JAKARTA AS GLOBAL CITIES : GaWC Survey 2010

Source: Government Medium Term Plan 2010-2014 and Bappenas

• The National Development Planning Board (“Bappenas”) has stated that around USD143 billion (or 3% of GDP) will be needed for infrastructure development in 2010-2014 in order to meet the country’s economic growth target of 6% - 7% per annum from 2010 - 2014.

​

• Of this amount, the Government budget can only cover around 35% (or USD50 billion) of the total required infrastructure investment, leaving around 65% (or USD93 billion) of the investment expected to come from the non-Government sector.

LIVABLE CITY

Principles of Livable City :

​

1. The provision of basic needs (decent housing, water supply, electricity)
2. Availability of public facilities and social amenities (public transport, city parks, religious facilities / public health facilities)
3. Availability of public space to interact between communities
4. Security
5. Supports the function of economic, social and cultural of the city
6. Sanitation

Livable City is a term that describe a comfortable environment and atmosphere of the city as a place to live and work, viewed for various aspects of both physically (urban facilities, infrastructure, spatial planning, etc.) as well as non-physically (social relations, economic activities, etc.).

MOST LIVABLE CITY INDEX

Perception-based survey of the urban population, about the livability of their city.

​

The results of this study is a "snapshot“

​

MLCI IAP is the first perception-based survey index of the city’s livability and planned to be carried out annually and hopefully it will be a benchmark for quality of life in cities throughout Indonesia

​

This index also act as a feedback to stakeholders in the planning process and urban development.

​

The advantages of this index: Simple, Actual, Snapshot.

​

​

​

Surveyed Criteria and Livabillity Factors

• Physical aspects, including availability of Green space and quality of urban design
• Environmental aspects: polutions, waste management, cleanliness of te city
• Transportation: how well the city is served by public transport, including quality of your roads
• Public Health: availability and accessibility to health facilities
• Public Educations: availability and accessibility of schools and other educational facilities.
• Quality and availability of city infrastructure including utilieits, drinking water, power, and telecommunications.
• Economic conditions, availability of work and accessibility from home to work place
• Security and safety
• Neighborhood interactions, social and cultural interactions

Simple and Actual “Snapshot” of the perceptions of urban populations described in this index shows:

​

Despites the fundamental economic marvel phenomena, Indonesian major cities are currently struggling to become an ideal livable city, which require act of courage, innovations and progressive minds from the city managers, particularly mayors, to take up and implement a bold policy of urban development. 

​

City leaders must have vision, leadership and support the citizens to realize the identity of the Future Cities of Indonesia: Livable Cities

SNAPSHOT IS GOOD

• Livability of a city is the right of every citizen. City managers and governments in Indonesia need to adopt the right policies and approaches.
• Political mandate in the newly found democracy is an opportunity to plan, build and control the cities.
• Likewise, citizens in adjusting to urban lifestyle (as oppose to rural) to make the city livable.
• Smaller cities are facing the same challenges.
• The future of cities in Indonesia will face a greater challenge: the need to accelerate infrastructure development and the maturing of democracy in the local setting.

​

SNAPSHOT IS GOOD (Cont’d)

“Only 54.17% of the population in Indonesian cities surveyed feel comfortable living in their city. This shows that those cities are still not ideal” – IAP –

MOST LIVABLE CITY INDEX 2009 & 2011

Key Findings: Cities Are Struggling

Livability index of Indonesian cities (mean) is at 54.26, a relatively no change compared to the 2009 survey (54.17).

​

But there are 6 cities that are perceived as less livable compared to 2009, namely Manado (1 million), Jayapura (300,000), Bandung (2.5 million), Palangkaraya(400,000), Jakarta (15 million), and Medan (2.1 million)

​

The following are key areas that the public perceived as most important aspects in determining livability of their city, namely :

​

• economic(27 ,97 %)
• spatial plan/urban design (19,66 %),
• availability of education facility (13,29%),
• safety and security (11,08%)
• 2aste management (10,80%)

​

Key Findings: Physical State Of Indonesian Cities A Concern

A total of 45% percent of respondents living in Indonesian cities today perceived their cities as less livable. Key areas that has the lowest score include: physical aspect, environmental aspect and security & safety.

Key Findings: Some Cities Is Just Gets Better

Cities Index Above Average :

Yogyakarta (65.34), Manado (59.9), Makassar (56.52), Bandung (56.37) is perceived as most livable cities, more than the average Indonesian cities.

​

These cities are mostly old and traditionally-well-preserved cities, strong indigenous ethnic communities, and mostly are known as education/university cities rather than industrialized/commercial centers, are more livable than the average Indonesian cities.

And Some Others Keep Struggling

Pontianak (43,65) and Medan (46,67) is perceived as most less livable.

• Pontianak consistenly low in the index (also lowest in 2009 survey), mainly are driven by its natural setting as a peaty soil (gambut) area, that limits the city planning and infrastructure development.
• On the other hand, metropolizing Medan, the 4^th largest city in Indonesia with 2.1 miliion population, is struggling from the rapid growth, urbanizations, and limited infrastructure. The security/safety factors is the lowest among all cities, which means public’s perception on security in Medan is very poor.

To further enhanced the impact of this Index, IAP is putting forward a proposal for partnership in the 2013 survey and beyond.

​

Improvement to the Index includes application of more comprehensive survey methodology in more cities.

​

The 2013 research will see an increase of sample in each cities, and add the number of cities to 24.

​

The analysis will include ordinal utility of main aspects of the survey. Further analysis will also connects the priority of each aspect with attribute of respondents, ie. Younger/older age group, gender, income group, etc.
