  • Only Yesterday in Jakarta: Property Boom and Consumptive Trends in the Late New Order Metropolitan City
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 38, No.4, March 2001 Only Yesterday in Jakarta: Property Boom and Consumptive Trends in the Late New Order Metropolitan City ARAI Kenichiro* Abstract The development of the property industry in and around Jakarta during the last decade was really conspicuous. Various skyscrapers, shopping malls, luxurious housing estates, condominiums, hotels and golf courses have significantly changed both the outlook and the spatial order of the metropolitan area. Behind the development was the government's policy of deregulation, which encouraged the active involvement of the private sector in urban development. The change was accompanied by various consumptive trends such as the golf and cafe boom, shopping in gor­ geous shopping centers, and so on. The dominant values of ruling elites became extremely con­ sumptive, and this had a pervasive influence on general society. In line with this change, the emergence of a middle class attracted the attention of many observers. The salient feature of this new "middle class" was their consumptive lifestyle that parallels that of middle class as in developed countries. Thus it was the various new consumer goods and services mentioned above, and the new places of consumption that made their presence visible. After widespread land speculation and enormous oversupply of property products, the property boom turned to bust, leaving massive non-performing loans. Although the boom was not sustainable and it largely alienated urban lower strata, the boom and resulting bust represented one of the most dynamic aspect of the late New Order Indonesian society. I Introduction In 1998, Indonesia's "New Order" ended.

  • Air Quality Monitoring
    AIR QUALITY MONITORING DEVELOPING AN AIR QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM SETTING THE OBJECTIVES Air quality monitoring is an important component of an effective air quality management system carried out to have a better understanding of the status of air quality in a certain location (ADB & Clean Air Asia, 2014). The design and purpose of an air quality monitoring activity will determine: size and sophistication of the monitoring network (including equipment); location and number of sampling stations; duration and frequency of sampling; and, most importantly, the financial and manpower resources needed to operate and sustain the network (Clean Air Asia, 2016).

  • Land Subsidence of Jakarta Metropolitan Area
    Land Subsidence of Jakarta Metropolitan Area Rochman DJAJA, Jacub RAIS, Hasanuddin Z ABIDIN and Kuntjoro WEDYANTO, Indonesia Key words: spatial planning, land subsidence, groundwater SUMMARY Land subsidence is one of vertical deformation of the earth’s crust as a consequence of crustal dynamics. Land subsidence changes the vertical position (height/elevation) of the ground control points as reference points for all engineering works, and which also influence the structure of all infrastructures and other related activities in the area. The GPS land subsidence monitoring network was established in Jakarta metropolitan area and the observations were held in December 1997, June 1999, June 2000, June 2001 and October 2001 respectively. The rate of land subsidence at each location of GPS monitoring points shown the average variations from 7.5 cm to 32.8 cm within four years period. This means that the land subsidence is influenced by the characteristic of local area where the points are located. The heights obtained by GPS satellite observation periodically has been used to figure out the trend of land subsidence and shown the largest rate of 84 mm/year at Pantai Indah Kapuk (North Jakarta). Moreover, comparing the land subsidence trend and the groundwater level trend at the wells located close to GPS monitoring points, a positive correlation between the two phenomena is shown. This can be concluded that the land subsidence is also influenced by groundwater extraction. Considering the land subsidence effect, the investigation of land subsidence in Jakarta metropolitan area and other cities is essential in support of spatial planning at present as well as in the future and of monitoring the established physical facilities.

  • Expanding Ciliwung Not Solution to Flooding
    ARTIKEL DAN BERITA LINGKUNGAN HIDUP SURAT KABAR : JAKARTA POST EDISI : 1 Desember 2012 SUBYEK : Banjir HAL. : 9 Expanding Ciliwung not solution to flooding An official from the Ciliwung and Cisadane Rivers Control Office has said that the plan to dredge Ciliwung to solve Jakarta’s flood problems may end to no avail without sufficient green spaces to support the river.Pudji Rahardjo, an official from the office, said that the office’s plan to expand the river to 35-meter-wide to prevent flooding starting next year would flop if the number of water catchment areas stayed at its current level of 9 to 10 percent out of Jakarta’s total area. “A city should have 30 percent green space. Even if we expand the river, floods will be inevitable and we won’t be able to cope with climate change. There will also be higher rainfall without sufficient water catchment areas,” Pudji explained on Friday as quoted by tribunnews.com.Pudji said that the river, which is the capital’s main waterway, will be expanded to accommodate 493 cubic meters per second of water. The river is currently 5 to 8-meter-wide and can currently only accommodate 50 cubic meters of water per second. Ciliwung River is one out of 13 rivers flowing in the capital. The river flows from its source in Bogor, West Java, to the Jakarta Bay. When the river overflows, it affects many residents as it runs through the city’s busy and residential areas.Despite its impacts, the river has never been dredged like other rivers.

  • Evolutionary Patterns in Indonesian Shopping Centers: the Case of Jakarta
    EVOLUTIONARY PATTERNS IN INDONESIAN SHOPPING CENTERS: THE CASE OF JAKARTA Widiyani, PhD Candidate Urban Planning Group, Faculty of Architecture TU/e [email protected] Harry J.P. Timmermans Urban Planning Group, Faculty of Architecture TU/e [email protected] In the second term of 2006 Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, experienced the largest retail growth in the Asian Pacific region. With more than 130 commercials venues in 2010, the growth of Jakarta’s shopping centers is not only reflected in numbers but also in their physical size. In part, this evolution of shopping centers reflects the globalization of shopping centers development and major retailers. The location, composition and design of such centers strongly resemble other shopping centers in the Asian Pacific and the United States. At the same time, however, other centers seem more unique to Indonesia. In that sense, it is rather difficult to univocally assign these centers to the categories used in the classification suggested by International Council on Shopping Center Classifications (ICSC). The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the evolution of shopping centers in Jakarta using data from 1960-2010. To that end, the evolution of the shopping center in Jakarta is compared to global milestones in shopping center history identified in the literature on shopping centers. Possible reasons such as the physical impact of the decline in business and influence of the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) will be discussed. By mapping the data, it is found that the growth of shopping centers in Jakarta is scattered and generated some new clusters.

  • Promoting Environmental Awareness to Underprivileged Children in Jakarta by Holding a Special Event “The Joy of Children 2016”
    PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS TO UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN IN JAKARTA BY HOLDING A SPECIAL EVENT “THE JOY OF CHILDREN 2016” Magdalena Fenisia Caroline, A.M. Kiki Srirejeki STIKOM - The London School of Public Relations Jakarta [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Lack of awareness to the urgency of environmental issues, especially those related to water pollution, has become one of the reasons among underprivileged children in Jakarta for not conserving the environment because it is not really a matter for them. They are not aware about the correlation between how people affect the water quality and the damages caused to marine environments. To cope with the water pollution issue, it is important to enact educational programs for them so they can be informed of how to conserve water, have proper hygiene, and maintain sanitation. Therefore, the writer created a pilot project focusing on underprivileged children in Jakarta to promote awareness of water pollution by holding a special event “The Joy of Children 2016” – Generasi Pelindung Air on 6th and 7th August 2016 at Cakung and Cilincing, areas in the outskirts of Jakarta. It was supported by WWF Indonesia Panda Mobile, SiDalang (Kreasi Daur Ulang), and WatSan Action – Yayasan Tirta Lestari who took part as the educators for the event. By using human-centered approach in special event concept, the writer conducted the workshop at where the problem is, by walking a tour through the community to identify and highlight the problem, to have a discussion, and to play a game with the experts. It was successfully held and the objective of the event was not only achieved for the children participant but also for the committee.
