Social innovation in times of flood and eviction crisis: The making and unmaking of homes in the Ciliwung riverbank, Jakarta

Abstract

This study considers displacement occurring around the Jakarta flood mitigation projects between 2015-17 and explores the emergence of social innovation by affected kampung communities along the Ciliwung River. A framework combining theories on domicide and social innovation is developed to scrutinize two main case studies, Bukit Duri and Kampung Tongkol, revealing their connection to the city's urban development trajectory as well as the continuous struggle over adequate housing for low-income groups. The study questions official plans, policies and responses towards flood-induced displacement and resettlement planning. It also brings social innovation into the debate to unpack how displacement became a key moment for transformative change. The paper argues that, although urban eviction is related to globalization, outcomes are not foreclosed. Predominant urban mechanisms are contested, shaped, and transformed by local communities.

Towards a Sustainable Metamorphosis of a Small Island Tourism: Dynamizing Capacity Building, Alternating Governance Arrangements, and Emerging Political Bargaining Power

“…According to Yin ( [40], p. 16), the case study approach is "an empirical enquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon (the 'case') in-depth and within its real-world context." In a similar vein, this study emphasises the use of a case study as a method that emphasises rigour, validity, and dependability [41] in observing the transformation of a small island from an isolated to a well-known regional tourist destination. Using a case-study approach, this research investigates the extent to which a (small) island could undergo a metamorphosis through the application of dynamic capacity building, social innovation, bottom-linked governance, and increasing the (political) bargaining power of the island's inhabitants.…”

“…The capacity-building or self-help approach "assumes that increasing the capacity of residents to address their problems will result in improvements in the quality of life and the ability of residents to help themselves in the future" ( [40], p. 14). Furthermore, community building in this paper's context is defined as an immaterial form of development that puts forward the development and strengthening of community relations from within and outside, aiming to profoundly influence changes that become the goal of action and to resolve problems that are community-identified issues [18,41].…”

Performance Evaluation of Jakarta Polder Based on the Sustainable Urban Polder Model (SUPM)

“…Secondly, what is already specific means that the Polder Board is the designated Indonesia polder management organization; hence, this entity, with its financial characteristics of revenue generating and polder fee retribution, is elemental in a polder model [19]- [21]. Further, the polder is experiencing decremental factors such as sea level rise (SLR) [22]- [24], land subsidence [25]- [28], and squatters [29]- [32]. Thirdly, priority means that setting up a Polder Board and community participation in the Polder fee becomes a priority between 2010-2030.…”
