The amount of costs that must be paid by candidates for regional heads and candidates for deputy regional heads during regional head elections is suspected to be the cause of many of them being involved in corruption cases. This condition is compounded by the government's neglect of building a transparent and accountable system. There is a relationship between high election costs and corruption involving regional heads and deputy regional heads. So, when elected and in power, they tend to try to return the capital that has been used to win the Pilkada, either by buying voters' votes, providing basic necessities, and paying money to their success team. This caused the regional head to be arrested by the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi).

One of these r...

The politics of spatial planning in the city of Surabaya is still far from the spirit of spatial planning as formulated in Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning, especially paragraph 5 of Article 28, which states that urban spatial planning includes; (a) plans for the provision and utilization of green open space; (b) plan for the provision and utilization of non-green open space; and (c) plans for the provision and utilization of infrastructure and facilities for pedestrian networks, public transportation, informal sector activities, and disaster evacuation rooms, which are needed to carry out the function of the city area as a center for socio-economic services and a center for regional growth. That means, spatial planning has not been fully oriented to the interests of sustainable development. Courtesy of Freepick.com There are problems faced by stakeholders in an area/region.

Measuring the welfare level of a country only relying on statistical data from per capita income or Gross National Product (GNP) is a step that is often done. However, these data have never been correlated with data on environmental damage, for example, or data on the health level of residents at a certain age (Priemus, 1999: 219). In fact, if we examine the statement in the previous paragraph, high economic activity will also produce high waste material, which in the end leads to great pressure on the environment and has a negative impact on organisms that inhabit the environment. The bad impact can be in the form of health problems on the human body, the personal implication is that it interferes with work productivity as well as high costs for health care. Meanwhile, the political implication is that the government will be under high budget pressure to finance health services for its citizens.

The paradigm of development at the beginning of the millennium can be said to have changed, one of the factors that influenced this shift was the issue of global warming at the end of the decade of the 90s. The issue of global warming itself raises the facts of the destruction of the ecological balance caused by rapid industrialization in almost all corners of the earth. Industrialization in first world countries contributes the highest carbon emissions, while in third world countries they are often blamed for their contribution to clearing tropical forests. Courtesy of Freepick.com  The implementation of the concept of sustainable development is not limited to the big plans of national development, 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...

The green city as a concept for realizing green open space in Surabaya is expected to be able to create a balance of land use for development in the economic, socio-political, cultural and environmental fields to achieve the goal of establishing green open space in living in Surabaya. The current area of ​​green open space in Surabaya according to data from the Surabaya City Cleanliness and Parks Service (DKP) is in reality only 3,000 hectares compared to the area of ​​the built area, which is still not sufficient for Surabaya, which is 326 thousand hectares. Based on the East Java RTRWP 2005 – 2020, the green open space in Surabaya should have an area of ​​about 6,500 hectares including urban forest.

Successively, the green open space covers an urban forest area in Surabaya, in Lakarsantri covering an area of ​​8 hectares, the Wonorejo Nu...

 There is a serious problem in the distribution of space allocation in the city of Surabaya. The distribution and disparity of Surabaya's urban space is the result of the struggle of the various elements that make up the city of Surabaya in the 1900-1960s. The struggle for space that occurred at that time was caused by the relationship between the poor and the state and private entrepreneurs who faced each other in accessing urban space. The poor who are actually also part of the state entity in every historical period have to deal directly with the state and private entrepreneurs for the same interest, namely the control of urban space. Courtesy of Freepick.com Collusion between the state and private entrepreneurs during the colonial period showed a repressive face in order to exploit resources to the fullest. The poor are the direct victims of this system. Poor people are reproduced continuously and are positioned in non-strategic places such as factory workers, shop assistants, ...

Women’s role as peace promoters and their contribution to inventing peace and post-conflict reconstruction need to be developed. Although this is a big challenge because in everyday life, the role of women as the closest promoters of peace at the grassroots level still encounters many obstacles (structural and cultural). Generally, society and families are influenced by the socio-cultural (traditional) position of women prevailing in certain areas. Courtesy of Freepick.com Women’s role as mother, wife, sister and daughter help to rebuild social networks, revive the local economy, spread the nation's cultural heritage and promote family values that place the values of peace above all else. The potential to influence their husbands or male relatives to seek a more peaceful solution to the conflict should not be underestimated. Therefore, women need to be called for and involved in formulating peace and resolving occurring social conflicts. Women are not only victims and vulnerable, b...
