The Impact of Infrastructure Development of Ring Road on Ecological and Social Component Through Land Consolidation Program

Abstract

The relocation of the government center requires the construction of infrastructure facilities, especially the road network. However, in its implementation, land consolidation for road construction often encounters obstacles, so the consolidation process is delayed. This study aims to examine the alignment between the spatial plan of the Pekanbaru City area and the ring road infrastructure development plan. This study uses quantitative and qualitative methods, analyzing the alignment of the spatial layout of the city of Pekanbaru with the road plan through the GIS Web. The results of the study show that in Trase I Tenayan Raya, 20 plots of land do not have clear proof of ownership, 20 plots of land are involved in land disputes, and 3 plots of land reject the land consolidation program for the Pekanbaru city ring road project. In Trase IV B Rumbai, 46 plots of land cannot be continued to the next stage of the Land Consolidation process because they are located in forest areas. In 2020, the Pekanbaru City Regional Spatial Plan has been ratified through Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2020, which covers the period 2020-2040. The Pekanbaru City Government has submitted an application for the release of forest areas. Land that already had rights before the ratification of the RTRW can apply for the release of the Forest Area, and if the rights are granted after the RTRW, the Forest Area can be exchanged. This process is in accordance with SK: 323/Minhut-11/2011, which is based on Government Regulation No. 104/2015 concerning procedures for changing the designation and function of forest areas.
