The lack of the detailed plan in spatial planning in Indonesia can Omnibus Law on Job Creation solve the problem

The detailed plan is important as an operational tool to arrange spatial plans. It provides a detailed explanation of the blocks, zones, and areas in a particular district, identifying which areas are opened or closed for particular projects. Without this kind of plan, it is difficult for district administrators to determine whether proposed activities constitute a spatial planning violation. In reality, however, only a few districts have completed the detailed plan due to burdensome requirements and the lack of trained human resources. In 2020, Omnibus Law on Job Creation requires district governments to provide a detailed plan in digital form. Although this Law seems promising, it requires significant reforms in other areas. The Government needs to simplify the process of issuing the district-level detailed plan. Next, high-priority districts should be prioritised in the issuance of the digital map. This kind of map should also be maintained in a strict timeframe. Thereafter, there should be intensive training programs on how to complete a detailed plan for government officials. Finally, the requirement of the production of the digital map should be supported by an increase in the number of qualified planners in Indonesia.
