The Impact of Infrastructure Development of Ring Road on Ecological and Social Components Through Land Consolidation Program

The Pekanbaru City Government has launched a project to build the Pekanbaru Ring Road, which will effectively connect one route to another. The construction of the ring road will start from the eastern Tenayan Raya bypass entering through Badak street, and this road will cover a distance of 17 kilometers along the eastern route. During the implementation of the ring road development, the Pekanbaru City Government faces the issue of acquiring land owned by communities that are affected by the construction of the ring road. To address this, the Pekanbaru Government has undertaken Land Consolidation. Land Consolidation is a policy aimed at reorganizing the ownership, possession, use, and utilization of land and space according to spatial planning and providing land for public purposes in order to improve environmental quality and natural resource preservation. This is in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs Number 12 of 2019. Economically, the Land Consolidation project for the Ring Road has increased the value of community-owned lands and improved the income of the people. Socially, the Land Consolidation program for the ring road has the potential to address land conflicts during the development of the Pekanbaru Ring Road.
