Today, about 1 billion people are estimated to live in 'slums'
worldwide. This number will only grow and urban poverty worsen
unless radical measures are taken. While it is generally
acknowledged in the international development debate that breaking
the circle of poverty requires multiple strategies, there is
renewed attention for approaches that centre on the issue of tenure
security. This means landholders are protected against involuntary
removal from the land on which they reside, unless through due
process of law and payment of proper compensation. The prevailing
approach to the provision of tenure security is land registration.
And while the land registration approach currently dominates
policy, there has been little research into the effects of
registration, particularly in urban areas. What research has been
conducted, contests the benefits of this approach. As a result, we
witness increasing interest in alternative approaches which
generally combine protective administrative or legal measures
against eviction with the provision of basic services and credit
facilities. The author describes and analyses the extent to which
formal, semiformal, and informal tenure arrangements that can be
found in kampongs (typical low-income settlements) in Indonesia
provide tenure security to the country's urban poor, particularly
since 1998, when Indonesia embarked on an ambitious political and
legal reform programme. The author reviews the current legal
framework that applies to urban land tenure in Indonesia. In
addition, based on rich material that was acquired through
empirical research in the city of Bandung, there are a number of
case studies presented in which the urban poor's tenure security
was put to the test. Finally, drawing on statistical data, the
author analyses the urban poor's perceptions regarding their tenure
security and whether and, if so, how this influences their housing
investment behaviour. Following this analysis, the author evaluates
the socio-economic benefits of current approaches to attaining
tenure security. And with these findings, there are policy
suggestions and contributions to theory formation presented to
further the current international development debate on tenure
security. This is a volume in the series of the Meijers Research
Institute and Graduate School of Leiden University. The study is a
part of the Law School's research programme on Securing the rule of
law in a world of multilevel jurisdiction and was conducted as part
of a research project of theVan Vollenhoven Institute for Law,
Governance and Development.
