MANAGING THE GROWTH OF GREATER JAKARTA: TOWARDS A MEGALOPOLIS WITHOUT SPRAWL

Within the last three decades, both suburb developments and new towns have been growing immensely around Jakarta. Lacking of greenbelts around the city, while the new towns were located too close to the main city of Jakarta, agricultural lands between the mother city and new towns were rapidly built-up by sprawl of small-scaled housing projects. The agglomeration of those urbanized areas resulted in the formation of a giant city. Costly infrastructures have to be built to serve this immense size of city. Traffic congestion occurs in all parts of the city, as a result of criss-cross daily trip of the inhabitants – which mostly depends on private vehicles. Considering the sustainability of Greater Jakarta, a proper growth policy has to be set up. The formation of a megalopolis is inevitable. However, to cope with sprawl, a smart growth for creating a compact mother city is necessary.

The continuity and change in mega-urbanization in Indonesia: A survey of Jakarta–Bandung Region (JBR) development

Habitat International, 2009

The physical development of the Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA) and the Bandung Metropolitan Area (BMA) is characterized by the formation of an urban belt from Jakarta to Bandung of about 200 km, reflecting a growing mega-urban region marked by a mixture of rural and urban activities and blurred rural-urban distinction. This process is continuing at an even with faster rate than in the period from the 1980s to the mid-1990s. In fact, the JMA and the BMA are both experiencing transformation from singlecore to multi-core cities. In the past three decades the development of socioeconomic activities has resulted in several environmental problems. The JBR also faces problems of uncontrolled land conversion. New town developments have reinforced spatial segregation by life style and income status while industrial estates are also growing in the region. There is a tendency of local governments in the JBR to try to exploit local resources excessively. The JBR is a functional region that should be managed as an inseparable region through an integrated spatial development plan. Institutional development is now critical to ensure the sustainability of the JBR.

Why Not Integrating Jakarta Metropolitan Area Zoning Regulation

Urban sprawl in Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA) happens due to the rapid urbanisation which resulted inefficient and unsustainable growth in JMA. This condition exacerbates by absence of integrated spatial plan and fragmented local government priorities. This paper examines the extent to which synchronization of zoning regulation in JMA can be used as means to managing JMA urban growth and thus reducing the negative effect on urban sprawl. As part of spatial plan integration in managing urban sprawl, local government in JMA needs to provide supporting arrangements of spatial plans which are public transportation and housing provision.

The Privatization of Metropolitan Jakarta's (Jabodetabek) Urban Fringes: The Early Stages of " Post-Suburbanization " in Indonesia (Forthcoming in Journal of American Planning Association)

Problem, research strategy, and findings: Recent metropolitan development in developed countries is associated with " post-suburbia, " or a decline in population in the former central city and the growth of polycentric structures outside the traditional core. Current urban development in Asian cities, particularly in the Jakarta metropolitan region (Jabodetabek), also reflects an early stage of post-suburbia. We examine physical development patterns and the changing role of public and private sectors, although our approach is descriptive in nature. The rapid growth in fringe areas that have developed from dormitory communities into independent towns, triggered by privatization of industrial estates and multifunction new towns, shows typical post-suburban patterns. The national government's pro-growth economic policies and the local autonomy granted to local governments have given the private sector the power tolargely control the acquisition, development, and management of land in fringe areas, accelerating post-suburban development patterns. Takeaway for practice: Planners in developing nations must be alert to the rapidly increasing role of the private sector, recognizing how the private sector can help the government to respond to regional needs for housing, jobs, shopping and educational opportunities, and infrastructure while understanding the key role that planning can and should play in ensuring private sector actions do not exacerbate regional problems and lead to uncoordinated public responses.

The Emergence of Jakarta-Bandung Mega-Urban Region and Its Future Challenges

Journal of Regional and City Planning, 2009

Studi ini mengeksplorasi hubungan antara dua wilayah metropolitan yang berdekatan, Jakarta dan Bandung, selama 10 tahun terakhir. Proses penyatuan antara dua wilayah metropolitan ini telah diprediksi oleh banyak studi, akan tetapi variable-variabel yang mempengaruhi proses tersebut masih belum jelas. Artikel ini berusaha untuk menutup kesenjangan tersebut dengan melakukan dua pendekatan. Pertama, mengukur hubungan antara Jakarta dan Bandung dengan melihat pada aliran manusia, investasi, dan komoditas. Kedua, mempelajari implikasi hubungan antara kedua pusat urbanisasi tersebut dengan koridor di antaranya. Ditemukan bahwa selama sepuluh tahun terakhir hubungan yang semakin intensif antara Jakarta dan Bandung dalam aliran manusia, investasi, dan komoditas. Pada periode yang sama, proses urbanisasi yang cepat juga berlangsung di koridor antara kedua metropolitan tersebut. Ada hubungan langsung dan tidak langsung antara kedua fenomena geografis yang pada akhirnya akan membentuk wilayah ...

THE EMERGENCE OF EXTENDED METROPOLITAN REGIONS IN INDONESIA: JABOTABEK AND BANDUNG METROPOLITAN AREA

Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies, 1995

The Jakarta Metropolitan Region (Jabotabek) is advancing to the Bandung Metropolitan Regions (BMA) and vice versa. In fact, these two metropolitan regions are being physically integrated by giant corridors of urban regions, stretching from Serang to Cikampek, and from Bandung to Jakarta, shaping an extended metropolitan region, also called a mega-urban region. There are many factors contributing to this process, i.e. large-scale housing and new town, industrial estate, and toll road development. However, this development has created many environmental problems that should be taken into consideration in formulating development policy for the future in order to avoid environmental collapse.

The Extent of Sprawl in the Fringe of Jakarta Metropolitan Area from the Perspective of Externalities

2011

The Jakarta Metropolitan area has experienced urban sprawl. Existing planning processes do not appear to manage sprawl effectively. The aim of this study is to empirically analyse the contribution of spatial externalities on sprawl, and its effect on proximate agricultural land and conservation areas. A residential location choice model incorporating externalities is constructed, and a Tobit panel data analysis is conducted using grid-based land use data. The analysis finds significant empirical evidence regarding the contribution of neighbourhood development externalities to sprawl. Implications for policy are discussed.

Regional Management of Areas with Indications of Urban Sprawl in the Surrounding Areas of Universitas Muhammadiyah, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Indonesian Journal of Geography, 2017

This research was conducted in the surrounding areas of a university, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY), which is administratively located in Tamantiro Village, Kasihan District, Bantul Regency, the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It aims to formulate the regional management of the surrounding areas as they have been presenting the indications of urban sprawl. It used a qualitative method with research data obtained from in-depth interviews to 22 informants including governmental agencies (7 informants), academics (6 informants), entrepreneurs (5 informants), and villagers (4 informants). The informants were sampled using purposive sampling method. Data processing and analysis were conducted using qualitative descriptive method, i.e. (1) data reduction, (2) data presentation, and (3) data conclusion. Data validation and reliability tests were conducted using source triangulation method. The results show that the stakeholders proposed various management strategies to improve the positive impacts and, at the same time, reduce the negative impacts of urban sprawl. These management strategies include (1) consistency in implementing spatial planning regulation, (2) spatial synergism in development planning, implementation, and monitoring, (3) assistance to the native people and the migrants, and (4) integration between the university and the village.
