Abstract

This qualitative literature review examines how fit-for-purpose spatial planning can strengthen palm oil governance in Indonesia by reducing agrarian inequality, preventing land-use conflict, protecting sensitive landscapes, and advancing broad-based welfare. The article argues that many controversies surrounding palm oil are not caused by the crop itself, but by weak spatial governance, insecure tenure, overlapping permits, inadequate recognition of local claims, fragmented institutions, and insufficient integration between production, conservation, and welfare policies. Drawing on recent literature on fit-for-purpose land administration, Indonesian spatial planning, palm oil certification, smallholder inclusion, land conflict, degraded-land allocation, peatland governance, and inclusive landscape governance, the article develops an integrative framework for palm oil spatial reform. The review finds that fit-for-purpose spatial planning can contribute through five mechanisms: spatial recognition, spatial transparency, spatial suitability, spatial inclusion, and spatial adaptability. These mechanisms can help Indonesia align palm oil’s economic contribution with agrarian justice, conflict reduction, ecological protection, and smallholder welfare. The article recommends participatory spatial audits, conflict-risk mapping, differentiated treatment of forest-zone oil palm, degraded-land prioritization, smallholder legality pathways, and landscape-level coordination. The main contribution is to extend fit-for-purpose thinking from land administration into commodity-based spatial governance
