NTT - The Agrarian and Spatial Planning Office/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) of Kupang City noted that as many as 12 thousand hectares of land in Kupang City have been certified.

"We have certified quite a lot of the total 15 thousand hectares of the Kupang City area," said Head of the Kupang City ATR/BPN Office, Eksam Sodak in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Friday, September 22, as reported by Antara.

He conveyed that this was done in connection with the national strategic project government program (PSN) which required the land registration process to be completed in 2024.

Therefore, his party is focused on mapping the land in the capital city of NTT Province for the last three months.

This is included in a program called Complete City, namely complete land mapping, so that all land parcels have been mapped and there are no more vacant land.

The mapping program, he said, aims to avoid conflicts and land disputes in the Kupang City area.

For 2023, the Kupang City ATR/BPN Office also received a target of 12 to 15 thousand hectares of land to be mapped.

"The name is Complete City and we have to finish it within three months, until December," he said.

He conveyed the commitment of the Kupang City ATR/BPN Office to continue to improve services to the community as well as possible, especially in terms of seven priority services.

He also hopes that people should use national strategic program services that continue to exist every year and always increase the number of land included in the PSN from year to year.

In a statement received in Kupang, Friday, September 15, 2023, Minister of ATR/Head of BPN Hadi Tjahjanto said the number of certificates realized for NTT was 1.5 million out of the total 3.9 million certificates that were currently in process.

During his visit to Kupang City, Minister of ATR/Head of BPN Hadi Tjahjanto submitted 16 land certificates as an effort by the Ministry of ATR/BPN to intensify the certification of all land parcels in Indonesia, including the lands of houses of worship.

"We hope that in 2024 at least 80 percent of this certificate program will be close to," said Hadi at the time.
