This research aims to explore the tension between technocratic state legal norms and customary norms (local wisdom) in the process of recognizing the living spaces of indigenous communities in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN). Through the lens of group dynamics and legal pluralism, this study dissects how administrative verification mechanisms often fail to capture the sociological existence of unwritten customary law. Utilizing a qualitative single case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 122 Multiple Helix informants and legal documentation studies. The research findings reveal the phenomenon of "administrative violence," where the requirement for proof of customary land (ulayat) in the form of digital maps and formal documents becomes an existential barrier for local communities. Although IKN has successfully instilled modern disciplinary norms, there is a massive gap in embracing authentic socio-cultural legitimacy. The research recommends the relaxation of customary evidentiary requirements based on oral testimony and anthropological evidence to realize a just "City for All" vision.
