(ANTARA-Adeng Bustomi)

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will regulate restrictions on the number of families living in the same address. The plan, one address is only allowed to be inhabited by a maximum of 3 family cards (KK).

Head of the DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Agency (Disdukcapil), Budi Awaluddin admitted that his party was still reviewing the social impacts arising from the restrictions.

"This is still under study. We are still in the formation of the academic paper that we studied together with other OPD (regional apparatus organizations)," Budi told reporters, Sunday, May 26.

The plan is that the policy of limiting one address to a maximum of 3 families will be regulated in the draft regional regulation regarding population.

This Raperda is a derivative rule of Law Number 2 of 2024 concerning the Province of the Special Region of Jakarta (DKJ) which will be ratified in the future.

"This will later enter the regional regulation. So, it is still an academic paper in making regional regulations that we will discuss in this one year. While waiting for Law Number 2, it can be applied later," explained Budi.

As an illustration, when this policy was implemented, the DKI Provincial Government initially synchronized the data of a number of families who live in the same address.

"Indeed, the phenomenon is extraordinary, right. There are up to 20 families, 30 families," he said.

After that, the DKI Provincial Government began to socialize the restriction policy, to check in the field.

The follow-up to the restriction is to request the remaining family of more than 3 families in one address to move to flats (rusun).

"Maybe we can coordinate with the Housing Service, the excess can be in flats or what. Well, we are still reviewing this," said Budi.

It is known that the plan to limit the rule of one house to a maximum of 3 families was previously disclosed by the Regional Secretary (Sekda) of the DKI Jakarta Regional Secretary Joko Agus Setyono in the working meeting of the Governor of the 2024 Main Mitra Praja Regional Cooperation Forum, Saturday, May 19.

Joko explained that this policy was taken with the aim of structuring population in Jakarta when he was no longer the capital city.

"In Jakarta, one address can be up to 13 to 15 families. There is also one house with up to 6 or 9 families. So instead, stay in the house instead. This is extraordinary and may not happen in other areas," said Joko.

"Therefore, we need to limit, we agree together so that one residential address is only allowed to have three family cards," he added.
