All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the Faculty. ABSTRACT As every place including human habitat has its sense of place, this research is set out to investigate the attributes that are forming the sense of place of an urban kampung (informal settlement). The sense of place is formed when individuals perceive their surrounding environment counting on their cognition towards space and the social atmosphere in a place. When it comes to the human habitat, the sense of place plays an important role in creating an emotional attachment of people to their habitat. Informal settlements in many cities in the Global South are facing deprivation in terms of basic infrastructure provision and segregation of its social relationship with the city structure. This applies also to informal settlements in Indonesia (urban kampungs). Urban kampungs in Indonesia nowadays, experience gradual deterioration in terms of infrastructure and physical maintenance wherein the Government of Indonesia tries to cope with this issue through a Kampung Improvement Program (KIP). However, KIP is not regarded as a sustainable program because some physically-upgraded kampungs deteriorated gradually due to poor maintenance and lack of awareness from its inhabitant. Given the above understanding, there is an urgency to look into the unique spatial and social characteristics of an urban kampung, and importantly, how the dwellers perceive their kampung in order to create a sense of place. Therefore, this study aims to explore the sense of place of an urban kampung through in-depth spatial, behavioural, and dwellers’ perception investigation. The author selected Kampung Code, Yogyakarta as a case study. More than 160 respondents were interviewed to inquire the sentiment toward their kampung. Activity mapping with snapshot method was conducted to record the use of space and types of activity occurring in the kampung throughout the day. In addition, to understand the impact of space-activity in creating a sense of place, the author employed space syntax and spatial metric analysis, then analysing their correlation with behavioural activities of the dwellers. The study found that the sense of place in Kampung Code is created by the interplays of daily activities of dwellers in the outdoor space, the configuration of space, and dweller’s perception of the place and the social value of the community. The eight favourite places give the identity and attachment towards place by promoting continuous social interaction among dwellers. The dweller’s outdoor activities mostly took place in the high locally integrated and in the less densely built-up spaces. Dwellers also triggered to participate in outdoor activities where the local people appeared in place. Therefore, there is a co-benefit between the configuration of space and the motivation of people doing outdoor activities, especially for social interaction. The dwellers are motivated to participate in outdoor activities where they see others in outdoor spaces (co-presence), at the same time, the co-presence is the positive product of good configuration of space. In conclusion, it can be said that the sense of place of the urban kampung is created by the harmony of the community that manifest in activity-space practices. Dwellers perceived that of the layout of the kampung are less important than the value of social cohesion. The presence of the dwellers in favourite places has a higher impact in stimulating interaction rather than the visual and physical quality of the kampung. Keywords: informal settlement, urban kampung, sense of place, space syntax, spatial metric, dweller’s outdoor activity and perception. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS At the very beginning, I should say my greatest gratitude to STUNED who provide me scholarship for study master in Faculty of ITC, University of Twente, The Netherlands.

Four different naturalistic measures of helpfulness were de- velopted and used: willingness to give change, willingness to coope­ rate with an interview, response to a small accident, and response to a lost postcard. The results generally showed significantly less helpfulness in Turkish cities than in towns and urban squatter settle­ ments, which showed equivalent levels of helpfulness. This supports the view that the squatters may in a pschological and social sense be «urban villagers». Consistent and considerable differences in helpful ness were also found between other typs of city districts. Some of these districts came close to the towns and squatter settle­ ments in their levels of helpfulness, suggesting that drawing distinc­ tions between environments in terms of their behavioral characte­ ristics is best done with the concept of a social-enviromental conti­ nuum rather than an urban-nonurban dichotomy. Also environmental input level as an explanation of urban social behaviour was tested in naturalistic environments, found to influence the level of help­ fulness for female subjects but not male subjects. Finally, a survey 106 NAMIK AYVALIOĞLU study was carried out in order to examine differences in attitudes of helpfulness between environements in the question.

  • Urban Villages in China NIE, Zhi-Gang and WONG, Kwok-Chun
    Urban Villages in China NIE, Zhi-Gang and WONG, Kwok-Chun Department of Real Estate and Construction University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong Email: [email protected] Abstract: There are two main types of land ownership in China – state owned land, and land owned by village communes. During the rapid urbanization of China in the past 30 years, state owned lands were sold and developed into high densities apartments. These apartments were built literally surrounding existing rural villages. Village lands were, however, not allowed to be developed because of its rural history. But when the villagers saw the profits of development, they simply build new apartments illegally at rates and densities even higher than those on state owned lands. By now, the political problems of these illegal developments are too large to be handled by local city governments. Hence, as we now see, there are high density apartments built by villagers right inside city centres. Very often these apartments are poorer in qualities. This paper traces the history of this development, and tries to induce property right implications on excessive land exploitation, in the absence of effective building regulation and control. Keywords: building regulation and control, property rights, state owned land, urban villages, village communes. 1 Historical background In mainland China, there was basically a feudal land system before the Chinese Revolution in 1911. After 1911, a system of private land ownership was still, by and large, enforced by the Chinese Nationalist Party. The Communist Land Reform started in 1946. Basically in this reform, land and other properties of landlords were expropriated and redistributed.

  • The Role of Local Leadership in Village Governance
    3009 Talent Development & Excellence Vol.12, No.3s, 2020, 3009 – 3020 A Study of Leadership in the Management of Village Development Program: The Role of Local Leadership in Village Governance Kushandajani1,*, Teguh Yuwono2, Fitriyah2 1 Department of Politics and Government, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Diponegoro, Tembalang, Semarang, Jawa Tengah 50271, Indonesia email: [email protected] 2 Department of Politics and Government, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Diponegoro, Tembalang, Semarang, Jawa Tengah 50271, Indonesia Abstract: Policies regarding villages in Indonesia have a strong impact on village governance. Indonesian Law No. 6/2014 recognizes that the “Village has the rights of origin and traditional rights to regulate and manage the interests of the local community.” Through this authority, the village seeks to manage development programs that demand a prominent leadership role for the village leader. For that reason, the research sought to describe the expectations of the village head and measure the reality of their leadership role in managing the development programs in his village. Using a mixed method combining in-depth interview techniques and surveys of some 201 respondents, this research resulted in several important findings. First, Lurah as a village leader was able to formulate the plan very well through the involvement of all village actors. Second, Lurah maintained a strong level of leadership at the program implementation stage, through techniques that built mutual awareness of the importance of village development programs that had been jointly initiated. Keywords: local leadership, village governance, program management I. INTRODUCTION In the hierarchical system of government in Indonesia, the desa (village) is located below the kecamatan (district).

As the population and economic activities increase, energy demand will increase significantly too. In the near future, Indonesia will have more limitations on fossil fuel based energy. Therefore, sources of renewable energy have to be found. On the other hand, rural areas in Indonesia suffer from lack of energy supply. Therefore, energy resilient villages need to be created. Kampung Areng in Cibodas Village, Lembang sub-district is one of the locations declared as an energy resilient village. This study focused on Kampung Areng due to previous information and studies that have shown that the farmers in this area are capable of generating renewable energy through conversion of animal waste using biogas digesters.
