Water supply provision characteristics in peri-urban area

Abstract

Water infrastructure is a very important infrastructure in improving the quality of life. Given the importance of water infrastructure, the Government of Indonesia has set a target of 100% access to drinking water by 2019. Despite the target set, there are many areas in which the condition of water infrastructure is below standard. In term of metropolitan area, the condition of water infrastructure in peri-urban is lower compared to urban area. To improve the condition of infrastructure in the peri-urban areas, it is important to know how the characteristics of infrastructure provision in the region are. The aim of this study is to identify the characteristics of water supply provision in peri-urban area. The analytical method used is descriptive and comparison analysis. The unit of analysis is city and regency level of metropolitan area in Indonesia. Degree of infrastructure provision is measured by coverage and consumption level. The results of the study indicate that the water supply coverage in peri-urban area is lower compared to core area, and water consumption is varied.
