Context

The Aceh Tamiang District Spatial Plan (RTRW) has been established as a regional regulation (qanun) Number 14 of 2013 concerning the Aceh Tamiang District Regional Spatial Plan 2012-2032. The issuance of the Aceh Tamiang District RTRW has an important role in the development of Aceh Tamiang, especially in the implementation of spatial planning. In practice, the RTRW of Aceh Tamiang is inseparable from deficiencies due to limited data and information at the time of preparation.

Government Regulation Number 21 of 2021 concerning Spatial Planning requires that the Aceh Tamiang District RTRW be revised in accordance with the provisions of this regulation. One of the important points in PP 21/2021 is the simplification of the basic requirements for business licensing while maintaining the quality of spatial planning.

The Job Creation Law (UUCK) has issued its derivative regulations through t Before UUCK business actors recognized location permits, environmental permits and Building Construction Permits (IMB) and Certificates of Eligible Functions (SLF) to obtain Business Permits (PB), now each has changed to Suitability for Space Utilization Activities (KKPR), environmental approvals and Approval Building (PBG)he Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing (P2B2R) through the Risk-Based OSS System.

The purpose of implementing spatial planning in PP 21 of 2021 concerning spatial planning is to integrate various cross-sectoral, cross-regional, and cross-stakeholder interests which are manifested in the preparation of spatial plans, alignment between spatial structures and spatial patterns, alignment between humans and the environment, embodiment of balanced growth and development between regions, as well as the creation of conditions for laws and regulations in the Spatial Planning sector that support the investment climate and ease of doing business.

Basically, experts in the field of spatial planning not only plan the physical development of an area but also plan how to fulfill human needs through comfortable and good spatial planning to accommodate all human needs in it.

Seeing the increasing number of problems or challenges that occur in life at this time, there are also more and more new problems or challenges that must be answered by experts in the field of spatial planning.

This is a moment where spatial planning specialists donate their energy, thoughts, and time in a very large way for the continuity of people’s lives with demands on values, norms, and aesthetics.
