City Development

The current trend in urban planning has been evolved for developing the cities smart. Smart city concept directs urban development in to a strategic path to achieve sustainability in urban development. The understanding made up on the concept of smart city within any region would be fruitful to review in this nature. Similarly, the various stakeholders who would influence and contribute on smart city development projects are profound to identify in order to make the project success. As previous researches denoted, a timely and effective consultation of relevant stakeholders is of paramount importance for the success of any project. In line of thinking, this research was aimed to conduct a stakeholder analysis through a comprehensive literature review. Thirty one (31) key literature projects were obtained from recognised research databases and were critically reviewed to identify the internal and external project stakeholders of smart city development projects. As the key findings, the concept of smart city was first recognised. Secondly, academia and research institutions, local and regional administrations, financial suppliers/investors, energy suppliers, ICT sector representatives, citizens, government, property developers, non-profit organisations, planners, policy makers, experts and scientists, political institutions and media were identified as key internal and external stakeholders of a smart city development project. The key research findings were presented through a conceptual framework. The developed framework could be utilised as a basis to analyse the different influences and contributions of stakeholders of smart city development projects in any context.

Comprehensive Literature Search

Scoping includes the establishment of unambiguous spatial boundaries for a proposed development project (e.g., a treaty) and is especially important with respect to development on Indigenous homelands. Improper scoping leads to a flawed product, such as a flawed treaty or environmental impact assessment, by excluding stakeholders from the process. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to gather (and collate) printed and online material in relation to Treaty No. 9 and its Adhesions, as well as the Line-AB. We searched academic databases as well as the Library and Archives Canada. The examination of Treaty No. 9 and its Adhesions revealed that there is unceded land in each of four separate scenarios, which are related to the Line-AB and/or emergent land in Northern Ontario, Canada. Lastly, we present lessons learned from our case study. However, since each development initiative and each Indigenous Nation is unique, these suggestions should be taken as a bare minimum or starting point for the scoping process in relation to development projects on Indigenous homelands.

A fejlesztéspolitikában ma a „smart” címkével minden vonzóbb, eladhatóbb, a kifejezés sokszor a ’környezetbarát’ vagy ’fenntartható’ szinonimájaként is használatos. A városfejlesztésben az utóbbi idők egyik legfelkapottabb paradigmája, globális szintű versengést indítva mind a városok, mind az érdekelt vállalatok között a kölcsönösen hasznosnak vélt előnyök reményében. A szerzők egyrészt annak jártak utána, miért éppen most virágzott fel a smart city mint fejlesztési paradigma, és milyen tényezők indukálták gyors előretörését. Másrészt a nemzetközi példák bemutatásán keresztül arra a kérdésre keresik a választ, milyen társadalmi hatásokkal járnak ezek a fejlesztések, milyen kihívásokkal kell szembenézni a smart city fejlesztések kapcsán, és vajon a jövőben a fejlesztési szereplők képesek lesznek-e tanulni hibáikból, és tudatosan tervezni a hatások összességével. --- Do smart cities intensify social exclusion? In development policy everything seems to be more attractive and marketable when labelled ‘smart’; the expression is often used even as a synonym for ‘environmentally-friendly’ or ‘sustainable’. Considering urban development projects, smart city development is one of the most popular paradigms, triggering global competition between cities as well as the interested companies, both expecting mutual benefits from the co-operation. The article, on the one hand, tries to reveal, why the smart city paradigm has now started to thrive, and what factors played a part in its rapid development. On the other hand, through the presentation of international practices, the authors intend to answer what social impacts these developments have had, what challenges have the smart city developments met, and whether in the future the actors could learn from their mistakes and consciously take into account the complexity of impacts.

ABSTRAK Salah satu tujuan yang ingin dicapai melalui program dan proyek-proyek pembangunan pemerintah adalah tumbuhnya partisipasi aktif masyarakat dalam proses perencanaan dan penerapan proyek-proyek pembangunan. Gagasan ini didasarkan pada konsep bahwa melalui proses partisipasi, masyarakat akan memahami nilai, tujuan dan manfaat proyek-proyek pembangunan tersebut bagi dirinya sehingga pada saat proyek diterapkan akan mentransformasi kehidupan masyarakat menuju kesebuah kehidupan yang lebih maju dan mapan. Dengan demikian, proyek pembangunan tersebut memberikan dampak yang signifikan bagi kemajuan masyarakat tersebut. Namun realitas di lapangan jauh berbeda masyarakat cenderung pasif dan tidak terlibat dalam proyek pembangunan. Pada umumnya para perencana dan pelaksana pembangunan melihat bahwa penyebab dari kepasifan ini terletak di dalam masyarakat itu sendiri yaitu pada nilai, budaya, tingkat pendidikan. Terkait dengan masalah kepasifan masyarakat ini, Penulis mengajukan argumen bahwa tatanan manajemen birokrasi proyek pembangunan itu sendiri adalah salah satu penghambat per- tumbuhan partisipasi masyarakat. Sistem pengawasan yang ketat, keterikatan irama kerja pada periode anggaran serta kontradiksi-kontradiksi dalam proses pengambilan keputusan antara pucuk pimpinan dengan para pelaksana di lapangan. Seluruh faktor-faktor ini membuat birokrasi proyek pembangunan menjadi tidak sensitif pada pertumbuhan aspirasi masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi. Untuk mengatasi problema manajemen ini perlu dibangun sebuah mekanisme informasi di luar birokrasi dan dalam hal ini Model Tindak Manusia (Human Action Model) seperti yang telah diujicobakan oleh PSLH-ITB di Ciamis dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai alternatif untuk diterapkan dalam implementasi proyek-proyek pembangunan sehingga dapat menjembatani kelemahan manajemen birokrasi pembangunan tersebut. ABSTRACT One of the objectives to be achieved through development programs and projects is the growth of community participation in the planning and the implementation process of development projects, which is based upon the ideas that through participation the communities would accept the ideals and understand the benefit of the project. Thus in turn, the project will be supported and transform the communities towards a more develop one. However, the reality is far different, people tend to be passive and not involved in the development process; hence, the development planners and managers see the cause of the passivity lies in the community itself, whether it's cultural values, education level, etc. The author argues one of the causes of the lack of participation of the community lies in the bureaucratic structure of the project management itself. Strict monitoring system, the attachment of working rhythms to the budget period of time and the existence of two levels of decision making between the chief executive and the project managers. These factors make the bureaucracy of the development project insensitive to the growing aspirations of the community to participate. In the closing part, the author proposes the Human Action Model as has been tested by PSLH-ITB in Ciamis as an alternative to be applied in the implementation of development projects to bridge the weaknesses of the development project management.

Some cities in Indonesia have a long history of city development, in East Java, for example the cities of Surabaya, Malang, Blitar, Kediri and Pasuruan are cities that have a history of urban development that still maintains the identity of the city. old buildings or colonial buildings, these buildings can still be suspected through the characteristics of building shapes and the use of ornaments that are characterized by European buildings. For this European building to be preserved, it is necessary to conduct a feasibility study of the aesthetic value contained in the building. The case study taken in writing this article is the Pancasila Building in the city of Pasuruan. The method used is descriptive analysis topically. To support the discussion in this article, field observations and literature studies were conducted. The findings in this study were to determine the physical identity of the building and the meaning of building ornaments.

Growing Population

Waste Management can be quite challenging, especially in the developing world. The challenge becomes even more complex with the growing population. City planners and decision makers are turning to technology to improve the efficiency of the waste management process. Geospatial technologies have offered a range of solutions, which have been deployed with success in waste management. This paper highlights the challenges of waste management in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and how the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) deployed the use of GIS in solving most of the challenges of identification, planning, evacuation, and transportation of wastes within the Port Harcourt metropolis. This paper looked at how this solution was deployed to solve key challenges as well as stimulate citizen participation in the waste management process. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations for expanding the potentials of its application.
