| Summary: |
Structure plans have been used in Indonesia since the 1960s and applied
throughout the regency or municipality and the province as one form of landuse
control, particularly for private land development, to sustain water conservation.
Sleman Regency issued Regulation No. 23 of 1994, an instrument designed to
control massive private land development for housing projects. Furthermore, to
control land development because of the expansion of the city, the local
government established the Office of Land Control Areas (DPPD). This study aims
to investigate the state’s capacity to control land conversion for development
through licensing mechanisms, particularly land conversionfrom wetland /paddy
fields to non-paddy fields. Trend analysis and gap analysis using geographic
information system (GIS) data are used to evaluate differences between
developmental plans and actual land conversion. The results of this study onthe
conversion of village land for rivate housing projects from years 2006-2008
found that 550.05 ha of land has been c onverted, but only 236 ha of land was
converted through the permit process.
