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

Digitalization has proven to be important in shaping cities towards more effective and efficient in terms of planning, management, and development. Digitalization that is taking place extensively right now has revolutionized the business ecosystem and changed the value chain process in many industries. It offers various enthralling opportunities yielded by the applications of technologies and intelligent systems to provide smart solutions to urban challenges. The effect of digitalization encouraged innovation by taking into account a physical-digital collaboration among related parties within the urban context and beyond.    In a broader context, digital technologies have also played a significant role in accelerating access to more data and knowledge. It further fosters the accountability of institutions, stimulates the efficiency of science, and promotes more innovation opportunities in many sectors. Digital technologies supported by data are used in the development of smart cities to solve problems and make better decisions to achieve a higher urban quality of life. A smart city is an integrated system of six components, which consist of smart people, smart living, smart mobility, smart environment, smart economy, and smart governance; the smartness of which can be enhanced by the utilization of several crucial technologies including information and communication technology (ICT), Internet of Things (IoT), sensor technology, geospatial technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Blockchain.

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

Green Building (GB) is a design concept that implements sustainable processes and green technologies in the building’s life cycle. However, the design process of GB tends to take longer than conventional buildings due to the integration of various green requirements and performances into the building design. Technological advances are continually improving the quality of human life by providing solutions to problems they encounter, such as the machine learning (ML) technique utilized to develop predictive and classification models. This study aims to develop a GB design prediction by employing an ML approach by considering four GB design criteria: energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, water efficiency, and site planning. A dataset of GB projects collected from a private construction company based in Jakarta was used to train and test the ML model. Mean Square Error (MSE) was used to evaluate the model accuracy. The comparison of MSE results of the conducted experiments showed that the combination of the ANN method with the IF-ELSE algorithm resulted in the most accurate ML model for GB design prediction with an MSE of 1.3, creating a predictive model that improves the time efficiency of GB design process.

Abstract

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) projects are increasingly recognized as vital components of sustainable urban planning, aiming to create compact, walkable, and mixed-use communities centered around high-quality public transportation systems. However, implementing TOD projects poses significant challenges, especially in land acquisition and redistribution. This research addresses these issues in the context of the MRT Jakarta project and proposes a land readjustment approach as a potential solution. The study combined qualitative and quantitative methods to compare existing and ideal land use in the TOD area and benchmark successful TOD models from different countries. A comprehensive financial analysis was performed to assess the potential financial impacts of the proposed model. The analysis reveals differences between the existing land use in the Fatmawati TOD area and the ideal TOD model, suggesting the need for adjustments to achieve better land use diversity and economic vibrancy. The financial analysis demonstrates positive feasibility for the TOD project, surpassing the minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) threshold. However, the potential value of the reserved area covers only 16% of the total land readjustment (LR) costs, indicating the necessity for further measures to enhance financial feasibility. The study proposes leveraging existing apartment buildings as temporary relocation sites, optimizing resources, and increasing overall financial viability to address substantial relocation costs. Exploring different property redistribution scenarios reveals the importance of balancing landowners' benefits with the developer's financial feasibility for a successful TOD project. Overall, this research provides valuable insights and a comprehensive framework for implementing thriving and sustainable transit-oriented communities in Jakarta. Further research and collaboration among stakeholders are essential to refine the proposed model and ensure successful TOD project implementation in the future. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-10-012 Full Text: PDF
