Indonesia : Regional Roads Development Project
The proposed Project will improve strategic national road corridors in northern Kalimantan and southern Java to support economic growth in these two less developed and poorer areas of Indonesia. The rehabilitation, capacity expansion and new construction of highways will strengthen national and regional connectivity, and improve access to markets, job opportunities and social services in four provinces. The national road network in southern Java is incomplete, with some road sections of the southern Trans Java Highway not yet constructed resulting in gaps in network coverage; other sections are constructed below national standards and in poor condition. Improved road infrastructure in southern Java is necessary for removing existing constraints to economic growth and investment in this isolated area. Similarly, road network improvements are needed to support economic development in the less developed and remote districts in northern Kalimantan.

Description | The proposed Project will improve strategic national road corridors in northern Kalimantan and southern Java to support economic growth in these two less developed and poorer areas of Indonesia. The rehabilitation, capacity expansion and new construction of highways will strengthen national and regional connectivity, and improve access to markets, job opportunities and social services in four provinces. The national road network in southern Java is incomplete, with some road sections of the southern Trans Java Highway not yet constructed resulting in gaps in network coverage; other sections are constructed below national standards and in poor condition. Improved road infrastructure in southern Java is necessary for removing existing constraints to economic growth and investment in this isolated area. Similarly, road network improvements are needed to support economic development in the less developed and remote districts in northern Kalimantan. Improved road connections in Kalimantan to the border will also support the Brunei Indonesia Malaysia PhilippinesEast ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) transport initiatives to develop two land-based transport corridors for greater connectivity and reduced transport costs and complement other BIMP-EAGA programs to reduce non-physical barriers to trade by improving customs, immigration, quarantine and security processes. Recognizing the need to protect and preserve the environmentally sensitive areas of Kalimantan, the proposed project will not support any road improvements in this area. | ||||||||
Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Indonesia is a middle-income country, with varied development across its provinces and islands. The government plans to promote sustainable economic growth through a significant increase in infrastructure investment over the next five years. To achieve more equitable development across the country, the government of Indonesia recognizes the urgent need to: (i) improve transport accessibility in the less developed areas, which will also reduce poverty in local communities; and (ii) expand long-term growth opportunities and attract investment through the development of stronger trade ties under regional cooperation initiatives. | ||||||||
Impact | Increased efficiency of road transport supporting integrated and sustainable economic growth along project corridors |

Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
---|---|
Environmental Aspects | The initial environmental examination (IEE) covers a general environmental profile of all subprojects and includes an assessment of potential environmental impacts during various project phases. It includes the environmental management plan with a set of mitigation and management measures to be taken during project implementation to avoid, reduce, mitigate, or compensate for adverse environmental impacts. The subprojects could have some adverse environmental impacts, but they would be short-term, temporary, and reversible; the impacts can be minimized and managed by implementing mitigation measures. No subprojects will pass through conservation forests. One subproject in Java and six in Kalimantan will pass through forests that are protected or used for production, but no tree cutting and land acquisition in such forests will be needed. No rare, threatened, or endangered species of flora and fauna are in or close to the subproject areas. No heritage sites of national and international importance, or sites that are historically or archaeologically sensitive, are in or near the subproject areas. Consultations were conducted from September 2008 to August 2011 involving about 275 people including affected people, community leaders, nongovernment organizations, and national and provincial government officials. The IEE is available to the public through the DGH office and ADB's website. |
Involuntary Resettlement | The TambakmulyoWawar road (38.5 km) is one of the three sections in Central Java. The land acquisition for the first 24 km of TambakmulyoWawar road was completed, for the remaining 14.5 km, a land acquisition and resettlement action plan (LARAP) was prepared. As the resettlement impacts will be significant, this subproject road is classified category A for involuntary resettlement. About 145 households will be severely affected; 106 households will lose at least 10% of their productive land, while 31 houses and 8 shops will be physical displaced. A total of1,400 households will be marginally affected by this subproject. Land acquisition for the other two subprojects in Central Java, has been completed. The 10 subprojects in East Java, and East and West Kalimantan provinces are classified category B for involuntary resettlement. Land acquisition and resettlement impacts will not be significant. LARAPs for East Kalimantan, West Kalimantan, and East Java were prepared. About 530 households will be marginally affected by these 10 subprojects. During the preparation of the LARAPs for all subproject roads, meetings were held with potentially affected households and other stakeholders to determine potential impacts on land, non-land assets, and income of households along the subproject roads. The aim was to elicit concerns and suggestions from the stakeholders to mitigate, if not avoid, these impacts. Key information in the LARAPs was disclosed to the affected people. No site clearing will be done until after DGH and ADB have agreed upon the updated LARAPs and the provisions in the updated LARAPs have been implemented satisfactorily. |
Indigenous Peoples | Ethnic groups, such as Melayu, Chinese, and Dayak, live along the roads in West Kalimantan. They have been integrated into the wider socio-economic and cultural community, while retaining many aspects of their culture. Specific actions related to ethnic groups are included in the LARAPs, such as consultation measures that use local leaders and the traditional grievance redress process for Dayak people. |
Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
During Project Design | Community meetings were held during project preparation. Surveys using structured questionnaires were also used as part of the social analysis and safeguards planning. This provided an understanding of the concerns and constraints facing communities and farmers, and gave people the opportunity to express transport related concerns and opinions of both positive and negative impacts arising from the project and suggestions on how these impacts can be avoided or mitigated. |

Background Information
ADB and the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) are cofinancing with the Government of the Indonesia the Regional Roads Development Project to improve about 476 kilometers (km) of strategic and national roads in four of the country’s provinces: Central Java, East Java, West Kalimantan, and East Kalimantan. Roads were selected based on corridor development and regional connectivity criteria to maximize development impacts and benefits. The project is consistent with the strategic priorities set out in ADB’s Indonesia country partnership strategy, which aims to support investment in transport infrastructure to promote inclusive growth and reduce disparities across less-developed areas of the country.
The rehabilitation and capacity expansion of road corridors aims to strengthen national and regional connectivity and improve access to markets, job opportunities, and social services. Improved road infrastructure in southern Java is necessary to remove existing constraints to economic growth and investment in this isolated area. Similarly, road network improvements are needed to support economic development in less-developed and remote districts in northern Kalimantan. Improved road connections in Kalimantan to the Malaysian border will support the Brunei Darussalam–Indonesia–Malaysia–Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) transport initiatives to develop two land-based transport corridors for greater connectivity. These will reduce transport costs, as well as complement other BIMP-EAGA programs to reduce non-physical barriers to trade, including improving customs, immigration, quarantine, and security.
The project encompasses rehabilitating and widening existing substandard two-lane national highways and strategic roads with asphalt pavement in accordance with updated national standards. The project roads follow existing alignments with some minor deviations from the right-of-way and realignment to comply with national highway standards. The civil works strengthen the existing road pavement and improve road alignments to meet forecast traffic demand. ADB finances about 399 km of the project roads while IsDB financing covers about 77 km of roads. The locations of project roads for each province are shown in Figures 1 and 2. Details of proposed subproject roads are shown in Table 1.

Involuntary resettlement
Approximately 2,000 households along the alignment of the project roads are expected to be affected by land acquisition for the project. The potential impacts are expected to include loss of land and non-land assets as well as relocation of some houses and businesses. The estimated number of affected households is shown in Table 2 below.
The resettlement impacts of the project have been minimized by utilizing existing alignments wherever possible. The project strives to ensure that all people affected are able to maintain and preferably improve their pre-project living standards and income-earning capacity.
Land acquisition and resettlement plans (LARPs) have been prepared to ensure that all impacts associated with land acquisition are identified and mitigated through compensation and assistance measures. The draft LARPs are based on preliminary designs using corridors of impact agreed between the Government of Indonesia and ADB in 2011. These plans will be updated and finalized following the conduct of detailed measurement surveys and census of the affected persons as well as meaningful consultations in the project areas. Their implementation will be closely monitored by the Government of Indonesia and ADB.

Indigenous peoples
The villages alongside several project roads in Sambas and Sanggau District (West Kalimantan) as well as, Bulungan District (East Kalimantan) are occupied by a mix of ethnic groups (e.g., Melayu, Daya, Chinese). In accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) in 2009, indigenous peoples (IP) requirements have been incorporated in the LARPs. While ADB acknowledges the presence of IP communities, site visits as well as community consultations indicate that the IPs in the project areas have become fully integrated into the wider socio-economic and cultural community, while at the same time retaining aspects of their traditional culture. Because IPs in the project area do not constitute isolated, vulnerable people, and because the project will improve existing roads, the preparation of a separate IP Development Plan is not required. Rather, culturally sensitive measures have been incorporated into the LARPs to promote their participation and engagement in meaningful consultation. Moreover, during the updating of LARPs, IPs will be again forming an integral part of the consultation process and meaningful consultation will be undertaken throughout the project implementation.
Environment
None of the project roads are located near or within conservation forests. Three of the project roads in West Kalimantan pass through a total of 14 km of protection forests while four project roads in East Kalimantan pass through approximately 76 km of production forests. However, as the existing road right-of-way in these areas is sufficient for the proposed road works, land acquisition and tree cutting are not required in such forests. Dominant species of trees along these areas are rubber trees and oil palm.
Through consultations with provincial forestry officials and by referring to published studies (e.g., World Database on IUCN Protected Areas, UNESCO‘s Man and Biosphere Reserves Directory, World Bird Data Base 2008 by BirdLife International, Wetland Database of Indonesia by Wetlands International Asia Pacific-Indonesia Programme, IUCN List of Threatened Species), it was confirmed during the preparation of the initial environmental examination (IEE) that the project roads are not located near or within conservation forests and that rare, threatened and endangered flora and fauna species are not present in the project areas. There are also no heritage sites of national or international importance (e.g., UNESCO World Heritage), nor sites which are historically or archaeologically sensitive on or near the project roads.
From September 2008 to August 2011, public consultations have been conducted involving a total of 275 people, composed of affected people, community leaders, nongovernment organizations, and national and provincial government officials. The main issues raised by the stakeholders pertain to potential negative impacts during construction phase such as dust and noise emission, traffic congestion, use of illegally sourced wood for construction, contamination of water resources etc. These concerns have been considered in the IEE and will be addressed through the environmental management plan (EMP) prepared for the project. The implementation of the EMP will be strictly monitored by the Government and ADB. Overall, the results of the consultations were positive, with people considering the significant economic benefits the road will bring to the region.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Regional Roads Development Project
Involuntary Resettlement and Indigenous Peoples
What is a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan?
A Land acquisition and resettlement plan (LARP) is prepared for projects that will have involuntary resettlement impacts. For the Regional Roads Development Project, five draft LARPs were prepared by the Government of Indonesia based on preliminary technical design during project preparation.
The LARPs for all sub projects in East Java, Central Java, West Kalimantan, and North Kalimantan (previously called East Kalimantan) have been implemented. The LARP implementation reports and updated LARPs completed with corrective actions to address the resettlement outstanding issues were submitted to ADB in 2013 and the revised ones were submitted to ADB in December 2014. Detailed status of each LARP is outlined in the table below.
Table: Status of LARP for Each Sub project approved in October 2011

How many households were affected by the project?
A total of 1,998 households who are living, farming, or doing business were and to be affected by the project. This number might change following the latest update of the LARP in North Kalimantan. The total number of AHs per sub project is summarized in the table below.
No | LARP | Number of AHs |
---|---|---|
1 | East Java: Malang District | 54 |
2 | Central Java: Kebumen District | 1,214 |
3 | West Kalimantan: Sambas and Singkawang Districts | 245 |
4 | West Kalimantan: Sanggau District | 387 |
5 | North Kalimantan: Bulungan and Nunukan Districts | 98 |
GRAND TOTAL | 1,998 |
Who are eligible for compensation and assistances under the project?
All displaced persons/affected households and institutions/organizations that satisfy the cut-off date for eligibility are eligible to be compensated and assisted under the project. The cut-off date coincides with the period when the District Land Acquisition Committee (LAC) conducts the detailed measurement survey of assets in the COI. Persons not covered in the DMS are not eligible for compensation and other entitlements, unless they can show proof that they have been inadvertently missed out during the survey or subsequent changes in project design after the survey had taken place (such as changes in road alignment) and caused resettlement impacts that were not covered in the DMS survey.
What kind of compensation and/or assistance have been provided to affected households within the corridor of impact (COI)?
To achieve the project’s overall resettlement objective of ensuring that all people affected are able to maintain and preferably improve their pre-project living standards and income-earning capacity, various types of compensation and assistance have been provided. It should be noted that as resettlement impacts on land and fixed assets, severity of impacts, and vulnerability of households per subproject varies, so are the corresponding entitlements. Some correction actions have been prepared to address the resettlement outstanding issues that include; implementation of livelihood restoration program (LRP) for vulnerable groups and severely AHs for Central Java and East Java, top-up allowance for depreciation of affected structures in West Kalimantan, and additional compensation for land for West Kalimantan (Sambas and Singkawang District) and in North Kalimantan (Bulungan District). The corrective actions are being implemented and expected to be completed by Q3 2015.
The resettlement entitlements from the 5 LARPs are summarized in the table below:
Table 2: Project Entitlement Matrix

Has meaningful consultation been undertaken?
As per the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, meaningful consultation “is a process that (i) begins early in the project preparation stage and is carried out on an ongoing basis throughout the project cycle; (ii) provides timely disclosure of relevant and adequate information that is understandable and readily accessible to affected people; (iii) is undertaken in an atmosphere free of intimidation or coercion; (iv) is gender inclusive and responsive, and tailored to the needs of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups; and (v) enables the incorporation of all relevant views of affected people and other stakeholders into decision making , such as project design, mitigation measures, the sharing of development benefits and opportunities, and implementation issues. Consultation has been carried out in a manner commensurate with the impacts on affected communities.”
The consultation process started as early as the project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) phase. Small group discussions, community meetings, interviews, and consultations with the affected households and communities were carried out and will continue during implementation. Consultations with local communities were conducted in Bahasa, and LARP information brochures in Bahasa were also distributed to the local communities in October 2011. Meaningful consultations with the APs and stakeholders were conducted during the LARP preparation and continued during implementation for all sub projects.
Project information brochures:
- Leaflet for Central Java (Bahasa Indonesia)
- Leaflet for East Kalimantan (Bahasa Indonesia)
- Leaflet for West Kalimantan (Bahasa Indonesia)
Have existing indigenous people communities living inside the project areas and in surrounding areas been considered in the planning process?
Yes. The Project acknowledges the presence of indigenous peoples (IP) communities. Site visits, interviews, and community consultations indicate that the affected IPs have been living, and doing business along the project roads and have become fully integrated into the wider socioeconomic and cultural community, while at the same time retaining aspects of their traditional culture. Where appropriate, specific actions on IPs have been incorporated into LARPs. Moreover, IPs will continue to form an integral part of the consultation process, and meaningful consultation continue to be undertaken throughout the project cycle.
Were women consulted during the planning process? What are the concerns they raised and how will these be addressed by the project to ensure that they will not be disadvantaged?
Yes. Consultations were held with potentially affected women during the planning process and LARP implementation. This process will continue to ensure that their needs and concerns and measures to mitigate impacts are properly addressed. Some measures be adopted will include but not limited to the following:
in conducting the DMS, consultations, and discussions on relocation options, both women and men participate in the process; gender orientation for the project staff and concerned local authorities handling resettlement-related activities will be provided by the gender consultants from the project; and disaggregated monitoring indicators by gender will be developed for monitoring social benefits, economic opportunities, livelihood, and resettlement activities.
Who is responsible for resettlement activities and project implementation?
The Directorate General of Highways (DGH) under the Ministry of Public Works has overall responsibility for the project. DGH established a project management unit (PMU) responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the project and be accountable for technical, safeguards, and financial reporting. DGH has an office responsible for social and environment concerns called Sub-directorate of Environmental Affairs. The Sub-directorate of Environmental Affairs closely works with the PMU on matters and activities pertaining to safeguards requirements.
How will the resettlement activities be monitored and evaluated?
The implementation and effectiveness of the resettlement plan activities has been monitored through internal as well as external processes. Internal monitoring is carried out by the PMU to ensure that plan activities properly conducted in accordance with the project principles. Quarterly internal progress report on LARP implementation were submitted for the period of March – May 2014 and period of June – August 2014.
An external monitoring and evaluation group of qualified experts be mobilized one month prior to commencement of DMS activities. Experts can be from an experienced and reputable research or consulting agency, university, or development NGO. The main objective of external monitoring is to provide an independent periodic review and assessment of the following:
- achievement of resettlement objectives;
- changes in income, living standards, and livelihoods;
- restoration and/or improvement of the economic and social base of the affected people;
- effectiveness and sustainability of entitlements; and
- the need for further mitigation measures.
External monitoring for all LARPs of RRDP were submitted in 2013 and uploaded on ADB’s website. The first semi- annual monitoring report for the 2014 period was submitted to ADB in January 2015.
Is there a grievance redress mechanism?
Yes. The grievance process requires that questions or complaints are first lodged with the relevant district Land Acquisition Committee (LAC). If the matter cannot be resolved at this level, it will then proceed to the bupati (regent) and governor's level. For the indigenous communities, the grievance will be solved where possible using Traditional Law. The adat (indigenous peoples) leaders and local government officials will coordinate closely to ensure that the grievances are heard and satisfactorily addressed following the Traditional Law or through the grievance redress mechanism for this project. No written complaint lodged to the project.
Environment
What are the potential impacts of the project on the environment?
No serious adverse environmental impacts are expected as per the initial environmental examination (IEE). Project roads do not go through conservation forests. In addition, while some of the road sections pass through protection and production forests, land acquisition and cutting of trees will not be required in these areas because the project will be confined within existing roads. The IEE provides colored maps that identify locations of conservation, protection, and production forests as well as the lengths of the forests traversed by the existing roads to be improved under the project.
What is the project doing to mitigate the environmental impacts?
The IEE includes an environmental management plan (EMP) that details the mitigation and monitoring measures to avoid or minimize adverse environmental and social impacts during implementation. DGH and its Sub-Directorate of Environmental Affairs (SDEA), with assistance from the design and supervision consultants (DSC), monitore the contractors' environmental performance with regard to implementation of the EMP. DGH will submit semi-annual reports on EMP implementation to ADB, which will monitor the compliance with the environmental provisions in the loan agreement by reviewing environmental monitoring reports, and by conducting safeguards review missions.
Is there analysis provided about the cumulative, direct, and indirect impacts on forests and existing ecosystems in the vicinity of the project roads?
The proposed project will involve improvements to existing roads. None of the roads go through conservation forests, designated as such for the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity. In East Kalimantan, forests traversed by the road alignments are classified as production forests, where rubber and oil palm trees are cultivated for sustainable forest production. In West Kalimantan and East Java, while some of the roads traverse protection forests, cutting of trees in these areas (as well as in production forests in East Kalimantan) are not required since civil works will be limited within existing roads. Furthermore, as the conservation forests are located away from the project roads and no new roads will be constructed, adverse indirect and cumulative impacts to forests and other ecological resources are not considered substantial.
Is there a grievance redress mechanism for environmental complaints?
The IEE includes a grievance redress mechanism (GRM) to be established during project implementation. The GRM, which will be headed by DGH, is designed to address complaints and concerns of affected people on the technical, social, and environmental aspects of the project. A Local Consultative Group (LCG) will be formed at each provincial level. The LCG will be represented by persons from the women's groups, NGOs, and local communities.
