Introduction

Cikapundung Kampung: Indroduction Cikapundung Kampung is situated along the Cikapundung River to the west of the ITB University Campus.

The Cikapundung Kampung is rich with positive qualities and spatial experiences. mixed programs, dynamic density, mixture of diverse income classes, community and capacity for changes. The Kampung includes elements which could qualify them as lively and successful neighbourhoods with positive urban design qualities.

Built Form

Morphological Analysis: Built Form The Kampung’s built form is the physical manifestation of social and economic conditions. Organically gown over time, its spatial form exists in between the formal dutch city structure.

Whilst this map reveals the building footprints at ground level we found that these were often subdivided another two, three or even four times. The wide eaves of most houses and the connection of dwellings over pathways creates a condition where light does not always penetrate through to the ground. Due to this as well as the transient nature of the settlement, the white space shown on this nolli plan is not an accurate depiction of the open space that is available.

Land Use

Morphological Analysis: Land Use The Cikapundung kampung is a vibrant community, containing a large mix of uses.

The following map shows the location of different uses within the Kampung. The data reveals that the majority of the Kampung is residential, with most of the commercial uses being both shop and dwelling. Most of the warungs/shops exist along the major roads and routes through the Kampung.

Community buildings and Masjids are usually built along these major routes also.

It is rare to see a mosque typology at the end of a narrow laneway in the middle of the Kampung.

Warung: ‘Shary Juice’

Educational buildings exist in both north and south parts of the Kampung and are often adjacent to major roads and routes.

Street Hierarchies

Morphological Analysis: Street Hierachies We have identified four typical street typologies across the Kampung: Primary Roads, Secondary Road, Local Roads and Alleys.

Typically the larger more frequently used roads exist around the perimeter of the kampung. The further from the edges the more narrow the roads become.

Primary roads Jalan Cihamplas and Jalan Taman Sari are linked with secondary road Jalan Pelerisan.

Ecological

Morphological Analysis: Ecology The Cikapundung kampung does severly lack public green space, however there are a number of mature trees and potted plants scattered throughout the Kampung.

Mayor Ridwan Kamil has also designed a program of Kampung agriculture and greening which can be seen in the image shown below.

Urban Informality: A Typological Analysis

Before arriving into Indonesia our initial perceptions of informality were largely based on development processes and the dichotomy between formal and informal building typologies.

Witnessing the culture first hand, we have discovered that informality in Indonesia is in fact a complex relationship between an activity and the prevailing laws and regulations of the government. There is no single conceptualisation of informality, rather a phenomenon spanning a multitude of different social processes and sectors.

During our two weeks of intensive fieldwork and study of the Cikapundung Kampung, we discovered the many levels and layers of urban informality. Ascending in scale, the following section explains a few of these typologies in detail.

Informal Typologies

Informal Typology: Street Hawker & SemiMobile Food Vendor

In Indonesia Street Vendors or Hawkers are termed Pedagang Kaki Lima (PKL). It is a term derived from an old Dutch rule on the provision of pavement/sidewalk in front of shops to ensure safe and convenient space for pedestrian traffic.

Informal Typologies

Informal Typology: Mobile Vendor & Vendor Push Cart

Fully Mobile ‘Tanggu’ Vendor: This typology is relatively common throughout the kampung and surrounding streets for its portability. Selling a variety of traditional Indonesian dishes (in this case Baso Cuanki), all of the ingredients, water and cooking utensils are stored within the metal compartments.

These compartments are caried over the shoulder with a flexible bamboo balance pole.

Vendor Push Cart: This typology is the most commonly found of the street vending vehicles throughout the Kampung and Bandung city. These carts are mobile but are often taken to the same location each day and are stored somewhere nearby overnight.

Informal Typologies

Informal Typology: Vendor Vehicles

Vendor Cart: This typology was used to sell non-edible goods and products such as trophies, stamps, books, etc. This typology is less common throughout the Kampung and more prominent around tourist attractions and public spaces.

Vendor Car/Food Truck Typology: This vendor car/food truck typology was less common within the Kampung. The truck was self-built by the owner of the business and was managed by a group of young men. They were selling Tahu Goreng.

Informal Typologies

Informal Typology: Water Tower

These elevated structures are found scattered throughout the kampung. They are typically used for the collection and distribution of potable water.

Water tanks are also found on the rooftops of dwellings, above communal facilities and within double storey dwellings.

This water tower is marked with an RW 08 sign. Each RW will have their own selfmanaged water tower or water collection system that is available to the residents of that sector.

This water tower serviced a number of houses along the main street through the Kampung via an underground pipe system.

Typology: Shop House

Commercial functions within the Cikapundung Kampung occur in the form of retail shops or Warungs, which are usually attached to a house.

This ‘shop-house’ is a common typology within the Cikapundung Kampung and contributes to the thriving micro economy within the settlement.

These shop houses or ‘Warungs’ are predominantly run by the residents of the houses above or behind, usually providing a secondary source of income for the residents.

Informal Typologies

Typology: Formal House

The ‘Formal House’ also exists within the informal urban fabric of the Cikapundung Kampung.

Dutch in its architectural style, these houses are typically owned by middle class citizens.

This particular house shown right is part of a gated estate in the centre of the Kampung located on Jalan Taman Pelesiran.

Informal Typologies

Building Typology: Mosque - Masjid

With most of the population of Cikapundung being of Islamic faith, the Mosque or Masjid is an integral building typology within the Kampung.

Each RW has their own Masjid and could have up to four or five. Self managed and built by members of the community, these building typologies are often located next to existing public spaces and streets within the settlements.

Buildings such as these are often built by the community as a team or produced by means of Gotong Royong or reciprocity. Gotong Royong refers to traditional activities in the village where people are voluntarily helping eachother for various occasions, such for festivals or for sport. These activities are part of the maintanence of kerukunan or social harmony. (Harjoko, 2010).

Informal Typologies

Building Typology: Community Building & Kindergarten

This typology is rare within the Cikapundung Kampung as land aquisition has lead to most public spaces and buildings being used for residential purposes only. This building is situated adjacent to a communal public space used for events such as weddings, independence day celebrations and cultural ceremonies.

The ground floor of the building is used as a public meeting place, a place for religious ceremonies and community events. The first floor of the building is used as a kindergarten and day care centre. Although managed informally by residents of the Kampung the kindergarten seems to be fully functioning, equipped with childrens toys, tables and play equipment.

The public space in front is often used as a place for motorcycles to park which prevents children from using the sports court as a play space. The surrounding residents seem to enjoy sitting around this part of the Kampung watching their children play in the square.

Cikapundung Kampung: Governance Structure

This section looks at the neighbourhood governance system, the Rukun Tetangga (RT R Households Association) and Rukun)Warga (RW R Neighbourhood Association), and how these institutionalised yet informal governance systems have characterised the urban social system and shaped the built environment of the urban settlements.

Briefly, each kampung is divided into.............

There are signs of the governance systems all throughout the kampung, from decorative entrances to the RW’s to stickers demarcating legal water and electricity use for each property.

Observational Data

Cikapundung Kampung: Waste Collection

The lack of concern for the disposal of waste and its final destination is high among all the different components of Indonesian society.

(Unesco.org 2016).

Waste pollution is one main areas of concern within the Cikapundung Kampung. It is very apparent that inadequate collection, transport and disposal of solid waste have had significant negative economic and ecological impacts on the Kampung. It seems that a large majority of the waste is disposed into nearby waste channels and the river (particularly during rainy weather when the river is flowing). The clogging of water channels consequently leads to flooding.

Despite this, the majority of the RW’s have established an environmental committee at the community level or appointed people to collect and dispose of the rubbish during the week.

RW06 member Pak Otong told us that their garbage is collected twice a week.

Observational Data

Cikapundung Kampung: Kampung Entry Points

The ‘gapura’ (gate) typically placed on the street that leads towards the kampung. Typically each RT & RW demarcate the entrance to their community/neighbourhood with signage. This is often elaborately decorated and begins with the words ‘Selamat Datang..’ meaning ‘Welcome’.

This gesture also suggests a form of security or control imposed by the residents, or shows the existence of neighbourhood informal governance. Gates and security post often coexist as elements of an entrance into the kampung.

Some of these thresholds have gates which are closed after 11pm in order to prevent motorcycles driving through the Kampung whilst residents are asleep. This system is usually managed by the RW leaders and members of the community and range from large concrete archways to a simple wall painting.

Interviews

Cikapundung Kampung: Interviews ‘Interviews with residents show that the experience and discourse of character encompasses a broad range of understandings of place identity and embodies important contradictions’ (Dovey, 2010) Alongside our empirical mapping and analysis of the Cikapundung Kampung and surrounding site we conducted a series of interviews to investigate how the residents perceived their environments and felt about issues confronting their communities.

Many thanks goes out to the kind and generous people who were willing to participate in this interview process.

Q : How do you dispose of your waste?

A : All waste water is put into the river. RW 08 do not put their rubbish in the water, other Rw’s do that...

Q : What is your opinion about the river?

A : We used to canoe in the river as a child. There was a public pool/natural spring that would be connected to the river but has now been replaced by the apartment buildings. Waste Water from Ci-Walk and Jardin Apartments also goes into the river which is a problem.

Q : Have you heard about government program like cable car?

A : I have heard a little about it.

Q : What would you like to see happen in the future? Would you mind living elsewhere (high-rise, etc)?

A : The river to be clean again. The new mayor Ridwan Kamil doe snot do anything to make the river clean.

Other: • • •

The public space in the RW08 used to be a pond and was used to clean train carriages until 2010.

Thursday NIghts are very loud as there are events on at CIWalk and Children cannot sleep.

Before the apartments were built there was a view to the mountains from the Kampung.

Pak Iwan Boat Operator

Q : Do you live here? How long have you lived here?

A : Yes. Since I was born.

A : Yes. Q : What is your Job? A : I am a boat operator for river research and also watersports further downstream. When scientists want to test the waters I take them out on the boats.

Q : How do you dispose of your waste?

A : My house has a sewerage system that goes directly into the river. We want to change this but we do not have the capacity.

Q : What is your opinion about the river?

A : There have been a number of revitalisation projects for the river but people still continue to use the river as a waste water system. A farm upstream deposits 20 kg’s of cow faeces into the river each day. I am trying to raise awareness of the river conditions through watersports. There has been 3 major floods since i have lived here. 1 child died in one of the floods.

Q : What would you like to see happen in the future? Would you mind living elsewhere (high-rise, etc)?

Analysis: Findings

Analysis

The Value of Kampung: Analysis To look back and compare the UN’s definition and the Cikapundung Kampung it is difficult to label this well established, vibrant and dynamic community as a slum.

Our findings reveal a thriving culture rich with social capital that the formal sector seems to lack. We have come to realise that the urban form and streetscapes within the site should be seen as a valuable part of Bandung’s culture.

Our point of view is that heritage is dynamic, what is valued constantly changes as a society and even though settlements such as Cikapundung Kampung are not valued currently we see that in the future these urban settlements will be an important part of Bandung’s urban character.

Social networks, which are difficult to identify without on site investigation, thrive within the Kampung and are intrinsically linked with the physical urban morphology.

These networks are what we find the most valuable assets, not just to the Kampung residents but are something the entire city of Bandung could learn from.

The following pages summarise the positive and negative qualities of the Kampung in order to create a proposal that addresses all of the major issues and whilst maintaining all of its positive attributes.

Analysis

The Value of Kampung: Negative Qualities Our initial impressions of the Cikapundung Kampung were very positive and it was very quickly that we realised this was in fact not a ‘slum’. However there were admittedly problems that came with living in this Kampung.

These were issues common to areas yet untouched by modernisation; poor sanitation, hygiene, and inadequate infrastructure.

The following pages highlight a numbe rof these issues with photographs and diagrams.

The road network is not seen solely for transport but the rather as a network of shared public spaces for anyone to use.

Overcrowding There are a number of small businesses spread within the kampung, in the form of warungs or other small enterprises. These should be preserved as they add vibrancy within the streets of the Kampung as well as provide commercial stimulus to the local economy.

Positive Qualities of Kampung

The Value of Kampung: Positive Qualities In response to the Negative qualities shown previously, the Cikapundung Kampung also encompasses many positive attributes that together make a liveable, vibrant and self-sustaining community. The physical morphology, social capital and economic opportunities shape the nature of the Kampung.

It is due to the fine grain morphology of the kampung, including the narrow gangs and back alleys, that social ties tend to develop in a natural and organic manner.

The fact that no physical boundaries and barriers divide individual houses means that individuals in the vicinity are able to make immediate face-to-face relations, this condition also allowing for an automated internal surveillance and security system.

The Kampung could also be seen as a labaratory for creativity. Every wall is painted in vibrant colours, murals are painted all over and people make use of space and materials in creative ways.

The Kampung is also rich in social capital and strong social bonds. The principle of ‘Gotong Royong’ is also prevailant even to visitors of the Kampung. Exclusive social ties, often based on religious activity, such as ‘pengajian’ (learning or citing the Qur’an) are often held in public mosques or communal buildings weekly.

Additionally, if there is a tragedy within the kampung, this traditional ‘gotong royong’, or mutual help principle is generally accepted as to maintain the social harmony.

More positive qualities and a justification for why the Kampung should be maintained will be explained later in diagrams and in Book 03.
