arrangement of the master plan, the Ministry of Industry calculates all the
needs of area development, such as infrastructure support, airports, bridges,
roads and other, the coordinated with the relevant ministries for the

sectors, such as renewable natural resources, petrochemicals industry, coal
gasification as producer of methanol, basic metal materials industry and
machinery industry.

these items area included, the industrial areas outside Java will be more
quickly realized. He said that the private sector had seen an opportunity to
occupy the development of 14 areas, but the government must first initiate it
