This document discusses urban development management in the Riau Islands and provides context on coastal cities. It notes that while people settle near coasts to take advantage of resources, rapid coastal development detaches cities from their environments. The document then outlines characteristics of coastal cities, problems facing coastal zones, and the need to better integrate coastal management and urban planning. It proposes best practices for coastal cities that balance environmental protection, efficient land use, and maintaining natural geography. The document also discusses urban development policies in Indonesia.

2. People have settled on coasts to take advantage of
the amenities the oceans, such as;
1. a food supply,
2. a source of transport,
3. a defensible position, and
4. a healthy location.
BACKGROUND

3. However, as coastal cities grow, they become
detached from their environmental surroundings,
while still requiring services from their local
ecosystem.
Today, it is estimated that almost 50 per cent of the
world’s coasts are threatened by development-
related activities.
COASTAL ZONE PROBLEMS

4. Municipal, industrial and agricultural wastes and
run-off, as well as atmospheric deposition, affect
the most productive areas of the marine
environment, including estuaries and near-shore
coastal waters.
Physical alterations to the coastal zone also threaten
the marine environment.
COASTAL ZONE PROBLEMS

5. 1. Tourist services
2. A street pattern related to the landform and the
surrounding natural features
3. A direct relationship to the foreshore and a wide
choice of uses associated with the coastal edge
4. An extensive range of edge conditions, such as
parks, beaches and waterfront promenades
5. A range of smaller suburbs and suburban centers
surrounding the city centre
6. A full range of residential building types
7. A full range of building heights from low scale to
tall
COASTAL CITIES CHARACTERISTICS

6. Coastal management and urban planning seem to act in
different contexts without a common ground for an
integrated perspective of coastal cities.
In particular, urban planning often ignores
environmental issues that characterize a coastal
ecosystem, creating land use conflicts and
environmental aggravations.
COASTAL MANAGEMENT AND URBAN
PLANNING

7. HAVE TO AVOID
1. Destroying the quality of coastal resources that
offer the city its distinct characteristics
2. Impacts on water quality
3. Decrease of opportunities for new urban
infrastructure
4. Degraded public spaces
5. Privatization of open spaces and foreshores
6. Lack of planning integration
GOOD COASTAL CITIES

8. 1. The complexity of the activities that constitute a
coastal city coming from the hinterland, creating
(most often) conflicts and influencing their economy
in a local and supra local level
2. The planning issues of coastal cities that involve a
more integrated approach between urban planning
and environmental management (coastal
management)
THE COMPLEXITIES

9. 1. Protecting the most attractive quality elements
of a coastal city
2. Optimizing the efficient land use to minimize
impacts on the surrounding urban and natural
environment
3. Maintaining the natural geography of the coast
4. Maintaining the coast in connection to the
inland (perhaps the city centre)-(best access to
the coast, quality of streets etc.)
5. Protecting coastal waters through modern
ecological methods
THE BEST PRACTICES
(UNEP-SCP)

10. 6. Providing sustainable transport systems
7. Regulations governing the industrial, municipal
and agricultural pollution
8. Preserving the historic and cultural resources
through the process of waterfront/urban
regeneration
9. Planning for the waterfront considering it as a
part of a coastal (eco)system
10.Optimizing coastal cities as a separate entity of
the region that requires a more complex
approach, including environmental policies
/aspects.
THE BEST PRACTICES

11. 1. ECONOMIC Growth?
2. Sustainable ENVIRONMENT?
3. Priority Setting among THEM
4. Urban Planning as ZERO SUM GAME
5. Urban Planning COSTLY
