Abstract

The advancement of information and communication technology has had a major impact on the world as it increases the fulfillment of people's needs and comfort. This can be seen in urban development with the formation of the concept of a smart city, a city that integrates technological advances with people's lives to make effective decisions so as to improve the welfare of its people. This paper discussed the implementation of the smart city concept in Bekasi City, Indonesia. Along with its development, there are several applications of smart city elements in Bekasi City that are still far from expectations regarding the service quality and coverage. This study aims to see how smart city pillars are implemented in Bekasi City. Nonparticipant observation is used to conduct the study. The result shows that the range of smart city applications in Bekasi City is quite narrow and some service quality is still poor. Only 10 out of 21 criteria have been fulfilled in the city. This research needs further study on the implementation of smart cities in other Indonesian cities to see the effectiveness of its application and other solutions that can be offered.

Abstract

Jakarta is the most populated city in Indonesia with a long history of natural disasters, particularly floods. The city's geographical condition has been said as the leading cause of the recurrent floods that happen over the years. This situation has predominantly affected the people living in the flood-prone locations in several settlements along the Ciliwung riverbanks. The government has conducted various efforts to enhance the city resilience towards flood incidence, including utilizing smart city approach, such as flood monitoring applications to give a real-time information related to certain circumstances that possibly caused flooding. This effort aims to increase the community awareness toward disaster events.The aim of this paper is to analyse the effectiveness of people using the flood mitigation application as an early warning system in Jakarta. To construct this objective, questions for instance as to what extent people are familiar with the application, how much they understand its function, and whether they face any difficulties in using the application during the flood events are proposed. The quantitative approach is being used in this research to gather people's opinions towards the application, specifically JAKI. Preliminary results suggest that there are still some gaps in the implementation of technology applied with how society comprehends it, resulting in the interference with the application’s intention as an early warning system. Some important features that need to be reformed in favor of public use are the application basis, target group, data selection, and application in disaster management schemes. While the research is still on-going, an understanding that technology should be aligned with the community's ability to use it should be redefined in the implementation of smart city principles in Jakarta.

Abstract

In Indonesia, sick building syndrome (SBS) and related health problems are suspected among the residents in emerging new urban houses constructed of modern building materials without sufficient material standards or minimum ventilation rates. First, this study investigates the current conditions of indoor air quality (IAQ) and health in newly constructed high-rise apartments in major cities of Indonesia, in contrast with traditional landed houses, the so-called Kampongs. Concentrations of formaldehyde and TVOC were measured, whereas a face-to-face interview was conducted. A total of 896 respondents were interviewed, and 207 rooms were measured during 2017-2019. The results showed that overall, the newly constructed apartments recorded higher formaldehyde levels compared to Kampongs. The status of the self-reported multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) among occupants was significantly different between the two building types. Furthermore, the occupants with higher levels of TVOC, in particular, were associated with the higher MCS risks, especially in the apartments. Second, we conducted a modification project in several apartment units of Surabaya to examine the effects of exhaust fans on IAQ. In most units, the concentrations of both formaldehyde and TVOC were reduced after the modification. Further, a follow-up measurement was conducted in the same units for about a month.

Abstract

This research explored the implementation of concept of Surakarta ecocultural city platform in the era of Pandemic Covid-19 in 2 case study areas of Balekambang Park as the Natural and Heritage Park and Jayengan Jewelry Kampung (JKP) as Heritage Creative Industry-based Kampung Tourism. Eco city is basically the concept to create new urban development to be more ecologically, liveable and Sustainable, while the cultural city refers to the city, which focusing on cultural and performance for branding the city.  Ecocultural city is mainly related to connectivity among people, place and culture and this concept is mostly applicated in the tourism world, where to maintain this sustainably, this has to address people, place and its cultural relationship with biophysical aspects. Therefore, in the era of disruption of COVID-19, the ecocultural based of tourist destination areas are highly affected due to the loss of tourists visiting the areas. The research found that the model of People, place, technology and government proposes for increasing adaptability of people to the disruption condition, initiating resilient, creative, healthy and smart places, exhalating technology for added value of tourism product and improving resilience  government to adapt, absorb the change, collaborating multi stakeholder partnerships

Abstract

Due to the geographic condition of the country, Indonesia is very vulnerable to natural disasters (BNPB, 2017). As a response, this country has various mechanisms of assistance to disaster-affected communities and assistance to fulfil basic needs for disaster victims, one of which includes the provision of ‘huntara’ as temporary shelter for the victims (BNPB, 2008). Because of its temporary nature, transitional shelters in Indonesia generally have a relatively short life cycle of building materials and may produce quite the amount of waste which would be harmful to the environment. This study attempts to understand the material life cycle process in transitional shelters built during the eruption of Mount Merapi Eruption in 2010. This study uses the approach of qualitative research with two main data collection methods—observations and interviews. This study found that the design of transitional shelter for this disaster had allowed for most of the building components to principles of Design for Disassembly, which supports the potential for material loops to occur and possibly to fulfil the characteristics of sustainable transitional shelter. However, neither the victims nor the aid providers were fully aware of this potential: thus, it could not be optimally utilised. This condition is quite unfortunate, considering that Indonesia is very prone to disasters so that transitional shelters will often be needed. Therefore, further studies are required to formulate various design standards for transitional shelter in Indonesia to optimise the potential for longevity and minimise environmental impacts.
