Understanding non-permanent mobility: Factors influencing resident movement in Racang Welak Village, Welak Subdistrict, West Manggarai Regency
Get PDFBackground: The factors of mobility in this study refer to the push and pull factors influencing the non-permanent mobility of the residents of Racang Welak Village, Welak Subdistrict, West Manggarai Regency. Most of the residents in Racang Welak Village are seasonal farmers. Non-permanent mobility is influenced by good accessibility and sufficient access to technology. The area of Racang Welak Village cannot fully meet the needs of the local community, leading them to seek employment outside their area despite the strategic potential of Racang Welak to boost their economy. Method: The objectives of this study are to identify the factors that cause the residents of Racang Welak Village, Welak Subdistrict, West Manggarai Regency, to engage in non-permanent mobility. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and documentation. The sample consists of residents of Racang Welak Village who participate in non-permanent mobility. Result: The results of this study show that the fertile soil conditions in Racang Welak Village allow for the cultivation of various types of crops, resulting in many residents working as seasonal farmers. Seasonal farmers whose needs are not met locally often seek information about job opportunities elsewhere. With information received from family members in the destination area, the residents of Racang Welak Village decide to work in other regions without the initial intention to settle there. Conclusion: The push factors for non-permanent mobility among Racang Welak residents include unmet needs in their home area. Despite having to bear transportation costs, they still choose to engage in non-permanent mobility. The pull factors include a pleasant environment, good social interactions, and job opportunities obtained through relatives in the destination area. Additionally, the work locations are strategic and offer jobs that match their professional skills, resulting in higher incomes. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research aims to identify the push and pull factors of non-permanent mobility and how the inability to meet local needs drives residents to seek employment outside the region. These findings apply to designing local economic development policies that can reduce dependence on non-permanent mobility by increasing job opportunities and accessibility in the region of origin
Penataan ruang kota Jakarta Pusat berbasis kualitas air tanah untuk perkotaan berkelanjutan
Get PDFThe rapid development and urbanization process in urban areas have exerted significant pressure on the groundwater quality of urban areas. The objective of this paper is to spatially analyze the groundwater quality in Central Jakarta and its relationship with urban spatial planning and land use. The approach taken in this paper is quantitative, involving the collection of secondary data and spatial and descriptive data analysis. Groundwater quality parameters include color, turbidity, iron (Fe), mercury, cadmium, hardness (CaCO3), hexavalent chromium, nitrate, nitrite, zinc (Zn), sulfate, lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), detergents, organic (KMnO4), total coliform, E. Coli, Florida, and pH. The analysis results indicate that the land use in Central Jakarta is predominantly residential, with the dominant critical parameter affecting groundwater quality being detergents. Based on the analysis of land use and observed critical parameters, anthropogenic factors, particularly residential activities, are identified as the most dominant factor contributing to the decline in groundwater quality in Central Jakarta
The role of green open spaces in the mental health and happiness of urban communities
Get PDFBackground: Mental health is the most important thing in human life, but in reality in Indonesia the level of mental health disorders is still high. People who live in urban areas are vulnerable to mental health disorders such as anxiety, stress and depression which are caused, among other things, by high work pressure and lack of recreational activities. Method: This article uses a non-experimental correlational method, collecting secondary data from various sources and journal articles without experimental manipulation. The focus is on urban communities. Findings: Difficulty accessing natural things, such as rural environments, even something "green". is one of the factors that makes urban residents easily experience depression. Depression can cause decreased energy, sleep disturbances, changes in appetite, and other physical problems, therefore fulfilling recreational needs that are cheap and easily accessible through public open spaces can be a solution to reduce people's stress levels. Conclusion: Green open space (RTH) provides an opportunity to escape from fatigue, work pressure, city crowds so that people can release their stress by immersing themselves in nature and connecting themselves with the natural environment. RTH has many positive benefits so its existence is very necessary, especially in densely populated residential areas. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study proposes a model for integrating green open space (GOS) into urban planning that considers physical aspects and therapeutic functions for mental health. This model combines evidence-based GOS design with community mental health programs, creating a 'green healing zone' that can be accessed and optimally utilized by city residents to reduce stress and improve mental well-being
Optimization of integrated watershed recovery: comparison of management systems in Japan and Indonesia
Get PDFAs a country prone to hydrometeorological disaster and demographic problems, Japan is very concerned about integrated watershed sustainability, as a preventive and sustainable water resource in the future. In contrast to Indonesia, the rapid population growth encourages various activities in the upstream such as encroachment, conversion to agricultural land, settlements, and other economic activities causing land degradation and environmental quality to decline. The critical watershed recovery program has been carried out for a long time, but until now this problem has not been resolved. This study aims to determine the best integrated watershed management system that can be applied to accelerate the recovery of critical watersheds in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach, with a comparative descriptive method to compare watershed management in Japan and Indonesia based on a literature study. It was found that land rehabilitation activities through replanting upstream watershed areas require collaboration in comprehensive and integrated management from upstream to downstream. The practice of inter-regional cooperation and community involvement through cross-subsidized funding and joint restoration activities is a scheme that needs to be considered for accelerating watershed recovery, accompanied by the integrity of the parties and a transparent and accountable monitoring system
Pusaka pavilion: urban acupuncture as narrative pathway to relive history
Get PDFPabean Market is known as one of the legacies of Dutch colonialism in Surabaya. The constant hustle and bustle of fishmongers, customers, fish laborers, distributors, to commodity trucks remains to this present day. More often than not, architectural history or cultural heritage of the site go unnoticed or forgotten. To evoke the sociocultural context and involve the community in its preservation, the design also utilizes mobilization or circulation as a narrative strategy. The author focuses on “Storytelling for Forgotten History, Vehicles for Cultural Heritage”, aimed at supporting the commercial activities without leaving historical memory through movement experiences. Utilizing the Force-Based Framework and analyzing the sociocultural context, culture, and needs of the site, the design proposal focuses on storytelling and cultural heritage preservation. The categorization of movement types allows for the determination of suitable media of modules to facilitate effective circulation within the designed environment. Pusaka Pavilion serves as a medium to optimize movement, enabling individuals to experience history, encounter new perspectives, and immerse themselves in diverse cultures. This article presents the conceptual framework and design approach to reflect forgotten history, revive cultural contexts, and foster an inclusive engaging environment

Get PDFoai:ojs2.journal-iasssf.com:article/165This study aimed to evaluate three aspects of Trans Sarbagita Public Transport Improvement Program consisting of the implementation of the Road Map, analysis of the factors that became the main obstacle and evaluation of the effectiveness of the programs which had been underway. The study used qualitative method with a descriptive pattern through interviews, observation and documentation of institutional factors, stages of the operation of the route, provision of means of transport / bus, provision of operation supporting facilities, financing the purchase of services, passenger fares and service quality. The results showed that the provisions of institutional facilities and institutional forms had not been fulfilled; the number of route network was not in accordance with the plan, the lack of the number of buses, bus stops and traffic signs, limited service fees and low passenger fares and service quality. Therefore a cooperation agreement should be made and the establishment of institutions engaged in service for the management, rearranging the lane routes, increasing the number of buses, bus stops and signs as needed, preparing and evaluating the suitability of bus fares and improving service quality
Mainstreaming biophilic design in residential development in Jakarta: a study with a multi-level perspective
Get PDFIn the UN's sustainable development program (Sustainable et al. for 2030), it is determined that sustainable cities and communities are one of the goals for achieving in 2030, namely goal no 11. By 2050, the world's urban population will double, making urbanization the most transformative change of the 21st century (UN-Habitat, 2017). It is undeniable that a big city like Jakarta is a city with a high population density. Human life in urban areas increasingly reduces human opportunities to interact with the natural environment, which decreases a person's general well-being (Feandri, 2016). The research will be carried out on reorganizing the city by involving natural elements through a Biophilic Design theoretical approach, a theory that utilizes human nature to be happy to be close to nature (Browning et al., 2014). This theory is claimed to improve its inhabitants' mental and physical health and direct people to take care of the environment on a larger scale
Generating walkability concept for basuki rahmat corridor: a content analysis
Get PDFWalkable City is a term for a city that has good pedestrian paths by considering 6 aspects such as connectivity, linkage with other modes of transportation, sound land use patterns, safety, quality of pedestrian paths, and the condition/atmosphere of pedestrian paths (Southworth, 2005). This study focuses on the Tunjungan area, specifically the Jalan Basuki Rahmat corridor, as it is crucial for accessibility to the trade and service area of Surabaya City. The objective of this study is to evaluate the environment of the Basuki Rahmat Street corridor and assess the current condition of pedestrian pathways. The research inquiries are as follows: 1. Identifying Basuki Rahmat sidewalk condition; 2. Generating Walkability concept through Content Analysis. Before determining the corridor segment for survey purposes, field observations are carried out as a whole. Based on these observations, 2 significant intersections divide the study area into 3 equal sizes. In addition, the existence of bridges as pedestrian crossing facilities and bus stops as pedestrian transit points is an important consideration. The Narrative process is carried out to formulate the concept of developing a walkable city. Based on the analysis results, appropriate development concepts are divided into 2, namely macro and micro development concepts. This is because the analysis of the previous target measures general and specific/detailed things, so it is necessary to distinguish between overall concepts and specific/complex concepts
