Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 National Agrarian Reform Agency (BRAN) chief Dedi\nPrasetyo said the agency would fully support the public housing\nprogramme being implemented by the Ministry of Housing and Settlement\nAreas (PKP) by identifying areas and land that could be used.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the newly appointed head of the National Agrarian Reform Agency,\nthe information conveyed by the minister, Mr Maruarar Sirait, and his\nteam regarding land issues will naturally be a priority for us,\u201d Dedi\nsaid during a meeting with the PKP Ministry in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He said the meeting was an initial step towards mapping agrarian\nissues affecting the ministry.<\/p>\n
After receiving information about land problems related to public\nhousing, his agency would work to resolve them, Dedi said.<\/p>\n
BRAN will therefore soon collect data and establish an agrarian\nreform system to provide certainty about which sites can be developed\nfor housing, in support of the three-million-homes programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first step is a single-data system for agrarian reform. This is\nimportant because it provides certainty, including for the Housing\nMinistry, about which sites will be developed for subsidised and\nnon-subsidised housing. That way, the three-million-homes construction\ntarget can be coordinated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Housing and Settlement Areas Minister Maruarar Sirait called\non BRAN to provide certainty on land issues so that everything complied\nwith the applicable regulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe key is simply certainty,\u201d PKP Minister Maruarar Sirait,\npopularly known as Ara, said after meeting BRAN chief Dedi Prasetyo.<\/p>\n
He said agrarian issues needed to be addressed promptly and given\nlegal certainty to prevent prolonged conflicts in the future.<\/p>\n
According to him, regions must map land-use designations, including\nareas for rice fields, housing and sites that could be used for\nenergy.<\/p>\n
Ara said this would help prevent future problems from disrupting\ninvestment or government programmes such as food self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n
He called on BRAN to map land issues, noting that the PKP Ministry\ncould not resolve land-related problems on its own.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bran-chief-pledges-full-support-for-public-housing-programme-1791892612", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
