determination of spatial planning area criteria in the perspective of regionalautonomy to ensure sustainability of land resources (case study in the provinceof east kalimantan and north kalimantan province)

Regional spatial planning is an operational technical policy that must be implemented by localgovernments in an effort to make spatial planning into areas that regulate the use and or management ofnatural resources and the environment for various life interests. its existence as a reference for regionaleconomic development planning. a harmonious and balanced regional arrangement between protectedareas and cultivation areas, as well as a harmonious and balanced arrangement within an area, must beable to accommodate all the interests of regional economic development optimally. this condition is abasic requirement for planning and implementing sustainable development. the importance of a balancebetween economic growth and environmental preservation is a concept that reflects sustainabledevelopment. sustainable development is basically a development strategy that provides a kind ofthreshold at the rate of utilization of natural ecosystems and the natural resources contained therein.aspects underlying the arrangement of the area include legal aspects, physical aspects, aspects ofregional production capability, and aspects of regional economic capacity that can provide legalguarantees and the continued use of the area. as usual, land use planning starts from the preparation of aregional spatial plan (rtrw) as a mandate from: 1) republic of indonesia law number 26 of 2007concerning spatial planning; 2) republic of indonesia law number 32 of 2004 concerning regionalgovernment; and 3) republic of indonesia government regulation no. 26/2008 concerning nationalspatial planning with the same goal, which is to increase and accelerate indonesia's economicdevelopment. approval of the substance by the minister is based on an evaluation of the criteria of thearea that forms the spatial pattern of the cultivation area. the assessment is determined by a ministerialdecree from the ministry of forestry, the ministry of agriculture, the ministry of mining, and theministry of public works and regional prasana settlements. however, there is an impression that eachministry in establishing regional criteria does not coordinate between sectors and does not involve localgovernments, as mandated by the principle of autonomous governance as stated in governmentregulation number 38 of 2007 concerning division of government affairs between governments;provincial government, and regency/city government, mandate that central government policy-makingmust involve local governments.this study was conducted to analyze the policy to determine the criteria of the area in accordancewith the functions and capabilities of the land so that it can be a clear baseline and agreed upon by eachdevelopment sector and can be agreed between sectors and between ministries, the provincialgovernment, and regency / city governments.
