REDEFINISI HUKUM PERDATA INDONESIA PADA ERA MODERN: KAJIAN NORMATIF TERHADAP PERUBAHAN POLA KEHIDUPAN MASYARAKAT

Abstract

The development of information technology and globalization has significantly changed the pattern of social life in Indonesia, especially in civil law relations. Modern society increasingly relies on digital systems in economic and social activities, such as electronic transactions, digital contracts, and the use of personal data. These changes have created various new legal issues that cannot yet be fully accommodated by conventional civil law provisions, which still refer to the Dutch colonial Civil Code (KUHPerdata). This study aims to analyze the importance of redefining Indonesian civil law in responding to changes in modern society. The research employs a qualitative method using a library research approach. The main sources of data were obtained from scientific journals, books, academic articles, and relevant laws and regulations related to the research topic. The results show that Indonesian civil law needs to be reformed in order to adapt to technological developments, changes in social values, and the dynamics of modern legal relations. The redefinition of civil law is necessary not only in terms of legal regulations but also in developing concepts, principles, and legal implementation that are more adaptive, responsive, and oriented toward substantive justice. Therefore, the renewal of national civil law is an important step in creating a legal system that is relevant to the needs of modern society while still maintaining the values of Indonesian national law.
