Abstract

The lack of access to safe drinking water and the insufficient provision of individual drinking water needs are among the defining characteristics of slum areas. This study investigates the extent of this problem in Gresik Regency, East Java, Indonesia, a region characterized by the ubiquity of slum settlements across all sub-districts. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of clean water access, water quality, and community capacity in managing water resources with implications for achieving sustainable housing. This study assesses water poverty levels using the Water Poverty Index (WPI), which considers five dimensions: resource availability, accessibility, capacity, usage efficiency, and environmental sustainability. The result shows the WPI of Gresik Regency revealed a score of 73.95, indicating a low level of water poverty, suggesting that the region's water security is in a good condition. Among the five dimensions constituting the WPI, the environmental dimension falls into the category of relatively high WPI or environmental poverty, with a score of under 50. This indicates that while access to water is available and affordable, issues related to waste management and future water resilience remain low. Water scarcity in the Gresik District is an illustration of global challenges related to water poverty, such as in Myanmar, India and South Africa, which have WPI values below 55. This research emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach in managing water resources by prioritizing environmental quality as the main priority

Abstract

Lowokwaru District is a district that has a relatively high number of COVID-19 cases in Malang City. According to data from May 29, 2022, Malang City had 28,793 positive cases of COVID-19, while in Lowokwaru District, there were 6,583 positive cases or 23% of positive COVID-19 cases in Malang City. Merjosari Flower Park, as an active garden, can be an alternative to help speed up the healing process. However, several problems were found that could cause discomfort for visitors visiting the park, including minimal shade, noise coming from high vehicle volumes, and unpleasant odors coming from the Dinoyo Waste Disposal Site. This research aims to develop a garden based on the healing garden concept at Taman Bunga Merjosari. The development concept was generated through Kano analysis. Kano analysis is used to categorize and determine priority attributes determined by visitors. The results of this research are in the form of development concepts for each priority attribute. The development concept takes the form of providing five attributes, providing various functions for three attributes, and improving the quality of three attributes in accordance with the healing garden concept.
