The meeting was held in order to implement Government Regulation Number 43 of 2021 concerning the Settlement of Spatial Disadvantages, Forest Areas, Permits, and/or Land Rights.

Director of Toponimi and Regional Boundaries of the Ministry of Home Affairs Raziras Rahmadilah emphasized the importance of synergy between various directorates at the Ministry of Home Affairs in maintaining legal certainty and optimizing public services in the regions, including synergizing with regional boundaries.

"In addition to continuously facilitating unspecified regional boundaries, the Ministry of Home Affairs also monitors (supervision) and evaluates post-arrangement," said Raziras as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 23.

He explained that post-implementation supervision and evaluation were carried out as an effort to ensure the suitability of regional boundary arrangements with factual conditions.

According to him, this is important to do in line with developments in mapping techniques and the rate of development in the regions.

"Everything is done in a business framework to continuously improve services to the community, legal certainty in administering government in the regions, based on the spirit of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia which is not divided into regional boundaries," he said.
