Shifting the Function of Land and Space in Surabaya-East Java, Indonesia

Shifting the Function of Land and Space in Surabaya-East Java, Indonesia


The development paradigm at the beginning of this millennium can be said to have changed, one of the factors that influenced this shift was the issue of global warming in the late 90's. The issue of global warming itself raises the facts of destroying the ecological balance caused by the rapid industrialization that exists in almost all corners of the earth. Industrialization in the world's first countries produces the highest carbon emissions, while in third countries they are often blamed for their contribution to the depletion of tropical forests.

The implementation of the concept of sustainable development is not limited to large national development plans, but can be applied on a smaller scale such as sustainable city design, or even sustainable home design. Sustainable development has a goal to create a balance of three elements, namely the ecological, social, and economic environment, or in the context of spatial language often referred to as, ecological space, economic space, and social space. Referring to the goal of sustainability, this paradigm explicitly requires interaction between the three spaces.

The interaction between these three spaces has implications for the interaction between stakeholders which is facilitated by a legitimate political institution (government) is the focus subject in political science. So that urban planning needs to involve planning experts, the private sector (economy), government, and also the community. By meeting these stakeholders, it is hoped that they will be able to make plans that are productive, comfortable to live in, and make cities inclusive.

Imagining the landscape of a city is a picture that pops into our heads is the arrangement of infrastructure that supports human activities, from asphalt roads, flyovers, buildings, houses, and everything is arranged in a flat plane. If we look at the landscapes of a city as I stated, then we can consciously or unconsciously erase the fact that it is impossible to find data on this earth. It has become a natural ecological landscape of the earth that is contoured according to the evolution that occurs in the earth's landscape. In other words, the landscape of a city is the result of engineering (ecological engineering) of the ecological landscape which is done totally by humans, in order to get a comfortable dwelling for them.

The sustainable development paradigm is entirely the concept of environmental engineering development, because this paradigm by carrying out ecological engineering will have a direct impact on human development itself. Great pressure on the environment such as air pollution, industrial waste, consumption waste, polluted water, exploitation of ground water, etc., ultimately causes a series of bad impacts. Adverse effects on the environment have a chain impact on the organisms that inhabit, including humans. This chain impact can be felt through the enjoyment of biodiversity, health problems, and well-being.
