According to Head of Public Relations Shamy Ardian, properly installed boundary markers not only protect ownership rights but also facilitate land transactions and inheritance, as stipulated in Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 on Land Registration. Ignoring these boundaries can lead to prolonged legal disputes, financial losses, and damaged community relations, emphasising the importance of obtaining and verifying official land certificates.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - Maintaining land boundaries is an important step to protect\nownership rights while preventing potential conflicts between\nneighbours. The public, particularly those returning to their hometowns\nto celebrate Eid al-Fitr, is advised to ensure their land boundaries are\nclearly visible and securely installed to avoid future legal or social\nissues. Head of the Public Relations and Protocol Bureau of the Ministry\nof Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning\/National Land Agency (ATR\/BPN),\nShamy Ardian, stated that land boundaries, often referred to as boundary\nmarkers, offer numerous benefits. These benefits not only secure the\nland but also simplify land transactions. \u201cWhy must land boundaries be\nmaintained? We need to maintain land boundaries to prevent conflicts\nwith neighbours, protect ownership rights, facilitate buying and selling\nand inheritance, and avoid legal problems,\u201d Shamy said, as quoted by\nKompas.com on Monday (23\/3\/2026). This is regulated under Government\nRegulation (PP) No.\u00a024 of 1997 on Land Registration. The regulation\nstates that to obtain physical data for land registration, the land\nparcel to be mapped must be measured after determining its location and\nboundaries, with boundary markers installed at each corner of the land\nparcel. According to him, neglecting land boundaries can trigger\ndisputes that not only lead to lengthy legal processes but also\nfinancial and social losses. \u201cDo not neglect maintaining land boundaries\nbecause it will result in land disputes that cause prolonged legal\nprocesses and even financial losses. And what is most undesirable is\nthat social relations with neighbours become damaged,\u201d Shamy explained.\nTherefore, Shamy advises the public to start ensuring their land\nboundaries through several simple steps. One of them is installing\npermanent boundary markers. This process should involve neighbouring\nlandowners during the measurement. Shamy emphasised that the existence\nof a land certificate is very important because it contains official\ninformation regarding the location, area, and boundaries of the land\nparcel recognised by the state. \u201cIt is hoped that the public will begin\nchecking their land boundaries to protect assets and avoid problems in\nthe future,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
