program would help kampong to achieve sustainable

environmental development.

Kampong Maspati, an old historical kampong in

Surabaya has been participating Surabaya Green and

Clean competition every year since 2011 until 2017

consecutively.

roughly 7 years and has been aggressively

promoting their kampong as tourism destination

bringing their historical value as their selling

point.

supportive factors such as; involving individual

or institutions that contributes in the

environmental development of Kampong Maspati.

way of greening the kampong, Kampong Maspati

house should have at least 3 kinds of herbal

plants, 2 decorative plants, and 1 shading plant.

Each people has the record book of the owner

and also the species of plants, thus they can share

plants with each other.

They also has another policy of having one

thematic edible plants that later be used as

materials to make homemade food or drinks

products. This act is a manifestation of economic

empowerment of Kampong Maspati.

The products usually will be sold on street

or online market. Earned money will be partially

used for environmental development.

C. Waste Management

Bank of waste, is a program that emphasize on

filtering non organic waste and making money out

of it. By collecting plastic bottles, newspaper

that later will be weigh-measured and sold, the

money earned will be recorded in a bank book. The

whole earned money will be deposited as

environmental savings.

D. Mutual Cooperation in Developing Environment

People has a strong attachment to their

plants, they don’t need to be told to maintain

and water them. Whenever they see people working,

people would involuntarily join the activities.

4.4 Money Circulation

Kampong Maspati has several different methods

on collecting money from people. Those are:

a. Monthly Money Subscription

People ought to pay around Rp. 2000-5000 (20-

50 yen) per month. Half will be used as social

funding (death compensation) and other half will

be used to manage waste.

b. Money from Bank of Waste and Homemade Products

The output of environmental development, as

mentioned before, ‘Bank of Waste’ and Homemade

Products have generated money in order to be used

for environmental development, that is buying

plant, maintenance for environmental equipment,

etc. The money circulates around the cycle of

buying plants-Homemade products and bank of waste-

earn money-buying plants again.

Kampong Maspati in different aspects, such as

providing facilitation for Kampong People to learn
