Accelerating Land Registration in Indonesia

CHRISTELLE VAN DEN BERG, HANHAN LUKMAN SYAHID et all

Indonesia’s president has initiated measures to enhance land administration capacity in
Indonesia. An important ambition in this context is the initial registration of an estimated 85 million individual parcels in a systematic manner by the year 2025. This paper explores the present status of land registration in Indonesia: the legal framework, the actors and their mandates, and the available institutional capacities. One of our conclusions is that the productivity of private sector and government sector surveyor capacity must be substantially
improved to attain the objective set for 2025. ATR/BPN, who is mandated to register and
administer the individual parcels of Indonesia has risen to this challenge and has embarked upon an ambitious scheme to expand capacity, optimize product quality and forge partnerships for process acceleration. This document describes the current challenges and provides an outlook on the potential for acceleration that finding common ground with land registration partners can
bring.
