Abstract

On late January 2014, the public response through internet to the work of Jakarta local government has generated 113,695 negative and 14,857 positive sentiments. This phenomenon has showed the potential of the internet and the fact that our society is connected. It also showed that everyone could participate in city planning discussions, which in this case were about flood and land use. This paper exposes an exploration of this potentials through (a) critical investigations on internet user about how people's awareness and engagement are created through internet, (b) observing websites that focus on land use and ways of solving flood in Jakarta and surroundings, (c) developing a website www.dagedubrag.org, that is indeed created to generate people's awareness and make them actively contribute and collaborate in city planning for wider public engagements.
