Kemendagri fast-tracks village boundary fixes in 3 Sultra regencies
National definitive village boundary coverage is still just 14.4%, or 10,909 villages, prompting a joint push with ATR/BPN, BIG and the World Bank.
The Home Affairs Ministry is speeding up the confirmation of village boundaries in Muna, Muna Barat and Buton Tengah regencies in Southeast Sulawesi through the Integrated Land Administration and Spatial Planning Project (ILASPP). The move comes after the three regencies still recorded 0% progress, while national coverage of definitive village boundaries stood at just 14.4%, or 10,909 villages, in 2026. La Ode Ahmad P. Bolombo, Director General of Village Government Development, said clear village boundaries are needed for territorial legality, spatial data integration, dispute resolution and public services. The program involves the ATR/BPN Ministry, the Geospatial Information Agency and the World Bank, with support from satellite imagery and spatial mapping to speed up legally certain boundary determinations.
