The Jakarta Provincial Government has recorded that the majority of\nthe capital\u2019s residents belong to the middle-transition group. This\nmeans that Jakarta\u2019s residents are not classified as lower-middle class,\nbut they are also not wealthy enough to afford housing.<\/p>\n
Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said that his region is currently\nfacing a housing access gap. Around 49.29 percent of Jakarta\u2019s residents\nare in the middle-transition group or people with certain incomes\n(MBT).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis group has an income above the criteria for low-income\ncommunities (MBR), but faces limited purchasing power to access\ncommercial apartment units,\u201d he said during a plenary meeting with the\nJakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) on Friday\n(21\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
For this reason, the Jakarta Provincial Government is proposing a\nRegional Regulation Draft (Ranperda) on flats (rusun). In the Ranperda,\nthe Jakarta Provincial Government will change the orientation of\ndevelopment from merely physical property towards the concept of public\nhousing. As a result, the housing provided can proportionally\naccommodate the needs of both MBR and MBT.<\/p>\n
Pramono explained that the Ranperda will also facilitate the need for\nhumane urban area planning instruments. One of the challenges Jakarta\ncurrently faces is the existence of slums and horizontal density due to\nlimited land.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis draft regulation includes vertical land consolidation (KTV) as\nan instrument for dense areas with fragmented land ownership and enables\nurban renewal without eviction, so that residents can remain in their\noriginal locations with more adequate housing,\u201d said Pramono.<\/p>\n
He added that the Ranperda is also designed to accommodate mixed-use\nfunctions oriented towards meeting community needs, such as flats,\nmarkets, schools, and other service facilities. In addition, the\nRanperda will also accommodate the development of integrated areas and\ntransit-oriented development (TOD).<\/p>\n
\u201cHousing policy needs to be aligned with national strategic\nprogrammes that include housing financing collaboration with the Public\nHousing Savings (Tapera) scheme and the Housing Financing Liquidity\nFacility (FLPP), as well as synergy with the 3 million houses programme\nto close the cost gap and ensure affordable housing for residents,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the Ranperda will also regulate the institutional\ngovernance of the Association of Owners and Occupants of Flat Units\n(PPPSRS). In this way, the existence of PPPSRS will be more democratic,\ntransparent, and accountable.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe executive hopes that this Ranperda can provide certainty\nregarding the availability of adequate housing for the people of\nJakarta,\u201d said Pramono.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-proposes-regional-regulation-on-flats-to-address-housing-gap-1787320448", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
