Indonesia: Improving modern land administration

Kadaster supports the Indonesian National Land Agency, representing the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Land Planning (ATR/BPN) with institutional and technical change. This is needed to deliver a modern land registration system in Indonesia by 2024.

In this way, Indonesia is moving towards a land administration system that meets the social, economic and environmental needs. The agency has been undertaking continuous improvement initiatives, particularly relating to increasing map coverage and digitalisation over recent decades.

Together with Kadaster International we work on improving public trust in our data and give every Indonesian open access.

More about this project

Main goals

Modernizing Land Registration in Indonesia towards 2024.

Anticipated results

By provision of advice, trainings and webinars Kadaster supports in:

Supporting ATR/BPN in its transformation from a data producer to a data management organisation. This requires more entrepreneurship and use of collected data for policy making and other purposes
Building trust of society in the products and services of ATR/BPN via improved data quality and e-services. Kadaster supports ATR/BPN by exploring web based services for customers and proposing quality management processes together with the counterparts.
Scaling up participatory land data acquisition by involving the local communities in the recordation and registration processes.

Our partners

The Indonesian National Land Agency, representing the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Land Planning (ATR/BPN).
A cooperation agreement on Improving Modern Land Registration in Indonesia was signed on 5 August 2020 between Kadaster and the Indonesian Land Agency. This is supported and facilitated by the Embassy and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).

On 13 July 2023, Virgo Eresta Jaya - Director General of Surveying and Mapping, Indonesian Ministry of Spatial Land Planning/National Land Agency, said the following:

“Currently we are finalizing our land covering parcel map to give Indonesian citizens access to their data and provide tenure security. In 2023 we registered in total more than 105 million parcels in Indonesia. Together with Kadaster International we work on improving public trust in our data and give every Indonesian open access. We need knowledge and experience from organizations like the Dutch Kadaster to modernize land administration and seize new opportunities in our field.”
