources of existing solutions that are ineffective, namely political intervention, limited financial allocation, and security threats from intruders. In addition, there are several alternative solutions that have been proposed, namely the use of technology and the creation of a complete database of encroached land. In conclusion, it is hoped that the findings of this study will benefit all parties, especially the government in addressing the issues of encroachment on land owned by the state government.
