Ecosystem Approach Studying Development of North Coast Jakarta

Abstract

The Inhabitant population of the city of Jakarta continues to increase, the extent of land is limited, and the increasing demand for housing and support facilities, to encourage the conversion of land in Jakarta, for example, the conversion of mangrove forests and reclamation on the north coast of Jakarta in a bid to increase the area of land for the construction of housing and business and commercial centre. Changes in land cover caused by changes in the ecosystem affect the North Beach neighbourhood of Jakarta. The purpose of this paper examines the impact of changes in land cover and environmental development of coastal areas of Jakarta. The qualitative research approach used. Analysis of changes in land uses the space, temporal analysis instruments, to study the change of land use in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015. The scope of the study is limited to environmental issues, which include the natural and built environment of the Environment. The study results get, the development of the north coast city of Jakarta ignores ecosystems, such as coastal ecosystems, open green spaces, river ecosystems, resulting in a puddle of water at high tide.
