Housing is one of the basic human needs. Fundamentally, the need for housing cannot be separated from the availability of land. Indeed, since the independence of the Republic of Indonesia, the government has paid great attention to land issues at the national level.
Land has a stake in providing opportunities for the community, especially in terms of fulfilling housing needs. Therefore, the government considers that the provision of public housing and settlements as a government obligation, along with education, health, public works and spatial planning, public order and community protection, and social.
In 1974, the government of Indonesia encouraged regional autonomy in terms of power sharing among the central, provincial and district or city governments (Law No. 5 of 1974). In 2014, Indonesia revised the regional autonomy policy with the Law No. 23 of 2014, where the mandatory affairs regarding basic services in terms of housing is located at the national level (central government), provincial government, and district or city governments.
