Jakarta – Association of Planning (IAP) asked the government to give serious attention to the spatial planning in the country that the conflict regarding spatial prolonged absence thus hampering economic growth, investment and infrastructure development acceleration.

Chairman IAP period 2013- 2016 Bernardus Djojoputro, say, a conflict regarding spatial happening more and more lately. It was, he said, due to spatial constraints of cross-sector management is not effective.

“spatial conflict prolonged inter-sector may hamper economic growth, investment and infrastructure development. Presidential Decree No. 3/2016 on the Acceleration implementation of the national Strategic project covering 250 national projects and 30 priority projects also stymied the spatial aspects of the rules, “said Bernardus national Congress of the Association of Planning (IAP) in Jakarta, Thursday (3/11).

According to Bernardus, Indonesia, in fact, still held hostage by the overlapping arrangement of land and they focused the translation of space on the mainland. This, he added, causing the vacancy rules, norms, to guide the implementation of the dimensional space of land, underground, sea, under the sea, the air, until the cultural space.

“The government must reinforce its commitment in organizing the management urban and rural, considering that until now has not seen concrete steps with regard to the urban agenda, spatial and villages associated with the vision of the next 20-30 years, “he said.

For example, he said, the case of reclamation of Jakarta bay and evictions of communities in the area of ​​maritime Networking.

“We do not see how the government explicitly include agenda carrying capasity, poverty alleviation, reduction of slums, provision of clean water to the community , as well as the provision of public housing, “said Bernardus.
