        "content": "<p>Surabaya - The East Java Provincial Government is preparing\nvolunteers and participatory community movements to accelerate land\ncertification, aiming to provide legal certainty and prevent potential\nagrarian conflicts in society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccelerating land certification requires strong human resource\nsupport. Therefore, through today\u2019s collaboration, we aim to ensure\nadditional manpower to speed up the process in the field,\u201d stated East\nJava Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa in a statement received in\nSurabaya on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that this step is being realised through strengthening\nhuman resources and cross-sector collaboration, including the signing of\na Cooperation Agreement (PKS) between the East Java National Land Agency\n(BPN) and Universitas KH Abdul Chalim.<\/p>\n<p>As a concrete form, the East Java Provincial Government together with\nBPN is preparing around 7,500 volunteers for accelerating land\ncertification, known as laskar karomah, from the santri and student\ncommunities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the East Java Provincial Government together with BPN\nwill also launch the Joint Community Movement for Boundary Marking (Gema\nPatas) and the Joint Movement for Juridical Data Collection (Gema\nPuldadis) to strengthen the land certification acceleration process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf data is not verified and land boundaries are unclear, it has the\npotential to cause disputes. Even land markers can shift. Therefore,\nthese two movements are very important,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the East Java BPN Regional Office, Asep Heri, stated that\nthis cooperation is a strategic step in preparing additional human\nresources to support land certification acceleration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this cooperation agreement, we are designing how to have\nadditional human resources to help accelerate certification, including\ninvolving social-religious elements such as NU and Muslimat NU,\u201d he\nrevealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will soon conduct guidance and training for the 7,500 volunteers\nor laskar karomah in Pacet. They will be equipped to understand what\nneeds to be done and how to assist the land certification process in the\nfield,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Asep, the volunteers will be divided into two main\nroles, namely the collection of physical data and juridical data to\nsupport the land certification process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the field, they will be divided into two: some focusing on\nphysical data such as installing markers, and others handling juridical\ndata such as collecting proof of ownership for the certification\nprocess, both for ownership rights and waqf, including all places of\nworship across religions,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
