Abstract

This paper proposes a sustainable development strategy for a Nusa Idaman, in Nusajaya neighborhood, located in Indonesia for post-oil era. The main objective focused in sustainable development in the neighborhood, is food production and process. Process of food production involves in spatial organization and system flow. Spatial organization process includes food production is connected with resources like water body and productive land later connected to supply chain and to neighborhood settlements this process in turn connects to waste management. The system flow involves locations of water body, agricultural field, dwelling units and waste management. During the post oil era, these food production processes makes the city experienced to have sustainable development.

Key words: post oil era, food production, sustainability, resilient city, organized trade, settlement, urban agriculture, post-oil, urban Infrastructure.

1 INTRODUCTION A Neighborhood in Nusa Idaman, Nusajaya, Indonesia is being developed this proposal for this city is Nusa Idaman is a mid-market mixed development. The equatorial climate has almost unchanging weather patterns throughout the year. This climatic condition is considered to be pleasant for most of the year. Soil condition in this neighborhood has a history of growing crops. Food production is being a major input for the country’s GDP before 1970 and is been decline since then from 25% to 20% and lesser. In recent years government has taken initiative for the improving the food production status in different varieties. The different varieties include organic production, mixed farming and agro-forestry where as all these productions is been considered as a sustainable farming. Henceforth, the World Bank has certified the country’s food production as the sustainable farming in Indonesia.

Scientist, researchers and the policy makers are working on introducing and improving the food production in urban areas. According to UN’s population division, it is considered by 2050 70% of the world’s population will be residing in the cities. So it is important to have food production areas closer to city center. This process can be a value input to have a resilient neighborhood by 2050.

Architectural community suggests that what make a city are not its built form but the life and the relationship that takes place within it. From the above quote and a thought about post oil era in 2050 the question arises.

Can food production system be a factor of resilient cities in post-oil era?

Oil is been a very essential part of the society, it has been an important source of energy for several decades in human life. To imagine a day without oil produce is close to impossible, it is important to face the fact that the oil reserves are losing their abilities every year. For example: glenn pool has a recorded production declination from 1911 to 1916 from 52% to 18% respectively. This is the fact recorded from one oil well. According to this paper, insufficient and inefficient accessibility of oil for the dwellers in different parts of the globe is defined as post-oil era.

2 FOOD PRODUCTION It is one of the basic necessities for human-beings for the survival. This paper describes the overall strategy of spatial organization to encourage urban agriculture. Sustainable infrastructure chosen for the food production is urban agriculture as a system and other supportive factors. Provision of productive landscape inside the city is called urban agriculture. The area that has potential for the provision of productive landscape is:

The area next to rail lines.

Plaza area.

Wide footpaths

Collective roof tops areas To make use of this concept of urban agriculture, the implementation process should start from political, community and individual levels. Government plays an important role in framing the structure for the implementation of this land-use. The suggested framework for this land use is as follows:

1. Resource allotment: water and productive land-use 2. Food production: methodology and energy usage 3. Food consumption: accessibilities and transport 4. Waste production and management

2.1 RESOURCE ALLOTMENT: WATER TRANSMISSION AND PRODUCTIVE

LAND-USE

Neighborhood Nusa-Idaman is 5 Kms away from the water channel between Singapore and Indonesia. It is 2.5 Kms away from the closest water resource. The water can be directed to the productive land location through channeling and by efficient utilization of available lake in-site. This reservoir can also be the source of water for the dwellers after the process of basic filtrations. This process of filtration includes passing the water through different grain size pebbles in minimum of 5 layers before reaching the dwelling units.

The land available in this region is fertile, as before this neighborhood development in year 2010 the land was utilized for agro-forestry with palm trees and other crops. According to the policies 25% of the development area should be utilized for the open park and greenery in a development. The greenery area and the periphery of the open park land-use can be utilized as productive land-use this can be implemented at the government level. The community level of implementations includes the multiple ownership of landscape area. Individual units house members will carry out their responsibilities at their property owned; includes front-yard, back yard, terrace garden and roof-top gardening. All these different levels of productive land-use with add up to approximately 75% of productive landscape, according to research this will suffice an individual for 2000 calories/day for a year.

With this strategy of spatial arrangements and functions, the process of resource allotment of water and it’s usage with productive land-use will be sustainable.

2.2 FOOD PRODUCTION: METHODOLOGY AND ENERGY USAGE

In the above mentioned productive land-use areas the food corps can be produced in a sustainable way by using no pesticides and fertilizers. The fertilizers can be replaced by dry leaves and bio-degradable waste produced by the dwelling units. By using the organic manure the process of production will be organic this is going to add on to countries organic farming lands. The policies can be designed to have less intervention of the machines for preparing the land for production, by introducing the advanced manually maintained devices for preparing the land. The watering for plants can be utilized by the water from reservoir in-site. Maximum through channelizing for the public and community productive land, for the roof-top and terrace gardens the water has to be pumped using the high energy efficient motors, the energy can be generated using the solar panels and wind mills. These renewable energy can be used even to light the streets lamps as well.

Since these are the technical factors of using technologies, has potential of being improved over period of time.

2.3 FOOD CONSUMPTION: ACCESSIBILITIES AND TRANSPORT

Food produced has to be accessed to the dwelling units. Since, this is urban agriculture and has the production land in city’s open area. It can be accessed without using any renewable energy for transportation.

Strategy 1: motorized vehicular transportation is one of the maximum co2 emissions in food production industry this might be because of the large amount of production and new techniques of harvesting. Because this is urban agriculture and occupies less area compare to the regular farming business this can be manually operated.

Strategy 2: The usages of food products will be reduced at the policy level and encourage people to consume the food grown from their own productive land. Food Product has to be considerably reduced from importing from the other countries. This not only causes increase in eco-logical foot-print of the place but also affects the health condition of the dwellers. This can also be achieved by making the products available for the people in lesser price and location of these out-lets close to residential zone.

2.4 WASTE PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT

The types of waste collected from the residential are organic waste and waste from sewage sludge. This can be managed by re-using these produced wastes in an efficient way like.

Strategy 1: Organic food waste can be collected from the individual dwelling unit and used as fertilizers for their urban productive lands, which is located within the vicinity of the dwellers. This reduced the motorized transportation between the wastes produced to waste usage.

Strategy 2: Sewage sludge will be transformed to anaerobic digestion in producing of bio-fuel for vehicles, bio-solids for fertilizer and clean water

After practicing urban farming in the settlement, the city of Nusa Idaman would anticipate the infrastructure as shown in the below images.

3 CONCLUSION

From the above proposal suggested for the Nusa Idaman with the elements of resilient development related to food production were discussed with spatial organization, water, energy, transportation and waste management. Initially I had this question if a settlement can be a resilient by having a planned and organized food production model. Analyzing the above mentioned frame work proposal in performing the matrix against co2 emission and self sufficient energy in table below

The above table describes the efficiency of proposed food production system of Urban Agriculture in Nusa Idaman. The system can be of an ideal state when the spatial organization is taken care at the initial developmental stage the rest others require the regular inspection and a check on it efficiency for the model to be a successful and productive. The Urban Agriculture can bring in (Note: 100%-10%-2%-8 %=) 80% of efficiency for food production to settlement. This requires the involvement from administrative regulations till individual involvement.

Vision statement: sustainable development in Post –Oil era.

Henceforth, food production system is a factor of resilient cities in post oil era.
