2 FOREWORD Indonesia has been actively participating in the United Nations activities on housing and settlements development since the First Habitat Conference on Settlement in Vancouver in 1976 and the Second Habitat Conference in Istanbul in 1996. In view of that, Indonesia has committed to implement the Vancouver Declaration, Istanbul Declaration, and Habitat Agenda. Indonesia will serve as a leader in Asia Pacific Region to prepare Habitat III Conference, which shall be held in Quito in October 2016. While in July 2016, Indonesia will host the Asia Pacific Regional Preparatory Meeting in Surabaya. In respect to Habitat III Conference, Indonesia has prepared a draft of the Indonesia National Report by involving all relevant stakeholders from the government, academics, practitioners, and observers. This report shall be submitted to the UN Habitat. As a member of Habitat III Bureau, Indonesia works together with the Habitat III Secretariat to discuss the conference preparations, and hosts a series of international and multi-stakeholder events in order to collect inputs for the New Urban Agenda. Some of our prominent colleagues are currently serving as experts in the Habitat III Policy Units, and were involved in the preparation of The State of Asian and Pacific Cities 2015 published mutually by UN Habitat and UN ESCAP. Indonesia is fully committed to advance community empowerment through the Regional Center for Community Empowerment in Housing and Urban Development (RCCEHUD), and to serve as a member of the 5th Bureau of the Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference for Housing and Urban Development (APMCHUD V 2014-2016), President of the Eastern Regional Organization for Planning and Human Settlements (EAROPH 2014-2016). Based on the guidelines of UN Habitat, Indonesia National Report comprise of six topics, namely: (1) Urban Demographics; (2) Land and Urban planning; (3) Environment and Urbanization; (4) Governance and Institutional; (5) Urban Economics; (6) Housing and Basic Services. In addition to describing Indonesia‘s achievement in each of the aforesaid six topics, the Indonesia National Report also identifies challenges and future agendas regarding the sustainable settlements and urban development. We look forward to participating constrictively in the Habitat III Conference, and hosting the Third Preparatory Committee Meeting (PrepCom3) for Habitat III in Surabaya in July 2016. The meeting will be the very last global preparatory meeting before the Habitat III Conference in Quito, and we do hope that we are of the same mind on key issues of the New Urban Agenda. Minister for Public Works and Housing M. Basuki Hadimuljono Indonesia National Report 2016 3 4 PREFACE Approaching the conference on Habitat III in 2016, each UN country member has to prepare a national report reporting their achievement of the Habitat Agenda, which will then be used as inputs for formulating the next agenda of Habitat III. This national report consists of implementation of the Habitat Agenda, issues and challenges faced by each member country, and thoughts that contribute towards the future agenda. UN Habitat provided the guideline and format for the writing of the national reports that comprise six topics, thirty issues and twelve indicators. The sixth topics are (1) Urban Demographic; (2) Land and Urban Planning, (3) Environment and Urbanization; (4) Urban Governance and Legislation; (5) Urban Economy, and (6) Housing and Basic Services. This national report would not reflect the commitment from the head of the Nation, as was presented as the documents from Habitat Agenda. This new format is seen as the elaboration and the reformulation of the commitment of Habitat Agenda, specifically on adequate shelter for all and sustainable human settlement. The shift from the field of housing and settlements towards sustainable urbanization is in line with the transformation at the world scale. The world has become more urbanized, and generates its own problems and challenges for the future existence of the human settlements. UN Habitat views that the concentration of human settlements for the next two decades is sustainable urbanization. The process of writing Indonesia‘s National Report on the Implementation of the Habitat Agenda began early 2014. A national team was formed, led by the Ministry of Public Works. The team consisted of a steering committee, panel of experts and consolidating team to edit and finalize the report. In 2014, three workshops were held prior to the submission of the first draft of the National Report in September 2014. The workshops were held in three different cities to allow wider participation of local experts and stakeholders. The workshops were aimed to identify progress of the implementation of the Habitat Agenda, key issues and challenges for future urban development in the six themes. Actions Taken in Drafting Indonesia National Report Indonesia National Report 2016 5 A series of focused group discussions were held during 2015, involving the consolidation team (as major edirots) and inviting prominent experts to gain inputs on the draft and finalize the report. The team decided to separate the issues on future challenges and new urban agenda from the 6 theme chapters, into separate chapters. These two chapters are most important as they will be inputs for the New Urban Agenda. In other side we have encountered challenges and problems in the process of writing National Report. One major problem in writing this report were lack of data as requested in the list of indicators. We recommend that the New Urban Agenda will be supported by clear indicators that can be adapted at the national and local level. Another problem is that urbanization is multi-sector and national policies and strategies on urban issues in Indonesia are by under different Ministries. This requires stronger efforts for coordination and compilation of the report. Our special thanks to the following institutions for their continuous support during the process of writing the National Report: Ministry of Public Works and Housing, National Planning and Development Agency (Bappenas), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Home Affairs, Statistics Indonesia, The Urban and Regional Development Institute (URDI), Institut Teknologi Sepuluh November (ITS), Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Diponegoro, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Universitas Nasional Sebelas Maret (UNS), Local Government of Surakarta, Local Government of Surabaya, Local Government of DI Yogyakarta, Indonesian Association of Planners (IAP), Indonesian Association of Architects (IAI), EAROPH Indonesia, Habitat Agenda Partners Indonesia (HAPI), Kemitraan Habitat Indonesia (Habitat Partnership), Habitat Indonesia National Secretariat and other individuals/institutions whose name we can‘t mention specifically.
