ABSTRACT
Recently, the aspect of greening system in urban space has become an
important consideration in many countries. Urbanization as one of the impact of
population increased has created a challenge to build our environment with the
primary goal in energy efficiency. Building energy consumption and energy
efficiency have been become main issue related to climate change and global
warming. In the fact, more than 40% of the global Carbon Dioxide comes from
buildings because of the using in the large amount of energy to maintain
internal building temperature such as for cooling system. Vertical greening
system also known as green wall, living wall, bio wall and vertical garden, refers
to vegetation that grows directly onto a building’s facade or vegetation that is
grown on a separate structural system that can be freestanding and adjust or
attached in the wall. The application of vertical greening system as one of
advance technology provides numerous ecological and economic benefits
especially for dense cities. The obvious benefits such as energy conservation,
mitigation Urban Heat Island (UHI), reducing air pollutants and improvement air
quality, as sound insulation, providing ecological aspects as well as providing
more aesthetical environment for city dweller.
Keywords: dense cities, urban heat island, urban space, vertical greening

ABSTRACT
Population growth is happening in cities, including Surabaya as the second
largest metropolitan region in Indonesia. The population growth has an impact
to the residential density, whereas residential is usually the largest part of land
use in urban areas. In Surabaya, residential use covers more than 60% of the
total area. The intensive use of residential area has impacts on the
environment. One significant issue is the consumption of energy that produces
greenhouse gas emissions. This study is aimed at explaining the relationships
between residential density and greenhouse gas emissions in Surabaya City,
Indonesia. The residential density will be divided into three categories, i.e. low,
medium and high density. The category of density is taken from the
Identification Report of Surabaya Spatial Plan. The results of this study indicate
that there are significant differences in the electrical energy consumption for the
household sector in each residential density. These differences are mainly
influenced by variables such as car ownership, ventilation system, the use of
electrical power, cooking fuel and the way to use the home appliances. The
highest total energy consumption per month exists in high density type.
Although the average smallest energy consumption per household exists in
medium density, the total energy consumption in medium density is much
greater than that in the low density because the number of households in
medium density is greater. The final result shows that the correlation between
the total production of GHG emissions (CO2) and density has a direct or
positive relationship, which means that the greater the density, the higher the
production rate of GHG emissions (CO2).

ABSTRACT
This paper identifies the occurrences and impacts of coastal flooding and
disaster mitigation measures as part of disaster risk management undertaken to
reduce losses due to tidal flood inundation in Pekalongan City. Northern coastal
area of Pekalongan City is deluged by tidal flood and affected in terms of
inundated areas, frequency of occurrences, and depth of inundation. Tidal flood
has severely inundated 9 (nine) villages in Pekalongan Utara sub-district. The
flooding occurs almost daily with inundation depth ranging from 30 to 50 cm in
the neighbourhood area and 15 to 40 cm inside the houses. The flooding also
brings about agriculture productivity decrease and buildings damages. The
mitigation measures, as one of disaster management efforts undertaken both by
the government and local communities, are still focusing mainly on structural
measures. Several researches themes related to improvement of disaster risk
management in Pekalongan City are proposed.

ABSTRACT
There is a greater risk for flooding in low lying are of Kota Manado, especially in
the riverbank area. The severe flood recorded in the year of 1996, 2000, and
2006. Several area was severely inundated and there were losses in terms of
physical and life casualties. Flood hazard is likely to happen in the low lying
riverbank areas, however the flood vulnerability to the community can be
minimized by performing several measures. This paper intended to address the
measures to minimize the flood vulnerability of community in riverbank areas,
the case study is Kota Manado. The goals of this study are to minimize the
vulnerability of the community of Kota Manado of the impact of flood hazard.
The methodology used in this study to map the flood hazard area was the GIS-
based (Geographic Information System) spatial analysis. The methodology to
map the flood vulnerability area was the spatial multi-criteria analysis as
decision support tools using ILWIS software. The indicators of spatial multi-
criteria evaluation (SMCE) are social vulnerability, population vulnerability,
physical vulnerability, and coping capacity. To achieve the goal to minimize the
vulnerability of the community to flood hazard, the sub-goals to be met in SMCE
were to minimize social vulnerability, to minimize the impact on population
vulnerability, to minimize the physical vulnerability, and to maximize the coping
capacity. The GIS-based resulted maps were processed to develop the map of
flood vulnerability. Eventually, the flood vulnerability map resulted from the flood
risk assessment in SMCE analysis can be used for spatial planning in the area.

ABSTRACT
Global warming is a common issue that has local impact in the coastal cities in
Indonesia. One of the real impacts of the fishing profession is shifting into
factory workers since about 8 years ago on Panjang Baru, Pekalongan, Central
Java. One of the real impacts that has been happening since the past 8 years is
that many people who work in fishing industry change their profession into
factory worker. Besides that global warming brings environmental problems,
such as the rising sea levels (approximately 8 milimeters per year) and severe
flood tides. On the other hand, the number of settlements in this district is
increasing each year. This leads to the assumption that coastal residents have
adapted to the impacts of climate change. The purpose of this study is to
determine the sustainability of the adaptations pattern showed by coastal
communities in Panjang Baru. In this study, researchers used both quantitative
and qualitative methods to obtain comprehensive results. A mechanism of
quantitative method is by questionnaire, while the qualitative method is by
observation, interview and mental maps. The adaptation type of coastal
communities in Panjang Baru can be classified into two types, permanent and
temporary adaptation. Coastal populations within 600 m of the shoreline have
chosen to change their residence in the form of houses in to stilts in order to
adapt. Other methods to adapt are by raising the house’s foundations, adding
the door’s embankment, or storing their belongings in higher place. In addition,
they also do hard and soft adaptation on the shoreline. The adaptation will be
successful (durable), if they are able to balance and control all of the domains
involved based on material, economic, cultural, social, and spiritual dimensions.

ABSTRACT
For community living in Least Developing Countries (LDC) climate change has
been current pressing situation and the impact it causes is also exacerbated by
the inadequate infrastructures and regional policy in the countries. With the
focus of interest in the case of Tuvalu, one of LDCs countries located in
Western Oceania which clearly encounters rapidly destroying climate events,
this paper presents the nowadays circumstances of Tuvaluan livelihood led by
sea-level rise, warmer temperature, unprecedented cyclones, and contaminated
water. Benchmarked with other small islands stretched in Pacific Ocean, Tuvalu
has withdrawn international concerns due to its critical situations that are
perturbed by the government and local community members.
Keywords: climate change, least developing countries, sea level rise, warmer
temperature, cyclones, water contamination, Tuvalu.

ABSTRACT
The Philippines is one of the most natural hazard prone countries in the world,
especially for water-related disasters (floods and landslides) triggered by
typhoon. This study is motivated by the extreme flooding incidence in Metro
Manila and surrounding areas in September 2009, during the most devastating
typhoon to hit the country named as Tropical Storm Ondoy. Apart from flooding,
water resources degradation problems such as surface water pollution and
diminishing groundwater, are also prominent in this rapidly urbanizing river
basin. The main objective of this research is to develop a framework of
integration assessment among Spatial Planning, IWRM and water-related DRR,
as a long-term strategy to increase urban resilience and achieving Sustainable
Development objectives. The research offers five approaches, namely; 1) river
basin as spatial framework, 2) “practical” integration rather than comprehensive,
3) Focusing only on crucial water resource management concerns, 4) spatial
planning as platform for integration, and 5) spatially explicit methods of
assessment. Those approaches shaped spatial perspective in assessing the
integrations on organizational, sectorial, and territorial dimension. Stakeholder
mapping and perception analysis were mainly employed to explore the
organizational integration among involved institutions, while planning
documents review and spatial gap among related plans were used to assess
the integration on sectorial dimension. On territorial dimension, spatial Multi-
criteria Analysis (SMCA) tool was developed in the study to conduct basin-wide
flood risk assessment, vulnerability assessment of surface water to pollution
and vulnerability assessment of groundwater to contamination, that eventually
lead to areas identification or the common spatial focus between water resource
and flood risk reduction concerns. Finally, the overall result of integration

ABSTRACT
Purwodinatan Kampong is one of the settlements in Central Semarang Sub-
District and located at the bank of Semarang river. This condition causes
Purwodinatan Kampong become one of the flood prone area in the Semarang
City. This is due to the bad condition of the river which has high rates of
sedimentation. Many piles of garbage along the river also have bad impact to
the flow of Semarang River and easily overflow into the surrounding
settlements. This condition is directly become a threat to community living in
Purwodinatan Kampong. In addition, majority income levels of community in this
kampong only achieve less than one million rupiahs each month. In the middle
of the growing urban life, it's very difficult for community of this kampong to
survive in these conditions. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the
community adaptation in Purwodinatan Kampong against floods. Adaptations
that made by community can be seen through the physical changes that occur
in the Kampong. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative
approach to describe the characteristics of settlement and adaptation actions.
The results in this study showed that community have been able to take some
actions as a form of adaptation to floods. They have made several
improvements to their infrastructure conditions and the physical condition of
their houses in Purwodinatan Kampong.

ABSTRACT
In the context of emerging study about global warming and climate change
adaptation network this research examines the challenge of landscape
architecture in developing and developed countries to find how the professional
role relates to its governance, society and environment in responding to
regional climate change adaptation programs. The aim of this study is to
reconcile landscape architecture practice in Indonesia and Australia with the
professional principles of the International Federation of Landscape Architecture
(IFLA). It seeks to determine how contextual factors such as historical and
cultural background, educational and institutional development, and types of
prevalent governance systems shape the development of landscape
architecture discipline and its professional role and capability among other
related built environment professions (architecture and planning). The objective
is to investigate whether there is significant difference in the way landscape
architecture professionals in either country perceive their practice in ensuring
sustainable landscape development. Delphi technique will be used to identify
the professionals’ perspectives to address the relevant universal issues such as
global warming and climate change adaptation framework. While establishing
the current status of the profession in two different settings, this study seeks to
uncover the contextual factors that contribute to the creation of effectiveness of
landscape architecture professional contribution to society.

ABSTRACT
Today lots of land conversions happen in some cities. These phenomena
influence on disaster frequency. Many kinds of disaster such as flooding,
landslide, liquefaction, and so forth are increasing because of irresponsible of
land arrangement. Some cities become more vulnerable than before because of
land conversion. In order to reduce these disasters, Urban Rural Transect
System gives a solution for rearrangement land use in regional scale. Urban
rural transect is a system classification which is natural and every element
easily finds a place within its continuum. This nomenclature creates balancing in
ecological system and automatically will mitigate and reduce disaster frequency.
Semarang City which has both urban and rural characters will be explored to
give an explanation about urban rural transect in Indonesian vulnerable city.
The comparative analysis with urban rural transect theory and others cities will
be used as the analysis method in this paper. The conclusion that would be an
expected result is the appropriate urban rural transect in Indonesian city to
reduce disaster in vulnerable city.

ABSTRACT
Most cities and urban areas in the developing world are lacking the capacity
and capability to cope with climate change. The cities steering and coordination
of cross-sectorial and interdisciplinary processes with involvement of relevant
stakeholders is inadequate. The framework of an Integrated Climate Action
Planning is designed by the Indonesian-German programme “Policy Advice for
Environment and Climate Change” to build capacity of cities’ administration
toward an integrated and synergized strategy between mitigation and
adaptation aspects. The settings count on a multi-level governance approach
by horizontal integration of functional supplementary administrative units within
the cities’ administrations (cross-sectorial approach), a vertical integration of
the various intervention levels (city, province, national government), and a
substantial integration between adaptation and mitigation aspects. The
methodology builds upon strengthening existing synergies between the different
activity areas. So far, pilot-projects for testing and implementing climate
strategies show that mitigation and adaptation measures could be integrated
especially in the area of waste, land, and building management. In some other
issues, the integration approach could avoid the increase growth of greenhouse
gases and vulnerability. This approach has a great chance to maximize co-
benefits and avoid maladaptation nor malmitigation toward sustainable urban
development.

ABSTRACT
In recent years, Malang becomes a rapid development city of population, land
use, and the complexity of economic activity. In 2012, Malang has a population
of more than 830,000 people (Malang in Figure, 2012). Population as a
measure of housing supply became the reason for accelerate the primary need.
Poor distribution can be related to the distribution of infrastructure and public
facilities, or other social conditions. this study aimed to compare the pattern of
poor people housing and informal location (poor people activity) based on the
spatial model relations of public facilities distribution and other social conditions.
Descriptive and spatial modeling approach was used to identification the impact
of public facilities distribution and other social conditions toward distribution of
poor housing and informal activity by poor people. The analysis method is
spatial regression through Geospatial Data Analysis. Both of the dependent
variables were significant to the spatial model and has correlation with their
district neighbour. Number of poor housing related to number of migrant on the
same district, but has a negative relation with sidewalk and open space. The
number of informal activity location related to number of real estate as
consumen, but has a negative relation with number of beggar and road. The
result of this study shows the difference of poor people choices to provide
service in informal activity as supllier that their choice to provide primary need,
especially housing.

ABSTRACT
Conventional methods to monitor poverty lack the explanation for sustainable
development and continued existence of poverty with the completion of projects
to reduce poverty in the peasant farming sector financed through national and
international agencies. Survey findings on implementation and evaluation of
poverty among peasant farmers identify beneficiaries have not been involved
and excluded in project design and implementation. Current poverty monitoring
methods focus on financial and physical parameters. Monitoring the effect
(outcome) and impact (changes) of poverty programs on the intended
beneficiaries are equally important. Empirical work on the monitoring and
evaluation methods of poverty programs in the peasant farming sector find that
the information generated tend to serve more the needs and requirements of
stakeholders’ financial and physical implementation concerns. The planned and
pragmatic objectives of poverty reduction including raising the standard of living
and income and bringing attitudinal changes are equally important concerns.
Because of the Inadequateness of the conventional logical framework method
(LFM) which lacks comprehensive pre-appraisal baseline study, community
participation and impact on beneficiaries it is necessary to re-design the method
with the significance of the impact of socio-economic factors in relation to
project objectives. This paper is on adjustment methodology techniques to
current LFM approaches with revised beneficiaries monitoring guidelines for
sustainable development based on analysis of qualitative impact on peasant
farmers, rebalances current poverty monitoring approach and contribute
guidance in designing monitoring of poverty project deliverables and outcome.

ABSTRACT
The Government applying Program Penanggulangan Kemiskinan di Perkotaan
(P2KP) as a poverty alleviation program by empowering people in various way.
P2KP funds awarded through public institutions created and managed
communities. This study aimed to describe the involvement of the community in
the management of P2KP program through analysis of communication networks
that are formed. The method used was a survey, semi-structured interviews,
and literature. Data were analyzed using the techniques of sociometric. The
results showed the involvement of the community in the management of the
program is dominated by certain clicks. Deepening the findings indicate that the
program is generally planned and carried out by some opinion leaders and, due
to various constraints and for the sake of practicality, the physical work is done
by a third party.

ABSTRACT
Practically, the purpose of country development is to gain and maintain
prosperity and welfareness of people and is to carry out a good governance
through applicable laws, policies implementations, sustainability and
competitiveness of its economic growth. To gain prosperity and welfareness,
every aspects of culture, social, economy must be considered. Gender
mainstreaming has been acknowledged as something that will support the
fulfillment of country development purposes. Indonesia government has also
been trying to consider gender issues in their plan of policies in order to
integrate men, women, and living environments which there are many kinds of
development resources in it. But, the efforts seems not giving its best results
caused by the discrepancies and imbalances in people understanding of gender
mainstreaming implementation for country development activities. Those
imbalances and discrepancies of understanding are related to Indonesian
culture which considers the unequal resources accessibility between women
and men is a common thing. On the other hand, the government policies in
gender mainstreaming implementation have not include resuscitation of society
to be aware of gender issues of resources use, mobilization, proprietorship, and
managerial aspects to decrease poverties and gaining prosperity and
welfareness as a purpose yet. The purpose of this paper is to study any effort to
integrate Indonesian societies point of view in gender mainstreaming concept
with the implementations itself. The study will be using quantitative and
qualitative methods. The result of this paper is hoped to help Indonesian society
and the government to create better gender mainstreaming implementations
and policies.

ABSTRACT
Entrepreneurship is a very relevant instrument to promote economic growth and
development of a country, as a result entrepreneurship, has been a topic that
always interesting in developing country. In order to combat the poverty as well
as the unemployment, the researcher was trying to equip the youth with the
necessities of skills and equipment to become the new entrepreneurs. However,
developing entrepreneur is not an easy task. This study will discuss about the
challenges in developing the entrepreneurial intention in unemployed youth in
Indonesia. This study was done using an Action Research approach, involving
20 unemployed youths, and 10 key persons from the community. The results
show that it is not easy to develop new entrepreneurs. In this regard, although a
person is unemployed and equipped with the life skills so that they can use it to
help themselves to become financial independent, but it appears that their
expectations were more toward finding jobs and become employee in the
company. It was also shown that the role of family, key stake holders in the
community, government bodies, institutions, should be involved in terms of
developing entrepreneurial intentions in order to enable the unemployed youth
financially independent, and have different mind-sets about entrepreneurs.

ABSTRACT
Home-Based Enterprises (HBEs), as part of the informal sector, have been
studied over the last three decades from a variety of scientific viewpoints.
However, the study of home-based enterprise related to urban poverty
alleviation has not been widely studied. In urban areas, many households
mobilize all their potential resources, such as human, social, and physical
assets, to generate income from home as part of household survival strategies.
This study performs a broader perspective upon home-based enterprises
(HBEs) by relating it to poverty alleviation. The objective of this paper is to
explain the role of home-based enterprises in alleviating poverty, particularly at
household level. Samples were chosen randomly on 106 households in
Yogyakarta. This research’s finding implies that HBEs play significant role in
reducing household poverty, predominantly due to the extra income generated
through HBE activities.

ABSTRACT
Studies of socio-economic urban transformation in developing countries are
mostly associated with population, urban policies, and ethnography analyses.
The globalization and politico-economic discourses, however, are less
considered in this topic. Hence, a new framework should be formulated to
assess the impact of contemporary drivers on urban socio-economic
transformations. The present study analysis the transformation of Kuala Lumpur
(KL), Malaysian capital city, from 1970s to 2000s and highlights the various
driving forces that have played a significant role in those changes. This study
considers administration (i.e., capital of the federation Malaya), supply and
demand (i.e., infrastructure development; income and quality of life), as well as
global and national strategies (i.e., inflow of international human resources,
multimedia super corridor) as the main factors in the analysis process. The
findings of this study indicate that how the driving forces and their relative
significance have being changed during last four decades. This study generates
a stage model of Kuala Lumpur transformation, describing the substantial role
of administrative factors during 1970s, followed by globalization factors in 1980s
and supply and demand factors in 1990s and 2000s. The model defines the
critical time of socio-economic transformation in KL as the late 1990s. This
study also addresses the emergence of a social inequality in the Greater Kuala
Lumpur as an outcome of the transformations. As a conclusion, the study
highlights the necessity of provision of sustainable development strategies in
order to alleviate social inequality and spatial mismatch for the local population.

ABSTRACT
The Philippines economy is on the upswing trend amid the global economic
slowdown. Against this backdrop of prospective economic boom, it is
noteworthy to explore the spatial dimension of this growth as accelerated
growth comes with both the promise of shared and inclusive development as
well the perils of exacerbated spatial inequality. Like many developing
countries, the concentration of economic activities is skewed towards the capital
region, National Capital Region (NCR) and its neighbouring regions of
Calabarzon and Central Luzon. However, as the Philippines is continuously
embedded in dynamic and fragmented international production networks (IPN),
other regions have the opportunity to catch-up. Using both regional and
provincial data, this study will sketch the spatial dimension of growth and
development in the Philippines and identify potential new areas of growth. To
determine these potential growth areas, this study devises provincial dynamism
index which is composed of economic, safety, education, health, infrastructure
and governance indicators. This study has found out that while the NCR and its
adjacent regions remain to be the top contributor to country’s total output, the
fastest-growing region is Central Visayas which grew at an average of 10.2
percent from 2009-2011 and followed by Central Luzon and Caraga Region in
Northern Mindanao. This particular finding implicitly suggests the possible
diffusion of growth to other regions. The study has also found out that in terms
of provincial dynamism, among the top 10 provinces which ranked the highest
in all the indices, there are five provinces (Batanes, Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Ilocos
Norte) which are not located within the peripheries of the capital. The findings of
this study are useful for both policy makers and local administrators who aim to
stimulate growth and development and for firms who plan to locate to areas
which can satisfy their requirements and provide optimal profit.

ABSTRACT
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) of Indonesia had a major role in
economic development. MSME were able to create jobs and employs more
than 75 percent of Indonesian workers. The ability of the MSME to create
employment and provide income was also meant that MSME had contributed to
the reduction of poverty in Indonesia. Major contribution to job creation and
poverty reduction were not accompanied by adequate competitiveness skill in
the face of competition with MSME from other countries. Fact that many
products from overseas were shifting the Indonesian MSME, showed the need
for Indonesian MSME to improve competitiveness and formulate positions and
strategies facing the MSME from abroad. This study would map the position of
Indonesian MSME in ASEAN regional economic competitiveness by looking at
the problems, potentials, and opportunities owned. This study aimed to provide
ideas and strategic concepts that could be used in the face of the Asean
Economic Community (AEC). The method of analysis used in this study was a
SWOT analysis. Studies showed that Indonesian MSME always faced the
classic problem of networking in the access to capital, market share, and low
human resource capacity. Weak access to capital led to the ability of MSME to
increase production capacity to be low. The weak marketing networks made it
difficult for MSME to maximize the increase in market share of existing capacity.
Strategy of strengthening the competitiveness of MSME through increasing
mastery of science and technology, infrastructure, institutional and human
resources quality can maintain the existence of Indonesian MSME in facing the
entry of MSME products from overseas.

ABSTRACT
The poverty has been a never ending issue. The poverty is a lack of goods and
services needed to achieve an adequate standard of living and situation
circumstances that cannot be avoided by the power available to them. The main
indicator of poverty according to the World Bank is the ownership of land and
capital are limited, limited facilities and infrastructure required, urban
development bias, differences opportunity among members of the community,
difference in sources of human resources and the economic sector, low
productivity, poor living culture, bad governance, and the management of
natural resources is excessive. Various studies noted that all societies are built
from social groups rather than individuals, and these groups determine
attitudes, beliefs, identities and values, as well as access to resources and
opportunities and ultimately access to power, advance women’s human right,
rural policies, and the management of natural resource especially in urban
household, social integration, social trust and civic participation. The theory of
social capital is often used to identify and address the problem of poverty. In the
most cases, social capital has been understood in terms of its bonding functions
in building collective action and in-group cohesion, however, this also has a
downside since strong social capital within a particular group result in the
exclusion of other individual and group. The important thing to realize is that the
development of social capital is a key to sustainable development in poverty
reduction. The aim of this paper is to analyze the social capital and poverty
reduction based on review of literature. The paper concludes that there are
many factors to be analyzed in addressing the issue of poverty such as good
governance, local institutions, living culture, communities, networks, trust,
facilities, the management of natural resources, urban development.

ABSTRACT
In a development of cities and regions, it is usually related to poverty as an
impact of city or region construction. Poverty is a complex problem, so it is
required to handling poverty integrally and sustainably. The efforts to reduce
poverty are keeps done by Semarang Government. Programs that have been
launched by government in order to accelerate poverty reduction are including
health sectors, integrated economy, education, infrastructure, and environment
sector which called Gerdu Kempling. This Gerdu Kempling is hoped that can
make poverty rate of Semarang City decrease at least 2% per year. And this
effort has been done since 2011 and currently has been running for one year.
The impact of this program implementation is certainly expected to increase
public welfare, especially poor people. Thus required the existence of this study
to see the effects of the practical influence will be compared to evaluation
process, planning theories, and policy about poverty reduction program which is
attached. The result of this critical review is to issue recommendations for
program improvements of the future Gerdu Kempling implementation for
tackling poverty in Semarang.

ABSTRACT
A pedestrian line should be a good facility provided either by government or
private institutions as a tool for pedestrians. The need for pedestrian facilities as
public open spaces have also increased due to an adjustment of lifestyle and
standard of living for Indonesian community generally and Jakarta’s community
particularly. Pedestrian areas have many functions, one of their functions either
as a tool for pedestrians, also as a space for social need for many people. A
distance from residence to work place should be well planned and well
designed as an easy access and can be reached by walking distance. This is
become a background why the concept of pedestrian is important to be applied
within public areas such as campus area. But in fact the existing pedestrian
path is far from optimal in terms of planning, design or use. This paper is aimed
to analyse the application of pedestrianization concept within campus area as a
public space for social need. As the fact showed that number of pedestrian’s
flow within campus area is quite high. The need for socialization between
students and others is significant as well. Descriptive method as well as
comparative studies method has been chosen as a methodology of the
research. The final of the research is by delivering a typology of
pedestrianization concept within campus area from some case studies.

ABSTRACT
It is an acclaimed fact that caste based segregation is a phenomenon that
exists in traditional societies, but it loses its importance when they enter into the
process of urbanisation. The present paper unfolds the changing pattern of
spatial residential segregation and its influence on the socio-economic life of the
Scheduled Castes (SC) in Chennai city. Dissimilarity index has been used to
quantify the changes that happened to the SC community in the settlement
pattern owing to the urbanisation process. The empirical evidence obtained
from the study illustrates the presence of segregation at mediocre level;
however a positive desegregation trend has also been evidential since 2001
due to strong peri-urbanization process. The study also confirms the presence
of a strong link between caste identity and low socioeconomic outcomes of the
segregated SC population.

ABSTRACT
Sex segregation is a common feature in Islamic architecture; however, as many
cases demonstrated, it often serves to fortify gender discrimination. This article
inquires what socio-cultural and political messages that segregating devices
convey in the mosque spatial arrangement. In Indonesia and other Muslim
countries, the mosque has increasingly become a community center; and thus,
has played a critical role that extends beyond the mosque wall. Investigating
sex segregation in Masjid Gedhe Kauman (built in 1773) of Yogyakarta, this
article demonstrates that segregating serve as a means of gender stratification
through the control of movement, the division of gender roles operated within
space, and space labelling. This further reinforces the silently embraced
assumption that the mosque space is a male space while marginalizing women
as the “Others.” Written based on data withdrawn from ethnographic research,
the article captures occasions when women were placed at the sequestered
women’s prayer room (the pawestren), built in 1839, and later migrated to the
main prayer hall to pray behind men in the end of 1960s. employing visual
theory, it examines the socio-cultural and political meanings embedded in the
spatial change and particularly, the interplay of architecture and gender
practices. It also investigates the way architecture simultaneously enables and
restricts certain behaviors in the mosque. Thie article demonstrates that the
mosque architecture is a critical apparatus of gender ideology in society. More
than simply an envelope for human society, architecture has the power to shape
social practices and make ideology manifest in space.

ABSTRACT
The rapid growth of Indonesian cities often neglects ecological aspect of river
and causes degradation of its ecological function. The environment degradation
is closely related to people behavior around the river. This research takes a
case of Semarang River (Kali Semarang) which is now very dirty, high in
pollution, and also has thick sedimentation. This research is aimed to know why
people behave tend to neglect Semarang River. This research uses a mixed-
method between qualitative and quantitative method (QUAL/quan) with
triangulation of data validation. Data is collected from in-depth interviews with
several key persons such as district officials, officers from Semarang Water
Resource Management Agency, and from semi-opened questionnaire
distribution to the community Purwodinatan and Sumeneban Kampongs which
both of them are located right next to Kali Semarang. Results of the research
show that people in Purwodinatan and Sumeneban Kampongs still have bad
behavior or not environmentally friendly yet. However, although there is a waste
management system within the community, the existence of informal activities
alongside riverbank causes many rubbish drifting in the river and makes the
river remains dirty. This situation is being worsened by the lack of sewage
system (particularly on toilet). These things have worsened the sedimentation
on the river. According to the information collected, this situation has been
happening because of poverty and people within it are still lack of education on
how to manage river appropriately. However, according to the community
appraisal, they said that infrastructure in their neighborhood is still not provided
well, which means that the role of local government is still perceived as not
satisfying on developing the river corridor and its surrounding settlements.

ABSTRACT
Many studies in various parts of the world have recognized the importance of
mangroves as habitats for coastal ecosystems. Mangroves have very strategic
functions in term of its influence to the coastal ecosystems in attempt to
stabilize environment for the aquatic organisms and economy growth. This
article describes economic value of mangroves ecosystem used by coastal
communities in Kotania Bay, Seram Bagian Barat District, Moluccas Province.
The existence of the mangrove ecosystem has given many benefits for local
community. However, more of them are now exploiting mangrove without
considering its sustainability. Abrasion is another factor which exacerbates the
sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem in the case study area. This leads to
declining of productivity and fisherman’s income. Two sets of methods were
used for data collection, namely qualitative information gathering, which
involved review of the documents and discussions with various stakeholders
and quantitative data collection of specific information associated with social-
economic using structured interviews in Kotania bay. This research shows that
direct use of the mangrove ecosystem for community consists of eight
categories: fire fuel, house building construction, cattle feed, contribution to
fisheries, habitats bivalve, sand, crabs and shrimps. The total economic value of
this direct use is approximately 351.744.908 IDR/year. In addition, the existence
and inheritance values of the Kotania Bay’s mangrove ecosystem is
approximately 90.262.166,67 IDR/year, 88.311.833 IDR/year.

ABSTRACT
This study examines the possibility of BRO works in the city centre of Malang
City in Indonesia. BRO design is contradicting to the principle of segregation,
the idea of separating functions and different users in the city. We put some
design elements such as street furniture, artwork and other plants or flowers
around the space. It encourages the speed of vehicles being slow. The study
included a survey of existing street with six steps: Existing, Tidy up, De-clutter,
Relocate, Rethink, and Final design. The main purpose is to improve pedestrian
movement and comfort by reducing the dominance of motor vehicles and
enabling all users to share the space rather than follow the clearly defined rules
implied by more conventional design. The results show that the possibility of
BRO works in the City of Malang is 66.3 per cent. This design is safe because
this is due to both motorist and pedestrians are encouraged to be more careful
with the surrounding environment and to each other.

ABSTRACT
Urban forest is an important element to maintain the stabilization of urban
ecosystems. To maintain the urban ecosystems condition, any development of
urban forest should as much as possible be guided by the ecological principles.
Ecological principles have been identified and developed by many experts in
various countries. However, the ecological principles have their uniqueness and
vary according to geographic region. Therefore the application of ecological
principles should carefully consider the characteristics of the region. Many
cities in Indonesia were not able to realize the urban forest as needed or
planned according to appropriate criteria. Makassar as one of the metropolitan
cities in Indonesia has unique characteristics. However, the opportunities to
develop the urban forest still remain since the city government was able to
nurture understanding and support with other stakeholders to develop an urban
forest on private land. It required a mutually beneficial strategic partnership
between the owners of private land with city government. This paper studied the
feasibility of an integrated urban forest planning for Makassar. It attempts to
apply ecology principles, in order to maintain the natural features and species
composition of the area. The paper concludes with recommendations on how a
more sustainable development of urban forest can be realized.

ABSTRACT
Sense of community is one part of in the community psychology that means
attachment or togetherness that exists in a community. This is what believed by
previous researchers can be a social capital to achieve a better quality of life,
sense of security and enabling good community participation. In the age of
technology and the ease of information at this time, a strong sense of
community is one of the difficult things to look in urban communities. Francis
(2012) said that in order to create a strong sense of community is necessary to
have a public space as a container of interaction between the communities.
Dadapsari Village is one of the mass settlements and communities in the inner
city of Semarang in the form of unplanned settlements that often called as
Kampong. The lack of public space in these neighborhoods does not preclude
the community to interact and form a strong sense of community. This study
uses a quantitative method aims to find out how the role of public space in the
form a sense of community. Based on this research, it is known that public
space in Dadapsari is formed by a community center as the school buildings
and spaces in the local street so that the communities can form a quite strong
sense of community. Both public spaces are known to have a role in forming
one of the elements of the sense of community that is called shared emotional
connection.

ABSTRACT
A settlement is not only environmental aspect but also the process of growing
and related with socio-economic life of community. Life of community cannot be
separated from space as container of activity. One of the urban kampongs in
Semarang City Core is Gabahan Kampong that existing since the early
establishment of Semarang City about the end of 15th century, so it called as
old kampong. As the container of activity, Gabahan Kampong has main
problems. The problems are the lack of green open space that only 0.06% of
the area of Gabahan Kampong, because high level of building density more
than 80%. In addition, 51% of population livelihood is labor and 31% of
population have income under one million Rupiahs. However, Gabahan
Kampong has the potential harmonious life. The linkage between social life and
space or container of activity affects the social relationships that are formed.
This article tends to analyze the linkage between space or container of activity
and community daily life in Gabahan Kampong. Based on the analysis of space
that create social life of the inhabitants, harmonious daily life of urban kampong
community connects to public space because it uses public space such
pathway and riparian along river with the width is 2-3 meters and high frequency
level of interaction. The space is used for daily life such as children’s playing
activity, gathering, and economic activity. Limitation of the space makes the
pathway is the most potential open space that always used together and
supporting social relation.

ABSTRACT
One of the important issues emergences in the context of spatial planning is
about community participation. In Indonesia, this issue widely spread in line with
development of decentralization system and low level of trust to government. In
Bali, problem in land management became crucial issue in regard with rocket
development of tourism sector. Triangle conflicts among Indigenous Village,
State Government and investor became a common things today. Social capital
as an instrument of control is absolutely necessary to monitor the
implementation of spatial planning. In regard with endogenous concept in
contemporary urban planning, and considering the weakness and limitations of
current land use control tools this paper discus and propose an idea to enforce
the uses of social capital to support and affirm land use control. This paper
began with elaboration of the challenges and conflict of land management in
Bali, followed by analysis weakness and limitations of existing regulations and
finally ends up with an idea to enforce the function of social capital through
institutional reform. Based on the discussion, integrating social capital can be
done through accommodating the value into concept of spatial planning and
involving indigenous village as institution control for the implementation of
spatial plan.

ABSTRACT
This article discusses current research findings about renewable energy
technology (RETs: Wind pump and photovoltaic-street lighting system) and
sustainable energy (energy mixed) in transmigration villages in Mesuji district,
Lampung – Indonesia. Considering a new long term framework for future
Indonesia development, which is named as MP3EI (Masterplan Percepatan dan
Perluasan Pembangunan Ekonomi Indonesia), this article also benchmarks
existing several renewable energy projects in rural Indonesia. Throughout case
studies, Correlative Matrix Analysis (CMA) is deployed in order to evaluate
failure histories of Indonesian transmigration program, renewable energy
projects and to scale up all of potencies of the MP3EI core business. It is found
that both of transmigration and MP3EI programs are having fundamental
problems to be adopted as a long term national framework for future Indonesian
community development programs, particularly for the RETs implementation
program. It is strongly suggested that both of programs are essentially required
a further comprehensive evaluation, simulation and computer modelling studies
and field surveys. Promoting community as an actor, reducing dual functions of
local government and optimising local institutions-organization-companies as
mediators on both of program are predicted as important indicators for future
Indonesian community development.

ABSTRACT
Water supply provision is still a problem in Greater Bandung. The main problem
is the availability of water resource; the distribution of water resource is unequal
among region. The problem exist between Kabupaten Bandung and Kota
Bandung, since the location of water resource for Kota Bandung is located in
Kabupaten Bandung. To resolve horizontal conflict between The Government of
Kabupaten Bandung and Kota Bandung on the management of water resources
and to optimize the utilization of SIPPA (Surat Izin Pengambilan dan
Pemanfaatan Air) of PDAM Tirta Raharja and PDAM Tirtawening, West Java
Provincial Government together with the Ministry of Public Works, also local
government of Kabupaten Bandung and Kota Bandung agreed to establish a
regional water supply provision which will serve the southern part of the Greater
Bandung (Kabupaten Bandung and Kota Bandung area). The aim of the
research is identification of potential and problems of regional water supply
provision development collaboration in the southern part of Greater Bandung.
The research compared the actual condition and success criteria of
collaboration. Success criteria of collaboration is formulated from literature.
Regional water supply provision of Greater Bandung will able to increase the
capacity of drinking water for PDAM Tirta Raharja and PDAM Tirtawening at
1400 liters/sec with service-line as many as 111,350 units. For Kota Bandung
itself, the construction of Southern Regional water supply provision will help
achieving target of urban water service coverage by 80%. However, the
development of Southern Greater Bandung Regional Water Supply Provision is
still hampered by the completion of a collaboration agreement between Ministry
of Public Works, Government of West Java Province, Kabupaten Bandung, and
Kota Bandung where it contains chapters on the rights and obligations as well
as sanctions for each party involved. Some points that have not been agreed
upon are the issue of asset management and determination of tariff for the
purchase of bulk water for each PDAM Tirta Raharja and PDAM Tirtawening.
Regional water supply provision management requires a strong commitment
and understanding between local governments involved. Understanding and the

ABSTRACT
In a wide country like Indonesia, it’s indeed a huge challenge to equalize the
welfare around this archipelago. One of the main problems the country has is
the access of human flow, capital flow, and goods/services flows to reach every
region are not adequate. This access is highly related to transportation aspect.
As a trigger, transportation infrastructure can be used actively to drive the local
economy. The method used in this essay is literature study that aims to find the
connection between the transportation infrastructure development and regional
competitiveness. The transportation infrastructure development can strenghten
the interconnection between industrial area, urban area, rural area, and even
among islands. This strategy can further raise the competitiveness among local
industries. This current situation is becoming more crucial since ACFTA policy
has been exercised in 2010. The study shows that with the access made
available through the transportation development, regional economic growth
can be achieved. Besides water transportation, air transportation also suits
Indonesia’s geographic form, due to its efficiency and effective. Flight
infrastructure is needed to access remote areas which some can only be
accessed through air. Indeed, the competitiveness between different airlines is
relatively high, moreover with Open Sky policy. But based on the BPS data, the
demand of air transportation keep increasing year by year. Thus, Indonesia
needs to start advancing air transportation. The government does not need to
hesitate giving its full support for the development of the air transportation
infrastructure which is crucial for the nation’s growth.

ABSTRACT
The main goal of Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesian
Economic Development (MP3EI) 2011-2025 as stated in MP3EI’s document is
to 'stimulate the economy of Indonesia into developed countries and be
recognized by global community through high economic growth, inclusive, and
sustainable'. By comparing between reality and what is planned, appear various
negative opinions stating that the MP3EI is less realistic. This is because the
development of regional infrastructure is quite problematic in Indonesia. This
paper assesses the sustainability of MP3EI program in terms of some facts,
regulatory and level of physical infrastructure development. Analysis is
performed through review on some related studies, regulations and indicators
of development achievement. This study use compliance as evaluation method,
and also infrastructure engineering and socio-economic assessment to analyze
sustainability of infrastructure. The result shows that condition of infrastructure,
particularly road infrastructure and marine shipping to support one of the main
objectives MP3EI the year to support national connectivity increasingly good
progress in terms of length of road connectivity and marine shipping. If viewed
from socio-economic conditions approach as reflected in the national GDP in
transportation sector, Indonesia has a significant upward trend in the field of
road transport, but there was a gap with other transport sectors.

ABSTRACT
Urban logistics play an important role in regional economic growth. Production
activities, distribution, and consumption generate movement of goods. In a
commercial framework, the aforementioned activities are mapped out on a
supply chain network designed to increase efficiency, availability, and shorten
response or delivery time. However, in a spatial context, the logistics network
requires a different approach if it were to increase urban economic
competitiveness. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a strategy that
offers various mobility options to fulfil mobility needs. Its overall aim is to reduce
the amount of vehicles in circulation rather than increase transportation network
capacity. Shifting modes of transportation, shifting routes, or the adjustment of
operational time are some of the strategies offered by TDM. TDM is generally
employed to manage human mobility in an urban setting rather than goods or
services. Not much research has been done on the application of TDM on the
distribution of goods. This paper presents an inquiry that relies heavily on
secondary data on cargo movements in the research location. Acquired data
will provide input for the three major stages of this research: identification of
origin-destination zones, volume-capacity ratio analysis and the development of
an urban logistics model using a Systems Dynamic approach. So far, this
investigation has identified origin-destination zones and logistics network in the
Surabaya Metropolitan Area, set up a boundary system for the model and
compiled a preliminary Causal Loop.

ABSTRACT
The increase in per capita income and rapid urbanization, have contributed
significantly to changes in consumption behaviour leading to increased waste
generation. Waste disposed to landfill sites is fast becoming unfeasible thus
requiring a more effective management of waste material involving waste
reduction, reuse and recycling. The success of recycling program, however, is
largely dependent on household participation activities which are essentially
behaviour driven. The recycling performance of Malaysian households is still
low as it stands at 5.5% compared to Singapore and Vietnam which are 56%
and 22% respectively. This study examines recycling behaviour among
households and the influence of socioeconomic, demographic and behavioural
characteristics on households’ participation in recycling program in Malaysia. A
sample of 300 randomly selected household were surveyed. The findings
revealed that most of the households (70%) claim that they are practicing
recycling particularly types of paper and old clothes. The factors of participation
in recycling show equal results both for environmental concerns and economic
benefits. Those who did not participate in recycling, listed household issues or
behaviour, namely lack of time and materials to recycle, inconvenient, lack of
space, lack of facilities and information as well as laziness, as barriers. The
paper finally highlights the factors which can encourage household to be
involved in recycling and give recommendations to the authorities in terms of
facilities and infrastructures to facilitate the program.

ABSTRACT
Considering the rising prices and limited availability of fossil fuels, the use of
alternative energy diversification needs to be accelerated. PLTD-gasification of
biomass waste should be promoted as an alternative energy source that is
currently the most potential model to use as an alternative energy source and
the most suitable substitution in Indonesia, because rice husk are quite a lot
and are available in many areas in Indonesia. Electric Power Generation is a
strategic infrastructure for improving Regional and Economic Development.
Whilst reducing energy cost of manufacturing process will improve the
advantage and competitiveness of industrial sector in Lampung Province. A
strategy of using biomass waste especially rice husk in Lampung Province will
improve farmers get an added value of Rp.83,036,850,000,- per year when rice
husk is utilized as fuel. Utilization of rice husk will provide potential fuel savings
of 130,561,000 liter/year, and has a value of Rp.718,085,966,000,- for the price
of Rp 5,500,- per liter fuel. Daihatsu Diesel engine in PLTD Metro unit 3, with
engine capacity of 250 kW if operated with High Speed Diesel fuel only, the fuel
is needed approximately 0.32 liter/kWh. Whereas when operated in dual mode
operation with the gasification of rice husk, the consumption of HSD oil will be
saved 80% to 0.064 liters/kWh and the substitution synthetic gas of rice husk is
1.085 kg/kWh. Dual mode operation of the Diesel engine with mixed rice husk
gasification unit, the HSD oil will consume 129,024 liters/year and needs 2,188
tons of rice husk/year. The dual mode operation will obtain savings of HSD oil in
one year is reaching up to 516,096 liters, that is equivalent to
Rp.2,838,528,000,- per year (HSD subtituted price Rp.5,500/liter). Another
benefit is intended to give economic value of rice husk waste up to an additional
income of Rp 328 million per year (Rp.150,-/kg rice husk) for each 250 kW
gasification unit. If the total investment of gasification unit and Diesel engine of
250 kW Rp.3,025,000,000,- ; it will be paid off within 1 year 8 months and for
investment of gasification unit only amounted to Rp.1,725,000,000,- ; it will be
paid off within 8 months.

ABSTRACT
Housing need in urban area has increased in line with the population growth.
This condition is not in accordance with land availability. Limited land in urban
areas and the increasing value of land will encourage lower-middle income
people to live in the suburbs that far from work place and also will make a
slums area arise. This condition increase both the transportation cost and
travel time and at the same time reduce mobility and productivity of people. If
this problem is not solved, it will cause irregularity of urban spatial structure and
create a new slum area. The best alternative to handle this condition is by
building low-cost vertical housing as rented flats in urban area. Since the
availability of rented flats and government plans to built low-cost flats is still less
compared to low-income people housing needs, the plan should be made to
enhance the development of low-cost vertical rented flat . Because it is the most
rational response to cope population explosion, eliminate slums, protect
environment and bring people close to workplace. The aim of this study is to
select the location of a low-cost flats in Bandung City. The selection of low-cost
flats location used ten factors that influence location. The factors are
topographical, lithography, safety area of flight operations, land price,
infrastructure, social facilities, population density, government policy, disasters,
and accessibility. From those ten factors then be analyzed using ArcGIS
software with the overlay method. After the analyse process, the result is 4
(four) location that suitable with all factors. Suitable locations for low-cost flats
are in Kecamatan Situ Saeur, Kecamatan Ciseureuh, kecamatan Babakan Sari
and Kecamatan Cikutra. Kecamatan Situ Saeur and Kecamatan Babakan Sari
is the priority locations for low-cost flats because they are located in slums
area.

ABSTRACT
Zoning regulation is a new instrument as one of land use control instruments in
Indonesia. In Spatial Planning Act of Indonesia No.26/2007, land use control
instruments are zoning regulation, permit, incentive and disincentive, and
sanction. Essentially zoning regulation is an instrument of land use control and
prepared on a detailed plan for each zone and as guideline for land use control.
Local governments including Cimahi City have to create zoning regulation and
implement it to control land use in its area. Comparative study is needed to
learn the differences and the similarity Cimahi City’s zoning regulation from the
other countries in Asia that use zoning regulation as land use control instrument
successfully. Japan and Singapore are relevant as cases study because of their
success on land use control and zoning regulation. This study used a
descriptive qualitative approach with literature sources for Japan and
Singapore, and inductive empirical research for Cimahi city. The results show
that: (1) there is similarity between Japan, Singapore and Cimahi City in
success of using zoning regulation and land use control with its discretionary
system; (2) ) In the development of planning system, Japan, Singapore and
Cimahi City are influenced by Britain and American planning system; and (3)
there are different variations of land use zone categories on zoning system,
Japan and Cimahi City applies zoning system with simpler variation of land use
zoning categories than Singapore.

ABSTRACT
West Java Province has strategic role and position in Indonesia due the
geographical location and high economic contribution to national GDP. A high
population growth should provided by infrastructures as universal obligation.
However, some problems came along with economic and population growth
such as environmental degradation, pollution, natural resources deterioration,
inconsistency regional planning implementation, low law enforcement, and low
public awareness. Those tensions have been resulting a high cost infrastructure
development and also impact of infrastructures provision especially to natural
environment. This research has objective to evaluate infrastructure
development policy in West Java Province by conforming the sustainable
infrastructure development principles. Through descriptive research with formal
evaluation approach on infrastructure development policy, the comparative
method and scoring technique is used to evaluate three kinds policies which are
mid-term policy (RPJM), annual policy (RKPD), and strategic plan of some
related institutions. The infrastructures and sustainable infrastructure principles
to be evaluated are a) water, waste-water, and waste infrastructure (21
principles, 44 indicators), b) transportation (13 principles, 35 indicators), c)
building (11 principles, 33 indicators), and d) energy (11 principles, 34
indicators). To summarize, overall infrastructure development policies are not
sustainable yet and only could develop the basic provision level. In detail: a)
only 20 principles from 56 principles is, b) water, waste-water, and waste
infrastructure policy is the most constance policy that stated in all policy types,
c) the conformity of eco-efficiency still in the services phase, not achieve the
optimal resources use and the impact to the environment level.

ABSTRACT
One of the current issues in the field of climate change is the thought for
request more participation from developing countries in efforts to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Based on calculations of some experts revealed
that the developing countries were also contributed to increase greenhouse
gases was driven by high rate of deforestation. One of the main reason high
deforestation in developing country was happened because conflict of interest
between to conserve the forest versus to increasing the rate of development
growth. This was dilemmatic position, on one side developed countries have an
obligation to cutting down emission and in other hand developing countries
have a problem with their priority. The idea for request developing countries
more involve in reducing emission based from forest doesn’t stop at the
discourse level an sich, but this idea turned into a serious conversation during
Conference Of the Parties (COP) 13 was held in Bali, 2007. This conference
was produced Bali Action Plan (BAPA) as the output document that talk about
projection and probability REDD for the first time and how to implement include
with the all safeguard to make it effective. But, until now that’s not come yet the
legally binding rules and mechanism for implementation of REDD. From the
discussion and conference result above and still waiting the international
regulation at least already have decision about REDD scheme which separate
in two basic model, mandatory approach and voluntary approach. Indonesia as
one of country with a high rate of deforestation and have large number of
tropical forests of course become the main actor in REDD regime. Indonesia
policy regarding REDD is the first come to response it in the regulation scope.
Nowadays Indonesia have a lot of REDD+ project that based on voluntary
approach and some of it already finish. This condition makes the legitimacy of
REDD+ regime in Indonesia to be questioned and seemed play in grey area
because there is no legally binding formulation about REDD+ in international
area but already exist in ministry level. This paper will emphasize some of the
main discussion issues related to REDD+ in international and Indonesia
context. Firstly, the background on the adoption concept of REDD+ in
international discourse and the debate from developed and developing
countries perspective about it. Secondly, trace the basic legitimacy of REDD+
implementation in Indonesia in the base on regulation and stakeholder was
involve in REDD+ project. Lastly, the responses that should be done from the

ABSTRACT
Assessing the relationship between planning and implementation is
often hampered by insufficient methodologies, deficiencies in plans’
contents and resource limitations. There is however the need to review the
efficacy of plans and degree of plan implementation to indicate whether
plans achieved their goals in guaranteeing sustainable development on a
territorial level. This paper reviews the effectiveness of the physical
development strategies and their implementation by examining the spatial
pattern of land use development in the South Johore Economic Region (SJER).
SJER, also known as Iskandar Malaysia (IM), is the new corridor for
development in the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia which has been
structured through a Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) to enhance the
physical and economic development of the region. Specifically the study
compares the original physical development strategies outlined by the CDP with
subsequent development activity. Using overlay analysis, it identifies the extend
of plan implementation by deriving the level of conformance between the
proposed land use plan in the CDP and actual land use of 2006 and 2010. It
applies three indices: accordance, un-fulfillment and deviation to measure the
conformance level between the plan and actual land us e of five major land
uses that are residential, commercial, public facilities, industrial and open
space. The finding shows that the accordance level is relatively high for industry
and open space while relatively low for residential and public facilities. Based on
the results, the paper discusses the outcomes of implementation of selected
strategies
Keywords: Iskandar Malaysia, development strategy, plan implementation

ABSTRACT
As a developing country with high and quite stable economic growth, Indonesia
is one of the greatest emission producers in the world. The aim of this paper is
to study relationships among economic development, population and the CO2
emission which has the greatest share on GHGs and among economic
development, population and CO2 emission intensity. We did it by employing
countries and time fixed effects. We found that there is an evidence of
Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. Population has significant effect on
CO2 emission but not on CO2 emission intensity. We also found that gasoline
price has significant effect on CO2 emission, that proportion of clean energy
and individualism index have significant effect on CO2 emission and CO2
emission intensity, and that masculinity index has significant effect on CO2
emission intensity. The most crucial policy to reduce CO2 emission is by
breaking down the barriers which prevent the development of potential clean
energies, among others by abrogating fuel subsidy price. Simulation of
optimistic development scenario shows that in 51 years Indonesia will still have
a positive annual CO2 emission growth but the annual growth of CO2 emission
intensity will have become negative.

ABSTRACT
Nepal belongs to one of the least developed countries around the world with
HDI 157 out of 187 countries (UNDP 2013). Even though poverty in Nepal has
reduced to 24.8% in the latest census, the livelihoods of the poorest people
living in the remote communities are still vulnerable. Two third of the population
still depends on the subsistence agriculture. Similarly, due to lack of job
opportunities, youth migration is escalating and Nepal is facing one of the most
critical phases of development in its history (Snellinger 2009). Inadequate
infrastructure and poor road connectivity are other constraints for the
development (World Bank 2011). It follows that, poor access to electricity is
another challenge despite the country’s enormous potential for hydroelectricity.
Similarly, Nepal has huge prospective for tourism due to its unique natural
resources (Bhandari 2004). Nonetheless, Nepal has not benefited optimally
from the tourism sector for its self-sustained development. Recently
Government of Nepal (2011) has announced diverse policies for accelerating
development through proper utilization of local resources. This paper critically
evaluates the crucial policies such as Agriculture Development Strategy,
National Cooperatives Policy, National Youth Policy, and Micro-hydro for Rural
Development, and Tourism for Development. The paper discusses each of
these policies’ background; critically analyze the likelihood as well as
challenges for fast-tracking development; and finally offers some
recommendations based discussion and analysis.

ABSTRACT
The limited land availability in the city of Jogjakarta cannot support the
population growth within the urban area any longer, beside of that the city still
needs land for their activity. Thus, there is gradual shift in urbanization towards
the sub-district of Depok as Jogjakarta’s peri-urban area. The failure to notice
the development of urbanization in the peri-urban area of Depok sub-district will
lead to development which is detrimental to its occupant. Therefore an
understanding of the development of peri-urban areas under various
perspectives needs to be made. The goal of this research is to study the
development of peri-urban area of Depok, Jogjakarta from the perspective of
demographics and socio-economic conditions of its population. This research
uses descriptive-quantitative method by crosstabs analysis, demographics
transition, population structure, and socio-economic transition. The results
show that the population of Depok Peri-urban still retains its rural characteristics
condition between the year of 1980 until 1990 but the year of 1990 to 2010,
urbanization into the city of Jogjakarta significantly change the development of
the area and the characteristics of the population gradually shifted towards
urban characteristics. The changes also took place were followed by the peri-
urbanization of Depok peri-urban. Between the year 1980 to 2000, the occurring
processes in the area were sub-urbanization, then between the year 2000 to
2010, the occurring processes were centripetal migration and population
retention. The on-going changes in Depok peri-urban as a result of steady in-
migration have also created a relationship between various demographic and
socio-economic relationship within the population.

ABSTRACT
It is believed that local food crops are available widely in rural regions.
However, not all of the people consume them. The facts also show that local
food crops are placed as secondary sources of foodstuff. This aims at (1)
describing the profile of local food crops consumed by the poor rural
households and 2) exploring causes and mechanism of the poor rural
household in maintaining local food crops as their food sources in the three
different geographical regions of Kulon Progo Regency, namely the upland
region, the transitional region, and the lowland region of Kulon Progo Regency.
A household survey is conducted to achieve the above mentioned objectives.
Respondents of this research are chosen purposively from the poor households
as listed by the Kulon Progo Regional Planning Board to represent the three
regions in the regency. Three districts in the regency are selected to represent
the three types of regions respectively, i.e: Samigaluh, Pengasih, and Lendah.
A questionnaire is distributed in order to collect the data from the selected
household respondents. The findings of this research are (1) there are various
kinds of local food crops that were consumed by the respondents from three
different geographical regions. The researchers collected that there were 36
types of local food totally from these three geographical regions, (2) there were
also several motives that were important to be described in order to explained
the reason why the respondents processed local food crops such as to be sold
or to be consumed by themselves, (3) spatially, there are a specific pattern of
harvested local food crops based on the respondents perceptions in three
geographical areas: (i) based on nature, and (ii) based on human decision , (4)
there were also various methods of utilization local food crops, such as boiled,
fried, steamed, cooked into intermediate products, or cooked into final
commodities that were ready to be consumed.

ABSTRACT
There are various things attributed to urbanization. In one perspective,
urbanization is considered as a demographic phenomenon, defined as the
degree of urbanity of a community or nation, measured by the proportion of
urban population over the total of national population. In wider perspective,
urbanization is not only applied in terms of the demographic attribute, but rather
as the transformation of agricultural and rural life to an industrial and urban
based society as this greatly emphasizes on the process of socio-economic
changes (Firman, 2007). Focusing on urbanization as a socio-economic
changes, the process of urbanization in developing countries has been leading
to the present of a region with a mixture of rural and urban character so called
Peri-Urban Areas (PUA). PUA has been emerging as a part of urban growth
process as well as rural growth, regard as rural-urban transition. This
phenomenon could be clearly observed in Klaten district-Central Java Province.
Located between two strategic cities in Central Java, i.e. Yogjakarta and
Surakarta, Klaten has been experiencing a significant land conversation (among
the highest in the province) and a significant economic growth in comparison to
other districts in the province (Handayani, 2011). Accordingly, Klaten was
chosen as the case study for understanding the PUA development in Central
Java. By focusing on socio-economic perspective, this paper aims to determine
PUA typology in Klaten and further analyze the driving factors of the emerging
PUA typology. Quantitative analysis using GIS tools and scoring method was
applied to create the typology based on secondary socio-economic data taken
from statictics report. As the results of the analysis, it has been shown that most
of villages in the study area is highly rural in terms of social character. On the
contrary, in economic aspect such as employment, the PUA of Klaten
community has a strong urban character. It is classified as the fourth typology
(highly rural in social character and highly urban in economic character) among
the four identified PUA typologies in Klaten. The underlying influential factor of
the development of PUA in Klaten is very much its local potential, i.e. the local
economic activity. This may provide an evidence that urban and rural growth
could be taken place as a part of local growth which does not necessarily take
place as a part of urban growth (expansion) of the main city (growth centre).

ABSTRACT
Although models of future sustainability often talk about effectively balancing
economic, social and environmental imperatives or factors, in practice this
typically remains an elusive ideal. This paper explores the exemplary
possibilities but also dilemmas of a proposed initiative in the resource-rich but
under-developed Filippino island province of Mindanao to achieve such a
delicate balance in practice. This initiative by Raintrust Sustainable Ventures’
proposes to link foreign investment in agricultural development to both the
social advancement of local tribal peoples and the protection of large amounts
of remaining wilderness areas. Such a case study provides an exemplary basis
for discussing how a new kind of convergent rather than ‘either-or’ mindset will
be needed to achieve future sustainability in the various parts of the world
facing similar dilemmas about whether environmental protection can ever be
sufficiently reconciled with social and economic imperatives of ‘profits and
progress’. The crucial supporting role of information and geospatial
technologies in the Raintrust plan will also be discussed.
