title: Examining the Role of a Land Bank Agency in Indonesia's Spatial Planning Practice
creator: Prianggoro, Afwan Anantya
description: The major agenda of Indonesia's land management program is agrarian reform which consolidates and distributes land for social justice. However, instead of strengthening the existing institution and implementing the agrarian reform agenda, Indonesia established a new institution called the Land Bank Agency. This institution can aggravate land management practices in Indonesia because one of its functions is to encourage land for investment and economic growth. Therefore, a major question emerges: Does Indonesia need a Land Bank Agency?  To conduct this research, different aims were created. First, identify the reason for Indonesia's establishment of the Land Bank Agency. Then, explore the operationalization of land banking practices in Indonesia. By identifying the reasons and drawbacks of the current land banking practices, this study is expected to draw recommendations for the Indonesian government to improve land bank policies and practices. This study uses the descriptive explorative analysis with the qualitative inductive method. Data were collected from various scientific literature, publication, mass media, and articles related to land bank practice in Indonesia.  To conclude, it seems that many lands and spatial planning issues could be solved with the existence of the Land Bank Agency. However, to align with the agrarian reform agenda, the Indonesian government needs to revise several land bank objectives because the current land bank authority overlaps with an existing institution.
