“…According to Kropf (2017), urban morphological studies can be divided into two main categories based on their purpose and specific applications including general informative and explanatory, and practical, evidence-based studies [43]. The first category encompasses most morphological studies about informal settlements and aims to thoroughly explain the unplanned processes of formation, transformation and consolidation of the settlements and deepen understanding of self-organised urban order [2,15,22,[44][45][46][47][48].…”

“…Therefore, the available land is often limited to the areas where no structure or income-generating activities occur or are planned. In this regard, recent morphological studies of increments of change in informal settlements provide an invaluable resource for evaluating the changes and transformation of the use of space over time [20,46,48]. Although the detailed analysis of incremental change patterns in outdoor spaces is essential for infrastructure sustainability and maintenance considerations, this topic falls outside of this paper's scope.…”

“…Frontage spaces (Figure 2a) are defined as the mediating zone or interstitial space [48] between the public face of buildings and access roads (alleyways or streets). Depending on their interface type with alleyways and their composition in the spatial layout of the settlement (i.e., the type of access-road that informal structures face) frontage space can have different forms (setback, aligned, set forward) [46], character and function.…”

Informal Land Rights and Infrastructure Retrofit: A Typology of Land Rights in Informal Settlements

Informal settlements represent a challenging operational context for local government service providers due to precarious contextual conditions. Location choice and land procurement for public infrastructure raise the complicated question: who has the right to occupy, control, and use a piece of land in informal settlements? There is currently a dearth of intelligence on how to identify well-located land for public infrastructure, spatially and with careful consideration for safeguarding the claimed rights and preventing conflicts. Drawing on a case study of green infrastructure retrofit in seven informal settlements in Makassar, Indonesia, we classify the informal settlers’ land rights into four types: ownership, use, control, and management. This exploratory study uses a typological approach to investigate the spatial dimension of land rights in informal settlements. We introduce non-registrable land interests and the partial, dynamic, and informal land use rights that impact the land procurement for infrastructure retrofit. We also create a simple spatial matrix describing the control/power, responsibilities and land interests of different stakeholders involved in the location decision making for public infrastructure. We argue that without sufficient understanding of non-formal land rights, land procurement proposals for the public infrastructure upgrades can be frustrated by the individual or group claims on the land, making the service provision impossible in informal settlements.

“…In Kibera, for instance, in the absence of official maps as well as the ongoing challenges to access and conduct field visits, online mapping has served as a key advocacy tool to identify the existing and potential COVID-19-related spatial interventions (Taylor 2020 ). Incremental adaptations and informal codes are also integral to how informal settlements work (Kamalipour and Dovey 2020 ), yet they often remain underexplored. Developing effective intervention scenarios in response to pandemics, such as COVID-19, relies on a sophisticated understanding of the micro-morphologies and adaptations across different types of informal settlements.…”

Forms of informality—ranging from informal settlements to street vending and informal transport—have become integral, yet not necessarily limited to how cities of the global South work. Our aim in this paper is to explore the dynamics of informal urbanism in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent to which forms of informality can adapt in the state of uncertainty. This paper lies in the intersections of informal urbanism and urban design in relation to public health emergencies. This is an exploratory paper in nature, structured in three main sections to focus on the implications of the Coronavirus pandemic on informal settlements, street vending, and informal transport, respectively. We point to how different forms of informality work across cities and conclude by outlining some key considerations and discussing the role of urban design in addressing the capacities and challenges of informal urbanism in the state of uncertainty facing public health emergencies such as the Coronavirus pandemic.

The research aimed to understand the process of political communication in the contestation of Mount Kelud between the Blitar and the Kediri Regency Government in regional autonomy era. Mediation and legal efforts have been carried out to resolve Mount Kelud dispute, but the Central Government has not decided the administrative boundaries of the two Regencies since 2003. The research took the perspective of Henri Lefebvre's space production, which stated that space produced in the community’s daily life (social space) and produced by power (political space). The study used a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The findings of the study revealed that the Kediri Regency Government has carried out cultural construction and communication through the “Larung Sesaji” in Kelud Mountain Festival. Meanwhile, Blitar Regency has not done similar activity; even if it has conducted the Sesani “Larung Intan.” The central government could consider the cultural space on Mount Kelud as a synthesis of social space and political space as an effort to resolve disputes over regional boundaries.
