Klungkung Regent I Made Satria has confirmed that he will immediately\nprocess the provision of new land for SMP Negeri 4 Semarapura. This\ncommitment underscores the Klungkung Regency Government\u2019s move to end\nthe school facility crisis, which has long stood on privately owned land\nunder a right-of-use agreement.<\/p>\n
To resolve the problem of limited learning space, the Klungkung\nRegency Government is ready to utilise land owned by the Bali Provincial\nGovernment in Selat Village, Klungkung District.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course it can be built, but not all of it. Because the land is\nquite extensive, we will adjust it to the needs of the junior high\nschool later. We will proceed immediately; we are not targeting when it\nwill be finished, but we are proceeding. There are no obstacles,\nhopefully as soon as possible,\u201d said Satria when met after leading the\n81st Indonesian Independence Day commemoration ceremony at Ida Dewa\nAgung Jambe Square on Monday (17\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
In addition to processing the provincial land, Satria also\nhighlighted the importance of administrative clarity regarding the\nrelease of land rights for public facilities so that it has\nblack-and-white legality. The Klungkung Regency Government is committed\nto completing the land rights release process without a\nsale-and-purchase scheme, but rather through a persuasive approach and\nreward options for landowners.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed, in the past there was a slight shortcoming on the part of\nthe government, in how it used land without black-and-white\ndocumentation of the release of rights for public facility purposes,\nespecially for this school\u2019s educational facilities,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe form of the reward later, for example, could be special\ntreatment for their family, tax exemptions, and so on. We are trying to\nprovide understanding to the community members whose land was perhaps\nvoluntarily given by their grandparents, so that they also appreciate\nthe ancestors who relinquished the land for the sake of the school,\u201d\nSatria added.<\/p>\n
Indeed, to date no residents have specifically requested\ncompensation. Therefore, his party is optimistic that the persuasive\napproach can resolve asset certainty at several schools in Gumi\nSerombotan.<\/p>\n
The Regent\u2019s assurance answers the problems experienced by SMPN 4\nSemarapura. Previously, Commission III of the Klungkung Regional House\nof Representatives directly inspected the school as well as the Bali\nProvincial Government land managed by the Klungkung Agriculture Office\nin Selat Village on Thursday (13\/8).<\/p>\n
Vice Head of Public Relations of SMP Negeri 4 Semarapura, I Nengah\nSuratmaja, revealed that learning activities have so far been\naccommodated on privately owned land with right-of-use status by SD\nNegeri 2 Selat.<\/p>\n
This condition makes it difficult for the school to obtain physical\nassistance and forces students to attend in the afternoon on a rotating\nbasis.<\/p>\n
\u201cSMPN 4 Semarapura does not yet have its own building; the building\nbelongs to the primary school. We cannot carry out development under the\ncurrent conditions,\u201d Suratmaja explained.<\/p>\n
The relocation plan was actually initiated in 2024 by the school\ntogether with community representatives from Selat, Akah, Selisihan, and\nTegak villages. The request was resubmitted to the Klungkung Regent at\nthe end of 2025, proposing approximately two hectares of Bali Provincial\nGovernment land in Selat Village.<\/p>\n
Full support was also conveyed by the Chair of Commission III of the\nKlungkung Regional House of Representatives, Komang Sutama. His party is\nready to oversee the land utilisation process at the Klungkung\nEducation, Youth and Sports Office so that the relocation can be\nrealised soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis week we plan to meet with the Education Office to ask how far\nthe land resolution has progressed. Commission III is ready to oversee\nthe realisation of a representative school. Moreover, this school is\nsupported by four villages with a large number of students, so that\nchildren no longer need to force themselves to attend school in the\ncity,\u201d Sutama asserted.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/regent-satria-secures-new-land-for-smpn-4-semarapura-1786960295", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
