Challenges for the Land Consolidation Program and The Role of Community Participation in Residential Areas

Abstract

In general, implementing land consolidation in big cities in Indonesia is still limited to developing public infrastructures such as road construction and drainage. There have not been many consolidation practices aimed at regulating land use arrangements to provide space for settlements. However, the concept of land consolidation has begun to be paid attention to strategies to increase the demand for housing amid the lack of land availability in urban areas. The purpose of the article is to assess the role of stakeholders in structuring residential land, using secondary data and is supported by interviews as primary data. Through the case study method in Tegalsari Village, Tegal City, the dimensions of the parts of each party were found. It was that all relevant stakeholders must consider more roles. Local governments, academics, practitioners, the private sector, and the community have equally essential functions, requiring mature collaboration to implement land consolidation successfully.
