Hakikat pembangunan berkelanjutan merupakan peningkatan kualitas hidup manusia dan menjamin keberlanjutannya. Dewasa ini, pembangunan kota hanya menitikberatkan perubahan lingkungan dan tidak membangun manusia yang menempatinya. Bahkan, perkembangan kota-kota Indonesia cenderung mengikuti mekanisme pasar, seperti permukiman di Kelurahan Terboyo Wetan Kecamatan Genuk, Semarang. Permukiman ini berkembang sejak beroperasinya zona industri Genuk pada tahun 1980-an. Awalnya, permukiman ini merupakan perkampungan nelayan yang masyarakatnya menggantungkan hidupnya pada laut. Industrialisasi besar-besaran telah mengubah kondisi kehidupan masyarakat. Untuk menelusuri lebih mendalam, penelitian ini memiliki tiga tujuan, yaitu (1) memahami kesejahteraan masyarakat, (2) memahami preferensi masyarakat terhadap kesejahteraan, dan (3) memahami seberapa besar kemampuan kesejahteraan masyarakat untuk mendukung permukiman yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan membuktikan hipotesis dengan realitas di lapangan. Temuan studi menunjukkan permukiman Terboyo Wetan rawan tidak berlanjut. Menurut penilaian objektif, dari 5 aspek kualitas hidup menurut pemahaman human settlement hanya satu aspek yang mendukung, yaitu society. Keempat aspek lainnya (man, nature, shells, dan network) tidak mendukungnya. Begitupula cara pandang warga yang bersifat antroposentris berdampak pada perilaku kurang ramah lingkungan. Ini tercermin dari makna kesejahteraan menurut warga, yaitu pemenuhan kebutuhan dasar dalam lingkup ekonomi dan belum memikirkan aspek lingkungan hidup. Bahkan, beberapa warga menganggap kondisi lingkungan yang terpuruk merupakan konsekuensi permukiman pesisir.
Climate change affects the increase in air temperature, making the dry season hotter and the humidity decrease; the difficulty of obtaining clean water and high rainfall makes the frequency of tidal waves and floods higher. This situation is placed in Tanjung Mas, a coastal village in Semarang City. Tidal flood worsens the environmental quality of community settlements, coupled with poor water quality, high population density, and unhabitable housing, making the risk of transmission of both water-borne and vector-borne diseases surge. The situation above reflects that achieving healthy city efforts is challenging for the Semarang City government and the community because of climate change. Hence, this study reveals the impact of climate change on the settlement quality that influences the healthy city achievement. This study uses qualitative methods that rely on secondary data from the government agencies’ websites and the internet. The analysis results showed that the quality of settlements in Tanjung Mas has decreased along with climate change. The community, especially the elderly and children, are also increasingly susceptible to exposure to diseases, as indicated by significant cases of diarrhea and pneumonia. Therefore, achieving a healthy city from the settlements and healthy infrastructure indicators is still not optimal.
