Abstract

Following Jakarta’s transition from the capital to a special region, it confronts numerous challenges affecting the Greater Jakarta region. Despite a mandated 30% allocation for green open space, Jakarta’s current provision only reaches 7.56%, according to the 2022 Detailed Spatial Planning Plan. With its new special region status, Jakarta can potentially address this shortfall through collaborative joint claims with surrounding regions. Policy guidelines (Minister of Public Works Number 05/Prt/M/2008) and new law No. 2 of 2024 facilitate such claims, encouraging cooperative preservation and sustainable protection of green spaces. This study, employing the Critical Legal Geography framework, scrutinizes the regulatory framework for Jakarta’s post-capital identity and its efficacy in implementing joint claims for green spaces. This research employed a multifaceted methodology, including literature reviews, webinar and podcast observations, and focus group discussions. Insights from these sources highlight the importance of collaboration among central government, local governments, and stakeholders to maintain ecological equilibrium, safeguard the environment, and foster sustainable development. This collaboration is critical for preserving and establishing green spaces in the Jabodetabekjur region, as well as developing the Green Belt. Implementing joint claims among neighboring cities can satisfy Jakarta’s needs while strengthening the metropolitan green belt and the governance of the Greater Jakarta Region. However, regulatory frameworks alone are insufficient; a shared commitment and understanding are essential to ensuring the sustainability of Greater Jakarta.
