JAKARTA - Head of Commission D of the DKI DPRD, Ida Maheasy, said that Jakarta could no longer fulfill its obligation to provide 30 percent of its area of green open space (RTH).

As is known, Law No. 26 of 2007 requires a city to provide at least 30 percent of green open space of the area. Meanwhile, currently the new capital city has an open green space of 9 percent.

"Maybe this DKI has 30 percent green zoning? It's almost impossible because now only around 9.2 percent of the green land belongs to the regional government. Now, 30 percent is too impossible," Ida told reporters, Tuesday, November 16.

Therefore, Ida considers the central government's plan to fulfill the obligation of 21 percent of Jakarta's green open space to buffer areas in Jabodetabekpunjur can be a solution.

"If the buffer zone is still possible because the land is still large. Indeed, yesterday we asked the local government to re-communicate with the center," said Ida. This was stated by the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Sofyan Djalil.

Sofyan said that the transfer of the location for making green open space to Puncak, which still has 14 thousand hectares remaining, could be a solution to the limited land that can be used as green open space in the capital city.

"We will change the concept of green open space because now in Jakarta it is impossible to add the remaining 21 percent of green open space. We are looking for the remaining 21 percent in Puncak," said Sofyan, quoted from the official website of the Ministry of ATR/BPN.

Then, Sofyan considers this effort will also be a solution to save the problem of spatial planning in the Puncak area to prevent landslides, but the economic condition remains stable.
