Bina Warga . Goal 1. Shared Vision for All Having common vision for Kampung Braga development is one of the foremost step to undertake for the improvement. Without shared vision, the development will become a business-as-usual. A wide range of participants is needed to ensure the vision is for all. More importantly, everybody are willing to work as one community towards the vision. 1.1 Review Current Policy Framework To develop shared vision for Kampung Braga, tracing what the local, regional, and national government have envisioned is needed. It aims to ensure that the vision parallels to City of Bandung. Moreover, policy analysis is useful to find the loophole and challenge the current strategies. Local government from City of Bandung must present during the development of shared vision, thus the process could close the loophole that the local policy framework lacks of. 1.2 Advocate the Residents for Community Profiling Currently, the demographic data in Kampung Braga is absent. However, based on the Head of RW, the data is kept in kelurahan which is located far from the kampung. Each RW is advocated to have community profile stored digitally in RW office. This community profile is useful to select the relevant target or participants for the development. The residents led by RT and RW is suggested to conduct the demographic survey to be more accurate. The profile is to be updated regularly based on the decision from the community.

1.3 Identify the Participants for Shared Vision Development The most important thing to develop shared vision is by meeting the needs of the residents, the assets of the kampung, and the issues they are experiencing. Shared vision must ensure every layer of the community gets represented. Not just the residents, other stakeholders also are helpful to provide other perspective. Parallel to Bina Braga vision, the input from other stakeholders could create better integration between Kampung Braga and its surrounding. The potential stakeholders are, but not limited to: residents from different ages, genders, backgrounds, occupations, and ethnicities; local government; traders and workers in Banceuy Street and Braga Street; and tourists. 1.4 Articulate Vision Ideas Multiple approaches should be taken in community participation to collect more aspiration. VAGO (2015) develops five stages of participation: inform, consult, involve, collaborate, and empower. The strongest stage is empower, which lets the residents lead the implementation. There are several approaches of inclusive participation such as workshop, public meeting, questionnaires, personal interview, and strategies for children and elder group. 1.5 Create Consensus for Shared Vision After the community participation, the vision is created. The common vision for Kampung Braga could be incorporated in local policy framework.
