First house
During the colonial era, the blocks used to be paddy fields.
Roads were paved for access.
After independence, the plots of land were passed on to the workers and farmers, who built the first house there. Division of the plots of land.
2000
Houses of family Open spaces / plantations
Densification of plots with expansion of the owner’s family. Empty spaces still exist in the form of courtyards, farms and plantations.
2016
Businesses Construction works
Gathering of commercial activity along main roads - families started their home businesses and businesses which needed accessibility to the city were located along the main road.

urbanexpansion FUTURE: TYPES OF GROWTH THE FUTURE
Without any plans or regulations, a city can grow out of control. Unorganized urban growth can lead to unhealthy lifestyles, and damage to environment. Most planners try to predict and organize the expansion of cities, hoping to be able to control it. However, sometimes small towns and villages in the outskirts of expanding cities are negatively affected in this expansion process.
First house
Houses of family Open spaces / plantations
Commercial activity Construction works
Built up area Leftover space
As a consequence, these villages lose their identity, values and culture. Using timeline analysis, it is possible to foresee 2 different types of development and their impacts on the physical layout and the character of the villages in the area.
UNCONTROLLED DEVELOPM EN T
GA T ED C OM M U N IT IES
Demand for infrastructure Increases basic development patterns of the village
However, while villages develop and densify, Solo City expands with the characteristics of the new trend of private-gated compounds.
Demand for better connectivity development of the roads, and a natural flow betweem existing roads
These compounds pose a threat to the identity, sense of community and even the existence of adjacent villages. Moreover, their development could lead to negative impacts such as: Traffic congestion Greater demand for public services and public infrastructure
Farmland is overtaken by motonous private compounds Cost and delays due to construction on large scale
“I wouldn’t want to sell my paddy field because many people would lose their jobs.” - Villager
“I don’t really like the new developments at the paddy fields. They took my play ground away.” - Widya, 12 years old
Dependent on Solo for public services
Interdependent network of local amenities (schools, mosques, healthcare, markets, entertainment)
Densifying land plots lead to lack of public open space
Public Street scapes Peripheral roads with public spaces and amenities shared by adjacent villages
Monotonous developer housing surrounds and isolates villages
Diverse Economy a eco-cultural corridor network of unique local industries (ie.Batik) that promote eco-tourism and farmland preservation eco- cultural corridor
Traffic congestion more and more people need to commute to Solo

Steering the physical development of streets as a way to preserve and support the people’s lifestyles, cultural identities, local economic development and inter-village relationships.
EXTENDED CONNECTIVITY

To extend existing street network for greater connectivity
To provide alternative route for villagers to commute to city
To pedestrianize internal streets as public space to create vibrant roadsides unique to local culture
To increase demand for and encourage public transport to city

Batik is the locl ar t in Waru Village. It has been there, since the colonial era. Villagers here make a living by making and selling batik. It is seen as the identity of Waru village by its people. The batik workshops in Waru village are commonly located near the canal. People colour and dr y the batik in the traditional way, throwing the batik waste into the canal, which pollutes the rice field.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The batik dye waste solution is thrown into the canal, because it is easier than in Solo, where many people would complain. Here, the regulation is easier.â&#x20AC;? - 54-year-old

ourconclusion A NETWORK OF KAMPUNGS
What we have proposed is not only concerned with one village or a specific case study. Our vision is to apply this model of development to all neighboring villages to form a close-knitted and inter-dependent network of kampungs. We believe through extending the connectivity of the existing street network and proposing optimum land plot sizes, natural restrictions will be enforced on developers and individuals when building their establishments within a certain context and following a certain structure. By achieving this, not only will it preserve the identity of the villages, but it will also keep the organic structure for the whole area. Instead of having several gated compounds, we envision several kampungs connected dynamically together with an efficient and people-friendly street network infrastructure, a network of public amenities and an eco-cultural corridor of unique local industries.
