INTRODUCTION Spatial planning is a component of the cycle of plans, benefits, and handling spatial benefits (Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 26 of 2. According to Handoyo, quoted by . stated that the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) is one of the public policies used as a legal umbrella in the development process of an area. Public policy is a guideline formulated by the government to meet the community's needs because the government usually sets public policy. Therefore, the National Spatial Plan (RTRN). Provincial Spatial Plan (RTRWP), and District/City Spatial Plan (RTRWK) as an integral and inseparable unit (Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 26 of 2. , so that planning without a relationship between RTRN. RTRWP, and RTRWK is a failure in Synchronization, regularity, and interrelation between the 3 . plans will make the Spatial Plan achievable. When Journal homepage: https://wsj. westscience-press. com/index. php/wslhr West Science Law and Human Rights referring to Herman Hermit's opinion, which states that RTRWP and RTRWK are manifestations of the principle of justice because the orientation and pattern of supervision and design in the harmonization of the contents of the UUPR have been imbued with the principle of justice . Thus, it is contrary to the law if there are Regional Spatial Plans, namely RTRN. RTRWP, and RTRWK, that do not meet the sense of justice, are not harmonious, are not synchronized, and contradict each other. Related to the above, based on Article 26 Paragraph . of the UUPR, which states, "Regency Spatial Plan is determined by district regional regulations," in 2013 Asahan Regency established Regional Regulations by issuing Asahan Regency Regional Regulation Number 12 of 2013 concerning Asahan Regency Regional Spatial Plan 2013Ae2033 (Asahan Regency Regional Regulation Number 12 of 2. The Regional Regulation, which is abbreviated as Perdataru, if considered based on the year of publication, namely 2013, then if you look at the RTRW of North Sumatra Province, is known to be set in 2017, then, of course, the Civil Regulation of Asahan Regency must revise its Civil Regulation by adjusting the existing rules in the RTRW of North Sumatra Province so that the Asahan Regency Spatial Plan becomes an integral part of the North Sumatra Province RTRW which cannot be separated. This is important considering the synchronization and harmony of existing Spatial Regulations in North Sumatra following UTPR. The fundamental and essential revision is in the objective part of the Asahan Regency Civil Regulation, namely "Realizing a prosperous, prosperous Asahan Regency area based on sustainable and environmentally sound agro " (Regional Regulation of Asahan Regency Number 12 of 2. To achieve this goal, the spatial planning policy of Asahan Regency is "realizing prosperity and welfare by reducing development gaps between subdistrict areas, the availability of safe, comfortable, productive and sustainable regional spaces, and the realization of a quality living environment. " (Regional A Regulation of Asahan Regency Number 12 of Thus, the Civil Regulation of Asahan Regency has been integrated with RTRN and RTRWP, which by the meaning of Article 2 Letter c of the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 26 of 2008 concerning RTRN states, "National spatial planning aims to realize the integration of national, provincial, and district/city spatial " The revision of the Civil Regulation of Asahan Regency is needed to respond to national policies such as the Construction of the Trans Sumatra Toll Road, the Development of Kuala Tanjung Port, the Development of the Teluk Nibung Passenger Port.

Related to the statement above, the Regional Government must also form its regional apparatus as an implementer of existing regulations in this case. Therefore, the issuance of Asahan Regency Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2016 concerning the Establishment of Regional Apparatus of Asahan Regency Article 2 Letter d Number 3 states, "The Public Works and Spatial Planning Office of Asahan Regency (DPUPR) conducts government affairs in the fields of Vol. No. January 2024: pp. West Science Law and Human Rights public works, and spatial planning, landscaping and lighting," then Asahan Regent Regulation Number 50 of 2019 Article 7 Paragraph . states, "In carrying out his duties, the Head of the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office (Ka-DPUPR) must apply the principles of coordination, integration, and synchronization both within the organizational unit and between organizational units.
