1. COMMUNITY RESILIENCE BUILDING
THROUGH RADICAL PLANNING
APPROACH IN KALI CODE
NEIGHBOURHOOD, YOGYAKARTA

2. The formal planning system in Indonesia relies on the Law No. 25 Year 2004, which encourages
comprehensive planning approach. It is not always result in an expected outcome since the interests of
marginalized groups are often being ignored. Conflicts and contradictions that emerge between the
government and society during the planning process are often unresolved. This paper examines another
type of planning model called radical planning approach which provides an alternative to solve them.

3. Marked as the beginning of
the people living along Kali
Code riverbank people who
live there was originally
migrants from outside
Yogyakarta, who come from
rural to urban to get a better
life.
 Y.B. Wangunwijaya or better known as Romo
Mangun, lived in squatters area along Kali
Code riverbank.
 Romo Mangun began to improve the quality
of life by creating TRIBINA, which consist of :
a. business coaching,
b. community building and
c. community development
 Kali Code settlement area
was hit by flood
 This tragedy was used as a
momentum for the
government to restore
the function of land in to
its original function, that
is a green belt area.

4. The government planned to evict Kali
Code settlement, because:
1) decrease the estetics of the city
2) it was deemed as the cause of
flooding
3) the settlement has no legal
status
 As response of the postponed
evictions, Wili Prasetya
immediately asked Romo
Mangun, an architect, to plan the
renewal of settlement area
 changing the littering behaviour
 redesigning settlement by
adapting socio-cultural aspect
 Initiating YPR (Yayasan Pondok
Rakyat)
Lead by Willy Prasetya, the
community refused the eviction by
negotiating with local governments
Yogyakarta. → the government agree
to postpone the eviction and gave
the community trial-time to improve
them self

5. After the plan was implemented , there had been changes in
settlement’s physical condition and social-economy condition.

6. Before Romo Mangun came, Kali Code was:
Socially Vulnerable:
Do not have special skills that
encourage them to work in the
informal sector even a few of them
work as a pickpocket or an
unemployement.
Lack of Basic Infrastructure:
House buildings are dominated by semi-
permanent material that made of cardboard
or burlap sacks without concerning the
circulation, lighting, and the fulfillment of
basic needs including sanitation and clean
water
Vulnerable to eviction:
The settlements illegally
stand on the riverbank and
susceptible to the threat of
eviction

7. The Adaptive Capacity
The community adaptive capacity was shown in their ability to accept and take
part on the planning process (TRIBINA by Romo Mangun)
The whole planning process can succeed because the community are willing to
accept and learn new things, building network and taking advantage of the
opportunity

8.  Socially Vulnerable
 Lack of basic infrastructure
 Vulnerable to eviction
Abillity to adapt and accept the
radical planning process
The community of Kali Code
Settlement has become resilience to
the past vulnerability

9.  Radical planning approach offers a way contrary to the concept of rational comprehensive planning
approach.
 This successful radical planning practice can not be separated from the assets owned by the
community of Kali Code riverbank who has an adaptive capacity to solve the problems. They can
organize themselves in order to fulfill their needs and become a community resilience.
 However, it is possible to find another assets that support the successful radical planning practice in
Kali Code riverbank settlement. Therefore, more research is needed to look for other factors that
support the successful of radical planning practice.
