The Impact of Housing Transformation to Livability in North Bandung Peri-Urban Area
Urbanization is an undeniable phenomenon that happens globally, including in Indonesia. Indonesian cities are growing, causing urban sprawl and the transformation of rural areas into urban areas. In between the urban and rural, there is a peri-urban area that has unique mixed characteristics of both. Areas with such characteristics can be found easily on the outskirts of Bandung City. The growth of peri-urban areas in Bandung occurs simultaneously with the growing tourism industries. This phenomenon caused a spatial transformation, especially to the existing houses, which gives impact to the livability of the area. This article would focus on how housing transformation in peri-urban areas can affect the livability of the area by using the North Bandung peri-urban area as a case study. The result shows that the spatial transformation that happens in peri-urban areas gives positive impacts on social, economic, and spatial aspects, but unfortunately not the environmental aspects.
Climate Resilience and Policy Transfer in Semarang City, Indonesia
Cities around the world are facing tremendous challenges due to climate change. Tropical cities are significantly impacted by temperature increases, higher than average global rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. In the tropical Asia-Pacific region effects from the El Niño-Southern Oscillation are especially severe, which, in turn, cause disasters such as floods and droughts. Climate change requires cooperation from actors across geopolitical borders to respond to the problem collectively, which involves global networks in the exchange of climate mitigation policies and adaptation plans through a process of policy transfer. This paper examines the processes of policy transfer between the tropical coastal city of Semarang in Indonesia and its global networks in the ‘100 Resilient Cities’, and the ‘Water as Leverage’ programs. The paper analyses interviews with actors and stakeholders from these two programs and examines key factors that determine the success of the climate change policy transfer in Semarang City.
Online Ojek Shelter Provision and Management
Practical Guidelines
Online ojek or online motorcycle taxi ride-hailing service has a rapid growth in Indonesia, since its first appearance in 2014. This service has a huge demand, especially in big cities, to muddle through daily heavy traffic congestion. In collaboration with three institutions who focused their works in urban development (Ruang Waktu Knowledge Hub for Sustainable [Urban] Development, ITDP Indonesia, and Urban+ Institute), we initiated a new architectural typology in response to the growing ride-hailing lifestyle in urban daily life. Currently, this guideline is only available in Bahasa Indonesia.
However, the summary of this publication is available in English.

Road Safety in Prishtina: A Study of Perception from Producers’ and Road Users’ Perspective
Prishtina is the capital city of Kosovo, the youngest country in Europe, which declared its independence in 2008. Before its independence, Kosovo is an autonomous province under Serbia, which was part of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Kosovo has a long history of conflicts since the occupation of the Turkish Ottoman Empire in the Balkan Peninsula area until the recent one was the Kosova War in 1998 – 1999. As a post-conflict society, Prishtina is suffering from several urban challenges. One of these challenges is the road safety issue indicated by increasing the number of traffic accidents in Prishtina and even nationwide. The national government considered this situation as unusual for European countries.
