“…Also equivalent to those cases is the Comprehensive Kampung Improvement Program (CKIP) in Surabaya, Indonesia [28,29]. Applying a microfinance scheme, the targeted communities are involved from the beginning of this program, including the institutionalization by forming Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) required, such as Yayasan Kampung/YK (Kampung Foundation) responsible for the physical improvement and related activity coordination, Koperasi Serba Usaha/KSU (Business Cooperative) responsible for the microfinance and financial education, and Kelompok Swadaya Masyarakat/KSM (Self-help Community Group) with the targeted people as the members, to run the program.…”

Indonesia has committed to accomplish "cities without slum" target in 2019 through the national program of Action Planning for Preventing and Improving the Quality of Urban Slum Settlements (RP2KPKP) launched in 2015. Nanga Bulik town in Kabupaten (Regency) Lamandau of Central Kalimantan Province is among those included in the program; the RP2KPKP of which has been completed in 2016. This paper focuses on how participatory approach has been applied in the planning process. The planning has employed mostly qualitative approach with documents study, field observation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving all stakeholders, complemented with quantitative one especially in the aspects of urban and architectural design. The findings have suggested that the community participation in Nanga Bulik case has gone beyond the requirement commanded by the Indonesian laws on development planning and spatial management to ensure the target achievement in 2019. It is crucial because a higher level of the plan implementability would ensure more sustainability of the slum improvement. Essential lessons can be learned from this real participatory planning, which could be the beginning of the third generation of planning in Indonesia.

“…This incongruence -KSU's larger role in managing microfinance but YK's greater authority in decision-making -impeded implementation in many kelurahan and even bred conflicts between the YK and KSU. In Kenjeran, lack of trust between the YK and KSU officials divided along ethnic lines resulted in the YK appropriating control over the revolving fund, which hampered the KSU's management of microfinance 15 that abetted its dismal performance (Das, 2015). Given the YK's relatively much shorter role compared to the KSU's, it would have been more effective to let just one CBO handle both physical upgrading and microfinance, with less redundancy, delays, and conflicts during implementation.…”

“…The Kampung Improvement Program (KIP) began to be implemented in Jakarta and Surabaya in 1968 [6]. KIP is the first successful program to be recognized globally [7] and arguably the largest state-led program in some countries for more than three decades (Steinberg (1992) & Silas (1992) in [8]). The activities undertaken are to integrate the role of government and society in improving the environment [9].…”
