The authors study the effect of development in Tembalang post relocation of the Diponegoro University in 1995, and establish that social, economic and physical changes occurring demonstrate establishment of gentrification in the city. The study also assesses the effect of gentrification. The study uses quantitative and qualitative methods, applied on 130 dwellers as sample unit, and utilizes Discriminant Analysis to classify the gentrification characteristic, both using questionnaire and observation. The authors conclude that development in Tembalang demonstrates gentrification that is identified based on social change, changes in population, tendency of segregation, and area's revitalization. Socially, gentrification has made Tembalang become more crowded; differences in dweller's behaviour of home rented-newcomers and homeownernewcomer and declining level of morality in Tembalang's youth are also studied. Economically, effects of gentrification is demonstrated in over 65% population as economic condition have improved due to increase of business opportunities, rapid growth in trade and service activities in the main street corridors. The authors also show that gentrification leads to increased congestion and increased criminal activities. Physically, gentrification has decreased available green space although improvement in aesthetics in terms of architecture, cleanliness, and building permanency are observed. Disparity in infrastructure services distribution is also observed on account of gentrification. 1995 Diponegoro Tembalang 130 Tembalang Tembalang Tembalang 65
Rapid urbanization in developing countries has brought some unprecedented consequences in economic, social, and most notably environmental aspects. Many cities have to be dealing with the challenges of vulnerability as the risk of disasters increases. In responding to the challenges, the concept of urban resilience has been applied as an important part of the current development policies in many countries. In Indonesia, the current spatial policy framework has underlined the importance of integrating vulnerability and environmental carrying capacity into spatial planning document. However, attention has been mostly given to metropolitan or large urban areas. This policy imbalance has put aside the problems faced by smaller urban areas or small cities, although the growing importance of small urban areas or cities is widely understood. In fact, the problems faced by small cities are not less important compared to that of large cities or metropolitan regions, especially those which are in coastal regions. This research aims at analysing how the development and planning of small cities in coastal areas considers the resilience concept. This research applied qualitative methods based on content analysis of planning documents and secondary data. This study selected Lasem, a small urban area in eastern coastal region of Central Java with some 50,000 population, as a case. This research found that the current spatial policy framework is lacking in integrating vulnerability and resilience dimension in the policy and development processes. The research recommended some key important factors to be integrated in the future urban development model.
The purpose of gender mainstreaming is to ensure that access, participation, benefits and control by men and women at the individual and household levels are well accommodated. As one of the national development principles, gender must be integrated in sectoral development including efforts to reduce poverty at the City / District level. This trigger the need to research on whether the Gerbang Hebat program initiated since April 2016 has succeeded in implementing gender-based program planning. Based on the results of the quantitative approach in structured interviews with 16 respondents representing 12 government agencies in Semarang City, the following findings were obtained. There is a merit in the context of comparisons between the purpose of the Gerbang Hebat with gender mainstreaming objective. A deeper examination of the suitability of the Gerbang Hebat as a poverty reduction strategy found a less insufficiency. Although in principle, the implementation of the Gerbang Hebat has included key variables, namely (a) opportunity provision, (b) capacity building, (c) security and (d) community empowerment. However, there is a need to strengthen understanding of the gender context at the program planner level. Specifically, program planners should be more sensitive to varying programs to provide opportunities for better quality of life improvement activities, as the final objective of all poverty alleviation programs.
Slums are one of the main problems in almost urban areas, especially in coastal areas such as in Jepara. However, the issue has not been handled comprehensively, but only partially, focusing on the physical aspects of slums only. One of the problems that have not been resolved in some slums is related to the environmental and social aspects of society. But so far, the assessment of slums by the government is still dominated by the physical aspect. This study aims to analyse the spatial assessment of slums area in Jepara City by combining physical and non-physical problems approach. The mixed method approach is chosen as the method used to answer the research objectives. By collecting primary data, secondary data and map overlay for locations that are still categorized as slum. The results show that the assessment of slum settlements in Jepara is still limited because it has not been analyzed related to socio-economic aspects in depth. In addition, the role of institutions or local communities is not strong enough yet to support the slum upgrading program. In essence, the government needs to re-examine the important indicators that need to be prioritized in the assessment of slums, so that the action handling can be done properly and comprehensively.
