Mapping of potential green city attributes in Batu District, Batu City

Abstract

Batu District is located in Batu City defined as BWK I which is designated as central government development, modern trades and services development, tourism development, supporting services of tourism accommodation and education area. As the center of city development, the area / development that occurs in Batu District will have an impact on the increase in temperature. This research aims to identify the Batu District based on green city attributes such as green open space, green waste, green water, green transportation, green energy, green building, green planning and design, and green community that can be developed in Batu District. The method of analysis in this research are using descriptive analysis to determine the attributes of green city that can be found in Batu District. Based on the description of the seven attributes of Batu City, it is known that Batu City has 5 green city attributes that are being developed, namely Green open space of 32.317 m2, Green Waste (separate waste bins and 5 garbage bank communities), Green Water (29 9 units of recharge wells, 4 communal waste water treatment plant (WWTP) and 1 individual WWTP. Green Energy (30 units of biogas) and Green Community (5 green city observers). As for the development of Green Building and Green Transportation attributes have not been done in Batu City.

Achievement of Performance and Evaluation of Green City Development Indicators for Sustainable Cities (SDGs) in 2030

“…The results of the Brilhante and Klaas study [15] align with the findings [18] that countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America as tropical regions have not been able to fulfill all the attributes of a green city. Furthermore, Brilhante and Klaas's study [15] analyzed 30 journals in 12 cities spread across eight countries in the world, associated with the results of the study [22] that for the case of cities in the Americas such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico.…”

“…AGCI was introduced and implemented in 2011 in countries in Asia. The eight attributes of a green city defined by AGCI are shown in Table 3 [18], [19], [20].…”

“…The only study conducted related to the assessment of green city performance in the case of "medium cities" was in Batu City [18], in which his study concluded that the implementation of green cities according to P2KH standards/attributes did not meet the required standards. This study was supported by several other studies, such as in Mamuju City, Ambon City, Gorontalo City, Palu City, Manado City, Kupang City, Mataram City, including Banda Aceh City; and the city of Yogyakarta, the area of TRH is still below 20%.…”

“…Source: [29], [30], [31], [22], [19], [18], [32], [26], [28] From the mapping results, important issues are obtained in planning and developing green cities for sustainable city development as shown in state of the art (research position) above. Five important issues need to be observed for the study of green cities, namely: a) There are similarities in some of the attribute indicators for the assessment of green cities by EPI, AGCI, and P2KH in Indonesia, so there needs to be a new formulation by integrating all the indicators referred to; b) Green city assessment based on seven (7) IHS-GCCF conceptual frameworks (Institute for Housing a Green City Conceptual Framework); c) Technological innovation of green cities, especially in the economic aspect, including environmental control through environmentally-friendly industries (environment, and air quality); d) Focus on green city assessment in medium-scale cities; and e) For the sake of integration (point a), have a strategy model for achieving green city performance on all attributes so that city functions can truly fulfill all aspects of sustainability.…”
