Abstract

There have been some misfits between the practice of urban planning at a macro scale and the needs of the society at a micro scale. This paper intends to discuss this issue by illustrating a case of high density urban housing as a supporting system for the activities in a traditional market as urban public facilities. The case suggests a dialog between the physical space determined by macro-scale planning and the everyday social life of the community living in the housing surrounding the market. The housing plays an important role as a living space for the market workers and as a setting for various activities that support the trading activities in the market. Unfortunately, there is a tendency that despite its importance, the quality of the housing is still far from sufficient as a space for living. The findings in this study suggest that the practice of urban design, especially in the provision of public facilities, needs to integrate macro urban scale with more micro everyday life of the communities. The practice of urban design needs to be sensitive to the diversity in urban environment and the interrelationships between urban elements. In this way, it would be possible to create urban environment that caters for the needs of its inhabitants in a sustainable way, both at macro scale and micro scale.

Abstract

River by nature is a unity, but there is a tendency to separate river management based on administrative areas. River is also related to the community living in its surrounding area. This paper discusses watershed issues related to the management and community condition, especially within the framework of interrelationship between upstream and downstream areas. Department of Public Works as the institution was responsible for the national water resource management has proposed the idea of "one river one plan one management." However, in reality this idea is not consistent with the regulations issued by the government, especially in the context of regional autonomy. This paper also attempts to illustrate the condition of settlement and community condition in Bale Kambang and Kampung Pulo as downstream areas. The findings of this study suggest the needs for an integrated management for various watershed areas, with the understanding of community condition in those areas. The findings provide inputs for planning and managing of urban areas by putting an emphasis on the interrelationship between various areas of wathershed, as well as the physical environment of watershed and the community condition of the surrounding communities.

Abstract

The quality of housing constitutes the physical condition of housing as well as the perception and actions of the occupants. Assessment of housing quality tends to be based on the physical indicators of the housing environment with less attention to the occupants’ understanding of housing quality. This study explores the housing quality from the point of view of the occupants especially in relation to the concept of ‘healthy housing’. A structured interview was conducted with a number of occupants living in high-density urban housing in order to reveal their understanding of the ‘healthy housing’ concept. The study found the existence of a gap between the occupant’s perception of the healthy housing quality and the factual physical condition of their housing. The occupants tend to evaluate their housing as having good quality, despite the facts found from the observation that some physical requirements of ‘healthy housing’ have not been satisfied yet in most houses. This understanding of ‘healthy housing’ is primarily related to the aspect of cleanliness, while other aspects of healthiness do not seem to get enough attention. These findings become the basis of the discussion on the extent to which the perspective of the occupants should be incorporated in developing programmes for urban housing quality improvement.
