Mapping Earthquake Risk Sensitivity of Land Use Plan at Local Level for Sustainable Risk Sensitive Land Use Planning (RSLUP)

Risk-Sensitive Land Use Planning (RSLUP) is the process of mainstreaming disaster risk management parameters in land use planning. To ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of RSLUP, it is necessary to identify and understand the existing risk sensitivity of the land use plan. This research aims to develop a GIS-based multi-criteria zoning approach for mapping earthquake risk sensitivity of the land use plan of a local level area. For this purpose, Uttara Residential Model Town (URMT) (third phase), Dhaka, Bangladesh has been selected as the study area considering its earthquake risk for exposure to a potential earthquake. The methodology applied in this research is comprised of two steps. Firstly, assessment of the spatial earthquake risk sensitivity of the proposed land use plan of the study area based on the risk themes and corresponding risk attributes including both natural characteristics as well as built environment factors. They are macro-form risks (seismic hazard assessment), risks in urban texture (proximity from primary roads), special risk areas (geomorphic suitability and proximity from waterbody), open space scarcity risk, and risks in critical facilities (potential temporary disaster shelter and health facilities). Secondly, preparation of earthquake risk sensitivity zoning map by overlaying the spatial risk attribute maps based on weights determined through Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). This research brings out the importance and a methodology to assess risk sensitivity of the land use of an area at the local level, which can further foster sustainable RSLUP reflecting the risk sensitivity accordingly and effectively.

Peran Pemerintah Daerah Untuk Memberikan Izin Membangun Perumahan Diatas Tanah Pertanian Yang Subur

Abstrak. Pembangun perumahan diatas tanah pertanian yang sudah ditentukan oleh pengusaha perumahan harus mendapatkan izin. Izin dari pemerintah daerah sangat berperan dalam membangun perumahan bagi pengusaha perumahan yang harus mengajukan permohonan.Setelah pengusaha perumahan mendapatkan izin, maka pengusaha segera membebaskan hak yang terdapat diatas tanah dengan cara negoisasi atau musyawarah. Dalam hal ini pemerintah membentuk tim yang terdiri dari Dinas Pertanian, Dinas Perindustrian dan juga Kantor Pertanahan. Tim yang dibentuk pemerintah ini mempunyai tugas untuk menyelidiki keberadaan dan status tanah yang selanjutnya hasil dari tim tersebut untuk masukan bagi Bupati selaku Kepala Daerah untuk memberikan izin pembangunan bagi pengembang perumahan. Perubahan penggunaan tanah pertanian ke non pertanian memang diperbolehkan, akan tetapi diusahakan bukan pada tanah pertanian subur dan irigasi teknis sebagaimana yang diatur dalam Permendagri No. 5 Tahun 1974 pasal 7 ayat 3 huruf a . Diatur pula dalam Undang Undang Nomor 41 tahun 2009 tentang perlindungan lahan pertanian pangan berkelanjutan,dan pembangunan perumahan sesuai dengan ketentuan Rencana tata ruang wilayah dan tata guna tanah, Junto Perpres nomor 59 tahun 2019, tentang pengendalian alih fungsi sawah, harus disesuaikan dengan tata ruang dan tata guna tanah di daerah masing masing. Abstract. Residential builders on agricultural land that have been determined by the housing entrepreneur must obtain a permit. Permits from local governments play a very important role in building housing for housing entrepreneurs who must submit applications. In this case the government formed a team consisting of the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Industry and also the Land Office. The team formed by the government has the task of investigating the existence and status of the land, which then results from the team as input for the Regent as the Regional Head to provide development permits for housing developers. Changes in the use of agricultural land to non-agriculture are indeed allowed, but they are not cultivated on fertile agricultural land and technical irrigation as regulated in Permendagri No. 5 of 1974 article 7 paragraph 3 letter a. It is also regulated in Law Number 41 of 2009 concerning the protection of sustainable food agricultural land, and housing development in accordance with the provisions of the regional spatial planning and land use plan, Junto Perpres number 59 of 2019, concerning the control of the conversion of rice fields, must be adjusted to the spatial and land use in their respective areas

Analysis and Identification of Sustainable Public Policy for Management of Cultural and Natural Heritage in the Maya Region in Line with the Sustainable Development Goals

The present study identifies suitable sustainable public policy for the administration of archaeological zones in Mexico, particularly in the states of Yucatán, Campeche and Quintana Roo (Maya region). Given the rapid economic growth of the Southeastern region of Mexico, it is necessary to implement a comprehensive and sustainable form of administration for the cultural and archaeological heritage. Key components of the ideal policy are aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Data is based on researchers’ own experiences on how these SDGs can act as a base for the much needed change in the management of Mexico´s archaeological zones. We are looking at a policy that has clear goals, objectives, concrete strategies and actions including: (1) Comprehensive plan, (2) Regional plan, (3) Land use plan—master plan, (4) Cultural tourism plan which covers ecotourism and nature based tourism, art centers, museums and monuments. The resource management plan should cover aspects like: (1) disaster planning, (2) operations and marketing, (3) interpretation, (4) budgetary issues and (5) financing. Success in the implementation of such a policy requires the strengthening of regional and local federalism, transparency, accountability, corporate governance and planning for sustainable cultural tourism development.

Participatory land-use planning for strengthening the village land resources management: a case study of Gorontalo, Indonesia

Sustainable land management is crucial to ensure the availability of food, water, and clean air, especially to long-term support of human well-being and health. Continuous exploitation of land resources leads to land degradation and declines in agricultural productivity, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. This study aims to strengthen land resources management at the village level through a participatory land-use planning (PLUP) approach. The research location is at Moliliulo Village, Gorontalo. Current issues on land use and land management were collected using participatory rural appraisal (PRA) techniques. This information became a consideration in land use analysis conducted using a geographic information system (GIS). The approved future land use directions are about 88% forest (natural forest and agroforestry) and 12% non-forest (agriculture, coconut plantations, settlements, and water body). The land-use plan is essential for guiding the village government and the villagers on managing land resources. Additionally, it potentially strengthens the village development programs, social forestry management and resolves forest conflict. To ensure the implementation of land use planning, the village government should develop regulations on land use.

Exploring Passengers’ Dependency Variety on Stations’ Functions in Urban Subway

Urban subway is taken by people in different frequencies, thus leading them to present different dependency varieties on this mode. Yet, how those passengers who possess low dependency on urban subway travel is less investigated. Under this background, we propose a framework to uncover passengers’ dependency variety on stations’ functions in urban subway. To begin with, nine features regarding travel frequency and time are extracted from 100 million transaction records generated by 11.45 million passengers in a month. Thus, their travel dependency on urban subway is quantified. These features are clustered into 5 distinct levels via the k-means algorithm, before an inference of subway stations’ functions from 236,040 POI data sources via the LDA approach. In this way, passengers’ travel purposes can be identified. How passengers with different dependency levels behave in subway stations in space and time is further explored in a visualization way. The intuitive experimental results, validated by priori user experiences and land-use plan of Beijing, show that among the 5 levels of dependency varieties, passengers in the first two groups present a relatively strong dependency on urban subway. Meanwhile, passengers in the rest three groups possess a low dependency on urban subway and display extreme travel patterns in time and frequency, greatly increasing management difficulties for transit operators. Findings in this research help distinguish passengers with low levels of subway dependency and grasp how those passengers without striking dependency travel by subway and what for so that practitioners can conduct an accurate risk assessment on them.

Participación comunitaria y procesos de comunicación en la implementación de programas de reasentamiento de familias dentro del contexto del desarrollo urbano en Barranquilla (Colombia)

Planning processes of development and growth of the city of Barranquilla have required the relocation of the population living in areas of intervention actions. Under the current Land Use Plan of Barranquilla (POT) (1), the urban development project "La Loma" includes, among other activities, the transfer of a large number of people currently living in this area. For this reason, this article aims to review the current POT and other legal documents related to the Plan in order to identify and analyze the community participation component. The results of the documents revealed the presence of regulatory elements associated with community participation. The results also showed potentially useful spaces for the implementation of inclusive communication processes. Therefore, this article proposes a guide for the formulation of a strategic communication plan with a focus on participatory communication and dialogue facilitator to be used during the execution of urban projects that include the relocation of families.

Heritage responsive city development in India post pandemic: A case of walled city of Jaipur

Indian heritage cities have evolved and undergone various planning interventions both in terms of theory and practice. Although, many cities are practicing the Heritage Management concept, are still lacking behind conserving urban heritage assets and managing their urban fabric. The heritage cities like Delhi, Varanasi, Agra, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Jaipur, are either inscribed or trying to get inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site to preserve their heritage assets; where the implications and repercussions of WHS, be it economic or social are often not thought about. In this Research, the Walled city of Jaipur is selected as a case study – is a “UNESCO inscribed WHS” after Ahmedabad. These cities are under tremendous pressure from modern development. Perhaps, how a city should function dwindles because its capacity to cater to a particular percentage of the population exceeds. The heritage cities witness the terrific problems of COVID-19 Pandemic due to the densely packed urban environment and poor infrastructure facilities, insufficient health and sanitation facilities, civic sense, the attitude of people towards serving the urban situation rising the spread of the contagious diseases. Such conditions prevailing in cities might trigger the epidemics to take place in the coming future. With the need to recognize such issues and challenges, the research thus focuses on developing planning measures for conserving the Heritage precincts post-pandemic. The study addresses to bring the historic structures back to its citizen and local requirements, characterizing the heritage city with the revised land-use plan. Furthermore, the outcome of this research is to assess the socio-economic impacts of WHS and Tourism post-pandemic by determining the issues and the challenges, cost-benefits analysis associated with the urban heritage.

Strategies to Enhance Adherence to Participatory Village Land use Plans in Ulanga District in Tanzania

Land use plans have been considered as a solution to land use problems. Effectiveness of implementation of land use plan relies on a number of factors including strategies that are used to enhance adherence to the land use plan. For the study area, current and potential strategies to enhance adherence to land use plans had previously not been assessed. Thus this study assessed current and potential strategies used to enhance adherence to participatory village land use plans in Ulanga District, Tanzania. Data were collected through household survey of 120 respondents from two villages, key informants interviews, focus group discussions, field observation, review of guidelines for land use planning, village and use plans, district land use framework, books and journals. Information from household survey and village records were descriptively analysed to obtain frequencies and percentages. Information from key informants and focus groups was analysed by content analysis. Current strategies used included by-laws, boundary demarcation, zoning, community action plan, and conflict resolution. The current strategies were ineffectively implemented and enforced due to inadequate awareness, inadequate fines and penalties, funding limitations, weak governance and inefficient coordination and monitoring. Potential strategies that should be implemented include education, awareness raising, capacity building and benefit sharing.
