Community Perspectives on the Implementation of Building Permits (IMB) for Environmental Sustainability in South Jakarta, Indonesia

Building construction will increase along with the increase in population in urban areas. For maintaining the carrying capacity of the environment to remain in balance, it is necessary to have a control instrument in the development of urban areas, one of which is through a Building Permit (IMB). To increase the effectiveness of the policy for implementing the IMB, it is essential to know the public’s perception of the IMB and experts regarding their views. Through interviews, questionnaires, spatial analysis, and AHP, this research is expected to be a material consideration for stakeholders in deciding policies for implementing IMB in South Jakarta. Spatial analysis was used to compare land cover, questionnaires were used to see people’s perceptions of building permits as an instrument for controlling and protecting urban areas, and AHP was used to validate the expert team’s opinion regarding IMB. The increase in green land in South Jakarta, the perception of public awareness in South Jakarta regarding the obligation to build a IMB and its impact on the environment is still high, and the accountability factor of the implementing licensing organization is one of the factors that can increase the effectiveness of the application of a building permit (IMB) in South Jakarta.
