Abstract

The philosophical meaning of balanced housing lies in achieving a harmonious and equitable life among various social strata. To realize this philosophical essence, regulatory engineering is required, aimed at fulfilling the goals of balanced housing. The obligation for balanced housing is theoretically known in the literature of several countries as an inclusionary housing policy. Triggered by the need for residential development in the new capital city (IKN), the Government has "relocated" the previously unfulfilled balanced housing obligation to IKN. The IKN Law explicitly regulates “exceptions to the provisions of legislation in the field of housing and residential areas.” There are three (3) substantive exceptions.

First, developers or business actors may fulfill their balanced housing obligation in the Capital City of Nusantara within a specific timeframe. Second, the obligation may be carried out in accordance with the Detailed Spatial Plan of the Capital City of Nusantara. Third, the law affirms the provision of incentives for housing developers who implement the balanced housing obligation in the new capital.

This policy shift requires follow-up regulations addressing its implications for the local governments of the origin areas: (1) the form of incentives to be received by the originating local governments; (2) conditions that must be met in the originating areas as prerequisites for relocating the balanced housing obligation to IKN; and (3) cooperation and partnership mechanisms between the IKN Authority (OIKN) and regional governments.
