PALEMBANG - South Sumatra is targeting 14 districts and cities as targets for installing 21 thousand boundary markers in land parcels as a follow-up to the program of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency of the Republic of Indonesia.

The installation of the boundary markers for the land parcels was carried out simultaneously along with 34 other provinces in a series of programs for the Community Movement for the Installation of Limitatures (Gemapatas) of 1 million land benchmarks nationally, on Friday.

Head of the South Sumatra National Land Agency (BPN) Regional Office, Kalvyn A Sembiring, told reporters in Palembang on Friday that Gemapatas was the first step in the Complete Systematic Land Registration program (PTSL) on all objects and land parcels initiated by Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

According to Kalvyn, the installation of the boundary marker made it easier for his team to measure residents' land and government assets so that a precise and valid certificate could be made.

The 14 regencies and cities targeted for the installation of 21 thousand stakes include Palembang City, Banyuasin Regency, Musi Banyuasin, Musi Rawas, Muara Enim.

Then, North Musi Rawas, Lahat, Empat Lawang, Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir, Ogan Ilir, Ogan Komering Ilir, Ogan Komering Ulu, East Ogan Komering Ulu, South Ogan Komering Ulu.

Thus there will be no more overlapping and there will be a struggle for property rights in the community land sector. Also for government assets, he said, adding that it is also hoped that it can accelerate the PTSL program for local residents.

Meanwhile, South Sumatra Governor Herman Deru said he was optimistic that Gemapatas would have a positive impact on reducing the potential for agrarian conflicts or land disputes in the community because the limits were clear.

What's more, he continued, the boundary sign is a reference for making certificates from BPN for each district and city.

" Minimizing conflict because we know this movement makes the map of land parcels more accurate later," he said.

Deru instructed every regent and mayor together with all regional apparatus organizations, the local TNI/Polri fully support this national movement, including in terms of humane socialization to the community to help BPN officers.

"The affirmation of regional boundaries that are passed by the state gas and oil pipelines must also be a concern, and the green line in the future should not be a problem," he added.
