Typology of livable waterfront settlement and how to manage the community.

Abstract

Population growth will lead to the change in the city. The process of change and growth in the city will determine the level and size of the city, including Indonesia. The various processes of urban change show the value of global pressure on the local context in an effort to understand the complexity of the city changing forms. Research on waterfront settlements that have been carried out revolves around the characteristics and strategies of planning the sustainable settlement by studying the process of its formation toward sustainable settlements. The purpose of this literature research is to identify the typology of waterfront settlements and to find a livable waterfront settlement management strategy. The literature study was carried out related to the growth and development of the waterfront city, the phenomenon of waterfront settlement in Indonesia, and a comparative study of waterfront settlement management which became the best practice in developing waterfront settlement management strategies in Indonesia. The results of the literature study show that the transformation of the waterfront settlements causes a change in the character of the place. So we need innovations in the concept of waterfront settlement management that can be implemented in Indonesia.
