Abstract
As a regulatory tool, spatial planning is important as it directs socio-economic development and prevents environmental and social damage by commercial and public projects. There should be an integrated spatial management to ensure the effective use of restricted spatial resources, balancing infrastructural, industrial and commercial business development with the available resources, including land, forest, and marine. However, the fragmented approach to spatial management has been thrived since the independence of Indonesia. The newly controversial Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation has emerged a big hope that Indonesia will end the fragmented approach to spatial management. However, this Law seems to maintain this approach by enacting four different governmental regulation for four spatial issues, namely land use planning; forestry; energy and mineral resources; and marine and fishery. This fragmented approach has adverse consequences as it leads to overlapping authorities that may end up with disharmony and conflicting regulations. Besides, the insistence to employ fragmented approach to spatial management has linked to oligarchy issue as shown by old older, new order and the regional autonomy era.

Summary
Spatial planning is crucial as it directs appropriate development and the ability to respond to infrastructure pressure due to increased commercial demand. By planning how spaces within a particular province, city or an entire country are protected, societies can advance the quality of people’s life, create livelihoods, encourage sustainable economic growth, and shield the environment. Spatial planning relies on. Spatial planning regulation covers land use, and social, economic, and environmental considerations by integrating government policies concerned with, among other areas, marine, forestry, agriculture, transport, and energy production.. In the mining, oil, and gas sectors, the central government grants exploitation permits to private companies through production sharing contracts This practice has been continued in the reformation era and the fragmented approach to spatial planning is thriving. The central government has declared Law No 41 of 1999 on Forestry as the legal basis for forestry management in Indonesia, granting monopolistic authority to the Ministry of Forestry to plan, use, and control forest areas in Indonesia. This nation may not move quickly to be able to adapt to the increasingly dynamic and complex world settings
