Recent Development in Spatial Planning after the Omnibuslaw Job Creation

Abstract

The Omnibus Law on Job Creation has been ratified. This law is expected to increase investment in Indonesia. The question is, to what extent will this law impact spatial planning and ultimately on environmental management. For this reason, the texts of the old law and the new law are juxtaposed. The research method used is a comparison of legal texts, which is complemented by analysis of samples of various spatial maps and field visits. The findings of this study are as follows. The detailed spatial planning plan is now sufficiently regulated by a regent/mayor regulation. Approval from Regional Parliament (DPRD) is no longer required. The existence of a large-scale map of 1: 5000 is also no longer necessary. If Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR) 1: 5000 is not yet available, the General Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) 1: 50,000 map can also be used as a basis for licensing. Unfortunately, to shorten the process of determining the Spatial Plan, now the supervision of the Geospatial Information Agency is only voluntary, no longer mandatory. The sampling test on map samples and field visits showed that this change could result in space utilization errors and spatial violations due to map accuracy issues.
