Meanwhile, Tanah Tinggi Urban Village Head, Nino Ardiansyah, admitted his area has a different complexity of challenges compared to other urban villages.

Apart from dense population, the issue of land control by non-owners also often complicates the structuring process. Because of this, he always involves RT/RW administrators and other community elements in planning the area.

"Otherwise, we hope the verification result will give us good result," he hoped.
