Jokowi's One Map Policy, Potential Agrarian Conflict Behind
LensaAktual. The one-map policy in the style of President Joko Widodo is expected to be able to overcome overlapping land use in a number of regions. This policy is expected to be a reference for improving ministry or agency data, as well as spatial utilization planning.
Besides being able to resolve overlapping land use, Jokowi said, a one map policy would make development planning more accurate, not only based on data, but also based on detailed maps."One reference, one database, and one geoportal, the point is that there is no overlap, so that there is certainty, so that there is clarity, and there is our consistency in building this country," Jokowi was quoted as saying by the official Setkab website.
Lecturer at the Faculty of Forestry, Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB), Hariadi Kartodihardjo appreciated the effort. According to him, this one map policy can be one of the instruments to overcome the overlapping land that has occurred so far.
That, said Hariadi, is made possible through the presence of an information system that prevents each agency from the ministry / institution to the regional government from making a map of its own territory.
However, Hariadi said, how the government resolves overlapping land ownership and management rights so far is still unanswered.
Because, when the single data on land use is officially published, land managers for both mining and plantations will be clearly identified. So that good planning and procedures are needed in completing the location of land that has been problematic.
Hariadi suggested that the use of licensed land, the government could reinforce its legality. For example, by arranging documents for the release of forest areas. While for land use that violates the rules intentionally, it needs to be brought into the realm of law.
"His claim, right, could have hundreds of millions of hectares of forest, but it could have turned out that there were mining or plantation permits as well as the development of cities and villages. That must be corrected, "Hariadi said.
In addition, Hariadi also advised that the policy of one map is open to the existence of local and indigenous communities.
According to him, the government should also map village areas and customary forests that have been occupied by the community for a long time so that they are no longer called illegal.
"Maps made by the community must be adopted and verified. The government does not have enough capacity to make the map. So it must be open, "Hariadi said.
Meanwhile, Secretary General of the Consortium for Agrarian Reform (KPA) Dewi Kartika reminded that the policy of one map launched by Jokowi would not resolve the issue of overlapping land ownership if the community was not involved in the formulation of the integrated thematic map.
"If the proposed community map is not recognized by the One Map Policy then there will be discrimination against farmers and the community," Dewi said.
Dewi said that agrarian conflicts often occur when there is overlapping land ownership, especially in the case of land use for plantation, mining, and forestry.
According to him, in many cases, often the land that has long been occupied by the community is claimed by other parties for plantation, mining and forest utilization business purposes.
In fact, said Dewi, the land has often become a source of livelihood for the community.
Not to mention, he noted the government often sided with employers when there was a conflict over land ownership.
In addition, Dewi also said that so far the community-owned land ownership maps are often considered bad in terms of mapping methods and techniques. According to him, this was always questioned by the government, which ended in not recognizing maps made by the community.
"Community participatory maps are deemed not to be standard. Even though it is not the duty of farmers and indigenous people to have technology like the government, "said Dewi.
ATR Ministry response
The Head of the Planning and Cooperation Bureau of the Secretariat General of the Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning (ATR) Marison Mocodompis said, solving the problem of overlapping land depends on the data linkages with the realm of other ministries.
Because, he said, this was not only limited to land ownership, but also to natural resources.
Harison also guarantees that the settlement made by the government will be impartial. He claimed that the policy of one map would facilitate efforts to eliminate land overlapping problems.
"On the map of the area there will be one data. So the solution is easier than each ministry has a different map, "Harison said on Thursday night.
However, Harison asked that cases of overlapping land settlement not be linked to land ownership conflicts that often occur between corporations and the community.
He claimed that the one map policy was seen as an effort to compile a database in the form of a map of the area in a single theme.
Harison also clarified why the agency had not yet received a map made in a participatory manner by the community. According to him, this was more due to differences in methods, such as the scale used.
"We are not not accepting, but the techniques used in the mapping must be suitable in order to be able to enter the ministry / agency mapping," Harison said.
In addition, he stressed the findings offered by NGOs that accompanied the community must go through a process of clarification. In a sense, he said, the results of the mapping of the community area need to be matched and verified with a map of the ministry's land ownership.
However, Harison said he was optimistic that this one map policy could overcome agrarian problems that occurred in the community. Because, the single map will contain the location of the conflict that can speed up decision making to resolve it.
