Abstract

The Soekarno-Hatta International Airport Rail Link (SHIARL) project is arguably one of the best solutions to reduce uncertainty in travel time and to improve accessibility to and from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Due to low feasibility assessments, the private sector is holding back on their investment for this mega project infrastructure; therefore, a comprehensive study is required to improve project return on investment attractiveness. This study mainly identifies major risks and mitigation strategies by combining Value Engineering (VE) and Risk Management (RM). Questionnaire surveys and risk analysis will be used to respond to the research objectives and the analysis will be presented in the methodology section. The VE process produces additional functions as the integration of the MRT line, the Flood Control Tunnel (PRASTI), the Rail Link and infrastructure utilities which are expected not only to solve transportation problems, but also flood control problems in Jakarta. On the other hand, the RM process points out route selection error as a major risk that has to be mitigated for a successful project.

Abstract

Major cities worldwide are now experiencing immense growth caused by rapid urbanization and industrialization over the past decades. Currently, more than half of the world’s population lives in the urban area and this number is projected to increase most likely to more than 65% by 2050. Nowadays, Asia has the highest number of urban dwellers, which subsequently followed by Europe and Africa. Back in 2000, Tokyo was the largest metropolitan area occupied by 37 million citizens, followed by New Delhi, Shanghai, Mexico City, and Sao Paulo. Other cities such as Cairo, Mumbai, Beijing, and Dhaka caught up with average inhabitants of around 20 million people. Urbanization has been recognized as the driver that has given a huge contribution that helps increase the economic development in urban cities on a global scale. Despite its positive influences for economic growth, urbanization has led to various urban challenges including but not limited to congestion, urban sprawl, environmental degradation, limited job opportunities, housing, and public safety. Along with the rise of information and communication technology (ICT) that is developing rapidly and disruptively in the past few years, traditional cities are changing by adopting the smart city concept aiming to address both its existing problems and future challenges. Even though there is no consensus yet among academics and policymakers about the definition of smart city concept, most of them agreed that smart city is a city development and management by considering the adoption of ICT in order to connect, monitor, and control various resources inside the city in an efficient and effective manner to optimize services for the people in performing their daily activities and to address the urban challenge. In general, a smart city should be seen more as an integrated system of sensors and processors integrated within the city’s infrastructure network rather than the employment of ICT specifically in a particular city domain. The concept of a smart city is currently presented as the solution to urban challenges by coming up with new innovations to solve the mounting problems faced by urban cities to make cities better connected and more efficient in terms of connection, coordination, usage of resources, resiliency and sustainability.

Abstract

Value engineering (VE) plays a significant role in improving project competitiveness and propose an alternative solution to create added value for a project. Despite well-adopted in various countries worldwide, VE development shows stagnant progress in Indonesia. This can be seen by number of project and publications involving VE in Indonesia. In fact, academics and researchers argued the concept will highly contribute to advocate the benefits of VE into the public and private project practice. The research aims to investigate publications affiliated with Indonesian institutions and recommend strategies for VE implementation in the country. This paper uses a systematic review by taking into account the database library for extraction. The result shows that academics and researcher from Indonesian institutions regularly publish their work in VE study. However, the number of publication in refereed journals is much less compared papers in proceedings. The findings suggest some strategies to increase the publication and how to be involved in project development in Indonesia.

Abstract

COVID-19 outbreak has contributed a negative effect on the infrastructure sector worldwide. Infrastructure projects need to shut down and put on hold for an unspecified time, as this sector required a high number of workers prone to the virus transmissions. However, the degree of slowdown between countries varies and depends on the severity of pandemic and lockdown conditions. Many countries are having a slowdown in economic growth. This condition has greatly affected the supply and demand sides, making it difficult to predict recovery timelines of on-going and future project development. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments worldwide launched stimulus plans to recover their economies. The severe impacts of the outbreak need to be addressed through international cooperation. During the pandemic and recession, government expenditure is crucial to driving the economy. Infrastructure projects have been argued as a way to accelerate economic recovery, considering the infrastructure industry is absorbing many workers and driving other supply chain industrial sectors. Therefore, green investment in renewable energy, clean transportation, advanced technologies, and other low-carbon infrastructure projects can stimulate the economy during pandemics and recession. Despite playing a pivotal role in coping with current challenges, not all countries have financial freedom and supporting policies enabling them to invest in infrastructure heavily. Therefore, these countries must prioritize projects that significantly boost income per capita, livelihood improvement, and employment opportunities, particularly for mid to lower-income households. The government is encouraged to pursue the construction of social infrastructures such as healthcare, education, public facilities, and transportation. This attempt is expected to facilitate quick recovery from the pandemic and maintain public services. Most stakeholders associated with the infrastructure sector that suffered from the crisis attempted to create a roadmap, quick wins, and strategic actions to prepare challenges they might face for the next normal. Related stakeholders are highly encouraged to consider digital technology adoption, supply chain redistribution of products and materials, resource allocation of company assets and portfolio, organization restructuring, identification of alternative market opportunities, and collaboration with other parties, including the government, to rebuild the industry. These actions aim to maintain businesses from a growing debt and high-cost recovery during the pandemic. Remote working has catapulted the need to utilize technology further to accelerate infrastructure development and gain maximum benefits for participated stakeholders. The fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) enables automation and data exchange within a cyber-system. Digital transformation through big data, machine learning, cloud computing, and other artificial intelligence domain has facilitated real-time working condition between office and site. Advanced technologies also offer a vast potential to improve project performance and increase construction workers' productivity compared to the business as usual approach. We believe that the pandemic urged the utilization of a robust technological innovation in developing infrastructure projects in the post-pandemic era.

Abstract

Infrastructure development plays a crucial role in accelerating the sustainable economic growth and development of a country. The increased provision of public infrastructure can help raise the GDP growth level by lowering production costs, enlarging markets, raising total factor productivity,and facilitating economic activities. Furthermore, infrastructure helps improve the living standards of the people by providing jobs and building the local suppliers' and developers’ capabilities, which contribute to reducing poverty and improving development outcomes. On the other hand, infrastructure is also crucial and lies at the core of efforts to achieve sustainable development. It encompasses many aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as health, education, access to energy, as well as clean water and sanitation. The infrastructure improvement is implied in most of the targets of SDGs. The importance of infrastructure must take the sustainable development dimension into account; hence greater efficiencies can be obtained to achieve SDGs successfully. Despite its potential benefits, infrastructure development that is poorly planned, implemented, or operated brings negative consequences for the society, which is escalated by an overrun budget and ineffective usage. Therefore, an infrastructure system must be developed to meet sustainability needs. Sustainability in infrastructure can be comprehended as how the attributes of the practices, products, services, and resources used in the infrastructure development can contribute to the continuation of ecosystem components and functions for generations in the future. Infrastructure projects must deliver better value by going hand-in-hand with sustainability, projecting its benefits and costs towards both the short-term goals and long-term implications. In order to be aligned with the dimension of sustainability, infrastructure needs to consider the economic, social, and environmental aspects. In terms of the economic aspect, infrastructure development should contribute to overall growth by supporting inclusivity, boosting productivity, and delivering accessible and affordable services. In terms of the social aspect, infrastructure is supposed to improve livelihoods, enhance human well-being, and remove poverty in all forms. Lastly, in terms of environmental aspects, the development of infrastructure should preserve the natural environment, ecosystems, and the biodiversity within by supporting the use of high-energy efficiency standards and promoting the resource-efficient approach contributing to reducing overall carbon emissions during its lifecycle. As sustainable infrastructure becomes a cornerstone to achieving the SDGs; therefore, the long-term vision for developing a national infrastructure system informed by SDGs should be ensured. We argue that these visions can be delivered by establishing adaptable plans that include implementing low-carbon solutions and resource-efficient, ecologically based, and energy-efficient technologies.

Abstract

Technology has long been regarded to be one of the key drivers of economic growth and a major contributor to a nation's competitiveness. Technology is seen as a significant instrument for increasing the value of a product, project, or service while using the same amount of available resources or capital. Rapid technological improvement and invention have contributed to more efficient and innovative output in a variety of areas, including but not limited to construction, healthcare, energy, tourism, and manufacturing. However, many industries are currently under intense pressure to reduce their use of energy, material, and other non-renewable energy resources. The public and society are also demanding practical solutions for addressing sustainability and climate change issues while also improving people's quality of life. Combining technologies and the circular economy concept within the project life cycle is one approach to these issues. The circular economy concept is based on using as few resources as possible and ensuring that materials used during, for example, the manufacturing process are reused, recycled, or repurposed before becoming product waste. The concept transforms traditional linear economy, also known as open loop systems, in which materials and available resources are reused rather than disposed away, resulting in a closed loop system that allows waste prevention and pollutant emission reduction. Multiple resources, such as plastic, chemicals, metals, and other substances, are frequently used only once before becoming waste. Through various approaches of design development, manufacturing process, technological adoption, and system modification throughout the product life cycle, the circular economy ensures that these materials are preserved in their optimum value for as long as possible. Numerous technologies can be employed, combined, and deployed to assist the circular economy throughout the project life cycle. For example, the internet of things (IoT) provided automated big data collection through various sensors, which can be utilized to study people's behavior. In the circular economy phase, artificial intelligence ability to perform many functions while processing unstructured data for further analysis is frequently combined with IoT in facilitating the product movement from consumers back to manufacturers. The technologies enable decision makers to identify methods to tackle complicated problems by using specified criteria, rules, and massive amounts of data. Blockchain, a distributed ledger technology, is currently being incorporated from the design and planning stages to better comprehend asset monitoring and management. It provided major benefits to stakeholders by increasing transparency, improving security, improving traceability, increasing efficiency and speed, and lowering costs. The usage of virtual reality is now also being researched to understand how technology may help to raise public awareness of the circular economy and engage individuals in adopting the principles. Furthermore, to aid in the development of these ecosystems, supportive policy design, appropriate financing, and program implementation should be provided. The government public policy should adhere to the principles of circularity. It should be designed to assist and encourage entrepreneurs, organizations, scholars, researchers, government agencies, and other stakeholders to embrace circularity as a new norm for innovating production and consumption systems through technology adoption and new business models. The industrial technology revolution has clearly improved the effectiveness and efficiency of production, management, and governance systems. We believe that research conducted to develop innovative approaches by utilizing emerging technology can promote the advancement of a circular economy while also contributing to tackle sustainability and environmental challenges.

Abstract

There is a funding deficit that cannot be covered by relying solely on government money to build Indonesia’s Infrastructure; consequently, additional sources of financing are engaging the private sector to fill the gap. Insurance funds are an alternative funding source in many countries, although their application is still at an early stage. By assessing the risks faced by insurance companies involved in infrastructure investment, this paper attempts to evaluate the use of insurance money as an alternative funding source for infrastructure investment in Indonesia. The analytical hierarchical process (AHP) technique was used in the quantitative methodology of this study to evaluate the risks faced by insurance companies when investing in infrastructure and to identify strengths and limitations. The results show that insurance funds are a possible alternative funding source for infrastructure projects in Indonesia; as a result, the government provides the necessary instruments, such as important policies and attractive partnership structures and models.

Abstract

In the wake of urbanization and environmental challenges, cities nowadays face multiple issues related to uncontrolled urban growth, insufficient public infrastructure, and inadequate citizen participation in the management of public affairs. Sustainable urban development cannot be achieved without addressing these challenges, necessitating a paradigm shift in urban space management. Therefore, urban development needs to shift traditional concepts and focus on incorporating smart and environmentally friendly practices that allow cities to adapt and implement intelligent solutions to meet the needs of their citizens while continuing to protect the environment. To achieve sustainability, cities should prioritize a balance between economic activity, population growth, urban infrastructure development, and urbanization. Promoting sustainability in urban social, economic, and ecological domains requires the inclusion of technology advancement, supported by people's participation, into urban planning policies and practices through smart city development. Smart cities are gaining recognition as transformative urban environments that leverage technology and data to enhance the quality of life for citizens. While the concept primarily focuses on efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity, the profound impact on citizens' happiness and overall well-being cannot be understated. The concept of a smart city should be a citizen-centric approach that places the well-being and happiness of citizens at its core. Innovative technologies and data-driven solutions can allow cities to meet the specific needs of their inhabitants. From efficient transportation systems and accessible healthcare to smart governance and inclusive public spaces, citizen-centric smart cities foster a sense of belonging and empowerment. Smart cities hold immense potential to improve the citizens' quality of life. The seamless integration of advanced technology into urban infrastructures allows decision-making to optimize resource allocation, provide public safety, and offer convenient services for the people. For example, smart utilities such as efficient energy management and automated waste disposal can contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment, positively impacting physical and mental well-being. Moreover, smart healthcare systems can offer personalized and timely medical services, ensuring better health outcomes for citizens. In addition, smart cities can improve citizens' access to real-time information, collaboration platforms, and engagement with fellow community members. Digital platforms and smart urban design can further boost citizens' engagement in decision-making processes, fostering a sense of community and public participation. Subsequently, smart cities inherently promote sustainability by optimizing resource management, reducing energy consumption, and endorsing eco-friendly practices. Cities like Singapore and Amsterdam have implemented smart infrastructure and utilize renewable energy, such as water-based and wind-based technologies, to minimize their environmental footprint while ensuring a resilient future by implementing smart infrastructure and renewable energy sources. The inclusion of green spaces, pedestrian-friendly zones, and efficient public transportation systems may contribute to citizens' physical and mental well-being, fostering vibrant and sustainable communities. Despite the importance of focusing on the positive aspects of smart cities, it is also essential to be aware of any potential issues. Concerns regarding data privacy, the technological gap, and the prospect that technology will exacerbate social differences must be addressed in advance to ensure the sustainability of smart city development.
