Menguak Penyebab Kegagalan Program Rusun 1000 Tower. Temasuk Rusun Lokasi Syuting Pengabdi Setan?

Summary

The video discusses a stalled housing project in Bekasi, Indonesia, linked to the failed '1000 Tower' program, which aimed to provide affordable housing for low-income families. The speaker clarifies that the responsibility for the unfinished apartments lies with the private developers, not the government. Despite the program's failure to meet targets, it was intended to support low-income communities through tax incentives and relaxed regulations. The speaker emphasizes that the failure wasn't due to government budget misuse but rather misaligned regulations and socio-economic factors. The government is urged to continue focusing on affordable housing solutions, balancing both physical construction and community needs.

Takeaways

• 😀 The 1000 Tower housing program was launched to provide affordable housing for low-income people (MBR) through the development of simple ownership apartments (rusunami).
• 😀 The Kalimalang Rusun project, located in Bekasi, was abandoned due to a lack of developer funds, not because of government financial mismanagement.
• 😀 The responsibility for abandoned housing projects lies with the developers, as they funded the construction and were incentivized by government subsidies and tax breaks.
• 😀 Only about 13% of the targeted 1000 towers were completed under the program, and many of the completed units were not entirely affordable housing, but mixed with commercial units.
• 😀 Regulatory mismatches between the central and local governments hindered the program's success, particularly in the granting of permits and construction requirements, such as building height limitations.
• 😀 The housing projects, especially apartments, faced challenges due to cultural preferences for landed houses and the impractical locations far from economic hubs, which made commuting difficult for residents.
• 😀 The social and cultural readiness of the target market (low-income people) to transition from traditional housing to apartment living was not adequately addressed in the program design.
• 😀 The failure of the 1000 Tower program should not be misattributed to the misuse of government funds, but rather to issues with developer financing and a lack of thorough planning.
• 😀 The speaker suggests the government should focus on developing more affordable rental apartments (rusunawa) in urban areas to address the housing needs of low-income populations.
• 😀 A key issue in the program's failure was the economic infeasibility for developers due to low profitability, prompting many to abandon their investments midway.
• 😀 The government should reconsider the balance between central and local policies to ensure that affordable housing initiatives are well-aligned with the real needs of low-income communities.

Q & A

What is the main issue discussed in the video?

The main issue discussed is the failure of the 1000 Tower Rusun (apartment) program, specifically the abandonment of the Kalimalang Residen Rusun in Bekasi, and the implications of this failure for the low-income housing sector in Indonesia.

What caused the Kalimalang Residen Rusun to be abandoned?

The Kalimalang Residen Rusun was abandoned due to a lack of funds and the cessation of its construction. It was part of the 1000 Tower Rusun program, but its development was halted, leading to its current state of being incomplete and abandoned.

Who is responsible for the abandonment of the Kalimalang Residen Rusun?

The responsibility for the abandonment of the Kalimalang Residen Rusun lies with the developer, as the project was funded and managed by private developers, not the government. The government provided incentives and subsidies, but the developer failed to complete the project.

What was the goal of the 1000 Tower Rusun program?

The goal of the 1000 Tower Rusun program was to provide affordable housing for low-income families, known as MTR (Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah), so they could live in decent, affordable apartment buildings.

What were the key challenges that led to the failure of the 1000 Tower Rusun program?

Key challenges included mismatched regulations between the central and local governments, the lack of financial incentives for developers, and the mismatch between the housing needs of low-income families and the types of housing being offered. Only 13% of the planned units were completed.

How did the government contribute to the development of the 1000 Tower Rusun program?

The government provided facilitation for the program by offering tax incentives and subsidies for low-income families buying the units. However, the development was primarily funded by private developers, not the government.

What was the role of the local government in the failure of the 1000 Tower Rusun program?

The local government played a role by enforcing regulations that were sometimes incompatible with the central government's guidelines, such as limiting the number of floors that could be built in certain areas, which discouraged developers from completing projects.

What is the current state of the Kalimalang Residen Rusun?

The Kalimalang Residen Rusun is currently incomplete, abandoned, and in a deteriorating condition. It has become a popular but dangerous tourist attraction due to its association with a horror film, but it also poses a safety risk to the surrounding area.

Why did some low-income families not respond positively to the Rusunawa program?

The Rusunawa program, which involves renting apartments, did not appeal to many low-income families because the housing units were often located far from their workplaces, making it difficult for them to maintain their livelihoods. Additionally, cultural preferences for single-family homes over apartments contributed to the lack of interest.

What solutions does the speaker suggest for future housing programs?

The speaker suggests that future housing programs should better integrate social, economic, and cultural considerations, such as ensuring the locations are close to economic activity centers. The government should also focus on building more rental housing (Rusunawa) and address the mismatch between housing types and community needs.
