Geospatial Valuation of Urban Farming in Improving Cities Resilience: A Case of Malang City, Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract. Urban farming is recently acknowledged as a strategy with various services in improving cities resilience but facing cons such as land competition and rapid urbanization. The study attempts to inventory available areas for urban farming implementation and estimate the total values with case study in Malang city, Indonesia. The study divided urban farming into five forms i.e. nursery, allotment, residential, institutional and rooftop farming based on its characteristics. Land inventory has been done by estimating existing and potential areas. Existing area was manually delineated by Field Area Measure App through field visit and visualized by ArcGIS. Potential area was identified through geospatial assessment considering land use and land cover map provided by the Government of Indonesia and parcel zoning based on Guideline of Urban Farming development and literatures. The study employed Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and Market Price Method to estimate total values of urban farming. Currently there is 1.38 ha of urban farming which is equal to 0.01 % of city’s area distributed in 21 plots and 211.46 ha potential area or equal to 1.92 % of city’s area. Urban farming has services for amount of US$ 28.68 m−2 yr−1, specifically 22.86, 3.60, 0.80, 1.10 and 0.34 US$ m−2 yr−1 in terms of provisioning food; income generation; recreation and community building; education and learning; and maintenance urban comfort, respectively. If existing and potential area used for urban farming, then it could contribute to US$ 395,095.68 annually for existing and potentially up to US$ 60,646,800.35 annually for entire city.

“…Hasil-hasil penelitian mengenai ketahanan kota dan masyarakat, khususnya terhadap bencana yang terjadi di Kota Malang berfokus pada strategi (Setiadi, R. & Wulandari, F., 2016) dan peran pemerintah (Rusli & Fitriatul'Ulya, 2018). Penelitian mengenai kota tangguh, kota yang livable, dan masyarakat yang tangguh Kota Malang mengkaji aspek ruang terbuka hijau (Wikantiyoso et al, 2021), ketahanan pangan dan ketahanan lingkungan melalui urban farming (Atmaja et al, 2020), ketahanan masyarakat dalam konteks kampung tematik (Vidianti et al, 2020), dan inovasi masyarakat dalam mendukung ketahanan ekonomi (Wulandari, 2017). Kajian mengenai pembangunan berkelanjutan terkait alih fungsi lahan terutama sebagai dampak banyaknya kampus di Kota Malang mengkaji aspek keberlanjutan.…”

Understanding Urban Farming as Food Security for Community Resilience: A Study in Malang City

“…In this context, several attempts have been made to maintain agricultural land in urban farms, community gardens, or productive green areas. These are essential steps to ensure that Malang City can provide sufficient local agricultural resources to meet the food needs of its population (Atmaja et al, 2020). With increasing attention to environmental issues and desirability, there is hope that land use change in Malang City will become more thoughtful and planned.…”

“…Expressly, the urgency of the ideal green open space ratio is contained in article 16, which explains that at least 30 percent of the total area of Malang City, 20% is public green open space, and 10% is private green open space. Planners should further consider the points of convergence and divergence between these urban farms when contemplating future potential (Atmaja et al, 2020;Giriwati et al, 2018). Ultimately, the government determines whether urban farming mechanisms will be quickly developed or hindered.…”
