Mobile Technology-Based Participatory Mapping to Identify Home Industries in Pekalongan City - Indonesia

Abstract

Participatory mapping is a method to geolocate city elements and places involving local people as data collectors. At present, adequate technology for participatory mapping is available, i.e., smartphones, GPS, and the internet. Based on various literature, it is an effective method for obtaining spatial information from individuals. Therefore, in this research, a mobile technology-based participatory mapping method was implemented to identify the home industry's Geolocation as an essential element of Pekalongan city's economy. This research involved Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) students who did Thematic field practice (KKNT) in Pekalongan City. Students were requested to walk and Geolocate the home industries of 6 villages using the Locus Map application. The data collected were transferred to the researcher online to be analyzed the geo-location and concentration of the home industries using Kernell Density analysis in ArcGIS software. The result shows that there are 35 home industries identified on mostly settlements land use and more concentrated in Kuripan Kertoharjo Village. This information is helpful for urban planners to manage settlements where home industries exist. The involvement of students as on-site surveyors was an advantage due to the familiarity with mobile technology.

Disharmoni Perencanaan Ruang

“…Sementara Site Plan adalah acuan dalam pembangunan fisik sehingga menyebabkan banyaknya hasil pembangunan yang tidak efektif dan efisien. Contoh di lapangan seperti pembangunan drainase umum pada kawasan industri rumah tangga, menyebabkan polusi bau dan visual bagi masyarakat umum karena jalur drainase untuk pembuangan grey water dari rumah tangga bercampur dengan limbah industri rumah tangga (Amanulloh & Hadi, 2021;HADİ et al, 2022). Selain itu terdapat pula contoh terkait lahan pertanian, dimana pembangunan jalan yang baru memotong jalur irigasi dan drainase sehingga menyebabkan kendala bagi budidaya pertanian (Fiqriyati et al, 2022).…”
