Focusing on procedural fairness and place attachment (projectand place-related factors, respectively), this study explores residents’ concern underlying their opposition to a displacement policy. A field survey of 250 riverbank settlers in Jakarta, Indonesia was conducted. Residents’ perceptions of procedural fairness significantly affected their degree of acceptance of displacement. Also, perceived procedural fairness predicted residents’ participation in a class action lawsuit against the government’s displacement proposal. This study showed that the degree of control that residents felt they had while the displacement policy was being designed, and their trust in the sincerity of the government, predicted the perceived procedural fairness.","PeriodicalId":378987,"journal":{"name":"Urban and Regional Planning Review","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134211576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Land Use Transition and Possibility of Climate Change Adaptation by Rice Farmers around the Industrial Estate in Bangkok's Urban Fringe","authors":"S. Yokota, Yuhei Aihara, Danai Thaitakoo","doi":"10.14398/urpr.7.22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14398/urpr.7.22","url":null,"abstract":"Rapid urbanization has taken place in Southeast Asian megacities located in the lower river delta basins, and a mixed urban-rural land use is being adopted in the urban fringes. Industrial land uses in particular are being mixed with farmlands, including paddy fields and orchards. Urban suburbs, 30-35 km east of central Bangkok, now face the risk of floods and droughts. Therefore, adaptive land and water management is urgently needed. This research focuses on paddy fields as spaces for water regulation and local water management activities against floods and droughts around Lat Krabang industrial estate. The research consists of two parts: 1) spatial analysis using GIS to analyze the appropriate land use arrangement of wetlands that have high resilience to floods and droughts, and 2) hearing survey of rice farmers and other stakeholders on their awareness of future land development and collaborative water management scenarios. We digitized the land use change in the area that had paddy fields to the west of the industrial estate. In this region, adjustment ponds and abandoned areas increased as parts of the waterway disappeared. It is assumed that the farming type changed because of the fragmentation of the waterway and the increase in adjustment ponds. We also interviewed 39 rice farmers, the site managers of the water management company “GUSCO,” and the person in charge at the local government’s agricultural office. The awareness analysis concerning future scenarios indicated that most rice farmers recognize the importance of paddy field conservation, and many of them who were affected by floods and droughts tend to view the large-scale adjustment pond scenario as meaningless. Furthermore, there is a possibility of GUSCO playing the role of a coordinator for cooperative water management among stakeholders. Based on the spatial analysis, it can be assumed that the current scenario of rice farming is affected by natural land use change and the inner structure of paddy fields. Analyses of the relationship between area ratios of paddy fields and adjustment ponds by current drainage types indicated that both ratios are low in the areas with nature drainage than in the areas with only pump drainage. Furthermore, it can be assumed that rice farmers find it easy to control water intake and drainage with small-scale paddy fields. The rice farmers who have been affected by floods are converged in areas with a higher ratio of adjustment ponds, which can be an adaptation measure against drought. It is suggested that a sufficient number of small-scale adjustment ponds connected to paddy fields can be an important protection measure against floods and droughts.","PeriodicalId":378987,"journal":{"name":"Urban and Regional Planning Review","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129067693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They differ greatly in character and do not conform to zoning regulations. Notwithstanding their variations, however, they share some characteristics: inadequate housing, insufficient and/or inappropriate living space, lack or poor public services and utilities. In Rwanda, informal settlements emerged in and around the capital City of Kigali (hereinafter referred to CoK) since its creation early 20 th century, due to the flux of rural-urban migration. Since 2007, the CoK published its Master Plan. Concerning non-formal settlements chapter, it recommended the on-site upgrading and clearance or relocation of critical informal sites. Listed herewith are countermeasures against new informal settlements and alleviation of pressure of housing demand: elaboration and implementation of urban planning and development tools (1) ; informal settlement upgrading strategies (2) ; development of secondary cities (3) . This research focuses the on-site upgrading of informal settlements as a sustainable solution that leaves intact the residents’ socio-economic networks. Many researches talked about this solution. Yet, there is no clear guidelines of best upgrading practices. This research points out clustering formations of dwellings typologies with respect to available public infrastructures and services. The findings from this research will serve a basis to prepare adequate physical plans responding to the needs of informal dwellers in particular, and formalizing the informal in general. To carry out this research, we collected data by on-site surveys and interviews. We subjected the data to dimension-reduction tools and we found a consistent patterning between housing typologies and public infrastructures and services.","PeriodicalId":378987,"journal":{"name":"Urban and Regional Planning Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130578404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
