The Suitability of Building Permit Proposal and Implementation in Kecamatan Makale Kabupaten Tana Toraja

Abstract

The development of a city is always influenced by the activities of the community which requiredland for the activities to take place. Limited land availability demanded a sound control mechanismto ensure the sustainability of the economic growth. The general society has not yet fullyunderstood Building Permit (Izin Mendirikan Bangunan ‐ IMB) as the instrument of control ofspatial use, resulting in mismatches between the actual building and the one proposed in the IMB.This research aimed to find the factors driving the mismatches in the IMB implementation withinthe local Makale community’s understanding to concept of IMB. The study employed quantitativedescriptive methods using frequency distribution tables and factor analysis. Factor analysis showedhow lack of understanding and awareness in the concept of IMB, together with poor policy andexecution by the local government have prevented the fully implementation. Some of theviolations found included total building area, building function, Basic Structural Coefficient(Koefisien Dasar Bangunan ‐ KDB), Building Line (Garis Sempadan Bangunan ‐ GSB), and River Line(Garis Sempadan Sungai ‐ GSS). The study concluded the need for IMB awareness promotionthrough socialization along with the technical procedures, enhancement of IMB monitoring andevaluation processes, finalization of IMB as regional regulation, and enforcement.Keywords: city development, land use control, IMB, law enforcement
