About This Report Our Annual Report provides an overview of the work of Kota Kita Foundation from January 2018-December 2018. The report covers the work of Kota Kita, organized following the urban sector focuses, details the programs and activities, and illustrates organizational growth, and collaborations and joint work with our partners and collaborators.
2018 Highlights In 2018, we launched a number of exciting initiatives in Semarang, Banjarmasin, and Solo. Some programs were built on our past and ongoing work, while others were new opportunities and partnerships that expanded our horizon. In Semarang, the Netherland Enterprise Agency (RVO) kicked off a nine month, multi-cities Water as Leverage programme in which Kota Kita is playing a local lead role to develop concepts for transformative urban water projects alongside a multidisciplinary consortium. In Banjarmasin, we brought in a learning from the participatory data collection, previously done in Solo (in 2017), to conduct a citywide data collection about disability inclusion. Where as a result, we successfully advocated for a more inclusive political process for persons with disabilities in the 2019 General Election. In Solo, we started a co-design and development process with the bamboo craftsman group of Kampung Ngampon, Mojosongo to improve their socio-economic capacity. Finally, we ended the year on a high note with our annual civil society-led event - the Urban Social Forum. In its sixth year, the forum has evolved into a two-day citizen engagement platform attracting almost 1,000 participants and partner organizations from all over Indonesia.
Using urban resilience as a framework for growth Since our founding, our work has targeted small and medium Indonesian cities in line with our vision to achieve a more resilient urban growth. Our participatory urban mapping methodology in Solo and Banjarmasin, for instance, has helped improve participatory planning and budgeting process by highlighting urban poor populations vulnerable to disasters and impacts of climate change, ultimately informing the governments to channel necessary resources. Through the refinement of our participatory methodologies and our skills in facilitating multi-stakeholder participation, Kota Kita completed a number of diverse projects related to urban resilience. These include conducting climate change vulnerability assessments in 3 cities, building city visioning profiles, and more recently, launching an ongoing co-design and development process with bamboo craftsmen in Kampung Ngampon, Solo, and with the Water as Leverage program in Semarang. We believe that our commitment to cross-sectoral urban issues strengthens our approach to solve challenges in the face of climate change. With holistic approach, we come up with urban resilience strategies to integrate actions aimed at improving social, economic well-being and ecological condition. This involves various actions from different departments, institutions, and communities working together to solve those issues through policies, actions, and projects. In the Water as Leverage program in Semarang, we have taken a step further towards direct advocacy and large-scale project implementation by leading the stakeholder engagement and coalition building process. As the Local Lead, Kota Kita was critical in synthesizing technical, institutional, social and political issues across the large consortium of architects, engineers, hydrologists, government agencies and everyday citizens. We are currently pursuing three concepts to counter the massive land subsidence and flooding compounded by sea-level rise: an integrated nature-based coastal protection, a system of resilient water-secure kampungs and the optimization of water supply for industrial areas in and around the region.
Participatory process to produce fine-grained, fit-to-purpose data is key to advocate for more inclusive urban planning and public service delivery For a long time, our action research and participatory community assessment has been a primary tool in the urban planning process. In 2018, our participatory data collection methodology for disability-inclusive city planning and public service delivery has proven successful in fostering closer links among city stakeholders. In Banjarmasin, this process helped mobilize the skills and expertise of disabled people’s organizations and persons with disabilities (PwDs), ensuring a more inclusive and democratic planning process. Moreover, the resulting fine-grained data and information are essential in designing effective disability-inclusive policies. Most relevantly, it helped update the number of PwDs who eligible voters for the 2019 Indonesia’s General Election are.
Similarly, the mapping of slow lanes and bicycle-friendly routes that we did for the Women on Wheels program in Solo has been integrated into the Solo City Bicycle Map, an information tool targeting the city’s cyclists, everyday citizens, and visiting tourists. The information has also helped the advocacy to revitalize slow lanes in Solo
Thought leadership In 2018, Kota Kita continued to promote ongoing conversations and exchange of knowledge on a national and international scale with a wide range of stakeholders around the understanding of sustainable, just, and inclusive urban development. We are very glad to have shared our experiences from Indonesia at many international events, which include among others the World Urban Forum in Kuala Lumpur, international participatory budgeting in Sweden, and civic engagement practices in Bangkok. We organized regular workshops, discussions, and initiated engagements with students, artists, and citizens to trigger more creative and innovative ways of thinking about Indonesian cities. In the digital sphere, we have also developed a strategy to turn our channels into a knowledge platform that connects the conversation about challenges and urban solutions to the wider public
Moving Forward Throughout the years, we have been fortunate to partner with diverse organizations, city governments, academic institutions, communities, youth groups, and the private sector committed to inclusive urban planning and development. In 2019, we have much more to look forward to. As part of our commitment to improving resilience, inclusivity, and better governance, we will continue our existing programs and initiatives in three Indonesian cities: Solo, Semarang, and Banjarmasin. We intend to keep refining our methodology and innovations in participatory data collection to support evidence-based planning and development in more Indonesian cities. We are committed to enhancing our research, analysis, and urban design capabilities to develop innovative urban policy initiatives. We strive to improve our communications function to solidify our role as a resource centre for inclusive urban development and bringing the issue to public discourse. Finally, we invite you to read through this report which showcases our programs and initiatives in 2018.
About Kota Kita Kota Kita aims to improve urban lives by encouraging participation and collaboration, influencing urban policies, encouraging open information access, and conducting public and civic education to empower urban citizens to be more active and inspiring a new generation of social activist

Co-design initiative with Bamboo Birdcage Craftsmen of Kampung Ngampon, Solo Kampong Ngampon in Mojosongo, Solo City is known for its cluster of small, home-based bamboo birdcage industry. For most of the kampong residents, birdcage making is their main source of income. Their collective craftsmanship is considered exceptional, especially in the distinctive type of bamboo and the unique decorative birdcage patterns. In 2018, Kota Kita held a series of community discussions to explore and examine the potentials and challenges of the neighborhood’s home-based creative industry. This engagement allows us to address some of the most pressing spatial and socio-environmental challenges affecting the production cycle of the birdcages. In an attempt to solve a long-standing dilemma, we explored how Ngampon residents could make the best use of space available for their workshops and compartmentalize them based on functions: work, communal and social interactions, and safe playgrounds for children. Furthermore, they identified the need to have separate rooms to store raw materials and production waste. Based on the information collected, Kota Kita’s plan for 2019 is to initiate and maintain close collaborations with the people of Ngampon, student-designers, as well as professionals in a co-design project aimed at improving the living conditions of the Ngampon craftsmen, which would ultimately contribute to their sustainable livelihood

Datakota.id Since 2017, the City Government of Banjarmasin and Kota Kita have been working together to establish and maintain a free and open urban diagnostic platform, Data Kota (www. datakota.id/banjarmasin).The platform consolidates socio-demographic data and features an interactive map that geographically locates different conditions. It also allows users to create and print each of the city’s 52 neighborhood (Kelurahan) profiles in order to produce what is known as a ‘mini-atlas’. As one of the main tools of the project, the Mini Atlas is an infographic product that shows how each neighborhood works and illustrates patterns of social and economic, accessibility, and inclusivity problems and opportunities. In 2018, we had a launching event that was attended by the Mayor of Banjarmasin, Head of the City Planning Agency (Barenlitbangda), and heads or representatives from city departments, as well as members of civil society organizations, academia, and the media. Throughout the year, we also organized a series of meetings with various stakeholders to understand their user experience and explore use cases of the datasets in order to further refine our data collection and visualization process.

Water as Leverage As part of the One Resilient consortium, since October of 2018 Kota Kita has been involved in the Water as Leverage for Resilient Cities Program in Semarang, Central Java. Designed by the Netherland Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and The Special Envoy for International Water Affairs, the program is implemented in three cities worldwide - Chennai (India), Khulna (Bangladesh), and Semarang (Indonesia) - to develop innovative, bankable, and implementable design proposals in order to tackle the immense climate and water challenges. The One Resilient Team Semarang consists of One Architecture, Kota Kita, Wetlands International Indonesia, Deltares, Grobak Hysteria, Universitas Diponegoro, and the University of Pennsylvania. By the end of 2018, two city-wide workshops and two focus-group discussions were conducted. The team developed initial concept ideas to tackle pressing water problems in Semarang by collaborating closely with city stakeholders, including city departments, civil society organizations, and community representatives. Together, we classified 5 (five) concept ideas into three resilient systems: (a) an optimized water capture and recycle system; (b) an integrated (eco, industrial, logistic) protective coastal zone; and (c) a network of Resilient Kampongs. Moving forward, the two consortia working in Semarang will join forces detailing each of the concepts and further identify benefits (climate, social, and cultural), potential project beneficiaries, and future financing streams. In early 2019, the Mayor of Semarang hosted the “International Seminar on Water as Leverage�, where the two teams jointly presented five strategic program opportunities from upland to coast. The event inaugurated a commitment and partnership between the Government of the Netherlands and the City of Semarang towards developing an integrated approach to water management. To formalize this commitment, an agreement was signed by the Mayor of Semarang, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Indonesia, and the Special Envoy for International Water Affairs

Strengthening Metropolitan Spatial Planning for Resilient Urban Development Since the end of 2017, Kota Kita, together with experts from Future Cities Laboratory Singapore, University of Indonesia, and PT. Hatfield, has been working under the framework of UCCRTF (Urban Climate Change Resilience Trust Funds) in ADB to support the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning (MASP) on preparing a new Metropolitan Spatial Planning Framework that integrates resilience principles. Taking Palembang Metropolitan Area as a case study, the team conducted an Urban Resilience Assessment in the region to distil some important lessons regarding inter-regency collaborations in disaster and sharedrisk management. The team also conducted an extensive literature review for international benchmarking on the topics of metropolitan definitions, form and flow, land use management, governance, data sharing and management, and urban resilience. The team worked closely not only with the Ministry but also with the national and city level development and planning agencies in the Metropolitan region. Furthermore, a series of workshops at the metropolitan region was conducted to gather data and facilitate capacitybuilding efforts for local government officials about climate resilience and disaster risk management. The output of this project includes assessment and guidelines, i.e. Urban Resilience Assessment in Palembang Metropolitan Area, a Guidance for Developing Metropolitan Spatial Planning Framework, a Review of the Quality of the Existing Spatial Data, and a Toolkit for Data Sharing and Management for Metropolitan Spatial Planning.

Karimunjawa: A Participatory Research and Visioning Project towards a Community-based Development Karimunjawa is a cluster of islands and atolls north of Central Java and has a latent potential for sustainable tourism-based development. With a relatively untouched natural environment and nascent tourism market, there is an opportunity to develop a more cohesive environmentally sustainable and culturally meaningful development plan to promote both sustainable tourism practices as well as long term community empowerment effort in general. To achieve this, there is a need to understand local context, existing characteristics of the communities, socio-economic activities, values, and—more importantly— aspirations. Since November 2018, Kota Kita has been conducting preliminary research to understand the local context, identify key potentials that set Karimunjawa apart from other tourism destinations in Indonesia and the world, in order to initiate a visioning document for the sustainable development master plan in Karimunjawa. In December 2018, Kota Kita conducted the initial site visit to 5 inhabited islands in Karimunjawa: Karimunjawa, Kemojan, Parang, Nyamuk, and Genting island, to obtain a broad overview of the network of islands. The primary activity was a guided survey to the inhabited and uninhabited islands in order to get a glimpse of the social, political, cultural and environmental dimensions. Kota Kita team conducted interviews and photo documentation of the various sites and established contacts with local community leaders, guided by local facilitators from HPI Karimunjawa - the local chapter of the Indonesian Association of Tour Guides, and Lingkar Desa Jepara - a grassroots coalition focusing on community-based tourism steeped in local knowledge.

Participatory Data Collection for Disability-Inclusive City In 2018, UNESCO and Kota Kita collaborated to conduct participatory data collection for disability-inclusive City Profile of Banjarmasin. We used methodology and learnings from the pilot process in 2017 in Solo, Indonesia. The project aimed to respond to the manifest gap in disability data by replicating Kota Kita’s methodology of participatory data collection in Banjarmasin, and through a partnership with other members of the Network of Mayors for Inclusive Cities. The project also aimed at strengthening the relationship between city authorities and citizens with disabilities through a mutually beneficial collaborative process. By November 2018, together with our local partner Kaki Kota Banjarmasin, Kota Kita has concluded the city-wide census, a door-to-door survey at the smallest administrative division level — referred to in Indonesian as “rukun tetangga” (or RT). The process involved 50 volunteers and documented 3,897 persons with disabilities (PwDs) in 1,657 RTs in Banjarmasin. The number was almost twice as much as that from the official government data. Kota Kita also interviewed 17 stakeholders who represented the city government, civil society organization (CSO), and disabled people’s organizations (DPOs) to get more astute information, as well as strengthen and clarify the findings. Field observation was also conducted to document the availability and accessibility of public facilities and infrastructures for persons with disabilities. Kota Kita organized two focus group discussions (FGDs) with PwDs in the highest concentration of disability distribution, Pelambuan, and other relevant stakeholders. In December 2018, approaching the calculation of eligible voters or DPT (Data Pemilih Tetap) by the General Election Commission (referred to in Indonesian as Komisi Pemilihan Umum, or KPU) for the 2019 General Election, Kota Kita’s data helped improve the number PwDs eligible to vote. There were 991 PwDs who were previously registered for the 2019 Indonesian General Election. Having cross-checked their data with ours , KPU held a public discussion “Rapat Pleno DPTHP-2” on December 9, 2018, and determined 3,297 PwDs as final number of eligible voters with disabilities.

Women on Wheels Report Launch Following initial phases of the Women on Wheels Project in Indonesia – Feasibility Study, Toolbox Development, and Program Design – Kota Kita has initiated a pilot project in Solo. This pilot, completed in August 2018, consists of a multi-faceted set of actions with the primary purpose to promote cycling for girls and women in Solo. In this pilot, we collaborated with four key population groups and institutions from the city to facilitate and share relevant skills to advocate for and promote a pro-cycling city agenda. These activities include education and raising awareness on the benefits of an alternative mode of transportation; its convenience, health, and environmental advantages. The activities were based on our context-based research and interactions with relevant stakeholders and population groups in previous phases. The learnings from the past three years have been summarized in a report, available for public on Kota Kita’s website.

The Urban Social Forum Banjarmasin A session in the International Disability Day Celebration with City Government of Banjarmasin and Network of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) Banjarmasin, 3 December 2018
What does growth mean for us as a team? In the past year, we have been focusing on organizational self-reflections by exploring ways to enhance our positioning as a robust civil society organization and resource centre in inclusive urban development in Indonesia. More importantly, we have been putting some of those thoughts into action. We started by establishing a leadership team and recruiting a more diverse group of skilful and enthusiastic young urbanists to join our efforts. We have also taken steps to improve our operational and financial capacity and developed a communications strategy and plan to support our vision as a resource centre and connect our works better to the public
