JAKARTA – Director of Urban Lab Tarumanegara University Ing Jo Santoso, said, Indonesia will face major challenges in the provision of housing. Up to 35 years into the future, Indonesia needs 1.2 million hectares (ha) of land for settlement.
“The provision of this land will be difficult in the city because the price is not affordable. Finally, developers build houses in the suburbs far from the city center. The problem is in the city at this time of 30,000 hectares of land have been owned by several parties, “said he, in a seminar Urbanization, Urban Housing, and Housing Finance in Indonesia in Jakarta, Monday (7/11).
Jo said the government could take a variety of alternative steps to overcome these problems. Indonesia needs one main authority in charge of the settlement issue.
“If now there is no governing housing. Problems settlements still being worked on separately, better financing, lending, and setting the building permit. In addition, this issue is not resolved completely, and in accordance root of the problem, “he said.
In addition, said Jo, the government must hold the private sector in providing shelter. In particular, housing for workers in urban areas. Furthermore, local governments must take an active role in the construction of housing.
He said, the issue of housing is still not received a large portion of attention from the local government. It can be seen from at least governments that have a working unit (SKPD) specifically addressing housing.
“With the decentralization laws now, all the authorities virtually handed over to the area, but now we have seen in the area of how many who have official housing , we were surprised that the 1% just is not there, “he said.
Jo explained that the government is not prepared to deal with urbanization. So that population growth in urbanization is not supported urban development and housing.
