Large scale development in urban areas will create impact not only to itself but to the surrounding areas. Kampong in Jakarta has its own particular structure and morphology. Originated as land for future development, lies in the middle of Jakarta, and often just at the back of the city's main street; urban kampong has high potential land value. Many scholars argue that urban kampong in Jakarta is one of the key elements of the survival of Jakarta to ne liberalization. This paper studies how does work a mutual symbiosis between Kampong Menteng Atas and large scale development. Is it a smart option to maintain kampong physical existence in urban area? Or is it a gentrification in slow progress? Using the case of kampong Menteng Atas, this paper identifies economic activities which have done by informal sectors in a kampong in Asian Metropolitan City. Kampong Menteng Atas, at Kuningan area, South Jakarta is located just at the back of Rasuna Epicentrum development, which accounts more than 40ha of land. Such large scale development has changed the economic and social environment of kampong. Kampong Menteng Atas adapted against the pressure by providing various services with low values, such as food stall, cell phone shops, laundry, and rental rooms. The captive market of these services is mostly people who work at the development, such as employee, security guards, waiters, drivers, etc. With this little "help", real estate does not need to provide these services, thus keeping the development value high. In the early stage of the development, only food stalls emerged; but in later stage of the development (after 5 years) the service became more varied. The economic changes have also encourages social changes in kampong. Tempted by high return from these new economic activities (food stall can earn up to 3mio IDR/month, laundry can earn up to 7mio IDR/month, minimum wage for Jakarta is 2.4mio/month), the indigenous community flew away from the area. Those who choose not to sell (or not yet) their properties, prefer to

Various researches on agricultural land conversions stepped into the conclusion that those conversions, into housing and industrial land uses, were difficult to be controlled. Housing and industrial functions dominated those conversions on 36% and 20% respectively in the Province of West Java while they correspondingly accounted for 57% and 22% in the Java island. Other notable features of that conversions consisted of the proximity to the economic centers and occurred in rural areas that were located in urbanized regions. This paper identified that land-use change mechanisms have been including internal migrations within their dynamics in which, on the contrary, the supply for migrants’ accommodations has not been appropriately considered as the evidence-based information into the development policy. Cikarang, a prominent District of industrial estates in the Province of West Java, reflected the Central and Local Governments’ underdeveloped capacity in terms of incorporating the mechanism, data and integrating multi-sectoral programs through housing policy. Through random sampling, migrants’ origins in both areas altogether can be figured out as follows: Bogor/Bekasi (2%), DKI Jakarta (2%), West Java (35%), Central Java/D.I. Yogyakarta (41%), East Java (6%), Outside Java Island (11%). The growing internal migrations which accompanied the increasing demand for accommodations were inadequately responded to. While considerable percentage of migrant samples (46-92% in Northern Cikarang) were found to be financially capable for paying monthly rent above the standard costs of public rental housing (Rusunawa) however the housing policy was unable to innovatively design the rental systems which expanded its benefits towards various groups of lower-income and sustain its operational costs. This paper concluded that housing policy, particularly Rusunawa, would be the key where the agricultural land conversions rate can be moderated, and the internal migrations may turn into capital.

Part of Surabaya Industrial Estate Rungkut (SIER) Area is planned to become Central Business District (CBD) in accordance with the direction of the Surabaya City Government. The land use is changed due to the decrease of carrying capacity of the infrastructure in the environment around SIER, caused by density increase since Middle East Ring Road (MERR) was opened in 2012. In addition, some of the areas that became CBD areas are part of the PT SIER area (97.4 Ha). Aim: This study was aimed to determine alternative land functions. Methodology and results: Since CBD is generally dominated by commercial properties, this research focuses on commercial property development programs carried out within the scope of the Highest and Best Use (HBU) Study. This research was conducted through location, site, and market analysis, completed with recommendation for property type in SIER location. Conclusion, significance and impact study: Based on macro market analysis, supply of retail, hotel and apartment property is increasing, while supply of office is decreasing. The results of this study are the best and highest value proposals for the development of commercial property functions (apartments, offices, shopping areas, and hotels), so that the investment is not high risk. In addition, the result can be used as a policy orientation for all interested parties, especially PT SIER in the development of CBD in its area, related to the development stage that is adjusted to the interests and market conditions.

Across the different vernaculars of the world's urban majorities, there is renewed bewilderment as to what is going on in the cities in which they reside and frequently self-build. Prices are unaffordable and they are either pushed out or strongly lured away from central locations. Work is increasingly temporary, if available at all, and there is often just too much labour involved to keep lives viably in place. Not only do they look for affordability and new opportunities at increasingly distant suburbs and hinterlands, but for orientations, for ways of reading where things are heading, increasingly hedging their bets across multiple locations and affiliations. Coming together to write this piece from our own multiple orientations, we are eight researchers who, over the past year, joined to consider how variegated trajectories of expansion unsettle the current logics of city-making. We have used the notion of extensions as a way of thinking about operating in the middle of things, as both a reflection of and a way of dealing with this unsettling. An unsettling that disrupts clear designations of points of departure and arrival, of movement and settlement, of centre and periphery, of time and space.
