Abstract. Indonesia, a developing country, has launched a program with a target of 0% slum in urban areas by 2020. It has been more than ten years since this program for handling urban slums has made many improvements. One aspect of the parameter that becomes an improvement in handling urban slum areas is the improvement of uninhabitable houses. This study investigates how the quality of urban slum settlements can be improved in the aspect of houses that are not habitable, especially in terms of determining the recipient of rehabilitation assistance for houses that are unhabitable in urban areas. This study used a qualitative methodology and analysis of the literature review in 21 scientific papers on selecting houses that are not habitable assistance and related regulations. The result is that there are two processes in determining Receivers of Support for Rehabilitation "The Houses Unhabitable", first through the aspects of the criteria for houses unhabitable which are technical in the field, and selection techniques that are more academic in nature. Aspects of the criteria for houses unhabitable provide an assessment of the area and buildings. whereas the selection technique requires a selection technique capable of managing data that has many criteria.

Basic Approaches

Despite an estimated one billion people around the world living in slums, most surveys of health and well-being do not distinguish between slum and non-slum urban residents. Identifying people who live in slums is important for research purposes and also to enable policymakers, programme managers, donors and non-governmental organisations to better target investments and services to areas of greatest deprivation. However, there is no consensus on what a slum is let alone how slums can be distinguished from non-slum urban precincts. Nor has attention been given to a more fine-grained classification of urban spaces that might go beyond a simple slum/non-slum dichotomy. The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework to help tackle the related issues of slum definition and classification of the urban landscape. We discuss:The concept of space as an epidemiological variable that results in ‘neighbourhood effects’.The problems of slum area definition when there is no ‘gold standard’.A long-list of variables from which a selection must be made in defining or classifying urban slum spaces.Methods to combine any set of identified variables in an operational slum area definition.Two basic approaches to spatial slum area definitions—top-down (starting with a predefined area which is then classified according to features present in that area) and bottom-up (defining the areal unit based on its features).Different requirements of a slum area definition according to its intended use.Implications for research and future development.

Cvd Risk

In urban India, about 35-40% of all adults have hypertension and about 10-15% have diabetes mellitus. National Program for Prevention and Control of Diabetes, Cancer and Stroke (NPCDCS) launched by Government of India has envisaged to screen all adults aged 30 years and above for presence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the community through population-based screening, initiate positively screened and diagnosed on drug therapy, and follow them up for treatment adherence. In this context, the current study aims to estimate burden of high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and to evaluate feasibility of community health workers-based strategies in reducing CVD among adults living in urban slums. We have identified and trained CHWs from within the urban slum communities in Bhopal, in chronic disease identification, skills in self-care and adherence promotion skills. At-risk individuals were linked to public health facilities as outlined under NPCDCS. Primary outcome is assessment of burden of high cardiovascular risk and its determinants. Secondary outcome is feasibility of community health worker-based adherence promotion. Between November 2017 and June 2018, CHWs in 14 urban slum clusters, screened a total of 6178 individuals out of which 4781 (77.43%) attended confirmation camp. Around 2393 (38.8%) were current tobacco users (smoking and/or smokeless), and 4697 (76.1%) has a sedentary lifestyle. Out of 758 (12.3%) known hypertensives, 354 (46.7%) had controlled hypertension whereas out of 333 (5.4%) known diabetes patients, 169 (57.5%) has controlled level of diabetes. In 813 (15%) out of 5416 and 151 (3.4%) out of 4486 adults, hypertension and diabetes was newly detected respectively. Results of this study have a potential to strengthen NPCDCS across all urban areas of the country. This manuscript describes detailed protocol of the study and presents baseline summary of CVD risk factor burden in urban slums of Bhopal.

Aims and Objectives: To compare the oral hygiene practices and study the proportion of dental problems among urban and urban slum areas. Methodology: An observational, cross sectional study was carried out in 150 people in urban and urban slum areas. The study duration was four months (June 2015 to September 2015). The data was collected in a pre-designed proforma. The knowledge of the community was considered with regards to oral hygiene and harmful effects of bad food habits and tobacco consumption. The oral problems and hygiene was assessed by using mouth mirror and probe. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 24.0 Software. Results: Out of the total data collected, 75 of the data entries were obtained from urban area and urban slum area each. The age wise distribution was done as well in both the areas. Among them, most common age group was 20-45 years (50.7% in urban while 48.0% in urban slum) followed by 10-19 years, 46-60 years, 1-9 years and 60and above age group. The common symptoms observed like broken teeth (28%), gingivitis (13.30%), caries (21.10%) etc. were more in urban as compared to urban slum areas. Most common brushing practice was using paste (90%) followed by powder (10%) and salt (1%). More number of people in urban area (28%) consumes carbonated drinks as compared to urban slum (6.7%) (P value = 0.001). The proportion of sensitive teeth was more in urban (36%) as compared to urban slum (26.7%) (P value = 0.126). Most of the people in urban as well as urban slum area (97.3%) change their brush within 15 days-3 months. Conclusion: The proportion of gingivitis, dental illness, grinding teeth, sensitive teeth are more commonly seen in urban areas as compared to that of the urban slums. However, the proportion of bleeding gums, awareness regarding dental problems, frequency of brushing teeth and pattern of brushing were almost similar in both of the areas.

Background: Quality of life studies help us to develop models that tend to improve the overall health status of the patients. The objective was to study effect of diabetes mellitus on quality of life of diabetic adult patients in an urban slum area. Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out among 64 eligible known cases of diabetes for a period of three months. For recording questions related to quality of life, questionnaire which was validated was used. The data was expressed as mean and standard deviation. Results: The overall quality of life (role limitation due to physical health) was not much affected as the average scores are above 3.5 which indicates “better quality of life”. The quality of life for heavy activities was slightly affected due to diabetes. But the patients were able to do the mild activities compared to heavy physical activities. Diabetes has affected their quality of life. But in terms of fatigue it has not been much affected. Overall the mean of this symptom related quality of life, was better. This may be due to good glycemic control. Comparatively frequent urination bothered the diabetic patients. Conclusions: Diabetes has some impact on the quality of life of patients as seen from the study.

Urbanization and development of cities are rapidly increasing across the world and urban forests constitute important tools that maintain the basic environmental and ecological functions of cities on which plant, animal and human existence depend. This paper presents a literature review on importance, utilization and health of urban forests that are important in providing ecosystem services for the sustainability of cities. Analysis of the literature from the main academic resources databases indicates that urban forest is a dynamic system which includes trees, shrubs, green space, soil and water that supports them. Urban forests provide many functions, services and benefits which are needed for the sustainable development of urban areas. In addition, health and appearance of trees’ composition are the most important factors in determining a city’s visual image and quality of life. Thus, urban forests are an important component of an ecosystem in any community development. Furthermore, management of urban forests can increase their potentials and therefore their functions, services and benefits. Green infrastructure and ecosystem services are the most efficient tools that cities can utilise to remain healthy, robust and liveable. Hence, the planners, architects, engineers, foresters, agriculturists and all those involved in decision making should be utilized the present literature review and incorporate the concept of urban forest in their  plans and programs so as to achieve the sustainability of cities.

Abstract This study aims to reflect on urban slums planning and management through the lens of complexity theory by utilizing Indonesia as a case. This study employs a literature review to explore several problems and provide solutions as implemented in the Indonesian urban slums. The two key reflections were underlined. First, the given spatial solutions generate more complexity by its various type of programs and managements. Second, the root cause of the slums is poverty, despite unachieved by the given non-spatial solutions. This study suggests to refashion the planning approach in dealing with the slums problem to achieve SDGs particularly point 1 and 11, while adjusted to adapt with the COVID-19 situation.

Slum Areas

The development of slums in urban areas is inseparable of the increases in population and population activity. In addition, undirected and unplanned development also supports the degradation of the quality of residential environment. One area that is included in the slum area is located in Tanah Datar Sub-District. The residential area of Tanah Datar Sub-District is right in the heart of Pekanbaru city. Thus, living conditions and the welfare of the people who live in these settlements greatly affect the face of a city. The characteristics and conditions of slums in each region is different. Thus, this study aims to identify the condition of a residential area in order to determine alternatives to handling slum areas appropriately. The method used  is exploratory descriptive of phenomena and facts relating to the condition of the community and the environment of slum areas based on real facts, expert opinion and the criteria of the Minister of PUPR Regulation Number 14/PRT/M/2018. The results showed that in achieving the goal of handling slum areas, the priority of government policy and budget allocation alignments be the most important factor. Then, strengthen government collaboration with relevant stakeholders and  handling based on the priority scale required by the residential area.
