1. Initial Context
Indonesian Original:
Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) sejak awal masa pemerintahannya menaruh perhatian besar terhadap pengurusan sertifikat tanah masyarakat, terutama bagi warga yang tanahnya belum memiliki akta atau sertifikat hak milik (SHM) yang sah secara hukum.
English Translation:
President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), since the beginning of his administration, has placed great attention on the process of issuing community land certificates, especially for citizens whose land does not yet have a legally valid deed or a Certificate of Ownership Rights (SHM).
2. Policy Summary
🟢 Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) Program
- Launched by: Jokowi through ATR/BPN.
- Goal: All parcels of land registered and certified.
- Cost: Free or very low cost.
- Target: Communities without certificates (inherited land, girik, letter C, etc.).
National Target: ~126 million parcels; all certified before 2025.
🟢 Land Certificate Distribution Program
- Jokowi personally hands over certificates in various regions.
- Goal: Ensure clear legal ownership and prevent disputes.
“Once you hold the certificate, no one can claim that the land belongs to them. It is clear and legally valid.”
🟢 Benefits Emphasized by Jokowi
