        "summary": "A Jakarta DPRD legislator from the NasDem faction has called on the DKI Citata Agency and local officials to avoid hasty measures in regulating padel courts, noting that only a few of the approximately 450 courts in the city are problematic and that technical rules like 160-metre setbacks from residential areas are unrealistic given Jakarta's land constraints. He proposes proportional solutions such as restricting operating hours if community approval and parking facilities are in place, while highlighting the positive impact of padel on youth by diverting them from negative behaviours. The regulations, approved by Governor Pramono Anung, include limits on operating hours until 8 PM in residential zones, bans on construction in housing areas, prior permits from the Youth and Sports Agency, mandatory parking, and building permits.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - NasDem faction member of the Jakarta DPRD, Ongen\nSangaji, has urged the DKI Jakarta Cipta Karya, Tata Ruang, and\nPertanahan Agency (Citata), including district heads and village heads,\nnot to act rashly in issuing policies regarding the regulation of padel\ncourts in the capital. \u201cI ask that you do not overdo it by issuing\ncircular letters, especially with threats from district heads to\ndemolish padel courts that have already been built,\u201d Ongen said in\nJakarta on Friday. According to him, out of a total of around 450 padel\ncourts in Jakarta, only a handful are problematic, so the issue does not\nneed to be generalised. Ongen also highlighted technical regulations\nthat he deems unrealistic in practice, including the requirement for a\n160-metre distance from settlements or location on roads with certain\nzone widths. He said the land conditions in Jakarta do not allow for\ncompliance with those rules. \u201cIf we follow those rules, it is clear that\nnone comply. This must be material for more judicious correction,\u201d Ongen\nstated. As a solution, he encourages a more proportional approach,\nincluding restrictions on operating hours if the presence of the courts\nhas community approval and is equipped with parking facilities. On the\nother hand, Ongen views padel sports as bringing positive impacts,\nespecially for young people. The activity is also seen as capable of\ndiverting the younger generation from negative behaviours. Based on the\nrules that have been made and approved by DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono\nAnung, there are at least five requirements for the operation of padel\ncourts. First, operating hours regulations. Pramono Anung strictly\nlimits the operation of padel courts in residential zones to a maximum\nof 8:00 PM WIB. The second rule is the prohibition on establishing padel\ncourts in residential areas. The DKI Provincial Government encourages\npadel courts to be built in commercial areas. The third rule is that\nbefore establishing a padel court, permission must first be obtained\nfrom the DKI Jakarta Youth and Sports Agency. The fourth rule is that\npadel court managers must have parking land, and the fifth rule is that\nmanagers must hold a Building Construction Approval Letter (PBG).<\/p>",
