Collaborative Planning on Cross-Border Service of Water Supply in Surakarta Urban Border Area, Indonesia
<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">Recently, many planners apply collaborative planning theory in planning involving two or <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">more parties, such as between government, private and community, including in the interregion cooperation. However, the theory has rarely been used to explain the interaction <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">between regions in city border area, especially in the cases in Indonesia. This article <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">discusses the case of cross-border service of water supply of the Local Water Company <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">(PDAM-Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum) of Surakarta City into the urban border area of <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">Sukoharjo Regency, based on collaborative planning theory. This article is written based on <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">results of the research on the case using case study research method. The discussion <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">concludes that the approach of collaborative planning theory used on the case is <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">cooperative-accommodation approach. It is because PDAM of Surakarta City accommodate <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">the cross-border region service as a reciprocal policy, as most of their water inputs come <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">from their neighboring regions. In general, such an approach is in accordance with the need <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">of the interacting regions, which one region needs supporting service to meet the need of<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"> their communities in water service, and another can fulfill the need based on its capacity. In <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">this case, the concerned technical agencies, PDAM of every region interact each other <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">directly in providing the service. The important thing, the interaction is in line with the <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">prevailing cross-border region bureaucratic regulations and does not infringe the autonomy <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;">of every region.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" /></span>
