corruption• Commodification of Spatial• Social conflict and environmental damages

Some ongoing impact

• Constitutional Court Decision No. 10 /PUU-XII/2014 decided that the mining company to perform its obligations to build smelter.

• provincial spatial planning accommodated public concern on re-arrangement such as settlements, agriculture, smallholder, villages and Customary Forest Area.

• Commission of Corruption Eradication (KPK) evaluated and reviewed all overlapping License because of potential financial loss

• Forest ministry of Indonesia declared that all lakes (both the polluted and natural) in Tayan District are prohibited from any kind of use

• More to come...
