Current challenges and strategic directions for land administration system modernisation in Indonesia

Abstract

Digital transformation is vital for modernising Land Administration Systems (LASs), ensuring efficient, transparent, and secure land services. This study evaluates Indonesia’s LAS using the Digital Government Readiness Assessment (DGRA) framework, identifying regulatory gaps, inefficient registration, validation issues, and resource constraints. Inspired by New Zealand, Singapore, and Australia, it recommends standardising parcel identification numbers, updating regulations, adopting new data formats, and enhancing address standards. Additionally, it suggests implementing digital workflows, automation services, and collaborating with the surveying industry. Institutional and organisational improvements are also proposed based on global initiatives.
