The Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov DKI Jakarta) together with\nthe Central Statistics Agency (BPS) has recorded a decline in the number\nof slum Rukun Warga (RW) areas in Jakarta from 445 RW in 2017 to 211 RW\nin 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, to put it simply, in 2017 the number of slum RW was 445. In one\nyear of my administration and a bit more, now it has become 211 RW,\u201d\nsaid Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung at the DKI Jakarta City Hall,\nCentral Jakarta, on Wednesday (6\/5).<\/p>\n
Pramono did not deny that this success is not the result of instant\nwork, but rather a long process from the local government that must\ncontinue to be monitored consistently in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do not want to claim that it is all the result of what we have\ndone, but if you look at the development of increasing population, and\nthe field problems are becoming more complex, a decline of almost 52\npercent in my opinion is already something extraordinary and I am\ngrateful for that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In line with that, BPS Head Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti confirmed\nthe accuracy of the decline in the number of slum areas through a\nmethodology combining field data collection and satellite imagery.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe use two approaches, a direct field data collection approach\ncombined with calibration through satellite imagery methodology,\u201d said\nAmalia.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the data collection results we conducted, of course the total\nRW in DKI Jakarta is 2,749 RW and from the latest data collection\nresults conducted in 2025 and then finalised in 2026, those identified\nas slum RW are 211 slum RW,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n
Amalia detailed the criteria that can be classified into the slum\ncategory.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, the criteria for slum RT are 11. First is population density,\nsecond is building density, third is the construction of residential\nbuildings, then fourth is the condition of ventilation and lighting of\nresidential buildings, fifth is places for defecation, sixth is the\nmethod of waste disposal,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In addition to the initial six points, the eligibility criteria also\ntarget the frequency of waste collection, water channel conditions, road\ninfrastructure, public road lighting, and building space layout.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the essence is the slummyness of an RT which is then aggregated\ninto slum RW, not only seen from the form of buildings and building\ndensity and building eligibility conditions, but also seen from the\ncondition of environmental facilities and sanitation,\u201d said Amalia.<\/p>\n
Amalia added that the data collection synergy between BPS and Pemprov\nDKI Jakarta will not stop here.<\/p>\n
Amalia plans to follow up on thousands of other RW with the latest\nsatellite imagery overlay system to ensure the validity of residential\neligibility standards.<\/p>\n
\u201cBPS with DKI Jakarta will continue this good cooperation and we will\ncontinue it by overlaying 1,904 RW with satellite imagery results to\nensure which RW still need verification,\u201d she said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pramono-only-211-slum-rw-areas-remain-in-jakarta-1778162131", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
