Probolinggo City, East Java \u2014 The Probolinggo City Government in East\nJava will coordinate with the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial\nPlanning\/National Land Agency (ATR\/BPN) to resolve land rights issues,\nwhich remain a significant obstacle to the redevelopment of slum\nareas.<\/p>\n
Speaking in the city on Sunday, the Mayor of Probollantgo, Aminuddin,\nstated that these issues are particularly prevalent in the areas\nsurrounding Kali Banger and Wiroborang. \u201cThe problem, specifically\naround Kali Banger and Wiroborang, is still constrained by land rights\nissues. Some areas are located within the river buffer zones. That\nremains the primary obstacle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to the Mayor, resolving land-related aspects is essential\nfor the local government to proceed with optimal regional redevelopment.\n\u201cOnce these issues are resolved, we can continue the restructuring and\naddress the problems associated with slum settlements,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
To eradicate slums in Probolinggo City, several strategies are being\nimplemented, including house renovation (bedah rumah) and area-wide\nredevelopment (bedah kawasan). Through government programmes,\nparticularly via the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR), the\nadministration is designing plans to rejuvenate and reconfigure these\nareas.<\/p>\n
Based on local government data in the Probollinggo City 2025\u20132029\ndevelopment planning document, the area of slum settlements in 2024 was\nrecorded at 21.85 hectares, located in the Mangunharjo and Jati wards.\nThis figure represents a significant decrease from 2020, when the area\nwas recorded at 53.14 hectares.<\/p>\n
Efforts to manage slum areas will also be strengthened through the\nDraft Regional Regulation (Raperda) on Housing and Residential Areas,\nwhich has completed discussions by the Probollinggo City DPRD Special\nCommittee and regional agencies. The results of these discussions were\npresented during a plenary session of the Probollinggo City DPRD on\nSaturday (26\/9).<\/p>\n
Six other draft regulations were also discussed, including the Draft\nRegional Regulation on the Reserve Fund for the Election of Mayor and\nDeputy Mayor, Management of Regional Assets, Food Security, Specific\nWaste Management, Facilitation of the Prevention and Eradication of\nNarcotic Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (P4GN), and the Ease, Protection,\nand Empowerment of Cooperatives.<\/p>\n
Aminuddin noted that the process for these seven draft regulations\nwill continue to follow regulatory stages, including consultations with\nthe East Java Provincial Government. \u201cThe implementation of these seven\ndraft regulations will follow the applicable budgeting and regulatory\nstages. Therefore, the Probollinggo City Government is awaiting the\nconsultation process with the Governor of East Java and the formation of\nimplementing regulations,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/land-rights-issues-hinder-slum-redevelopment-in-probolinggo-city-1790520995", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
