Developing a Dynamic Model for Sustainable Development in Yogyakarta City

Abstract

Developments in Yogyakarta City have driven residents of the city and its outskirts to access available social facilities, such as education, healthcare, and employment. If this continues, various social and urban problems may emerge, including increased population density and traffic congestion. Another implication of this process is decreased environmental carrying capacity as a result of continued use of non-sustainable approaches to development. This study aims to model the complexity of the relationships between aspects i.e., social, economic, and environmental of the area studied. The system dynamics method is used, as it is a disciplinary approach that is able to fully explore problems that occur in interconnected systems rather than examining incidents partially. As the basis for this model, the causal loop diagram (CLD) model has been applied based on literature studies and field observations. The result shows that developments in the tourism and education sectors are the main factors affecting the intersections of social, economic, and environmental considerations.

Achievement of Performance and Evaluation of Green City Development Indicators for Sustainable Cities (SDGs) in 2030

“…Source: [29], [30], [31], [22], [19], [18], [32], [26], [28] From the mapping results, important issues are obtained in planning and developing green cities for sustainable city development as shown in state of the art (research position) above. Five important issues need to be observed for the study of green cities, namely: a) There are similarities in some of the attribute indicators for the assessment of green cities by EPI, AGCI, and P2KH in Indonesia, so there needs to be a new formulation by integrating all the indicators referred to; b) Green city assessment based on seven (7) IHS-GCCF conceptual frameworks (Institute for Housing a Green City Conceptual Framework); c) Technological innovation of green cities, especially in the economic aspect, including environmental control through environmentally-friendly industries (environment, and air quality); d) Focus on green city assessment in medium-scale cities; and e) For the sake of integration (point a), have a strategy model for achieving green city performance on all attributes so that city functions can truly fulfill all aspects of sustainability.…”
