Creative Collaboration in Urban Polder in Jakarta, in the Framework of Integrated Water Management
The urbanisations in developing countries had happened rapidly since 20th Century. The Coastal Cities were affected due to unplanned and uncontrolled developments which encroaching the rural and lowlands. And because of these unsustainable developments, many environmental issues happened to the cities such as floods. Floods were contributed by insufficient infrastructure for flood
prevention and flood mitigation, unmanaged infrastructure and climate change.
Understanding these facts, we believe that Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) is actually needed to be implemented to solve these problems. It could be defined as “A process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources, in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.” In this case, IWRM
actually comprises the efforts of controlling the land use change and urban surface run-off; drainage planning and management; landscape design; and infrastructure provisions, which conducted simultaneously. We concluded that to conduct successful IWRM, creative collaboration among Urban Planning Authority and Drainage Management Authority is compulsory.
In the urban’ low-lying lands like Jakarta, extra flood prevention and mitigation efforts are needed. A polder system is needed as is appropriate and effective for
flood control. The polder is required to be managed as integrated drainage system consisting dikes, drains, retention ponds, outfall structures or pumping stations.
Further, designed landscape in the polder is required to ensure its effectiveness. Polder dikes also must be planned and designed considering potential of social conflict and accessibility issue. Lastly, maintenance of infrastructures becomes a critical point for successful polder operation.
The Polder system also could not be planned separately from macro spatial plan, urban design and water management of the macro (river basin) system.
Understanding this, we believed that creative collaboration in the Integrated Water Management especially in Polder System should be joined by Government, the People and the Private sector. This will eventually ensure the sustainable
development of urban lowland areas
“Creative and Participative” Remaking of Place Strategy for Jalan Panggung, Surabaya
Surabaya, the second - largest city of Indonesia possessed great historical treasures. Jalan Panggung was located in the Surabaya Old City and had potential as tourism and commercial areas because of its architectural quality and existing thriving activities. The area also connected historical areas such as Red Bridge (Jembatan Merah), Chinatown (Kembang Jepun) and the Arabic Quarter (Kampung Ampel).
There was a need for “Creative and Participative” Remaking of Place Strategy for Jalan Panggung, Surabaya. The strategy consisted of building the information sharing and stakeholders’ discussion for historical areas redevelopment. Therefore, an alternative information sharing methods were utilised such as: SWOT analysis and Visual Research Methods, especially Video Documentary, (Sanoff, H.,1991), were employed to build the information sharing network.
Afterwards, Focus Group Discussions and Stakeholders Meetings were conducted to share the information to the public. Lastly, Final Group Discussions were held to discuss the possibility of allowing some creative economy with architectural redesign and artistic educational activities
APPLYING INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL PLANNING AND ADAPTIVE LANDSCAPE EVALUATION TOOL FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF SUSTAINABLE SPATIAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, STUDY CASE BINTAN ISLAND, INDONESIA
Developing countries, like Indonesia, face great development pressure due to economic development for great number of populations. Various environmental problems later emerge due to unplanned, uncontrolled and unsustainable land use development as well as severe environmental destructions. The need for integrated ecological planning actually emerges from this concern.
The integrated ecological planning could be defined as “Planning process that consider the ecological condition, environmental carrying capacity, and other social economy that affect the location. Later on, integration of infrastructure planning such as water management, mass transportation, waste management, energy conservation, etc. Involvement of stakeholders would be integrated in the process application. “
The real ecological planning application face constraints such as the lack of political will, lack of expertise, tools, research, and funding in government as well as consultants. But still the integrated ecological planning should be applied to achieve the more sustainable development as well as to conserve of strategic or important ecological areas.
One of the important steps of ecological planning is the landscape evaluation methodology. The evaluation method research was started in 2005, for National University of Singapore, MSc Environmental Management program. Later through real application, we redefine the method with real application in other planning projects in other countries.
Our research involves identifying the key elements of all evaluation methods, which were later distilled and refined to build on Adaptive Landscape Evaluation Tool or ”ALiT”. The strengths of system lie mainly in establishing evaluation methods, adaptive list of data, and scoring thresholds that embraces sustainable land development principles. The method was validated in Bintan Buyu, Bintan Island, Indonesia and proven to be applicable for local government. While the criteria and other scoring system would need to be adjusted to each different cases.
The proposed system is comprehensive yet manageable and practicable. It encompasses four important elements as part of the development and evaluation process, namely, initial secondary data collection, rapid survey to verify critical data, multi-disciplinary analysis with Geographic Information System (GIS), and lastly, stakeholders’ inputs. The authors believe that ALiT can be a very useful tool for reducing environmental destruction while accommodating economic development in developing countries.
We understands that there are constrains in method application due to lack of political will as well as limited funding to gather all environmental, social and economical aspects. Because of that, the vision for developing Sustainable Spatial Planning must be made first between stakeholders of the region comprising Public, People and Private (Government, the People and the Private sector). And Integrated Spatial Planning with Focus on Ecological Approach would be the near-future trend for the World

ABSTRACT
The growing aging population in the World created awareness of accessible facilities for users with various abilities. Therefore, better inclusive planning and design of streets, paths, public spaces, and transportation systems are needed. Bus is the most chosen short-and-medium-distance transportation for Indonesian because of its affordable price and flexible timetable. But, most bus terminals are not accessible and this is the rationale of the research. Inclusive design could be a better answer to the problem. It is defined as "The design of mainstream products and/or services that are accessible to, and usable by, as many people as reasonably possible without the need for special adaptation or specialised design."
Purabaya Bus Terminal, is located in Waru, Sidoarjo, but serves Surabaya, the second largest city in Indonesia. The terminal serves approximately 24 millions of passengers annually or average of 56,440 daily passengers. The research was an exploratory accessibility evaluation of Purabaya Bus Terminal. The rationales were to understand the spectrum of Purabaya Terminal; to understand the inclusive users’ needs in Purabaya; to measure the accessibility level of Purabaya Terminal based on the 7 Universal Design. Firstly, Visual Research Method was employed to explore the users’ spectrum and collect data for the accessibility evaluation. Later on, analysis and users interview were conducted. The research scopes were limited to passengers-used-areas in the Purabaya Bus Terminal
Normally, the human was categorised as disable and normal persons. But in the research, there are degrees of ability of the users observed. And the spectrum of Purabaya’ users were found very unique. In the visual survey in August - September 2011, three passengers’ spectrums were found in Purabaya Terminal. The 1st Spectrum was the group of persons with both hands carrying many heavy bags. The 1st Spectrum was not able to reach doors and needed larger movement spaces. The 2nd Spectrum was the group of persons whose one or both hands were free because they were not carrying luggage. The last Spectrum was the group of diffable (disabled) persons. Conclusively, 10% of passengers of 1st Spectrum could be categorised also as diffable because of reaching limitation as well as locomotion.
Purabaya Terminal in General was found inaccessible by the Petra Christian University Team because it failed to fulfil Principle 1. Equitable Use; Principle 2. Flexibility in Use; Principle 5. Tolerance for Error; Principle 6. Low Physical Effort; and Principle 7. Size and Space for Approach and Use. On the other hand, some respondents considered it to be accessible. This was caused by the adaptation of passengers and the behaviour of travelling in group.

ABSTRAK
Ruang Publik Kota yang berkelanjutan seharusnya menjadi wadah pendidikan bagi masyarakat Kota tersebut untuk ekologi, sosial sekaligus ekonomi dari Kotanya. Surabaya yang merupakan kota terbesar kedua memerlukan upaya pendidikan yang terintegrasi dengan program – program Pemerintah Kota seperti “Green and Clean” Surabaya untuk mencapai hal ini. Karena itu diusulkan desain sebuah Museum Ekologi di Surabaya Timur dengan desain yang menarik, yang didedikasikan untuk lingkungan hidup. Museum ini memiliki konteks ekosistem Mangrove, Sungai, Tambak dan Sawah. Karena faktor lingkungan ini dipilih pendekatan perancangan arsitektur ekologis dengan desain sistem sirkulasi dan sistem zoning yang menggabungkan pengalaman eksterior dan interior dari kawasan yang menarik ini.
Riset ini dilakukan dengan studi banding terhadap 2 buah Museum Ekologi di Inggris dan Wetland Park di Hongkong. Selain itu diadopsi pendekatan Konsepsi LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for New Construction juga diadopsi seperti Tapak yang Berkelanjutan (Sustainable Sites), Efisiensi Air (Water Efficiency), Energi dan Atmosfir (Energy and Atmosphere), Material dan Sumber Daya (Materials and Resources), Kualitas Udara Dalam Ruangan (Indoor Environmental Quality), dan Proses Inovasi dan Desain (Innovation and Design Process) (http://www.usgbc.org/).
Kemudian berdasarkan Yeang, K., (2008), dilakukan simulasi untuk mendapatkan bentuk massa bangunan museum yang optimal dari sisi manajemen radiasi matahari dengan software Ecotect. Hasil studi ini diakomodasi dalam transformasi bentuk massa, desain selubung dan penghijauan pada tapak. Ternyata ditemukan desain atap berkanopi lebar dan green roof dapat mengurangi radiasi matahari yang tinggi. Desain shading dan pemilihan material dinding bata dan beton juga dapat mengurangi radiasi pada selubung bangunan.

The Low Cost Apartment for Wheelchair User
The low-cost apartment concept was prescribed by Government to supply residential needs. The persons with disability (PwD), constituting 0.74% of Indonesian in 2000, (BPS, 2001) also needed the housing provision. In Surabaya, approximately five thousand (5000) PwD were documented in 2010 or 0.1% from total population (BPS Surabaya). Therefore, the accessible low-cost apartment concept was needed for the provision. The 36-sqm-apartment design would cater person with a disability (a wheelchair user) and spouse were designed with five principles of inclusive design of Tanuwidjaja (2015). The design was conducted with the participatory design process and several workshops with many users spectrum (wheelchair users, blind and deaf persons). The principles implemented in the design were: User-Centered, Equitable Use but Reasonable Use, Simple and Intuitive Use, Low Physical Effort, and Prohibition of Usage Error. The five principles were implemented inaccessible doors, reachable spaces, and furniture, as well as accessible toilets. All these ensures that the apartment unit to become accessible
