A study by Ida Ayu Sri Onie Ledysianty, I Dewa Gede Agung Diasana Putra, Ngakan Ketut Acwin Dwijendra, and Anak Agung Gde Agung Yana from the Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University highlights how Indonesia’s digital building permit system can be strengthened through a risk- and performance-based approach. The research, published in 2026 in the International Journal of Integrated Science and Technology (IJIST), analyzes the implementation of the Building Management Information System (SIMBG) in Gianyar Regency, Bali, and proposes an integrative model to support more effective and sustainable building governance.
SIMBG is a national digital platform used by the Indonesian government to process Building Approval (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung/PBG) and Certificates of Proper Function (Sertifikat Laik Fungsi/SLF). The system is part of the country’s broader initiative to digitalize public services. However, in practice, many local governments still face operational challenges when implementing the system.
In Gianyar Regency, an area experiencing rapid tourism growth and infrastructure development, the implementation of SIMBG has not yet reached its full potential. The number of building permit applications continues to increase, but the issuance of proper function certificates remains relatively low. This imbalance indicates bottlenecks in the technical evaluation and verification process.
Additional issues also arise from spatial planning violations, such as construction within river buffer zones, green open spaces, or disaster-prone areas. Although spatial planning documents like the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) and Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR) already exist, their integration with SIMBG remains limited. As a result, building permit decisions are not always fully supported by spatial data.
To examine these challenges, the research team from Udayana University conducted a comprehensive study using surveys, interviews, field observations, and focus group discussions (FGDs). The collected data were analyzed using both statistical and qualitative approaches to capture the real conditions of SIMBG implementation.
The study identified several key findings:
- Building risk classification significantly influences the effectiveness of the licensing process.
- Building performance indicators improve the accuracy of technical evaluations before certificates are issued.
- Integration of Balinese local wisdom, including Tri Hita Karana and Asta Kosala Kosali, strengthens sustainable development principles.
- The proposed integrative model improves decision-making accuracy, regulatory compliance, and transparency in building permit management.
Based on these findings, the researchers developed an integrative SIMBG model based on risk and performance indicators. The model allows local governments to combine technical assessments, spatial data, and cultural values into a single digital governance framework.
According to Ida Ayu Sri Onie Ledysianty of Udayana University, integrating risk factors, building performance metrics, and local cultural values enables government institutions to make more precise decisions in managing urban development. This approach not only improves the efficiency of digital systems but also ensures safer and more sustainable construction practices.
From a public policy perspective, the study contributes to the development of digital governance in the construction sector. The proposed model could be applied in other regions of Indonesia facing similar challenges in managing building permits and urban development.
For communities and the construction industry, a more integrated system could accelerate permit processing while ensuring that buildings meet safety standards, functional requirements, and spatial planning regulations.
