“…Buchori and Sugiri (2016) have done a theoretical analysis of sustainable and unsustainable situation by combining environmental economic analysis (Pearce and Turner, 1990) and threshold and environmental limits (Munro 1995;Kozlowski, 1993;Daly, 1991). (Buchori and Sugiri, 2016) In Fig. 3, environmental damage is simplified by the level of pollution or waste, or GHG emissions if it relates to climate change.…”

In dealing with pollution or emission, including in encouraging Low Emission Development (LED) as an acceptable strategy for climate change mitigation, Indonesia applies Command and Control (CAC) approach through regulations on environmental and pollution standards. However, the enforcement is characterized by weak monitoring and controlling due to aspects like non-compliant industries and lack of personnel and equipment of the corresponding agencies. Introducing Market Based Instruments (MBIs) can help better achievement in LED as evidenced in the USA, Australia, Taiwan, South Korea and Thailand. This study aims to answer the question "how can the Central Java Provincial Government (CJPG) facilitate better LED through the application of MBIs in the industrial sector?" The approach is qualitative through in-depth interviews with key persons from the CJPG and manufacturing industries with high rate of greenhouse gas emissions in Semarang and Surakarta metropolitans as the two largest industrial centers in Central Java. The results show that the CJPG cannot apply MBI approach in its purely theoretically forms. Instead, it is the principle, which is in accordance with the Equity-Based Development model that should be integrated into the CAC application, i.e., the polluters pay principle. The existing programs, like PROPER, should be refined conceptually and enforced more widely to accommodate 'internalizing the externality' principle better. More industries should be encouraged to participate in such programs.

“…This concept can also help design and plan urban green infrastructures, urban ecology in green lifestyles and systems integration. The term "green" is used to show more care and attention to environmental issues, including environmental thresholds and limits, as well as climate change [1]. Therefore, an eco-village is defined as a full-featured settlement that implements human activities of the environment with social, economic, ecological, and spiritual measures to move a community towards sustainability in the 21st century.…”

Abstract:The goal of the Global Eco-village Network (GEN) is to create and promote sustainable human settlements that allow people to live more comfortably. However, an eco-village cannot exist without the support of the local government and the community. A village (kelurahan) is expected to recognize and implement a settlement's environmental management by maintaining environmentally friendly behavior in daily activities. Gayamsari is a kelurahan in Semarang City that has been implementing the eco-village concept. This study aims to explain, through quantitative descriptive analysis, the extent at which the eco-village aspects are achieved by local and institutional participation in Gayamsari. The idea of an eco-village is to bring harmony to the three pillars of sustainable development-the social, economic, and ecological components-to create a sustainable living environment. However, the results show that Gayamsari needs improvement, especially in terms of ensuring a safe and comfortable environment, which can be achieved through strengthening the participation of both the community and local institutions.

“…The Ministry requires that participatory approach be applied in the planning and implementation as it has been mandated as well by the national laws on development planning and spatial management. Interestingly, while slum problems, along with the urban sprawl, are mostly the case of big cities and metropolitan regions in Java [10], those of remote and much less-urbanized areas are also included in the RP2KPKP program.…”

Indonesia has committed to accomplish "cities without slum" target in 2019 through the national program of Action Planning for Preventing and Improving the Quality of Urban Slum Settlements (RP2KPKP) launched in 2015. Nanga Bulik town in Kabupaten (Regency) Lamandau of Central Kalimantan Province is among those included in the program; the RP2KPKP of which has been completed in 2016. This paper focuses on how participatory approach has been applied in the planning process. The planning has employed mostly qualitative approach with documents study, field observation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving all stakeholders, complemented with quantitative one especially in the aspects of urban and architectural design. The findings have suggested that the community participation in Nanga Bulik case has gone beyond the requirement commanded by the Indonesian laws on development planning and spatial management to ensure the target achievement in 2019. It is crucial because a higher level of the plan implementability would ensure more sustainability of the slum improvement. Essential lessons can be learned from this real participatory planning, which could be the beginning of the third generation of planning in Indonesia.
