Indonesia’s Ministry of Home Affairs is accelerating the demarcation of village boundaries, currently completed for only 14.4 percent of the country. The effort is focused on three regencies in Southeast Sulawesi province. The Directorate General of Village Government Administration within the Ministry is driving this initiative, utilizing an integrated land administration and spatial planning approach. This push aims to resolve longstanding boundary disputes between villages and improve land management. Slow progress has been a key challenge, prompting the need for increased speed and coordination. The Ministry hopes to significantly increase the percentage of demarcated borders in the coming months through this concentrated effort. This initiative is crucial for regional stability and effective governance at the village level.
