Sustainability of Thematic Kampongs

Abstract

Indonesian urban areas are formed by the formal and informal pattern of settlement. Kampongs are a typical feature in the urban settlement, which are often misled as slum areas; therefore, it is important to see whether kampongs are sustainable or not. The research selects four thematic kampongs based on four dimensions to measure kampong's sustainable Multidimensional scaling (MDS) was used to measure the sustainability by incorporating four dimensions: economy, environment, social, and education. The result shows that the four kampongs were highly sustainable in economy, social, and education. The environment dimension was generally lower than the other three dimensions. The performance of each thematic kampong did not correspond with the theme.
