Abstract

The development of vertical housing in Indonesia is increasing rapidly along with the increasing needs of urban communities for practical and strategic places to live, one of which is through the construction of apartments. However, behind this phenomenon, there are important issues related to the ownership of apartment units in the perspective of Indonesian land law. This article discusses juridically the form of ownership of apartment units through the mechanism of Property Rights on Flat Units (HMSRS), with a case study of Solo Urbana Residence in Surakarta City. In addition, this article also reviews the legal requirements that must be met so that the ownership status of an apartment unit can be considered valid, as well as how legal protection is provided to unit owners in the event of a dispute, both in the administrative, civil and criminal realms. By using normative juridical method and qualitative approach to regulations and legal literature, this article aims to provide understanding to the public to be more vigilant and understand their legal rights in apartment transactions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the needs and planning of flats for workers in the industrial area of ​​Pringapus District, Semarang Regency. Along with the development of the industrial sector in this area, the demand for decent housing for workers is increasing, but has not been balanced by the provision of flats that are in accordance with their needs. Based on demographic data and labor density in the area, this study will identify the conditions of housing needs as well as technical, social, and environmental aspects that need to be considered in planning decent and sustainable flats. The main focus of this study is how an effective flat planning model can be applied, taking into account the economic limitations of workers and the need to create a safe and comfortable residential environment. The method used in this study is normative legal research, which includes an analysis of laws and regulations, government policies, and relevant literature on flat planning for workers in industrial areas. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations for better planning and construction of flats in the Pringapus industrial area, as well as support government policies in providing affordable and decent housing for workers.

Abstract

The delay in issuing Certificate of Ownership for Apartment Units (SHMSRS) by apartment developers in Surabaya has become a chronic issue harming consumers. This study analyzes developers' obligations under Law No. 20 of 2011 on Apartment Buildings and legal remedies available for apartment owners. The research employs a normative juridical approach with case studies on Surabaya apartment projects experiencing SHMSRS delays. Findings indicate that developers are legally required to issue SHMSRS after construction completion and full payment, but enforcement remains weak due to bureaucratic hurdles, developers' financial constraints, and lack of oversight. Apartment owners can pursue litigation (civil lawsuits or class actions) or non-litigation avenues (via Consumer Dispute Resolution Agency/BPSK, Financial Services Authority/OJK, or related agencies). Strengthening inter-agency coordination, streamlining procedures, and empowering consumers are essential to ensure developer compliance.

Abstract

Rapid population growth and limited land in urban areas have encouraged the government to develop vertical housing solutions such as Simple Rental Flats (Rusunawa), one of which is Rusunawa Cingised in Bandung City. The presence of Rusunawa aims to provide decent, safe, and affordable housing for Low-Income Communities (MBR), as well as being part of the city planning strategy, but its implementation in the field still causes various problems, both from legal, social, economic, and technical management aspects. This study aims to explain the legal provisions regarding Rusunawa and examine the effectiveness of utilizing Rusunawa Cingised as a solution for providing housing for MBR. The research method used is normative legal research with a qualitative approach through literature studies, based on secondary data from laws and regulations, books, journals, and related documents. The results of the study show that legally the development of Rusunawa has been supported by various regulations, especially Law Number 20 of 2011 concerning Flats. In practice, Rusunawa Cingised has also made a significant contribution in providing affordable alternative housing amidst limited urban land. However, in terms of the effectiveness of its utilization, Rusunawa Cingised still faces obstacles, although social programs have been designed, implementation in the field has not been fully optimal, both in terms of infrastructure maintenance, resident involvement, and sustainability programs. Therefore, synergy is needed between legal policies, professional management, local government support, and active community participation in order to make Rusunawa an effective and sustainable housing solution for MBR in urban areas.

Abstract

Rusunawa Juwana is a vertical housing project built in 2016 with a total budget of Rp28.9 billion, which came from the allocation of central government funds through the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR). The project was designed to be a housing solution for low-income communities, especially those affected by regular flooding in the Pati region of Central Java, with the hope of improving the quality of life of residents through safe, decent and affordable housing. However, within six years of its operation, the condition of the building suffered from various serious and significant damages, especially leaks on the roof and walls that caused mould and mildew, which not only disturbed the comfort of the residents but also had an impact on their health. This situation has led to low public interest in occupying the residential units, despite the low rent. This article aims to analyse in depth the causes of the malfunction of Rusunawa Juwana, using a descriptive qualitative approach sourced from secondary data, including media reports and relevant public documents. The analysis revealed that these failures were caused by a number of crucial factors, including poor technical planning and supervision in the development process, weak post-development monitoring systems that should ensure building quality and safety, and the lack of maintenance budgets allocated by local governments after management responsibilities were handed over from the central government.

Abstract

Land transformation through agrarian reform as an effort to ensure equitable access to adequate housing, particularly vertical housing (flats) in Cirebon. Agrarian reform is positioned not merely as land redistribution but also as a strategic instrument in providing housing for low-income communities. This approach aims to address land ownership inequality and enhance housing affordability through collaboration between the government and the public. The study demonstrates that agrarian reform can serve as an innovative solution to the housing crisis and social inequality in urban areas.

Abstract

The provision of adequate housing for low-income communities (MBR) in Brebes Regency is a significant challenge in the context of rapid economic and population growth. This article examines the dynamics of the development of Simple Rental Flats (rusunawa) as an affordable housing solution for MBR. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this study explores government policies, challenges faced, and the potential of rusunawa in improving the quality of life of the community. The results of the study indicate that although rusunawa offers accessibility, security, and comfort, there are still obstacles in the socialization and understanding of the community regarding this facility. Therefore, further efforts are needed to improve public information and participation in rusunawa management. This study is expected to provide recommendations for policy makers to create more inclusive and sustainable housing solutions.

Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of Rusunawa Kudu Block H in Semarang City, Indonesia, using secondary data from reliable sources. It explores the broader goals of Simple Rental Flats (Rusunawa) within Indonesia’s national housing policy, focusing on the development of inclusive and affordable urban housing for Low-Income Communities (MBR). The study highlights Semarang as a key case due to its high population density and limited land for housing. Rusunawa Kudu is profiled as a strategic housing complex that improves living conditions for economically disadvantaged groups. Special attention is given to Block H, a recently added structure within the complex, examining its physical condition, residential use, and social development potential. The research uses a literature review and secondary data analysis, drawing on academic publications, government documents, and credible online media. However, limited public data on Block H’s condition and resident demographics constrains deeper analysis. Findings show that Rusunawa Kudu plays a vital role in addressing housing needs for MBR, and the development of Block H signals the local government’s commitment to expanding access to affordable housing. Nonetheless, the lack of transparency and data availability hinders effective monitoring and evaluation. The article concludes by stressing the need for better documentation and open access to public data on social housing projects. Such improvements are crucial for formulating more effective and sustainable housing and urban development policies.

Abstract

This research discusses the juridical aspects of apartment ownership with a focus on the implementation of the provisions of the Right of Ownership over Apartment Units (HMSRS) in Pekalongan City based on Law No. 20 of 2011 on Apartments. The background of this research arises from the issue of limited land in urban areas due to rapid population growth and urbanization, which encourages the need for alternative vertical housing such as apartments. Apartments have become a solution to the housing crisis, particularly for low-income communities (MBR), but the legal implementation in the region often does not fully align with national regulations. This study highlights that the management of Rusunawa in Pekalongan City is still carried out administratively with a rental system, without granting individual ownership rights as stipulated in the law. Through a normative juridical approach, this research examines the legal provisions regarding land status and assesses the extent to which regional regulations and field practices reflect national legal principles. The research results show a discrepancy between lex superior and lex inferior, which can cause legal uncertainty for residents. This research recommends a reformulation of regional policies, an active role for the National Land Agency (BPN) in legal recognition, and the importance of increasing public legal literacy to create a fair and sustainable apartment ownership system.

Abstract

Public preference for landed housing in Semarang City poses a serious challenge to the development of affordable vertical housing, such as apartments. This article analyzes the factors influencing this preference and examines the legal regulations regarding landed housing in Indonesia, particularly in Semarang City. Through a normative legal approach and qualitative data, it is found that cultural factors, social status, land ownership, and minimal public awareness of landed housing influence the low public interest in apartments. Meanwhile, legal regulations regarding landed housing are scattered across various regulations and have not provided concrete solutions to the accessibility of affordable landed housing. Therefore, regulatory harmonization and responsive public policy interventions are needed to address the dynamic housing needs in urban areas like Semarang.
