Developing DPSIR Framework for Managing Climate Change in Urban Areas: A Case Study in Jakarta, Indonesia

Abstract

From an environmentally conscious and ecological perspective, the sustainability of cities within the effects of climate change are closely related to the wise use of resources and modifications in the ecological status of the environment. In terms of the ecological environment, the sustainability of smart cities entails meeting present and future societal demands for the environment of the water, land, and air, among others. Environmental and the ecological concerns that arise from rapid climate change and monetary developments are shown in the inconsistency between ecological assets, environmental pollution, and the destruction of nature. In this study, the authors aim to develop a strategy to deal with climate change in urban areas using Remote Sensing and the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) Framework with a case study in Jakarta Smart City. The DPSIR framework, which will be developed and implemented in the city of Jakarta, is a smarter and more sustainable framework that is evaluated through a systematic evaluation of sustainability with quantitative research using the entropy weight method and Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). These methods evaluate 58 representative elements of environments at the urban level, including the shortcomings of earlier research such as data availability, spatial and temporal constraints, and several related ecological indicators, such as soil pH, wind speed, air quality index as well as land changes in the spatial (spatiotemporal) time series. The results of the study show that in the metropolitan city of Jakarta, the Drivers that are related to climate change are the rate of population growth and the rate of industrial growth which, although increases people’s income and GRDP in Jakarta; it also creates Pressures, namely an increase in the amount of water consumption and in the amount of wastewater. Based on these pressures, the environmental conditions (State) of Jakarta city have undergone several environmental changes, such as loss of water supply, changes in wind speed, changes in rainfall, and increasing concentrations of the Air Pollutant Standard Index. The Impact of these three elements resulted in the increase in household and industrial water consumption, an increase in annual electricity consumption, and deteriorating air quality. Hence, the Response to these four interrelated causal variables is that the Jakarta Provincial Government must increase annual funds for the construction of urban community facilities, increase the production capacity of clean water supply, build environment-friendly wastewater treatment facilities, increase the capacity of waste processing infrastructure and transportation fleets, and educate people to use water wisely to reduce the level of water use.

Functional Method for Analyzing Open-Space Ratios around Individual Buildings and Its Implementation with GIS

“…The crude open space consists of many types of open spaces, and specific open-space ratios are defined. Examples include green open-space ratio [24,25], green coverage ratio [26,27], public open-space ratio [28,29], space ratio [30], park ratio [31,32], water surface ratio [33,34], river ratio [35,36], and road ratio [37,38]. These open-space ratio functions are easily computed using the crude open-space ratio functions formulated in the previous section.…”

Assessing Land Resource Carrying Capacity in China’s Main Grain-Producing Areas: Spatial–Temporal Evolution, Coupling Coordination, and Obstacle Factors

“…The EW method was used to derive the objective weights according to the data itself, and its evaluation results are systematic and explanatory. The specific process of the entropy weight method is as follows [59,69]:…”

Hydrometeorological Disaster: Challenges and Mitigation in Indonesia

“…Wise spatial planning: Spatial planning that addresses disaster mitigation is vital in DKI Jakarta. Limiting development in flood-prone and coastal areas and maintaining green open land as water catchment and flood control spaces will help reduce the risk of hydrometeorological disasters (Kristiadi, Sari, Herdiansyah, Hasibuan, & Lim, 2022). 3.…”
