        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2014 Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and\nRegional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) said central and\nregional governments need to work together to ensure compliance with\nspatial-planning rules, given that Indonesia lies in the Pacific Ring of\nFire.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after a plenary Cabinet meeting in Jakarta on Wednesday\nevening, AHY stressed the need for vigilance, as highlighted by\nPresident Prabowo at the meeting. Indonesia\u2019s location in the Ring of\nFire exposes it to natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic\neruptions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegional spatial planning must therefore be made to comply with all\nthe rules set by the state. The central and regional governments must\nalso work together to ensure that no one disregards spatial plans,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>AHY warned that failure to comply with spatial-planning regulations\ncould increase vulnerability to natural disasters, which occur\nfrequently in Indonesia because of its geographical position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must build resilience into infrastructure development.\nInfrastructure is not just about building more, but also about building\nstronger infrastructure that is more resilient and adaptable to climate\nchange,\u201d AHY added.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, President Prabowo Subianto highlighted the effects of\nchanging weather patterns and Indonesia\u2019s geographical conditions,\nincluding its location in the Ring of Fire, as challenges facing the\ncountry. He made the remarks as he opened the plenary Cabinet\nmeeting.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo noted that Indonesia is an archipelago forming part of the\nPacific Ring of Fire. The region is characterised by active volcanoes\nand constantly moving continental plates, creating a risk of natural\ndisasters.<\/p>\n<p>He said these geographical conditions were among the challenges that\nneeded to be taken into account in governing the country. However, he\nalso said they presented opportunities for Indonesia, including\nrelatively fertile soil and valuable mineral resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough we are in the Ring of Fire, it also produces relatively\nfertile soil, as well as very valuable minerals,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
