The New Urban Agenda (NUA) will focus on the Smart City and Sustainable City as influential forces within urban development over the next 20 years. What constitutes a Smart and Sustainable reflects the peculiarities of contexts, needs, interests and approaches to urban development in different countries and regions of the world. Indonesia, for example has adopted a fairly broad approach to smart and sustainability, which extends beyond ICT infrastructure to include local development and community initiatives that aim to improve urban environments, economics and lives. Yet, none has examined the relationship between the model of Smart and Sustainability in the context of settlement-built environment. This paper is based on results of an interdisciplinary research project on “Kampung Innovation in Support of Smart City”. In the project, architects and anthropologists are collaboratively investigating creative and innovative ventures initiated by Kampung communities in Surabaya. In this paper, we present data gathered to date through participant observation and interviews, and discuss its analysis using six components of the Smart City which highlights the Human Driven Approach (HDM) approach. Findings reveal that these kampung communities are making important contributions to Surabaya’s development as both smart and sustainable city through creative and innovative approaches to meeting local economic, social and cultural needs in their settlement.
The government of Indonesia has committed to support the development of organic agriculture in Indonesia by establishing regulations on Organic Agriculture Systems in 2013. West Sumatra is one of the provinces in Indonesia which is very committed to developing organic agriculture. Before the decree was established, The Department of Agriculture of West Sumatra has allocated on Regional Budget year 2011 to improve the Organic Food Product Incentive by giving an incentive for 250 IDR per kilogram of organic rice. It was expected that it can influence farmers’ decision to recertify their organic products. Unfortunately, the incentive program was not continued in 2015. This research aimed to analyze the impact of government incentives on the sustainability of organic rice farming. The research was conducted in Limapuluh Kota Regency using survey methods. 65 organic rice farmers were interviewed. The research result showed that 80% of respondents agree that organic certification is a benefit for them. 20% of respondents do not think that organic certification is a benefit for their organic rice. As a result, they do not use the incentives for the benefit of organic rice production and organic recertification. 60% of them use it for household needs. Although the incentive program is not continued, 70% of farmers recertify their organic rice with the main reason is that it was the group’s decision. It is suggested that farmer’s motivation to re-certify organic rice should be become a consideration by the government for the development of organic rice farming programs.
Karangsari Urban Village is one of the slum areas recognized in Tuban Regency in 2016. This is because Karangsari Village has a variety of environmental problems, including the highest building irregularity of any village at 300 units per hectare, particularly in areas bordering the beach; the habit of discarding garbage in the sea; and inadequate facilities for washing and toilets (Plan for Settlement of the Karangsari Urban Village Settlement Environment, 2018). As a result, changes were made to the region in 2018, transforming it from light slums to non-slums. However, it is well established from existing study that Karangsari Urban Village is unsustainable in terms of natural capital, physical capital, human capital, economic capital, and social capital. This study defines a set of sustainable livelihoods criteria to ensure that individuals achieve their basic requirements without compromising future generations. The analysis is quantitative, and the fishbone diagram is used to illustrate it. The research produced a set of criteria that must be completed in order for communities, leaders, and government to collaborate on developing sustainable livelihoods that are suited for village conditions. Coastal circumstances must be addressed in a way that balances the needs of nature and civilization, the community must actively participate in and suggest current development, and financial institutions for local communities must be available (both formal and informal).
Abstract. Urban housing renewal aims to get added value while maintaining the sustainability of its environmental function and quality [4]. This research discusses the urban renewal which is done by rebuilding the affected area with walk-up flats. There are four aspects to be considered in achieving sustainability, namely: environmental, social, economic, and cultural [14]. This study is focused on cultural aspect. Sustainable walk-up flats, viewed from the micro context perspective, can later be used as one of the terms of reference in assessing the success of urban renewal projects in Indonesia. Especially in coastal areas, it becomes more challenging because coastal communities have different characteristics and the existing urban renewal flats are not necessarily appropriate for the coastal community. The methods used in this study are explorative, descriptive, ex-post, cross-sectional and synchronic evaluation. This research describes the characteristics of citizens, activities at home and the environment. Thus, the conclusions which are drawn by deductive reasoning are done using frequency, mean, etc. A mixed research method is applied combining with the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data collection and interpretation, including determining quantitative indicators and space design attributes, and qualitative user needs. This research is located in Surabaya as a sample of coastal cities with urban and environmental problems. The results of this study are the findings of indicators, directions, and concepts for Sustainable Housing Development in Coastal Areas which further can be made as scientific recommendation (to support the Housing Theory and Urban Renewal) and contribute to practical guidelines for sustainable low-cost walk-up flats in coastal areas.
Surabaya has several productive kampungs known as KampungUnggulan. One of these is Kampung Lontong which provides rice cakes (lontong) for all of Surabaya. However, the existence of home industries, which are typical of this kampung, has made this settlement polluted and disorganized. Specifically, waste from banana leaves, the main type of rice cake packaging, is scattered around the kampung. The decaying waste gives off a stench and is unsightly. The limited availability of land is one of the causes of this waste problem for the kampung. A waste treatment system is needed to accommodate waste production by maximizing available space. This study uses a post-positivist method by identifying and mapping potential and existing problems.The qualitative method used is a SWOT analysis. The study proposes a concept and strategy for managing waste that can optimize the local institutions and the remaining space in the kampung. In addition, the waste management process is carried out by empowering the community via their local institutions, so that the processing of waste can provide additional income for the residents.
