Urbanization has brought rapid changes and transformations in many aspects of urban processes of many developing countries, including in spatial aspect, in the form of extended spatial formation of the cities into the surroundings, in order to meet the needs of economic and productive processes as well as those of social and consumption processes. Using the case of the growth of Surakarta Metropolitan, this paper aims to deepen understanding on the spatial process of urban population growth in the peripheries of secondary metropolitan that based on medium city size in Java, which is considered as one of the most densest populated in the world. The article will show the process of metropolitanization in Surakarta Metropolitan, in which influenced of its limitness of the administrative jurisdiction of the core area, the the growth extends into the surrounding areas. The analysis employs a time serial analysis by utilizing the national censuses population data from 1990 to 2010, The result shows that the urbanization process in Surakarta leads into a extended spatial form which also characterized by a fragmented phenomena. The spatial urban formation formed by such a process consist of a combination of some extensions of the previous urban areas and the formation of new urban centers that approached and merged one to each other in the long run. This process need to be understood as urbanization process is also a major contributors that shape the resource allocation and consumption of resources in the metropolitan and the surrounding areas. For Indonesia, the understanding of these processes will be very beneficial for the formulation of regional collaboration strategies in developing sustainable urbanization in the future.
Indonesia is home to more than 260 million people and is one of the world’s most rapidly urbanizing countries. Between 1980 and 2010, Indonesia’s urban population grew about fourfold, from 32.8 to 118.3 million. Using data from National Census publications, this article examines the urbanization patterns and trends in urban growth in Indonesia from 1980 to 2010. The urbanization process has increased the number of cities in Indonesia from 50 to 94 and expanded large urban regions. Most of these expanded urban regions are located on the island of Java, including the metropolitan areas of Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Semarang, Malang, Surakarta and Yogyakarta. The article also identifies the emergence of non-statutory towns and new extended urban regions outside the jurisdictions of urban municipalities. The policy implications of the emergence of such urban areas are additionally discussed.
Abstrak:. Kebutuhan untuk bermukim merupakan kebutuhan dasar masyarakat yang harus terpenuhi. Lemahnya penegakan hukum dan penyadaran masyarakat terhadap aspek penataan ruang berimplikasi munculnya kawasan permukiman di berbagai lokasi yang kurang sesuai bagi peruntukannya. Permukiman di Kota Semarang berkembang sangat cepat dan cenderung tidak terarah. Pertambahan luas kawasan terbangun khususnya kawasan permukiman mengindikasikan berkurangnya lahan terbuka hijau dan kawasan resapan. Fenomena ini mulai terlihat dibagian pinggir Kota Semarang. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji perkembangan permukiman di wilayah bagian pinggir kota sebagai upaya pembatasan perkembangan Kota Semarang. Mencakup 10 wilayah kecamatan, selama kurun waktu 10 tahun. Menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dan analisis spasial. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kelengkapan sarana merupakan faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan permukiman. Permukiman cenderung berkembang teratur dengan pola yang seragam. Perkembangan kawasan permukiman juga terjadi pada kawasan resapan dan di lokasi yang tidak sesuai bagi peruntukannya, sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya pembatasan perkembangan permukiman. Masih tersedia beberapa lokasi yang memungkinkan untuk pembangunan permukiman di Kawasan Pinggiran Kota Semarang. Pemerintah perlu menindaklanjuti dengan pemberian informasi kepada masyarakat sehingga perkembangan permukiman sesuai dengan arahan perkembangan kota Kata Kunci: Perkembangan Permukiman, Kawasan Pinggiran, Pusat Kota, Perkembangan Kota Abstract: The need to settle is a basic need of people that must be fulfilled. The weakness of law enforcement and public awareness on the spatial planning implicate the emergence of settlement areas in various locations that are less suitable for its allocation. The settlements in Semarang are growing very fast and tending to be unfocused. The increase of built area especially in residential areas indicates reduced of green open space and the catchment area. This phenomenon begins to appear in the outskirts of Semarang. This study aims to examine the development of settlements in suburbs area as an effort to limit the development of Semarang. It includes 10 districts, over 10 years. This study used descriptive quantitative and spatial analysis. The results showed that the completeness of the factor is the most influential factor on the development of settlements. Settlements tend to develop regularly with a regular pattern. The residential development areas also occur in the catchment area and in locations that are not suitable for allotment, so that limitation efforts should be made on the development of settlements. There are still some locations that are possible for the construction of settlements in the outskirts of Semarang. The government needs to follow up this issue by providing information to the community, so that the development of settlement is in accordance with the direction of urban development
