t has become a routine since 1986 that every first Sunday of October is commemorated all around the world as Habitat Day. This year, Habitat Day has fallen on 4 October 2010 with theme of toward better city and better life. Habitat Day is often commemorated in Indonesia, however misguided still occurs where habitat day commemoration is considered to be only for the settlement development stakeholders. This is actually inappropriate considering close relation between housing and settlement (water supply and environmental sanitation). It has been proven for example, from the theme of 2003 Habitat Day which was Water and Sanitation for Cities. Integration between WSES development and settlement is a necessity, especially with regard to city development. As we all know, slump areas have become the trade mark of almost every city, thus the management has become common agenda of all cities. Slump areas problems are mainly adjacent to house and environment quality along with
infrastructures, facilities and utility (PSU). Partial handling will not result in maximum result. This is the message to be conveyed through Habitat Day commemoration for the past 10 years. In the spirit of integration, this edition of Percik has raised the theme of Habitat Day in the hope that future housing and settlement developments can be more integrated; not only in concept, but also in the implementation on the field. Hopefully. The year 2010 will soon be behind us, we certainly welcome year 2011 with new ideas, targets, and hopes. The same goes for us in Percik editorial staff and supporter. Hopefully Percik will continue to be published with brilliant theme and able to satisfy readers expectation. Therefore, we are still opening our door for theme proposal to be included in the year 2011. With that reason, relation between us is more than just reader and editor, but more than that. We have always tried to make Percik to be an interactive communication media among stakeholders. Lets realize this hope together. (OM)

Your Voice
Percik Appearance continues to be better
My name is Wardi, water supply and environmental sanitation observer. I live at Pasar Minggu, Jakarta Selatan. Im a loyal reader of Percik Magazine since I first got the magazine back when I was still working at Regional Development Management Directorate General of the Domestic Affair Department in 2004. I would like to thank managers of Percik Magazine for the information and valuable lessons that I have got with regard to Water Supply and Environmental Sanitation. I am impressed with the new appearance of Percik Magazine with better design. The content of this magazine can be compared to commercial magazine in the level of Tempo Magazine. I hope, Percik Magazine may continue to exist in providing numbers of information and lesson as well as community empowerment in WSES sector. Bravo Percik Magazine.

Water is a Gift
It has been almost one year since my friends and I, Environment and Community Empowerment activists of Pelangi Dunia at Sungai Ciujung, Banten acquired Yunior Percik and Percik magazine from our friends from Banten Province Water Supply and Envi-
We have started to find difficulty in acquiring water supply, especially during the drought season. Without us knowing, water is turning into luxury good, whereas we will have difficulties in acquiring them because it is getting scarce or expensive. We can already see the symptoms of water as luxury good. One is the loss of ground water recharge due to deforestation, worsened by narrowing river area as water reserve due to change of use into settlement. Two, water contamination that was not seriously handled. The contaminants are certainly the main cause of inconsumable water. Three, water privatization. Water that govern the lives of many is owned only by certain groups that can manipulate water management. Everyone have right to water. By privatization, not everyones right to water is recognized. Therefore, from now on, water management must be fixed. Dont let it become disaster, but a gift. Thomas Sutasman Cilacap, Jawa Tengah
I am concern about the vanishing forests in this country due to illegal logging. Natural disaster will occur during the rainy season, and drought will occur during the dry season. This may actually prevented if we care for the forest and ennoble water. Natural disaster in this country should be a warning for us to care and pay more attention to nature. Growing number of illegal logging have caused landslides because the rain water cannot be adsorbed by the forest, Without water we will not survive, thus, lets ennoble water such as we ennoble ourselves. Rain water should acquire its rightful place. Lets plant trees that can adsorb water, so we are not lacking of water. If the rain water is being adsorbed, our homes will be save from flood and other natural disaster. Ahmad Riyadi Umar Bojonegoro, Jawa Timur
The benefit of water as life support must be well managed in the use. Its existence as Gods gift must be recognize and utilized maximally. The gratefulness should not only come out of our mouth, but should also come out through series of actions or wise and just attitude toward water utilization, in accordance with the requirement standard. As we know, water is un-renewable natural resources. Effective and efficient use is greatly important in anticipating excessive water use. The excessive attitude is also forbid by religion because it is belong in the category of isyraf. Especially because water is certainly includes the lives of many, and environment in general. Thus, management tool for the people in proper use of water is required. Muhammad Erfan Ciputat, Tangerang

abitat is a crucial issue to be regarded by many parties due to its relation with the fulfillment efforts of peoples prosperity. In dealing with habitat-related issues, countries in the world have showed their concern commitment through several agreements namely 1976 Vancouver Declaration and Habitat Agenda that was established in Istanbul, Turk in 1996. The Habitat Agenda that was signed by 171 countries (including Indonesia) contains more than 100 commitments and 600 recommendations. Every country that has signed the Habitat Agenda has com-
mitment to implement the agreed Global Act Plan. Several activities in relation to the Habitat Agenda have been actively followed by the government, such as Habitat5+ in New York on 2001 and biannual meeting of Governing Council of UN Habitat in Nairobi. Prof. Johan Silas as KIP (Kampong Improvement Program) initiator has received Habitat Scroll of Honours for his commitment and dedication for settlement development, especially for poor people. The content of Vancouver Declaration and Habitat Agenda is the message to be conveyed to people through annual commemoration of World Habitat Day. World Habitat
Day is also one of the methods to remind world population about the phenomena and challenges of the urban people. One of the world challenges today is rapid growing of urban areas (cities). If before, vast majority of the world population are living in the rural areas, today, over half of world population are living in the urban areas and this number is estimated to increase into two-third by 2030. With the limited resources management capacity in the city, many negative impacts will arise, from growing problem of the lack of proper settlement, growing slump areas, pollution, traffic jams, social gaps, etc.
Main Report
Data and Facts of Urban Areas:
Fifty percent of world population is currently living in the city n Three billion of world population is living in the city. 1 billion of which is living in slump areas. In SubSahara Africa area, 70% of the city population is living in slump areas. n In 2005, there is 1,4 billion more people in the cities compare to year 1980. n Urbanization is found more in developing countries. In contrary, Europe countries are experiencing decline due to the advance transportation and communication that has reduced population concentration in one place.

Toward Better City and Better Life This year, in relation to World Habitat Day Commemoration, Indonesia has resume participation such as prior years. In 2008, World Habitat Day commemoration was held at Bali and in 2009 at Palembang City. For global commemoration, Indonesia has hosted a 2005 World Habitat Day with The Millennium Goals and the City as theme. That year, World Habitat Day commemoration was central-
ized at Cengkareng flats, Jakarta and the theme was selected to remain people about Millennium Development Goals that were launched five years before. By rising the theme of Better City, Better Life for 2010, this years commemoration tries to emphasize on the importance of city quality in supporting better life, that will encourage opportunities and potencies, reducing gap, and providing proper settlement for all layers of community. In the global message of UN Habitat presented by Inga BjrkKlevby (Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations and Deputy Executive Director, UN-HABITAT), it was said that for better living, smarter city is required. Inga said, only smart cities can provide their citizens with better life. In order to accomplish smarter city for better life, there are five strategic steps that were encouraged by UN Habitat namely: (1) Improving life quality, (2) Investing in human capital, (3) Encouraging sustainable public economy growth, (4) Improving politic participation, and
(5) Improving cultural involvement. The above steps are expected to act as important catalyst in realizing better life for all. World Habitat Day commemoration this year, such as the years before, was held jointly by Public Housing Ministry and Public Work Ministry. In the press conference of 2010 World Habitat Day that fell on Monday, 4 October 2010, Public Housing Minister, Suharso Monoarfa has stated that livable house is an issue of Human Right that requires special attention from the government and better settlement is collective responsibility for the future. This statement is in line with the mission of Habitat Agenda, which is proper settlement for all and sustainable urbanization. 2010 World Habitat Day Activities in Indonesia In Indonesia, 2010 World Habitat Day was commemorated for the purpose to increase concern of all parties, namely central and local governments, private sector, universities, and community. Another purpose is to encourage new thinking on current condition of settlement. Furthermore, 2010 World Habitat Day was commemorated to provide understanding to the people on housing and settlement issues as well as encouraging participation of housing and settlement stakeholders in activities to improve comprehension of World Habitat Day and implementation of Habitat Agenda, especially among the youth because future responsibility of earth sustainability is on their hands.

very year, the world always commemorates World Habitat Day on the first Monday of October. World Habitat Day is one of international days that was established by the UN and commemorated as realization of our concern to fulfillment of proper housing and settlement for all. Other purpose of World Habitat Day is to remind people on the need of collective responsibility for the future of human habitat. The origin of World Habitat Day cannot be apart from Habitat I conference or Habitat: United Nation Conference on Human Settlement in Vancouver, Canada, back in 1976. In the conference that was held 34 years ago, the world has started to realize the growing phenomena of urbanization along with its impacts, especially in developing countries. Before, the problem of urbanization and its impacts have almost never been UN priority. Habitat I Conference has become the first UN conference in the sector of settlement and resulted in Vancouver Declaration on Human Settlements that
Main Report
was held at Istanbul, Turk which resulted in the Habitat Agenda. Habitat Agenda is commitment of 176 head of countries including Indonesia to support better future of human habitat. Habitat II conference has become some sort of turning point on the focus of settlement issue. Themes of World Habitat Day commemoration in the prior years have emphasized more on shelter. Since 1996, World Habitat Day theme has shifted to city (see box). This tendency may arise due to the thinking that settlement problems are problems of city and urban. Habitat Agenda as the output of Habitat II has reflected manifestation of this tendency. Through Habitat Agenda, countries in the world are trying to accomplish Adequate Shelter for All and Sustainable Urbanization. The theme of World Habitat Day commemoration is always different from year to year, however the theme selected is always in line with two main messages of Habitat Agenda, which are Adequate Shelter for All and Sustainable Urbanization. World Habitat Day commemoration has become momentum to promote main messages of Habitat Agenda. Habitat Day commemoration from one year to the next has become more important. Thirty-four years ago, during Habitat I era, two-third of world population are still living in rural areas. Today, the proportion has been reversed, more than half world population are living in urban areas and in 2030 it was estimated that two third of world population will live in the city. This will certainly have bigger consequence. For 2010, World Habitat Day fell on Monday, 4 October 2010 with the theme of Better City, Better Life. This theme emphasized on the importance of city quality in supporting better life, which will encourage potency and opportunity, reducing gap and providing proper settlement for all.

very year, UN Habitat has become UN committee to organize World Habitat Day commemoration. UN Habitat is performing its mandate based on Vancouver Declaration on Human Settlements document, along with other documents such as the Habitat Agenda and the Millennium Declaration. These documents emphasized on proper settlement for all. Proper settlement and its services are human right where the government is obligated to assist low income people in acquiring settlements. Proper settlements for all cannot be apart from provision and condition of water and sanitation. It was stated in the Habitat Agenda to specifically promote access to safe water supply, sanitation and other basic

In the world where half of the population lives in the cities, there are at least 1 billion people in danger in relation to the lack of adequate water supply and sanitation. In Asian cities, there are 700 million people are lacking water and 800 million are without proper sanitation. Moreover, in many regions, poor people tend to pay more for water compare to richer people. With regard to 2003

World Habitat Day, at the moment, global commemoration with the theme of Water and Sanitation for Cities was held at Rio De Janeiro city of Brazil. Participants from all over the world visited Caj area, a slump area resided with approximately 800 families. This area represents typical slump areas in other part of the city where almost 20 percent population of Rio de Janeiro lives. Interestingly, in Caj, people have very good access to water and sanitation, electricity, transportation, and social services. Located on the riverside, Caj is a positive result of citys initiative example of
Slum to Neighborhood which was initiated in the year 1993. Urban Minister of Brazil at the time has said that better access to water and sanitation has become Brazil priority in fulfilling basic needs of urban poor community. This commitment has shown seriousness of Brazilian government in providing right equality on city to urban poor community. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, 2003 World Habitat Day commemoration was held at Denpasar, Bali. The President of Indonesia Republic at the time, Megawati Soekarnoputri, had the opportunity to proclaim Development of 1.000.000 units of
Rudimentary Housing, and Acceleration of Water Supply and Sanitation Provision for Low Income People in 1.500 Kampong/Kelurahan Every Year. Today, in the year 2010, water and sanitation issues have remain to be crucial issues, especially when only 5 years left to the year 2015 where targets of MDGs must be achieved. From water provision point of view, there are more people who have access to proper water supply and even more people have access to sanitation facilities. However, in order to achieve MDGs targets, the effort must be doubled.

he issue of settlement and urban are complex and multi-disciplines issues. Capacity building of Government and other stakeholders to better plan and manage the city is necessary. For that reason, knowledge improvement of housing and urban development sectors is required, as well as a strong network for information exchange and cooperation.

Agenda 21
Humanity stands at a defining moment in history. We are confronted with a perpetuation of disparities between and within nations, a worsening of poverty, hunger, ill health and illiteracy, and the continuing deterioration of the ecosystems on which we depend for our well-being. However, integration of environment and development concerns and greater attention to them will lead to the fulfillment of basic needs, improved living standards for all, better protected and managed ecosystems and a safer, more prosperous future. No nation can achieve this on its own; but together we can - in a global partnership for sustainable development. Agenda 21 tries to ensure sustainable future which requires bigger awareness from all of us to find solutions to the problems. With its substance, Agenda 21 has become some sort of blue print for global partnership to realize high quality environments and healthy economic for everyone on this planet. Agenda 21 discusses critical issues that we are facing as global community such as ecosystem degradation, increasing poverty, hunger and poor health, growing world population and illiteracy. Agenda 21 consists of 40 chapters that identified every challenge and provides realistic and simple solution to sustainable development in fulfilling todays requirements without reducing the future generations Agenda 21, paragraf 1.1 ability to fulfill their own needs. Agenda 21 consists of 5 parts with the total of 40 chapters. Preliminary part is Preamble (chapter 1.11.6). The next part is Part 1 (chapter 2.1-8.54) that genda 21 is a comprehensive action plan to contains relation between social and economic aspects. be applied locally, nationally, or globally by This part emphasizes the importance of international organizations in the systems of UN, cooperation to implement and accelerate efforts government and related groups on every toward sustainable development. aspect with impact on environment.

statement that sustainable development is the main responsibility of every government, but commitment and involvement of every social group is important to realize effective implementation of every governments policy that relates with Agenda 21. The last part of Agenda 21 is Part 4 containing more specific matters of implementation actions and how to initiate the action plans (chapter 33.1-40.30). Several underlined matters in this chapter among other is the use of technology, improving public awareness through education, data and information sharing to support decision making. this demand through integral approach can also be the capital to improve life quality, productivity, health quality, and reducing investment cost in term of curative medication and assisting the effort of poverty eradication. The target in Agenda 21 in relation to this issue is fulfillment of infrastructure properly by the year 2025. Therefore, it is important for every developing country to integrate capacity development in term of human resources, funding or technical into each national strategy. In achieving the target, implementation is required in term of: (1) financing and expenditure based evaluation, (2) utilization of science and technology through research acceleration in integral policies, environmental impact analysis, and effective demand measurement method, as well as (3) human resources capacity building through improvement of awareness, skill training, institutional strengthening, and adoption of proper regulatory instrument. Follow Up of Agenda 21 All over the world, government, business community, non-government organization POKJA and other elements have placed Agenda 21 ideas into each plan or policy. This includes Indonesia which in 1997 has formulated Indonesias Agenda 21: national strategy for sustainable development that was published by Environmental Ministry. Today, almost 20 years later, Agenda 21 is still very crucial and implementation requires multi-fold efforts with growing challenges. For that reason, cross-elemental involvement in implementing Agenda 21 is very important. This task requires not only leadership and funding from government and business communities, but also vision and cooperation of every citizen. Sustainable development will never be achieved without cooperation of all sectors of community.
Water, Sanitation, Drainage, and Waste Management Water, sanitation, drainage, and waste management are some of the aspects that were specifically discussed in Agenda 21. It was emphasized regarding these issues in Agenda 21 that the effort to improve infrastructure provision of water, sanitation, drainage, and waste management need to be integrated. Infrastructure fulfillment is important because minimum infrastructure, especially in developing countries may lead to disease and death. Moreover, developing countries have challenges where infrastructure fulfillment exceeds the growth of the demand. Whereas fulfilling

Infrastructure and basic services include water, sanitation, waste management, social welfare, transportation and communication facilities, health, school, safety and open space. Habitat Agenda emphasize that government, community, and private need to cooperate in order to fulfill the basic need. Central government will have a share in supporting local authority in management, operation, and maintenance of infrastructure and basic services. On other side, private sector, community, and non government organization can participate in service provider and management under coordination of the government. Government must also provide infrastructure access and basic services especially for poor and marginalized people as well as involving local community in establishing standard and priority.

urabaya as the 2nd largest metropolitan city in Indonesia with population of over 2 million people has turned out to only have one final disposal site (TPA - landfill), which is Keputih TPA that receives waste from 155 temporary disposal sites (TPS) in Surabaya. However, solid waste at Keputih is not well managed and have caused bad odor that bothered the surrounding neighborhood and has been forced to close in the year 2001. In consequence, solid waste has kept piling up at TPS sites and moreover, solid waste can be seen at every corner of the city. In the year 2004 in the city of Surabaya, there are approximately 2.610 tons of solid waste every day. This horrible situation has convinced Surabaya city, NGO, and community to start dealing with solid waste more seriously and to find solution together. After identifying that the main source of solid waste in Surabaya came from the household,

encouraged their participation in the process. This program has also built network and partnership with relevant stakeholders for a more collaborative action. This small action has gained popularity among Surabaya people. In general, the program consists of various activities and initiatives in solid waste management such as Solid Waste Management and Education, Green and Clean Competition, Cleanest Kecamatan Competition, Zero Waste Competition and Initiation of Independent Solid Waste Management. In 2005, in order to motivate people and to attract broader participants, Surabaya City supported by several partners has seriously worked on the competition in introducing the concept of reward and punishment and in managing their surrounding environment. Green and Clean was at first carried out at the level of environmental groups. The main criteria is environmental cleanliness (including mosquito larvae in houses). In 2006, due to the increasing awareness of solid waste management, the criteria is broaden to include waste management and recycle initiative. There are several categories in the Green and Clean competition: 1. Solid Waste Management (solid waste sorting to compost treatment/making, solid waste management facilities, and solid waste system monitoring), 2. Solid Waste Recycle (creativity, art value, and economic value), 3. Cleanliness (of streets and environments, condition of waste disposal site and drainage), 4. Reforestation (biodiversity, the use of compost in forestation process), 5. Condition of toilet/bathroom that includes cleanliness, whether mosquito larvae can be found or not, to public knowledge in preventing dengue fever. Waste Free program is almost similar with Green and Clean competition. Green and Clean Award will be awarded on May (anniversary of Surabaya City) while Waste Free Award will be awarded on August during Independence Day. If an area manages to win these 2 competitions in the same year, Kota Government will provide incentive as a reward in maintaining clean environment. In 2007, there is 18,6% decrement of solid waste to be transporter to the final disposal site compare to the previous year prior to Green and Clean initiative. Solid waste has been reduced into 1.480 tons. Green and Clean has inspired people to take part in conserving environment and managing solid waste independently. This has made Surabaya City into a better city to live in. Several remarkable results of this program are: Awareness of Surabayas people on the importance of solid waste management has resulted in 6.500 environmental cadres whose task is to inform people in their neighborhood on how to manage their waste; In Surabaya, there are 750 environmental groups that have applied independent community based solid waste management by making compost, and also use it as fertilizer for their own environment; Plenty of tress and other plants have been HARSYA PAMBUDI planted in the housing areas, some of which became famous such as Orchard Kampong, Adenium Kampong, Aloe Vera Kampong, etc; In general, green space in Surabaya has increased from 269,29 hectare in 2006 to 274,44 hectare in 2007; There are at least 15 small-medium scale companies for recycle products (umbrella, bags, wallet, and lamp shade) under the support of UNILEVER CARE. Therefore, the people can benefit from the sales of non-organic waste and thus created new work field; Strengthening social capital due to active participation of the people including women and elderly in this program; The program has said to inspire and has been replicated in other big cities such as Jakarta and Yogyakarta;

Orchid Kampong (Kampung Anggrek) Cleanest and Greenest Kampong Pesona Anggrek Kampong, Jl. Kertajaya IV-C, RT 07 RW XIII, Kertajaya Kelurahan, Gubeng Kecamatan, is the winner of Surabayas Green and Clean Competition in 2006. Based on the very long list of criteria, all judges have finally agreed to choose this kampong that was full of orchids, as the cleanest kampong. Thus, this kampong has the right to receive gratification money of 25 million IDR. One unique thing of this kampong is orchid in every single house. This was possible due to solidarity and consistency of its residents. This can also be seen in peoples behavior in solving solid waste problems. The people managed their solid waste well and they have composter to treat organic waste into compost. Margorukun Kampong Gg. VI Kampong with MoU This kampong is located in Gundhi kelurahan,
Bubutan kecamatan (Tembok Dhuwur area) Surabaya. Before, this kampong is known to be black area. Surabaya people even call it bromo corah kampong (where criminal lives); from gambling (pigeon race), drunk, to people with high criminal record. In 2005, change occurred when community leader Muhammad Sugiarto is elected to be Head of Rukun Tetangga (neighborhood). Prior to his election, he asked for peoples agreement to conduct change and this request has acquire positive respond from all residents. Even after serving as Head of RT, the man who is better known as Abah Giarto made an innovation by asking everyone to sign some sort of agreement for certain matters, such as no clothes wringing improperly thus creating slum image, unless guest, there is no parking in front of the house thus obstructing other streets user, and obligating resident to sort their waste. Interestingly, there are certain days to sun-dried their mattress together. That was not all; Margorukun kampong also enforced greenery in every house and independently builds Waste Water Treatment Installation (IPAL). This IPAL is eventually reused by the people to water their plants of which have made the kampong green. Thanks to persistent and consistent effort of Margorukun people, Margorukun kampong has become a very comfortable place to live in. Beside clean, this kampong has also succeeded in moving its residents to build social capital in preserving their environment. (David, from various sources)

Testimony
Interview with Pekalongan Mayor dr. M. Basyir Ahmad
ekalongan is not only known as Batik City, but also as Slum Area-Free City. How is that possible? To answer this, Percik had the opportunity to interview dr. M. Basyir Ahmad (Pekalongan Mayor) at his house. The interview is summarized below. Pekalongan City has won many awards. What is the secret? My first secret is intention. When campaigning for Mayor, what was the intention? Inna ma amalu bin niyat (all depends on the intention). Im intent to benefit as many people as possible. That was my first intention. Afterward, we certainly know how the government goes? First, how to increase human resources index. This is regarding welfare. Second, we talk about fairness, how people are treated equally. Whether they are poor or rich, in order to get something, they must be treated equally. The next step is always community based. Those are the main philosophy. Then, in order for the people to be good, they must be empowered, coordinated, and accompanied by. This is the brief look; this is the line of thought. Then there is another matter, according to the officials, regions must be made autonomic. There is no way for a country as big as Indonesia to be centralistic. The authority obviously should be given to the region. Well, I also gave my authority to my subordinate. For example, for permitting matters, I dont need to sign anything, because my subordinate can do that. Thus, Im sharing my authority. We build good institution, we find good partner and we provide the fund. With the three elements, program orientation is no longer project. Project will not last, but program continue to sustain. When this is done, everyone is asked to work, and will work, the result will be maximum. Its impossible for us to work alone. When we autonomic, by involving the people that we led, everything will run. Last, theres this thing called coordination. Coordination is easier said than done.
Thats why I made a step. Where is actually the tip that makes government succeed? The tip is actually person per person. When the people are good, the government will automatically be good. The smallest organization in the community is family. I push families to be good. When the families are good, RT will be good. When RT is good, RW will be good, etc. until finally the city will also be good. In order to perform this step, I must strengthened existing institution in kelurahan. It is difficult to coordinate a city, thus we start from the bottom. We coordinate kelurahan with its Lurah, PKK, LPM, BKM-as product of PNPM, and Karang Taruna. This is the pillar that finally turned into Working Group. There is Housing and Environment Working Group. Coordinators of LPM, BKM, in the city level are also involved, also Health Agency, PU, BPN. Further commitment and high willingness will open up opportunities. How did you gain support from the people? First is trust. When the people trust us, they will be easy to talk to. From the beginning, I tried to make my program get in touch with the people and I always tried to talk to people. Every Monday and Thursday I do radio interview. The program is titled Mayor Answers and everyone easily meet me in my office. I communicate, thus they can talk about something and we can give them something. With communication eventually people will know that I am not a difficult person. And also, communication must be done in groups, not with every single person, it is not possible. I communicate with the groups that were established by the people, not by myself, such as LPM, Art Board, Worker Union, etc. they decides. I will not touch or interfere, let it come from the bottom. If something happens, nobody can say that I engineered or made it difficult. Is housing development apart from sanitation development? At first, housing and environment are not included

helter is still a problem, faced not only by Indonesia, but also the world. Unsuitable shelter leads to unsuitable housing, especially in the city; thus making city housing/ settlement a worrisome issue. It is clear that development of an area was not in accordance with proper housing quality. Hence, plenty of people cannot afford proper housing yet. According to UN Habitat, currently in the world, there are at least 1,2 billion people living in unsuitable areas, whereas in major cities of Indonesia, approximately 12,5 million people are living in slum areas with the total area of 57.000 hectare and 8 million people are without proper housing. This has clearly showed that Indonesia is one of the countries that must deal with problems of physical and infrastructure sectors of settlement, namely high urbanization, poor quality of settlements, and large number of cities without sanitation, and water infrastructures. At the moment, only approximately 49% of the population is without water supply. The high number of urbanization does not only mean population

roviding opportunity for private companies in raw water provision for the people will clearly eliminates the countrys power over water resources. As profit-oriented institution, private companies will only invest when guarantee of investment rate of return is present. Thus, companies require guarantee, either on political risk or performance risk, the guarantee issue is being charged to people through compensation payment from government and tariff adjustment. Tariff adjustment was completed by applying full cost recovery, to ensure steady rate of return for contract
holder. Moreover, in providing raw water, private companies will not invest in low income areas and topographically difficult areas because these, will present difficulty in returning their investment. This is the reason of why raw ware provision in remote areas has been neglected. Looking at stipulation in Section 33 of UUD 1945 which not so clearly guaranteeing the peoples right to water has opened up opportunities for derivative law products to be further away from guaranteeing citizens right to water as proven in Law No 7 Year 2004. Meanwhile, in the context of local autonomy, instead of formulating local regulation that protected the peoples right to water, many regulations have turned out to only added more burden for the people

Human Right protection as part of the country responsibility, then in implementing their three functions, which is legislative function, monitoring function, and budget function, they will put forth citizens right guarantee. Through legislation authority or establishment of Law or other regulations, for example, hopefully there will be more Law and/or Local Regulations which come from legislative initiative which substance is categorized in protecting public interest. This is very important, considering that in different regions, there are more Local Regulations which substance only regulating local administrative task, or retribution to increase their local revenue (PAD) without equal reciprocity of building public facilities. Another proof of DPRDs helplessness is when the monitoring function is ineffective. DPRD in general is no more powerful than monitored executives both in implementing local regulations and allocating local budget. DPRD has presented themselves as no more than rubber stamp. Thus, the people who are already burdened with various retributions have never felt equal reciprocation. In budget sector, DPRD has never made peoples needs a budget priority. The second step is to improve people awareness on Human Right especially economic, social, and cultural rights through various law counseling, training, partnership or Human Right advocacy where University
support, especially from Law Faculty is very important. This is very important to be done, considering that people who are directly impacted by the policy from local government, often do not fully realize the importance of their active participation in the process of policy making from planning, design, discussion, establishment to the process of implementation. People who dont realize their rights to participate in law and governance will certainly increase opportunity to be neglected. On the other side, law protection on public access to law information in the form of local regulation and implementation regulations are still significantly low thus people are only considered as the object in local development. For that reason, it is also important to persuade formulation of Local Regulation on Public Participation or Peoples Right to Public Information Access. By empowering the people, potency of regulations including local budget that may violate heir rights can be reduced as such. The third is dissemination of Human Rights

Suharso Monoarfa:
ince last year, Habitat Day has been commemorated regularly in Indonesia. Host of this commemoration has been agreed to rotate between Public Housing Ministry and Public Work Ministry. This year, the host of commemoration is Public Housing Ministry. The following is summary of Perciks interview with Public House Minister Suharso Monoarfa. What is the benefit of World Habitat Day Commemoration in the context of Housing in Indonesia? The worlds theme this year is Better City, Better Life. As I like to say in many occasions, city is a symbol of what people call settlements, even though city is a lot broader than settlement. What Im trying to say is that when we are able to provide good settlement, good living will also present. This will provide good feedback as well on housing, although in reality, better city depends on better home. So, better home, better city, better life. Better life itself is actually civilization. A house is not just a house but also infrastructure, facilities, and utilities

ater and its sources as one of natural treasures is an absolute requirement for living creatures in supporting their lives and maintain their health. Water that covers more than two-third of the earths surface provides living space 300 times wider than the land, however, most of the water cannot be used directly. Only 1% can be use as water supply, even still have to go through a process. The technology that is currently applied starts from raw water collection, water treatment into clean water that greatly depends on the quality of raw water source, then through the distribution system through the pipes to the service area. Water treatment was done for raw water that was basically do not comply with the current water supply standard, thus, incompliance elements need to be removed or reduced, in order for the water to comply with the standard. This was completed by water treatment. Water treatment technology greatly depends on the raw water quality. Large scale urban water treatment treats water by adding coagulants into the raw water. With this method, dissolved particles in the water will become bigger flogs and will settle. Then, the clean upper part of the water is removed to be use for daily needs. However, it is difficult to find coagulant in remote
areas. Even if it is available it will be unaffordable for local people. One of the alternatives is the use of natural coagulant from plants around us. Research by The Environmental Engineering Group of Leicester University England has long studied potency of natural coagulant in small, medium, and large scale water treatments. Their research was focused on coagulant potency of flour from Moringa oleifera seed. This plant can be found widely in northern part of India, but now it can be found everywhere in the tropical area, including Indonesia. In Indonesia the plant is known as kelor plant with small leaves. Moringa Oleifera: Kelor (in Indonesia, Java, Sunda, Bali, Lampung); Kerol (Buru); Marangghi (Madura); Moltong (Flores); Kelo (Gorontalo); Keloro (Bugis); Kawano (Sumba); Ongge (Bima); Hau fo (Timor). The plant is also known as drumstick plant due to the long shape of the seed, although some calls it horseradish because the root tastes like radish. Kelor (moringa oliefera) is included in the family of clump plant with height of 7-11 meters. In Java, Kelor is often used as yard plants because it can also be used as medicine. Kelor tree is not very big. The branch is only few and easily break but it has a strong root. The main stem is gray. The leaves are small in the shape of egg oval and stacked in compound in one single stack. Kelor can grow well in areas 300-500 meters above the sea water surface. The flower is yellowish white with green color stem. Only 1% of water Kelor flower grows all can be used as year long with fragrant scent. Kelor fruit is shaped water supply like long triangle called klentang (Java). It also

shapes like string bean and hard, with green color and 120 cm long. The sap that has turned into brown color is called blendok (Java). Cultivation of moringa or kelor requires very minimal maintenance and can survive long drought. It will quickly grow into 4-10 meters height, bloom, and bear fruit in 1 year after plantation. The plant will grow quickly both from seed and from cutting, even when planted in dry unfertile land. Thus it is a good plant for critical lands with long drought season. Clarification Process Kelor seed is left to ripe on the tree and harvested when it has dried. Its seed wing is very light and the skin can be easily removed leaving white seed. When it got really dry in the tree, the seed will break and the seed will fly everywhere. The skinless seed will then crushed and pounded into fine powder of Moringa seed. Numbers of moringa seed required for water treatment depends on concentration of water contaminant. To treat 20 liters water (1 jerry can), 2 grams of kelor seed powder or approximately 2 teaspoons (5 ml). Add a little bit of clean water to the powder thus make it into paste. Put the paste into clean bottle and add another one cup (200 ml) of clean water, then shake it for five minutes until it perfectly

ll life form in this blue planet will need water to survive. This is why we see the world in persuading individual to save every drop of water, because water could be very valuable for those who need it. Due to the large number of contaminated water sources, designers are trying to find a way to change moist air into water to satisfy the thirst of million. The following are several best tools to harvest water out of thin air.

An Australian inventor has developed a tool that can generate water unlimitedly from the air. Supported by wind, this tool can also use the same source for water. Max Water, according to the inventor will generate large volume of water by the use of low humidity air. This rectangle-shaped tool can extract approximately 7.500 liters of water per day.

elements so that they can grow 10-20 inches and surrounding the younger plant and at night an isolation plate may generate water through condensation.
Designed by student of Muthesius Academy of Art and Design in Germany. Imke Hoehler has created a system that can generate water out of thin air and fog. It is called DropNet and can generate up to 20 liters of clean water every day. A series of several structures will be able to provide drinking water for the whole village.
DropNet
Scientists at Institut Fraunhofer for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) believe that in average humidity of 64 percent, one cubic meter of air contains about 11,5 ml or water that can be extracted and solve the problem of billion people living in the rural area. The system utilizes hygroscopic salt water to absorb humidity. The air is then flowed to the tower unit, absorbing water from the air which further contain in the vacuum tank. Solar power will then heat the water and changed it into steam, which later condensed and collected.

Management have mandated time line of 2013 to stop the open dumping practice. Improvement of environment sanitation also requires a lot of hard work. There are 22.500 hectare of strategic areas in 100 cities that are still experiencing water puddle due to rain that must be dealt with until 2014. The above condition cannot be apart from the long history of low collective awareness on the importance of sanitation development in this country. The thinking that sanitation is a personal problem thus people will find their own way to fulfill their need has brought less attention from government compare to other sector. According to Nugroho, every day, rivers, dams, lakes, beaches, and rice fields are filled with 14.000 tons of human feces. This number is equal with 14.000 elephants. Whereas, there are not that many elephants in this country. High number of open defecation has caused inadvertent impact on the condition of environmental sanitation. We can no longer able to overcome the problem, because it closely related with early mental attitude of the people who are not aware of healthy sanitation, he said. One of the inadvertent impacts of poor sanitation is 50 out of 1.000 babies do not reach the age of five years. This was caused by very poor sanitation. But according to Nugroho, If we are aware and donate 1 IDR for sanitation improvement, in return, we will get benefit with the value of 11 IDR. However, if we
worsen the environmental sanitation, it will cost us 36 IDR. This is one examples of the poor condition of sanitation in this country. The poor condition of environmental sanitation, according to him, was not mainly caused by industrial waste, because 80 percent of it was caused by domestic waste. This includes open defecation, or defecation on improper WC (Water Closet). Thus, plenty or people still not aware of the sanitation crisis. It is also said by Nugroho, another impact of open defecation is that 75 percent of rivers in the cities of Indonesia are inconsumable, because it has become waste water. For that reason, PDAM all over Indonesia have to work extra hard to treat waste water to be consumable water. Because of poor sanitation, PDAM must provide 15-30 percent extra funding compare to the condition where sanitation is well maintained. This is, according to Nugroho, what we call sanitation crisis; which includes individual sanitation by human feces, solid waste, or ditch or drainage. This is the condition that has not been realized by most government officials, private, or people in general. Sadder still, until today, government has only allocated too little fund for sanitation improvement. Only 1 percent in APBD I and II. APBD is around eight per thousand. Thus, attention toward environmental sanitation is still very little. EKO

This event is part of 2010 World Habitat Day commemoration series from 12-16 October 2010. Also present was 40 people from 3R (Reuse-Reduce-Recycle) Community Empowerment Group (KSM) and 60 counterparts. The problem is that poor sanitation condition will also affect water quality. Improper sanitation condition will cause contamination and very bad impact on water quality. This has caused various diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, and other dangerous diseases, said Public Work Minister Djoko Kirmanto to reporters after the opening ceremony of 2010 Sanitation Jamboree at Depok, Tuesday (12/10). The event was attended by numbers of Ministers wives who have united in Solidarity of United Cabinet
Wives (SIKIB). It was said by Djoko, that sanitation problem cannot be dealt only by government. Therefore, through Sanitation Jamboree supported by communitys active role it is expected that adequate/proper sanitation can be achieved to improve communitys health. The purpose of this Jamboree is to increase concern in the importance of sanitation, he said. According to Djoko, the children that have participated in the jamboree will become ambassador in each of their region. Moreover, he added, children have high spirit in absorbing new ideas and knowledge. Eventually, these ambassadors will influence the surrounding environment. They will eventually be an icon in each region and will accompany head of the region in the campaign of sanitation improvement.

outh Urban Forum (YUF) of Indonesia that comprises of college students who care about urban has been initiated on June 2010, at the same time as the third APMCHUD (Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Housing and Urban Development) at Solo, Jawa Tengah. Four months later, to commemorate 2010 World Habitat Day, the youth in YUF Indonesia have met again for more concrete follow-up. The two days meeting on 8-9 November 2010 was held at ITS (Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology) Surabaya. Selection of Surabaya as location for YUF meeting is not without reason. Surabaya city has several good practices in solving problems of housing and urban that which was done way before through Kampong Improvement Program (KIP). Moreover, ITS as meeting location is also where Johan Silas (one of the best expert on urban and housing in Indonesia) came from. YUF activities that were done on early November were also thick with patriotic spirit in commemorating Hero Day, in harmony with spirit and passion of the youth. The first day meeting of YUF was opened officially by the Head of 2010 World Habitat Day Commemoration Team, Oswar Mungkasa. In his speech, Oswar Mungkasa conveys his hope that YUF can be a smart organization for youth in discussing their

After field visit, YUF participants who came from ITS Surabaya, Sebelas Maret University Surakarta, Brawijaya University Malang, Airlangga University Surabaya, and Muhammadiyah University Surakarta return to ITS. The event was continued by presentation on the Spirit of YUF Indonesia by Special Staff of Public Housing Ministry, Kemal Taruc and YUF Coordinator Aris Rizky Kurniawan. This session presented youth involvement in the development scenario and students effort in assisting to solve the housing and urban problems. Presentation of Spirit of YUF Indonesia is expected to be a good start in initiating effort to solve current housing and urban problems. Four Area Discussions Toward the evening of the first day of YUF activity, there is one discussion session with the theme of Utilization of Geographic Information System (GIS) for Housing and Urban Development. First presentation was presented by John Taylor and Ahmad Rifai from Solo Kota Kita who have completed mapping of Solo city. John Taylor in his presentation also reminded the youth who is full of new ideas and innovation to responsible and participate in the future urban development. On the second presentation, Prof. Bangun Mulyo from ITS Geomatics emphasized 4 things, namely space, housing, disaster, and civilization. Even with advanced technology, including GIS, youth is reminded to never disregard local philosophy. The next day, first discussion was led by speaker Retno Hastijanti from 17 August University Surabaya who raised topics of conflict spaces on urban housing and Dra. Yuningtyas from Atma Jaya University of Yogyakarta who discuss improvement of slum area through community empowerment. On the next session, ex Program Manager of UN Habitat for Indonesia, Dodo Juliman and Head of Architecture Department of ITS led presentation on

Next session presented Dr. Rachmah Ida from Airlangga University who raised housing and urban development in the perspective of social, cultural and integration of science discipline. Young sociology Pramudina Anggraini who better known as Anggi Arifin then led presentation on research for urban development. In her presentation, Anggi emphasized the concept of mindfulness in performing a research. Anggi also add that a research requires clear target in order for it to be a qualify research.
Follow-up of YUF Indonesia On the second day post 4 sector discussions, youth of YUF participants discussed and tried to clarify position of YUF Indonesia and what role could possibly involve the youth. The meeting was held again to remind collective commitment on the importance of youth involvement in urban development. Between discussions, Daily Head of Habitat Seknas (National Secretary), Lana Winayanti presented the framework of youth program category which was divided into 5 things, moreover, Lana Winayanti also hope that YUF may continue to contribute well and to be welcomed by the peole.

Taking place at Lombok Raya Hotel Mataram, on 30 November 2 December 2010, 2010 Unicef s WES Program National Coordination Meeting was held with the theme Government and Community, Together Performing Change. In his speech, H. Ahyar Abduh (Mataram Mayor) revealed that with strategic cooperation between Unicef and Local Government, Mataram has become one of supporters of three prominent programs implementation which benefit was truly felt by the people of Mataram City, among others are improvement of communitys health degree, improvement of communitys revenue through compost production and seed/ vegetable plants, and improvement of urban infrastructures quality and quantity by built drinking water facilities, environmental sanitation facilities, as well as solid waste facilities. WES-Unicef program is one of eight programs under the umbrella of RI-Unicef cooperation year
2006-2010. The program is supported by Swedish and Dutch Government with the fund of 23 million USD. WES program as one of community based water supply and environmental sanitation programs also contributes in achieving target of water supply and sanitation development through effective and efficient community based water supply and environmental sanitation model approach which was expected to be adopted and further developed by Local Government. WES-Unicef program was completed at 6 provinces, 25 kabupaten and 5 cities at Eastern Indonesia. WSES Program National Coordination Meeting is basically a national level coordination for the purpose of synergizing WES program implementation, from central to local, identifying and developing alternative solution for strategic issues and problems that have arose during program implementation, as well as sharing experiences, lessons, innovation and best practices among program implementer. The National Coordination Meeting was attended by Central Government, Local Government, Donor Agencies, and Counterparts. Several latest presentation regarding prominent practices was presented by 6 selected Kabupaten/Kota.

ater supply and environmental sanitation development does not only relate to one certain aspect but represent an integration of several aspects, namely technical, institutional, funding, social, and environmental. Based on that concept, to improve coordination in developing these aspects, Water Supply and Environmental Sanitation Working Group (WSES Working Group) was established, that includes ministries of related main tasks and functions (tupoksi) such as Domestic Affair Ministry (Bina Bangda Directorate General), Health Ministry (PPPL Directorate General), Public Work Ministry (Cipta Karya Directorate General), Finance Ministry (Budget Directorate General) and Environmental Ministry and under the coordination of Bappenas. Thus, an evaluation to 2010 activities of WSES Working Group is required along with the followup. In order to realize this, a 2010-2011 WSES Development Planning and Evaluation Meeting was

ater supply and sanitation have big influence on poverty reduction, child mortality rate reduction, national budget saving and women productivity increment. For those reasons, Banten Provincial Government has adopted WSES program since 2002 and has established Provincial WSES Working Group in 2004. To support 2010-2014 RPJMN accomplishment and 2015 MDGs targets, on 18-20 November 2010, Banten Province WSES Working Group in cooperation with Waspola Facility held a WSES Development Synergy Workshop of Banten Province that took place at Jayakarta-Anyer Hotel. WSES development at Banten Province needs to give more attention to areas with low water supply and environmental sanitation coverage, naturaldisaster-vulnerability (of drought, flood), and socially KLB (breakouts such as diarrhea, polio)-vulnerable areas due to poor lifestyle of the people (isolated areas, urban and rural slum). Through participative process, the output of the workshop is: 1. Drafts of working Group organizational strategy and its active role in WSES development of Banten Province. 2. Comprehension improvement on WSES national policies and the implementation at the local. 3. Establishment of coordination and communication flow between Provincial and Kabupaten/Kota WSES Working Groups. Some of the final conclusions of Banten local and provincial WSES development are: not all areas have institution that manages water/drinking water/, low allocation/budget support for WSES activities, position rotation that can influence WSES performance, low
community awareness on the importance of PHBS, and low community empowerment activities. While supporting potencies of WSES development among others are: existence of special allocation funds (DAK) for Water Supply and Sanitation, adequate surface water sources, improvable PDAM service coverage, community empowerment potency, private involvement in CSR, and other sanitation project support. In 2009, average water supply service coverage in Banten Province is 69,48%, while for sanitation is 57,99%. In order to support WSES sector development at Banten Province, POKJA several activities have been carried out such as Water Supply DAK and Sanitation DAK. Beside DAK support, there is also Pamsimas activity that was carried out in 2 Kabupaten of Lebak and Serang, with 12 regular villages each. Some of the challenges in Banten Province water supply provision are: Raw water limitation Decentralization, by establishment of new PDAM that may increase conflict and reduce service coverage. Human resources competent Large investment Other WSES-related activity at Banten Province is PPSP program (Settlement Sanitation Development Acceleration). PPSP was implemented at Banten Province among others by providing counterpart in SSK formulation at Serang Kabupaten, as well as establishing 2011 target kabupaten/kota of: Pandeglang Kabupaten, South Tangerang City, and Serang City. These kabupaten/kota must have commitment in preparing WSES Working Group, working group operation fund, and fund for supporting studies. (AWI)

Toilet Alternatives
By Arifin Dananjaya Engineering Faculty Lecturer at 10 November Institute Surabaya
ndonesia took the third place of Southeast Asian countries with the worst sanitation (domestic waste water treatment) system after Laos and Myanmar. According to the Indonesia Environmental Status data in 2005, no less than 400.000 m3/day of domestic waste water are being disposed directly to rivers and ground without prior treatment. 61,5% of it occurred at Java Island. Feces waste is usually removed by several methods namely the use of septic tank, direct disposal to river or lake, direct disposal to ground, and direct disposal to pond or beach. In some rural areas in Indonesia, there are still plenty of poor people with very minimum sanitation. People are still practicing open defecation on rivers because they dont have special disposal line for domestic waste water or waste water from the bathroom. Sometimes people still even defecate on their own yard. Beside of economic factor, habit and low education factors have big influence in peoples lifestyle. Several reasons as to the need of using various technology alternatives are: 1. Help to know suitable sanitation system. 2. Help to decide suitable sanitation system in accordance with the peoples demand. 3. The right tool for planning that was initiated by community. 4. As general information on options to sanitation technology.

containing 47 articles with the total 514 pages. The volume contains three parts plus one extra part in the closure with the title of Pestering Architecture, Architecture Education and Design in Indonesia. Here, Tjuk Kuswartojo expresses that housing and settlement can be seen as a case of how sustainable and environmental developments (should) be done and carried out. The author also initiated the role of government, community and other sector in it. First part of this volume describes the authors view on concept and nature of a city as well as city development which not only depends on the demography aspect but also historical aspect and economic base. The second part of the volume is then tries to describe the role of government as an important element of environment, urban, and housing management and implementation. This is the part that was reviewed in book review activity on 18 October 2010. Andrinof Chaniago as panelists said that this book is not only important for housing stakeholders, but also for people in general due to its inter-disciplinary nature. Moreover, this issue is important to be noted by many parties because the issue of housing and settlement relates with the
efforts to fulfill communitys welfare/prosperity. The articles in this part of the book discuss the importance of self-supported housings, provision of affordable housing and implementation of participative development which rests on the community. This City and Housing volume is closed with numbers of articles on architecture education reorientation, architectural design and architecture profession. These articles are in line with Tjuk Kuswartojos profession as lecturer in architectural sector. Although they were written within different time period, this part basically showed the red line between the authors perspective on environmental development and what must be acted upon by architectural design profession. This is a complete book in term of time period and discussion coverage. This book is expected to be able to provide positive contribution in sustainable and environment developments as well as implementation of housing and settlement. (LNP)

Different policies and programs of environmental preservation have been launched, but we must admit that environmental contamination and degradation have not been able to be reduced optimally. This issue cannot be ignored because it will eventually disturb life continuity of Indonesian people or eliminates all natural resources.

Nature has the ability to restore the contaminated water condition either by natural purification process using soil, sand, stone, and microorganism around us. Mass pollution by human has overwhelmed natures ability to restore the nature condition into initial condition. Nature has lost its ability to purify pollution. Waste and other non environmentally-friendly substances such as plastic, DDT, detergent and etc. will worsen natural degradation. There are several factors that have caused water and ground contamination, namely erosion and high rainfall, growing pile of solid waste from housing and settlement, as well as chemical substance distribution from houses, farms, industries, etc. Solid waste and waste water contains various elements such as dissolved gasses, dissolved solid, oil and grease as well as microorganism.

lthough there havent been any science that can provide exact forecast of climate change, the tendency is going to the negative direction. Higher temperature can cause extreme weather conditions such as drought, flood, storm, and heat wave. Climate change is also believed to be the cause of sea surface temperature increment and the change of rain pattern and river flow. Impact of climate change will be obvious by almost all of world population and though some received positive impact, most of the impacts are negative. The negative impact will be suffered more by the poor people because they have high vulnerability due to less good governance and improper infrastructure. Climate change impact may also cause political conflict and instability. From 2000 to early 2008, there are 2.947 weather-related natural disasters. Water shortage may become the biggest problem in relation to climate change impact. Community may even need to migrate across the countrys border in order to obtain water and food. 40 percent of world population is living in 100 km distance from the beach.
