Implementation of Complete Systematic Land Registration in Order to Modernize Indonesian Land Administration System
Hendry Yuli WIBOWO,
Indonesian land registration officially started on 1960 at the time when the basic agrarian law
was born. As per 2016, there are estimated 126 million land parcels available in Indonesia.
From 1960 until 2016, only 41.8 million parcels have been registered. From this number, as
the first issue, annually less than one million parcels can be registered. On this speed,
Indonesia needs another 85 years to completely record all unregistered land parcels. Another
issue is data quality. From 41.8 million parcels, estimated only 20 million parcels have been
verified and has been correctly plotted onto the map.
To overcome those issues, the government of Indonesia is now on the way to utilize fit-forpurpose
land administration approach to modernize its land administration system. Fit-forpurpose
land administration concept is arranged by three key principles comprise of spatial
framework, legal framework and institutional framework. This approach has been put into
practice in several countries such as Rwanda and Nepal as participative land registration. FFP
concept is known as optimal and quick approach to build a new paradigm of land
administration system. The implementation of this approach in Indonesia was initialized on
2017. The initiative is a part of national priority program and called Complete Systematic
Land Administration (Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap/PTSL).
Based on official reports, on 2017 the program successfully registers 4.9 million parcels and
map more than 5.4 million. On 2018, it is projected that PTSL will generate 7.5 million
registrations. The number will be increased year by year with the ultimate objective is to
completely map and register all land parcels before 2025. This paper is a note of the ongoing
progress of PTSL throughout 2017 to 2018 and the recent strategies to improve the quality of geospatial data and the implementation for multipurpose cadaster.
