Village Settlement Research Articles

Picking the Wild Poppies

This article examines the fundraising discourse of the non-profit organization Divé maky (“Wild Poppies”), which provides individualized scholarships for Roma children who exhibit significant talent or proficiency in diverse fields such as music, theater, visual arts, sports, and general studies. Following Adam Saifer, I describe the fundraising characteristics of this program as features of (racial) neoliberal philanthropy that prioritizes individual empowerment and success over addressing the gaps in public services resulting from neoliberal austerity (Saifer 2023: 225). After analyzing the fundraising model, this article observes and reflects on an application process for a scholarship in the case of my child Roma interlocutor from a village settlement who would otherwise continue to lack access to music schooling and proper musical instruments. In this case study, I depict multiple crises that have influenced the journey of the membership of Divé maky and also an encounter with musical otherness that emerged from non-Roma perception of Roma household musicking. These experiences will be narrated and theorized under the framework of difficult knowledge (Britzman 1998). I will also comment on my ethnographic positionality as a non-Roma scholar and articulate how my identity, privilege, and ethnographic presence has shaped the relationships with the interlocutors and the potential for individual social change. Reflecting on the results of this intervention and issues that have resulted in the child’s removal from the program, I conclude that the charisma-based form of donorship of Divé maky with its rules of conduct is, by design, only able to help a specific group of Roma children while others remain marginalized in their education and opportunities for social mobility.

EDUKASI PENGUATAN EKONOMI LOKAL PADA KELOMPOK PETANI GARAM DALAM IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN EKONOMI KERTHI BALI DI DESA KUSAMBA KECAMATAN DAWAN KABUPATEN KLUNGKUNG

Dawan District is one of the areas located in Klungkung Regency which is in the coastal area. Nearly 20% of local people earn their livelihood in the fisheries and marine sectors. The potential of the large marine area, precisely in Kusamba Village, can certainly be a great opportunity for the local community to make a living as salt farmers. Kusamba is an old village located almost seven (7) km from Semarapura City Klungkung, according to Pemancangah or chronicle about the escape of Ki Gusti Maruti who rebelled against the King of Bali in Gelgel (Queen Dalem Dimadya) in 1686, Ki Gusti Maruti also brought along the servants who were residents of Pasek Gelgel and at that time it was said that residents of Pasek Gelgel were also related to residents of Pasek in Kusamba who were known as Pasek Sadra, from these residents of Pasek Gelgel he was at the location of the new settlement in Kuramas village, the residents were placed in Banjar Gelgel, Keramas . In 1750 AD, after the death of the King of the Kelungkung Kingdom, Ratu Dewa Agung Sakti, and was replaced by his sister Ratu Dewa Agung Gde Panji as King of Kelungkung, the sons of the King of Kelungkung Ratu Dewa Agung Gde Pandji were each given a place to live to protect the people and the security of the Kingdom. Klungkung. The population of Kusamba village as of 2021 is 5,465 people consisting of 2,649 men and 2,816 women. In this case, the importance of education related to building a business concept motivates the community to be able to plan a local economic business. The Governor of Bali's policy through Circular Letter (SE) No.17 of 2021 concerning the use of local Balinese traditional salt products in its implementation as a Kerthi Bali Economic concept where he conveyed that traditional salt farmers must be preserved because the salt produced by Kusamba village tastes delicious, this has become opportunities for local communities to be able to build a business, either individually or as a group, by exploiting this potential in their area to help improve the economy and prosperity. It is hoped that the educational understanding of the concept of sustainable business and the Kerthi Bali Economic policy will be able to provide an overview of the community in the Nusa Penida sub-district to build a business that contains elements of Balinese natural local wisdom as a form of assisting the government in realizing the vision and mission of the Bali provincial government. The educational process as a new business is the main thing that needs to be understood, including the elements that support the business line so that it can still reach the market and survive, because a business is not only oriented towards profit but also the community and the surrounding nature.

PEMBERDAYAAN PETERNAK MELALUI PELATIHAN PEMBUATAN PUPUK KOMPOS DESA SOROPIA KECAMATAN SOROPIA KABUPATEN KONAWE

Community service activities integrated with KKN-THEMATIC carried out by the UHO Faculty of Animal Husbandry Lecturer Team took place in Soropia Village, Soropia District, Konawe Regency. Compost is an organic fertilizer produced through the process of decomposition of organic materials, especially animal waste, by active microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The purpose of this service is to provide training and technology transfer in making compost. The methods used include delivering materials and demonstrations. In this activity, training in making compost was carried out by utilizing cow dung which is widely available around the Soropia Village settlement, which is then mixed with super decomposer EM4, rice husks, granulated sugar, and water. Through this training, the community is given knowledge about the use of waste from agriculture and livestock to be processed into useful products, especially in the fields of livestock and organic farming which are currently developing in Soropia Village. The farmers showed high enthusiasm during this activity and appreciated the service carried out, with the hope that similar activities can be continued in the future.

Assessing the Impact of Geospatial Susceptibility on the Rural Agricultural Landscapes of Village Settlements in Southwestern Nigeria

A theoretical framework for agricultural landscape pattern transitions in rural areas is proposed to fill the gap of current research with an empirical study in the Alabata farm settlement in Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria. Adopting the use of ArcGIS 10.8 and Surfer 27.3 the surface area and volume of the ground surface degraded and exposed to harsh weather conditions due to both natural and man-made anthropogenic activities causing runoffs and continuous soil erosion were calculated, which have affected agricultural production and sent some of the farmers packing, abandoning their farmlands. The farm settlement within the total sampled frame area of 1.50 km2 covers a total distance of 5.11 km. The sample frame was divided into 36 frames with similar ecological microclimates, topographical features, terrain, and soil types that fell into either of the two identified soil types: 1 and 2. The study involved the completion of a questionnaire onsite using three major criteria and only 23 farmers responded positively to the few questions as farmers who were either living on the farm or working as hired laborers on-site at the time of the visit. The transition characteristics of agricultural landscape patterns as represented in abandoned, degraded farmlands and orchards are analyzed from a local perspective.

ADMINISTRATIVE, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF KARAŞAR, AN ALEVI-BEKTASHI SETTLEMENT IN BEYPAZARI

Karaşar is an example of the settlement of Alevi-Bektashi Turkmen groups in Anatolia during the early Ottoman period, and the earliest records of Karaşar date to the 15th century. In the Ottoman period, Karaşar was administratively located at the intersection of the borders of the provinces of Hudavendigar, Kastamonu and Ankara, and historically always remained a part of Beypazarı. Karaşar, which had a considerably higher population compared to a classical village settlement, became a subdistrict to which other villages around it were connected in the 19th century. In the Republican period, Karaşar became a town, and although it maintained this status for many years, today it is a settlement consisting of several neighborhoods. This study evaluates the economic and social structure of Karaşar, an Alevi-Bektashi settlement, on the basis of data from tahrir, population and temettuat books in the Ottoman Archives. In addition, the smuggling and banditry issues that have taken place in the history of Karaşar have been emphasized. The evaluations based on archives and research works are also supported by oral history data in Karaşar. The oral history data has been especially important in terms of the continuity of intangible cultural heritage and the control of local narratives with historical data.

Contemporary problems of settlement in the ethnic plain villages of the northwestern regions of Azerbaijan (on the example of the Balakan administrative district)

The geographical position of the region, ethnic composition, acceleration of the process of polarization among rural settlements, and other factors increase the relevance of the research. The subject of the research is the study of rural settlement problems, and the object of the research is the villages and ethnic minorities of the Balakan district. The study aims to reveal the modern problems of the settlement of ethnic minorities and the formation of rural agglomerations, to study the causes of the emptying of some villages, and to prepare a rural development model to prevent the problems. To conduct research, the literature and statistical materials were analyzed, as well as cartographic, comparative analysis, SWOT, and modelling methods were used. Moreover, a field investigation was conducted in the research area. It was revealed that although a majority of the rural population settles in villages with a high demographic potential, villages with a weak demographic potential, due to their higher number, play a major role in the settlement system. Moreover, some villages form rural agglomerations, while some of them lose their population due to socioeconomic challenges. Due to the intense migration processes, some villages have turned into endangered villages (Mazimustu, Goyrujuluk), and even some villages are on the brink of extinction (Bayrambina, Mazimchay, Abjit). Studying the regulation of rural settlement in the region is of practical importance in terms of ensuring the equal development of the region, ensuring the security of the borders, and protecting ethnic minorities. However, there is still a need for serious research in this field.

Relasi Makna Pesan Simbolik dan Tatanan Spasial pada Upacara Penti Masyarakat Kampung Adat Suku Todo

Indonesia has thousands of traditional villages. One of the traditional villages is in Todo Village, West Satar Mese District, Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The traditional village, which is known as the Todo Tribe Traditional Village, has a settlement pattern dominated by ritual practices. In this context, culture is a determining factor in the process of forming settlements. The people of the Todo Tribe Traditional Village have maintained this tradition for generations. One of the traditions that is the focus of this research is the annual penti ritual. This ritual is a practice of thanksgiving for the crops carried out by the community. This series of rituals has influenced the uniqueness of this village settlement pattern. This study was conducted qualitatively through a field research. Data collected by interviews and field observation. The analysis uses semiotics, namely the science of signs, so that it can explore and relate the elements of form, function and meaning to the Todo Tribe Traditional Village. Graphical analysis is used to describe and understand the visual aspects of the Todo Tribe Traditional Village which are appropriately presented graphically (charts or pictures). Finally, the existence of the settlement of the Todo Traditional Village is spatially determined by form, function and meaning (verbal and non-verbal symbolic messages).

Hellenistic Period Watchtowers and Hillside Settlements Identified in “Vezirköprü” Surveys

Vezirköprü, one of the largest districts of Samsun (Amisos), an important port city of the Black Sea, has been the scene of continuous settlement from the Eneolithic Period to the present day thanks to its fertile soils, rivers and its location on an important road. The district, which first appears as a village settlement under the name Phazemon in Strabo, became a city in the Roman Period and was named Neoklaudiopolis. The city called Andrapa in the Byzantine Period took the name Vezirköprü in the Turkish Period and has survived to the present day. The city has witnessed many struggles in this process, including the struggle of the Pontic Kingdom and the Roman Empire. The greatest witnesses of these events were undoubtedly castles and watchtowers. The most famous of these is the Sagylion Castle, localized to Büyükkale in Vezirköprü, which is also mentioned in Strabo. Located on the foothills of Tavşan Mountain, the castle appears to be a typical Mithradates castle due to its location and structures. Although these fortresses built in the region were one of the greatest weapons used by Mithradates Eupator VI against the expansionist policies of the Romans, it is understood that these fortresses were not used on their own but supported by watchtowers selected at the dominant points of the land. Although many fortresses in the Pontos Region have been researched, and some have been excavated, watchtowers have not been sufficiently investigated. This study aimed to shed light on the Hellenistic Period of Vezirköprü by introducing the watchtowers identified during the surveys and the hillside settlements built around them.

RUANG PERMUKIMAN DI DESA TENGANAN DAUH TUKAD SEBAGAI WADAH PELESTARIAN BUDAYA DAN PENGGERAK EKONOMI LOKAL

Tenganan Dauh Tukad Village is one of the Bali Aga villages that still maintains the heritage of ancestral traditions and culture in everyday life. The uniqueness of residential architecture in this village is not only reflected in the layout of buildings, but also in the functional role of these spaces in supporting community cultural activities. This village maintains its traditions by organizing the spatial layout based on the hulu-teben concept, which distinguishes between sacred and profane zones. This research aims to identify and analyze the role of space in Tenganan Dauh Tukad Village as a place for preserving culture and driving the local economy. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. The results showed that spaces in Tenganan Dauh Tukad Village settlements have a significant role in supporting cultural activities. Spaces such as Bale Agung and other structures not only function as physical places, but also become symbols of togetherness and collective strength in the Tenganan Dauh Tukad community. One of the cultural activities carried out at Bale Agung is the traditional ceremony of Perang Pandan (Screwpine War), which is also a tourist attraction that contributes to the local economy. This research concludes that residential architecture in Tenganan Dauh Tukad Village is not just a place to live, but also serves as an important platform to preserve community culture and support local economic sustainability.

The Impact of Village Head Leadership and Village Fund Allocation on the Environmental Quality of Village Settlements

This study aims to analyze the impact of village head leadership and the allocation of village funds on the quality of the village settlement environment. Ecological standards are needed by living creatures for the sustainability of their lives. This can be a good ecosystem and requires an ecological label to balance economic interests and ecological preservation. With regional autonomy, it is hoped that it can improve the economy through development activities in various sectors, several environmental problems emerged during the regional autonomy era, including: a) air pollution caused by energy consumption; b) increasing amount of waste due to increasing population; and c) exploitation of natural resources such as logging and burning of forests, fishing with explosives, and uncontrolled exploitation of natural mineral resources. This study was conducted in Padang Pariaman Regency, which is in West Sumatra Province, involving 103 villages in Padang Pariaman Regency. The Smart PLS application is used to process and analyze data. The results of the study show that village head leadership has a significant influence on the quality of the village settlement environment and the allocation of village funds has a significant impact on the quality of the village settlement environment.

A Review of Village Tourism in Nepal: Concept and Practice

Nepal is a country of 753 local governments. Of the total, 736 local government (276 municipalities and 460 rural municipalities) excluding six metros and 11 sub metros are the full of village attributes-arts, culture, civilization, history and outstanding natural beauty. The transformation of village settlements into potential tourist destinations will be the village tourism initiatives in Nepal. The transformation is generally based on Tourism planning and the planning is based on its concepts and practices. Thus, the study has been conducted to identify the basic concepts and contemporary practices of village tourism in Nepal. From the methodological perspective it is a general qualitative review of recently published journal articles. The study found that village tourism helped to maintain community wellbeing and reduce poverty in homestay tourism destinations. Contrary to that community people particularly residing in other villages are still economically poor and vulnerable. Thereby, their economic poverty can be eradicated through the implementation of appropriate village tourism concepts such as smart village tourism, spatial village tourism and community based ecotourism. In doing so, 736 local government of Nepal must develop at least 5,400 community homestay (six to nine in each local level) tourism destinations. The priority must be given to Nepali tourists as well as Chinese and Indian tourists through different packages in all season and regions. Top-level political leaders and bureaucrats must be able to make diplomatic relation with China and India for promoting village tourism throughout the country.

Environmental Constraints and Human Agency in Early Medieval Village Formation: A Geoarchaeological Approach in the Western Pyrenees (Navarre, Spain)

ABSTRACT The interaction between human agency and environmental factors is a key topic in the archaeological study of early medieval village formation. Such interactions are particularly visible in the construction and maintenance of agrarian landscapes, which often become central to the local socio-economic development. This article explores these processes in a local context of the western Pyrenees (Navarre, Spain) through a combined analysis of documentary sources, toponymy, field survey, and core sampling for geochemical analysis. The foundations of the local landscape were laid down in the Early Middle Ages, closely related to the establishment of a village settlement and the collective appropriation of agrarian resources. The local geological and soil features, marked by the presence of thick and soft, mineral nutrient-rich soils derived from the weathered volcanic rock substrate, permitted the construction and maintenance of a terraced field system. This fact has been key for later landscape evolution at the local and regional scales, including the formation of a supra-local valley community during the Late Middle Ages, or the deep agrarian and demographic transformations that followed the introduction of New World crops during the Early Modern period.

Biogas Plant Desing of Rural Areas Village – Harantekadi, Surgana, Nashik

The biogas generating method involves filling the digester with cow dung and some house waste and is left to ferment for days: the result of the formation produce biogas in the digester. The compositions of the gases are mainly methane and carbon dioxide. The plant is manually operated and does not require high skilled manpower. It is basically expected to be use in farm house in village settlements. This will cut down on environmental pollution global warming and reduce the rate of cutting down trees in rural area. Key Words: (Biogas, Digester, Fermentation, Biological waste.)

Understanding Traditional Malay Communities In Riau Using The Levi-Strauss Framework Of Structuralism

Riau is one of the provinces in the middle of the island of Sumatra. Geographically, Riau's land stretches from the slopes of Bukit Barisan to the coast of the Strait of Malacca. Many traditional Malay settlements are found along the Kampar River, Rokan River, Kampar River, and Indragiri River. Malays are very dominant in Riau Province, but there are also various other ethnic tribes such as Chinese, Banjar, and others. This study will examine the typology of Malay settlements in Riau Province. Typology is the study of types, that is, the attempt to conduct a review of types based on certain criteria. In this case, the framework of Levi-Strauss structuralism is the basis for a review of typology. Levi-Strauss believes that structuralism based on structural studies developed in culture, such as myths, beliefs, language, and symbols can be used as a reference for understanding a society including in the study of traditional settlements. This study uses literature research methods. The stages of the literature review are determining research topics, collecting information and data through various materials and scientific papers, discussion, and writing. Learn from various information about Malay settlements in Riau Province such as the Koto Sentajo settlement, Akit Tribe settlement, Kampung Dalam settlement, Siak Hulu settlement, and Rokan Hulu Defense Village settlement. Culture played an important role in the formation of these traditional Malay settlements. Each Malay settlement formed its distinctive features based on the cultural structure that was developed and adopted. Different cultural elements such as Malay dialects, social strata structures, customary institutions, rituals, inheritance, and kinship systems affect different typologies of traditional Malay settlements.

Village Settlements in Mountainous Tropical Areas, Hotspots of Fecal Contamination as Evidenced by Escherichia coli and Stanol Concentrations in Stormwater Pulses.

Fecal bacteria in surface water may indicate threats to human health. Our hypothesis is that village settlements in tropical rural areas are major hotspots of fecal contamination because of the number of domestic animals usually roaming in the alleys and the lack of fecal matter treatment before entering the river network. By jointly monitoring the dynamics of Escherichia coli and of seven stanol compounds during four flood events (July-August 2016) at the outlet of a ditch draining sewage and surface runoff out of a village of Northern Lao PDR, our objectives were (1) to assess the range of E. coli concentration in the surface runoff washing off from a village settlement and (2) to identify the major contributory sources of fecal contamination using stanol compounds during flood events. E. coli pulses ranged from 4.7 × 104 to 3.2 × 106 most probable number (MPN) 100 mL-1, with particle-attached E. coli ranging from 83 to 100%. Major contributory feces sources were chickens and humans (about 66 and 29%, respectively), with the highest percentage switching from the human pole to the chicken pole during flood events. Concentrations indicate a severe fecal contamination of surface water during flood events and suggest that villages may be considered as major hotspots of fecal contamination pulses into the river network and thus as point sources in hydrological models.

Program of Improving Quality of Village Residential Environment in Ngabang District

Management of the Environmental Quality Improvement Program for Village Settlements in Ngabang District, Landak Regency. The increase in population in Landak Regency is also accompanied by an increase in the number of poor people, this is an existing reality. Its government, which holds the power, should try to overcome this problem. This program aims to help poor people who live in poor environments. This Rural Settlement Program is carried out in Ngabang District, Landak Regency. This study aimed to find out the implementation of the program to improve the quality of the village residential environment in Ngabang District, and about community initiatives and participation in the program to improve the quality of the village residential environment in Ngabang District, Landak Regency. Research methods and data analysis were done using descriptive qualitative techniques. The results of this research indicate that in order for the program to improve the quality of the village residential environment to achieve its targets, coordination between the agencies involved is needed. Before it is implemented, the government needs to socialize the program with the community. Transparency is needed in the program to avoid intervention by groups who do not understand and require participation from the community, so that the implementation gets the expected results.

Correlation Fractal Dimension Analysis Mountainous Traditional Village Settlement Spatial Form –Case Study of Qiandongnan in Guizhou

Objective: A study carried out in the traditional villages of Qiandongnan in Guizhou province, located in China, to portray 409 traditional villages’ spatial distribution and fractal charicteristic, as well as its implications for the preservation of the group of traditional villages. Theoretical framework: From previous research, traditional village quantitative research on spatial area focuses on the statistics of mathematical models and spatial analyses of GIS, which indirectly reflect the complexity of the spatial patterns of traditional villages. Therefore, applying fractal theory to the spatial complexity of villages can provide a relatively objective and direct assessment for studying traditional villages with different formation backgrounds. Method: Data were collected in Google Earth map data and spatial data were obtained, which were synthesized and analyzed using spatial, statistical and mathematics analysis to verify the distribution factors and know about villages’ spatial fractal characteristics. Results and conclusion: The mountain settlements in Qiandongnan are concentrated in Leishan based on the Miao national group and “Liping-Congjiang-Rongjiang” based on the Dong national group. The q values of the explanatory power of each factor for the spatial distribution of traditional villages in the Qiandongnan area are, in descending order, intangible cultural heritage > GDP > distance from roads > height > the proportion of ethnic minorities > urbanization rate > average annual temperature > average annual precipitation > distance to rivers. Research implications: Villages contribute significantly to the enhancement of traditional Chinese culture, especially the preservation of historical buildings and distinctive local cultures. Furthermore, Knowing the factors of traditional village centralized contiguous protection mode and rural planning based on the policy of rural revitalization in China. Originality/value: Collected traditional villages’ distribution data from the official website and marked on the Google Earth map. Spatial analysis distribution of villages and emphasizes the importance of spatial correlation analysis in understanding the relationship between land use and rural population distribution.

Study on the Cultural Landscape of Traditional Salt Village Settlement – Taking Dingshan Settlement, Qigu as an Example

<p>我國《文資法》於2005年修法，新增「文化景觀｣類別。十多年來，已有75處「文化景觀｣案例，其中又以「產業文化資產｣為主要成員。從已登錄的案例來看，多將重點擺在產業遺構本身，少與聚落結合，更少能凸顯「人類與自然的結合之作」。因觀念落差，造成「文化景觀｣經常與建築類文化資產，產生混淆的現象。因此，本研究以位於「七股鹽場｣中心位置的「頂山聚落｣為研究對象，採用「歷史地理研究法｣進行圖資爬梳，與田野實查及記錄；透過產業遺構與聚落結合，建置「歷史模型｣進行研究分析與成果撰寫，以符合「人類與自然的結合之作」觀念的實質案例。頂山庄民帶來的原鄉文化，形成祭祀「山神｣與「王爺｣的信仰，成為聚落的文化底蘊。在近290年的使用過程（生活）中，庄民面臨五大環境變化－「產業轉變｣、「外侮威脅｣、「洪水侵襲｣、「殖民政策｣與「人口增長｣，透過「技術力｣、「信仰力｣與「政治力｣的適應模式，傳承、轉換與協調這些變化，進而逐漸適應環境變遷。因此，「頂山庄｣是兼具天日晒鹽業、王爺信仰與區域中心等，多重樣態於一身的鹽村聚落，具有長久以來「自然與人為交互作用｣之成果，屬於「有機演變的地景｣中，「持續存在的地景｣的實質案例。</p> <p> </p><p>The Cultural Heritage Preservation Act (Taiwan) was amended in 2005 with the addition of new category of “cultural landscape.” Over the past decade, a total of 75 cases of “cultural landscapes” have been identified, and “industrial cultural heritages” have been the main members. Based on the observation of the registered cases, emphasis is mainly put on the industrial heritage itself and seldom put on the integration with settlement, revealing the lack of “combination of human beings and nature.” Due to the conceptual gap, “cultural landscape” is often confused with architectural cultural assets. Therefore, this study took the “Dingshan Settlement” located in the center of “Qigu Saltworks” as the research object and used the “historical geography research method” to investigate relevant information, perform field research, and record relevant data. Through the combination of industrial relics and settlement, this study established a “historical model” for research analysis and compilation of results, in order to conform to the substantive research case with the concept of “combination of human beings and nature.” The native culture of Dingshan Villagers formed the belief of offering sacrifices to “mountain gods” and “Wang Ye,” which became the cultural heritage of the settlement. During the nearly 290 years of use of saltworks (to make a living), the villagers faced five major environmental changes – “industrial transformation,” “threat of foreign aggression,” “flood invasion,” “colonial policy” and “population growth.” Through the adaptation model of “technical power,” “belief power” and “political power,” villagers inherited, transformed, and coordinated these changes, and then gradually adapted to environmental changes. As a result, “Dingshan Village” is a salt village settlement with multiple patterns, including sun-dried salt industry, Wang Ye belief and regional center. Besides, this Village is also featured by the long-term results of “interactions between nature and human beings” and belongs to the substantive case of “a continuing landscape” in “the organically evolved landscape.”</p> <p> </p>

Mitigating Climate Change Towards Livable City (Case: Bandung City, West Java)

The increase in environmental problems due to climate change means that people in big cities need to carry out mitigation by reducing carbon emissions in their residential areas to make city areas more livable. This research aims to explore various problems and impacts of climate change in the city of Bandung as well as mitigation efforts carried out by the community to reduce carbon emissions while creating a livable city. The research method is qualitative-descriptive with primary data collection through interviews and field observations. The research was conducted in 4 urban village settlement locations, namely Cibunut Kampong in Kebon Pisang sub-district, Antapani Tengah sub-district, Neglasari sub-district, and Cisaranten Kidul sub-district, Bandung City. The research results showed that there are several spatial and environmental problems in the effort to achieve a livable Bandung City. The climate change mitigation efforts that have been implemented by the community in their residential areas while creating a more livable city area are by adding and managing green open space, independent waste management, managing Buruan sae (Urban farming) programs and vertical gardens, creating bio pores and absorption wells, maintaining environmental cleanliness and establishing collaboration with various related institutions
