But still constraints encountered include techinical, such as the relinquishment of the forest area which is still at the official report of the boundary setting area which is still at the official report of the boundary setting stage, the revision of land use plan (RTRW) is still in progress, and some administrative deficiencies can be resolved appropriately with good coordination between that stakeholders involved.
