ATR/BPN Offers Optimised Cooperation to Local Governments Across Lampung
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) has offered strengthened cooperation with regional governments across Lampung Province through nine collaborative programmes in the land and spatial planning sector.
“We are continuing our transformation; public satisfaction is paramount and absolute,” said Dedi Noor Cahyanto, Expert Staff for Land Economics at the ATR/BPN Ministry, in a statement in Jakarta on Friday.
According to him, the step forms part of the ministry’s service transformation to deliver more responsive public services whilst supporting regional development.
Dedi said the transformation undertaken by the ministry focuses not only on improving internal services but also on strengthening coordination with regional governments.
With good coordination, he said, information in the land and spatial planning sector can be conveyed in full and serve as the basis for resolving various issues in the regions.
“The ATR/BPN Ministry wants to change; we want to be your partner. Today’s economic conditions in the regions must be a shared responsibility,” he said at a coordination meeting on optimising cooperation with the Lampung Provincial Government at the Governor’s Office.
Meanwhile, Tri Wibisono, Regional Inspector II at the ATR/BPN Ministry, also urged regional governments to build commitment through structured cooperation.
Such cooperation is directed at supporting three main focal points of regional government authority: strengthening the regional economy and competitiveness, improving the quality of public services through legal certainty, and managing regional finances and assets.
“Today, Lampung Province has the opportunity to build models for implementing this cooperation. I am confident Lampung will later become a role model, particularly on the island of Sumatra,” said Tri.
The nine cooperation programmes offered to regional governments are the result of coordination between the ATR/BPN Ministry and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
The cooperation programme among the three parties will be realised through the integration of the Land Field Identification Number (NIB) with the Tax Object Number (NOP), the integration of land services with public service malls, and the acceleration of land registration.
In addition, cooperation is also focused on accelerating the preparation of Detailed Spatial Plans (RDTR) integrated with the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, implementing a geospatial-based land census, and integrating Sustainable Food Agriculture Zones/Land (KP2B/LP2B) into the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW).
Other programmes include optimising the role of the Agrarian Reform Task Force (GTRA), developing and utilising Land Value Zones (ZNT), and land consolidation to support regional development.
Lampung Governor Rahmat Mirzani Djausal welcomed the initiative, saying the programmes offered by the ATR/BPN Ministry could provide solutions for both regional governments and the public, including easier access to capital for farmers through legal certainty over land.
He invited all regional heads in Lampung Province to support the implementation of this cooperation programme.
“Good collaboration — we support and oversee these nine land programmes optimally, transparently and accountably in our region,” he said.
On this occasion, cooperation commitments were signed by all regents/mayors and the heads of Land Offices across Lampung.
