The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government says there are no longer RW\nkumuh berat (heavy-category slum RW) in Jakarta. Kelik Indriyanto, head\nof the Department of Public Housing and Settlement (DPRKP), said that\nwhile RW kumuh do still exist\u2014most of them in West Jakarta and North\nJakarta\u2014there are none classified as heavy anymore. \u2018There are still\nslums in West Jakarta and North Jakarta, the most numerous. But,\nAlhamdulillah, there are no heavy slums left; that is something we are\ngrateful for,\u2019 Kelik said in Central Jakarta on Friday (22\/5), cited by\nAntara.<\/p>\n
He said the remaining RW kumuh in Jakarta currently fall into the\ncategories of moderate slum, light slum, and very light slum.<\/p>\n
Kelik also confirmed that going forward, the programme to reduce RW\nkumuh in Jakarta will continue. He said the DKI Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment will collaborate with the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of\nDKI Jakarta to handle RW kumuh. \u2018The programme will continue, using the\nresults from BPS. We will really target according to the central points\nthat are indeed slum. So, we will work together with BPS DKI, alongside\nthose who will down the details, the RTs, where the kumuh is, because\naccording to BPS if there is one RT that is kumuh, then it is called RW\nkumuh,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said that the handling of RW\nkumuh in the future would be prioritised in high-density areas,\nespecially West and North Jakarta. Areas such as Tambora would be among\nthe focus due to high settlement complexity and the need for measured\nintervention. He also targeted 50 RW kumuh to be addressed by next\nyear.<\/p>\n
50 RW kumuh priority handling 2027<\/p>\n
In addition, Kelik said they would propose 50 points of RW kumuh to\nbe prioritised for handling in 2027. \u2018If next year there are 50 RW kumuh\nthat can be handled, we\u2019ll see the progress. We will propose again later\nwhich ones truly need to be prioritised,\u2019 Kelik said. However, he did\nnot detail which RW will be proposed for prioritisation in 2027. He\nconfirmed the 50 RW are spread across all areas of DKI Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he said that the handling of slum areas in Jakarta is\ncarried out through several patterns: restoration, renewal, and\nresettlement, depending on the condition of each RW kumuh. He noted that\nmost efforts are through upgrading and improving the quality of existing\nslum RW to become more habitable via restoration. For the renewal\npattern, the DKI Jakarta government has implemented it in locations\nincluding Akuarium, Kunir, Palmerah, and Tanah Tinggi, where there has\nbeen comprehensive upgrading of houses, infrastructure, and\nutilities.<\/p>\n
For the resettlement pattern, this is applied to areas that cannot be\nmaintained due to spatial and safety factors, such as Kampung Bukit\nDuri, whose residents were relocated to Rusun Tumbuh Kembang Cakung and\nseveral other Rusunawa. Kelik explained that under the Regulation of the\nMinister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) No.\u00a014 of 2018, the\nidentification of slum conditions is assessed based on seven aspects:\nbuilding condition, neighbourhood road condition, drinking water\nprovision, drainage condition, wastewater management, waste management,\nand fire protection. An RW is deemed to have exited the kumuh category\nwhen its kumuh score is below the threshold (the criteria for non-slum)\naccording to these indicators.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dki-jakarta-government-no-more-heavy-category-slum-rw-in-jakarta-1779531614", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
