Abstract

This study discusses the adaptation of displacees due to the Ciliwung River normalization displacement program carried out by the Daerah Khusus Ibukota (DKI) which is a special region of the capital city of the Jakarta provincial government that intends to address the problem of flooding that occurred in the capital city of Jakarta. There is a change in displacees, namely: a reduction in income as well as an increase in expenses for the rental of a low-cost flat, water and electricity. The concept used in this study is Suharto's concept of an adaptation strategy in which there are three strategic points, including active strategy, passive strategy and social network strategy. The concept was chosen because it was adapted to the habits of the Indonesian people themselves. The method used is a case study with the technique of determining the informants by snowball sampling. The results showed that displacees carried out Suharto's overall adaptation strategy.

Highlights

  • The floods that occurred in Jakarta were caused by narrowing and silting of the Ciliwung River in the area due to people building houses along the riverbanks and the habit of throwing garbage into the river. Gunawan (2010) mentions "The canal system does not work becauseJakarta's topography is flat so water cannot flow gravitatively”

Summary

Introduction

The floods that occurred in Jakarta were caused by narrowing and silting of the Ciliwung River in the area due to people building houses along the riverbanks and the habit of throwing garbage into the river. Gunawan (2010) mentions "The canal system does not work becauseJakarta's topography is flat so water cannot flow gravitatively”. The floods that occurred in Jakarta were caused by narrowing and silting of the Ciliwung River in the area due to people building houses along the riverbanks and the habit of throwing garbage into the river. Gunawan (2010) mentions "The canal system does not work because. Jakarta's topography is flat so water cannot flow gravitatively”. Sedimentation of mud and rubbish causes the water flow not to be smooth. Flood control with the construction of canals is only able to reduce the flood burden temporarily. The DKI Jakarta government plans to overcome the problem of flooding by carrying out the Ciliwung river normalization program and relocating communities living along the river to inhabit a Rusunawa (public apartment unit, with rental arrangement). The normalization plan is contained in Regional Regulation (Perfa) Number 1 of 2012 concerning Spatial Planning in 2030 and Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2014 concerning Spatial Detailed Plan (RDTR)
