**5.3 The KLHS process in the preparation of the RDTR often becomes an obstacle**

The mandate of the Environmental Law, which included the Strategic Environmental Assessment (KLHS) process in the preparation of the spatial plan, including the RDTR, often slowed down the process of preparing the RDTR. This is because the process that must be followed in preparing the KLHS is also lengthy starting from the appointment of the committee to the entire technical process. What often becomes a problem is the mismatch of funding in the office/body that handles KLHS affairs with the interest of preparing spatial plans, including this RDTR. If the budget for the agency/agency in charge of the KLHS is not available for the preparation of the KLHS, while in spatial planning work there is also no budget available to finance the committee involved in preparing the KLHS within the local government, then the preparation of this KLHS will wait for changes to the Regional Budget Execution Document that allow it to be in accordance with the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget that has been determined. Another obstacle will make the process of preparing the KLHS even longer if the officials at the agency/agency that handles the KLHS are less responsive or have resistance. Resistance will be higher if there is a poor coordinating relationship between the agency/agency in charge of spatial planning and the agency/agency in charge of KLHS. Therefore, bringing these two processes together at one time will be an obstacle, especially for the spatial planning process. It will be more of a problem if the spatial planning process is a crash program that must be completed in a relatively shorter time than the regular process.
