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 acceleration of infrastructure development.

“spatial conflict prolonged inter-sector may hamper economic growth, investment and infrastructure development. Presidential Decree No. 3/2016 on the Acceleration of the 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 Bernard, 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.
