Acknowledgements The End-Of-Project (EOP) Review report could not have been prepared without the

dedicated efforts of many officials and individuals, above all the various stakeholders in

Indonesia who provide the mission with a wealth of insights and experiences on the

flooding problem, urban water and sanitation issues in Jakarta.

The Mission merits a special appreciation to the Jakarta Coastal Defence Strategy project

team, who shared their knowledge and experiences with us. We are particular grateful to

the team leader whose expertise helped us to understand the problem, and for

introducing the team with the flood problems in the coastal area and organised a field

trip to visit the most critical parts of the Jakarta coast.

The Royal Netherlands Embassy in Jakarta provided the team with an excellent organised

mission agenda to allow us to visit and discuss the issues in a most effective and efficient

way.

Partners for Water/Agentschap NL officials who initiated and financed this mission were

very helpful in providing us the necessary information, preparatory and logistical support,

guidance during preparation and implementation of the review mission. We appreciate

the very open discussions we had during the introduction and preparatory phase of our

mission.

We are particularly indebted to the officials and individuals, both in the Netherlands and

Indonesia who have commented on the draft version of this report and provide us

additional input in order to develop, refine and finalise this report.

We hope that this report may form a sound basis for follow-up actions.

1 Introduction

1. A bilateral cooperation framework between the Government of Indonesia (GoI) and

the Government of the Netherlands (GoN) was agreed under the umbrella of

Partners for Water and is a valuable example for other countries coopering with the

Netherlands in the ‘Water Mondiaal’ and ‘Water OS’ programmes. A 4 Parties

Memorandum of Understanding (4PMoU) between Indonesian and Dutch ministries

was signed in 2007 specifying fields of collaboration within the water sector between

the two countries, among others flood management.

2. Within the bilateral cooperation framework a project digest was formulated in

November 2009 by the National Development Agency (Bappenas) with the following

components for collaboration:

a. A strategic plan providing realistic solutions for the future coastal defence of Jakarta as a first step and serving as a pilot project;

b. Expand the pilot to a master plan for coastal management and protection, covering the entire north coast of the island of Java.

3. From September 2010 to September 2011 the Jakarta Coastal Development Strategy

(JCDS) project was carried out. The formulation of the strategy of JCDS is based on

the so-called Triple-A concept. The results of the project are documented in three


reports, i.e. an Atlas, Agenda and Aturan-main (= Rules-of-the-game), consistent

with the Triple-A concept. The last version of the reports dated 30 September 2011.

4. The Atlas Report analyses the relevant facts, trends and underlying factors in a

comprehensive development context, as experienced by the stakeholders. The

Agenda Report describes the Strategic Direction that integrates technical

interventions and additional measures, which enhance the effectiveness, feasibility

and sustainability of the strategic direction. The Aturan-main (=Rules-of-the-game)

Report defines the mechanisms for implementation of the Agenda based on effective

multi-stakeholder participation in planning, investment and implementation,

including public-private partnership (PPP).

5. Three alternative Scenarios for the coastal defence system of Jakarta have been

elaborated. These three scenarios were merged into one development strategy that

contains basic elements of the three individual scenarios. The basic principles, the

key elements, additional measures, a phasing plan and a cost estimate were

presented in the Agenda. Each description is followed by an assessment of the

broader implications, and concluded with an evaluation of the effectiveness,

feasibility and sustainability of the proposed combined Scenario.

6. During his visit to Indonesia in July 2011, the Dutch vice-minister of Development

Cooperation committed a contribution of 4 million euro to the next stage of the

coastal defence of Jakarta. Early November 2011, during the meeting in the Hague

with representatives of some of the Indonesian authorities involved in the Jakarta

coastal development issue, it was intended to start the definition of the next stage,

or even to prepare the Terms of Reference for that stage. However, 'Water Mondiaal'

considers it a necessity to perform an End of Project (EOP) Review before moving to

the next stage. The aim of the EOP is to verify the sufficiency and consistency of the

existing approach, and when necessary or useful, to come up with suggestions for

complementary or alternative solutions.

7. The results of the EOP Review will provide a basic reference to define the scope of

the next phase or project(s), based on which a Terms of Reference (TOR) can be

formulated. In this way strategic and essential issues that were not addressed yet

during the previous phase can be identified and included in the TOR of the next

phase.

8. In view the urgency of having adequate measures to safeguard an acceptable flood

risk situation in the year 2025, as well as of the complexity of the problems to be

solved, it is worthwhile to review the results of the JCDS from another angle than the

mainly technological focus applied so far. The JCDS project projected solutions for

adequate reduction of flood risk, however, the financial, operational and institutional

feasibility of these solutions still require verification, confirmation or even

improvement. In addition, the focus of JCDS should be converted from 'hydraulics'

to 'economics, institution and operation'.

3 Background

Population Growth and Land Use.

16. Indonesia's capital Jakarta lays in the metropolitan area comprising of DKI Jakarta (the capital area), parts of Bogor District (West Java Province), parts of Tangerang

District (Banten Province) and Depok and Bekasi District (West Java Province),

hereinafter JABODETABEK. This metropolitan area has a population of about 16

million and is expected to grow to about 30 million by 2030. The percentage of

population below the poverty line is about 20%.

17. Jakarta's population growth is putting huge pressure on the urban environment. Traffic is gridlocked, air quality is at crisis point and Jakarta's rivers are choked with

human waste and garbage. Poor sanitation also creates serious health threats.

Population pressure converted half the city’s small lakes (waduk) into residential or


commercial areas, leading to severe reductions on retention capacity and increases

in peak flow discharges. At present less than 10% of DKI Jakarta area can be defined

as open and green areas, while such area should cover 30%, according to

government regulations.

18. As the built-up area expands, its water retention capacity for direct rainfall reduces while overflow of the 13 rivers and streams increases a runoff from the upper

watersheds increase due to deforestation and overbuilding in the Bogor and Puncak

areas. The upper watershed runoff has increasing sediment loads due to erosion and

landslides from the deforested build-up areas and, in turn, this exacerbates the

damage of flooding downstream. About 150,000 ha of the city are below 2m above

sea level: clearly, floods that coincide with high tide are further exacerbated by back-

up of the flow of rivers and drains.

Land subsidence due to uncontrolled groundwater abstraction

19. The World Bank supported JABOTABEK Water Resources management Study (1993-1995) under the Integrated Urban Infrastructure Development Project (IUIDP)

reported that rapid urbanization along with severe uncontrolled and over-extraction

of groundwater in areas not connected to the municipality water supply distribution

system leads to continuous subsidence of the ground surface. Over pumping of the

shallow and deep aquifers underlying the area causes land subsidence that, in turn,

exacerbates local flooding due to poor and impeded internal drainage and reduction

of outlet capacity. Failure to address groundwater abstraction controls could

exacerbate local flooding and traffic disruption from normal rainfall in the medium

term and require expensive “pumped polder” systems and large outlet infrastructure

over large areas.

20. The Dutch assisted “Non-structural Jakarta Flood Management” Project revealed that the coastal area in north Jakarta has reached a very critical level in terms of land

subsidence. Recent subsidence measurements indicate that a 2.5 cm/year

subsidence rate was too conservative and recommends that the value should be

considered much higher. Most experts assume a rate of 7.5 – 10 cm/year, but the

latest figures show that locally subsidence rates may reach 15 – 25 cm/year. This

will bring the northern parts of Jakarta some 4 to 5 metres below sea level in the 15

– 20 years to come. When subsidence is not stopped, by 2100 north Jakarta will sink

at least another 5-6 meters from 2010.

21. This will leads to impeded drainage even for normal rainfall and permanent inundations from the sea even at low tides. These areas will become unsuitable for

human settlements, unless a polder concept is being applied for these areas.

Urban Drainage and Flood Issues

22. JABOTABEK suffers from increasing damaging flooding. It lies in the downstream area of Cisadane and Ciliwung rivers’ watershed and is also transacted by 11 minor

streams which all discharge into the Jakarta Bay. Some of these rivers act as major

drains that carry the sewage and storm drainage flows generated in the urban area

as well as flood runoff from the watersheds. These normal and flood discharges are

also a major source of pollution in Jakarta Bay as they carry waste and pollutants

from storm drains that also serve as open sewers due to the absence of a sewerage

system in most of JABOTABEK, with possible exception of part of the Jakarta Central

Business District (CBD), whose effluents discharge into the larger open drains and

rivers.

23. From its beginnings Jakarta has been prone to flooding due to its unfavourably low location on the coast of the Java Sea. It is located within the river basin of several


rivers transporting large amounts of water. Over the years the water contains more

and more silt and sediments, while the peak flows becoming higher and skewed.

Most of these changes in flow pattern are due to developments in the upstream parts

of the river basins. For the past decade, climate change has probably also

contributed to a change in river flows due to higher rainfall intensity and thus higher

peak flows.

24. These changes in rainfall pattern and river flow characteristic together with land subsidence in North Jakarta have created a major challenge for the drainage system

of DKI Jakarta. Because of land subsidence the natural outflow into the sea does not

exist anymore at many sea-outfalls. Although technically speaking engineering

solutions for the banjir (flood) problem may be identified, these will require

enormous amounts of funding, apart from the question of their social and

environmentally feasibility.

25. The reduction of open space and green area also affected the drainage flow pattern in DKI Jakarta. The direct runoff within the city is much higher than originally

estimated for the design of the drainage system. In addition, the drainage system

itself is very much affected by land subsidence leading to low and ineffective

performance of the system.

26. Any structural solution and adjustment of the physical infrastructure to appropriate protection levels will require careful economic, financial and social trade-offs. If

financial and social constraints require a lower standard, then an enforceable system

of non-structural flood control measures (flood insurance, flood proofing, and flood

zoning) which, to date have been inconceivable and/or for which no appropriate

urban and regional institution exists, should be seriously considered.

27. The Ministry of Public Works and DKI are required to maintain flood control infrastructure, but actual budgetary allocations are substantially lower than what is

needed to maintain the system. This has resulted in huge sediment and solid waste

build-up in floodways and drains, reducing protection levels from 25 years to less

than five years. DKI’s flood control systems are also adversely affected by weak

enforcement of spatial plans and building regulations and uncontrolled abstraction of

groundwater. With assistance from donors, including the Government of the

Netherlands (GoN), the backlog of maintenance dredging will be addressed during

the next ten years. In addition, new canals will be constructed to increase

conveyance capacity of the urban drainage system.

28. The issue of sustainable of any design standard is a major problem where no agency accepts or is allocated operational responsibility for maintenance and/or inadequate

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) funding is provided. Maintenance neglect and lack

of a sustainable fiscal framework for O&M is as large a cause of flooding through

under-capacity as any physical or land-use control reason.

Astronomic Tide

29. Whenever the Java Sea rises during the monthly lunar tidal cycle, water rushes inland and inundates parts of Muara Baru, which like 40 percent of Jakarta, and most

of North Jakarta, lies below sea level. Within 10 years from now it will be at the

mercy of an upswing in the tides unless city and national government officials finally

do something about it. International experts predict tides will surge far inland

without a proper sea defence system in place. The areas of the city most vulnerable

to tidal flooding are Muara Baru, Muara Karang, Penjaringan, Pademangan, Tanjung

Priok, Pluit, Koja and Kapuk Muara. Most are industrial areas surrounded by densely

populated villages.


30. Astronomic tidal fluctuation in the Bay of Jakarta has an 18.6 year cycle. On November 26, 2007 the astronomic cycle peaked in conjunction with annual spring

tides and resulted in damaging floods from the sea that were largely unexpected. So

far, it was assumed by the local government and community that Jakarta was only

threatened by rain induced floods. A recent study on Flood Hazard Mapping clearly

showed that from 2007 Jakarta will be severely threatened by floods from the sea as

well. Although the astronomic tidal cycle will retreat in the coming years after

reaching its peak in 2007, the inundations from the sea will continue because of the

ongoing land subsidence in the northern part of the city. Moreover, flooding will still

occur when rain induced floods coincide with high spring tides. The cycle will start

rising again in about 4 years from now and tidal floods will become particularly

severe again. This extreme tide is also described in “Tidal Dynamics” by Fergus J.

Wood (1986) as “Extreme Proxigean Spring Tides” that may cause severe flooding

along the coast. The peak of the next tidal cycle is expected in 2025 to occur.

31. Continuous subsidence of the northern part of Jakarta combined with, and the expected rising limb of the astronomic tides over 4 years from now ultimately leading

to the next Proxigean tidal period in 2025-2026, and the sea level rise as result of

climate change, and changing rainfall pattern and intensity due to climate change,

will cause disastrous flooding in North Jakarta. Although the predicted figures for the

sea level rise in the Bay of Jakarta is still far from accurate, some allowance for this

phenomenon should be taken into consideration.

32. While many engineering design studies have been done in the past, these have not considered the outfall difficulties and resulting backwater impact on internal drains

that arise from the large tidal fluctuation in the Jakarta Bay and river estuaries. As

has been pointed out in the JCDS study to protect the coastal area of DKI will require

very large quantities of outfall pumping and huge low-lift pumping stations. These

will increase costs and require failsafe and fully reliable operation.

Urban Development and Management

33. As the past flood protection and control measures were often strongly lacking behind the rapid growth of the city – parts of them being implemented when the city

population and built area were extended already two to three times – comprehensive

water and urbanization planning should be aimed for. Continuous future development

of DKI Jakarta will require large flood control and flood risk management

investments. Although many small and large water infrastructure improvements are

in the course of being and/or being implemented in Jakarta, the overall aim of a

holistic approach for DKI Jakarta urban development should be to tackle the problem

based on a comprehensive cultural, water catchment area and urban development

plan.

34. Future DKI Urban Planning and Management now become more important to 21st century democratic Jakarta than it was in implementing the competing colonial and

nationalist visions of the 20th. This has been realized by the municipal governments

of DKI since the last decade. This can be seen in the carefully crafted “Strategic Plan”

being the basis to frame development of the spatial plan of Jakarta 2030. Lingering

effects of the economic crisis limited the city’s financial capacity to address

longstanding infrastructure needs.

35. To accommodate the continuous population growth of the city, and the demands of new commercial development, every piece of land was used to its maximum. This

has led to the disappearance of open and green spaces previously functioning as

detention or temporary storage for overland flow during heavy rainfall. Further loss


of open and green spaces came about through the conversion of government owned

parks to other land uses, such as schools, mosques, parking lots and commercial

facilities.

36. A large scale new development plan for the city was a plan for a new waterfront city located along the North Jakarta coast, comprising of a total area of about 2,700

hectares reclaimed from the Jakarta Bay. The Jakarta Waterfront Project was a

national undertaking, and was approved through the Presidential Decree No

52/1995, that placed responsibility for the development within the DKI Governor’s

office. It involved the creation of a new area of high-rise buildings, including

revitalisation of the historic areas in North Jakarta and expansion of the recreational

facilities along the northern coast. It was intended to be developed by private

developers applying state of the art infrastructure technology.

37. The plan for the 2,700 hectares, as scheduled for development in the 1985-2005 spatial plan was to use nearly 50% of the land for residential development, 15% for

commercial and industrial uses, approx. 5% to expand the port facilities, 14% for

general facilities, and the remaining 16% for green areas, including the creation of a

mangrove forest to protect the coastline against erosion. Work on the North Jakarta

land reclamation began in 1996.

38. The city’s 1985-2005 spatial plan drawn up in the early 1980s was revised again in 1997. The revised plan was to guide the development of Jakarta until 2010 and

included some reconsiderations of the basic assumptions of the initial 1985 plan, for

example existing population density was given due consideration when planning new

developments. Private investments are now actively being encouraged for the

development of new reclaimed areas along the North Coast and are expected to

continue for the next decades to come. However, a concerted coordination effort is

essential for all on-going and future public and private coastal development

activities.

39. The Spatial Plan Jakarta 2030 underscore the problems of limited water supply, annual flooding, inadequate garbage and sewage management, and the continuing

challenge of providing enough decent and affordable housing for low income families.

But what is notable about this plan is its emphasis placed on the environmental

deficiencies in the JABOTABEK area, particularly DKI Jakarta, that involve more than

just poor infrastructure service. A lack of open space and massive air and water

pollution problems topped the list. Like problems in most metropolitan cities, the

plan observes that Jakarta faces a problem of limited open space” largely because it

is being crowded out by economic activities. Air and water pollution, including

industrial waste, are cited as related environmental deficiencies.

40. The rapid loss of the open spaces and green areas means that even mid storm events result in excess water that cannot be naturally absorbed or retained. A

system of key flood gates exists in some of the urban area canals and retention

ponds. However, these suffer from blockage and may not be properly operated in a

regional manner as they were designed for a smaller colonial Jakarta and are not

operationally adapted to the present land-use or present urban flood hydrology.

Recent storms in the last decade thus brought out the consequences of a failure to

follow a logical urban development zoning plan in a natural floodway area. Certainly,

a more integrated operation of the floodwater regulation network is required,

especially one that reflects a consensus between upstream and downstream

communities.

41. Due to watershed degradation and urbanisation, the flood peaks and damages may continue to increase while internal and main drain outflow congestion becomes

worse, as outlined earlier. While many rightly point to watershed degradation as a


major contributing factor to flooding, field conditions seem to imply that diversion of

flood flows out of the Ciliwung River near Bogor to the Cisadane River may not

greatly reduce flood damage from rainfall and poor internal drainage within the

Jakarta urban area. Although, a Western Diversion Canal (West Banjir Canal) was

constructed in 1919 and the Cengkareng Floodway in 1982, the growth of the city

has greatly outstripped its service area. Furthermore, these floodways, rivers and

major drains have a reduced capacity due to a combination of river bed

aggradations, siltation and solid waste dumping. Floodway encroachment through

unauthorised development and squatting further reduce capacity and increase the

physical, social and economic costs of flooding. Thus a combination of physical

factors, neglect and, inaction have contributed to duration, frequency and spatial

extent of flooding in the DKI Jakarta area.

42. Recently, an Eastern Diversion Canal (East Banjir Canal) was constructed to protect certain areas in the North-Eastern part of Jakarta. This may lead to reduction of flood

damages in those areas. Maintaining its service level is key.

Institution and Management Issues

43. The Ministry of Public Works (MPW) and DKI are responsible for managing Jakarta’s flood control system. MPW is responsible for floodways that cross provincial

boundaries, while the Public Works Department of DKI (DPU-DKI) is responsible for

drains and retention basins within its boundaries. A MPW flood control project unit

was established in 1965 to undertake planning, implementation and O&M for

JABOTABEK.

44. A basin management unit, Balai Besar Cisadane-Ciliwung was set up in 2006 under DGWR in MPW. This new agency is responsible to operate and maintain flood drains,

detention ponds, pumping plants, etc and carry out flood warning. Its funding is from

central government (APBN) budgets while DKI Jakarta, Banten and West Java

governments have limited involvement or control.

45. The Project Concept Note prepared in 2007 for the Jakarta Emergency Dredging Initiative (JEDI), listed the following institutional root causes of flooding in the

JABOTABEK area

• Lack of enforcement of regulations on groundwater abstraction. DKI prohibits

groundwater abstraction without a license. In practice, this regulation is not

enforced.

• Lack of enforcement of spatial plans and building regulations. Regulation of

buildings according to a spatial plan (based on floodplain management) is not

carried out or enforced. Furthermore, new housing developments within and

around Jakarta have not been regulated by a spatial plan designed to ensure

retention of adequate green areas that would have stored and absorbed normal

flood runoff. The increased paving resulting from extensive build-up of housing

and roads further reduces soil capacity to store rainfall and exacerbates runoff

within the city. The lack of enforcement of building regulations also contributes

the land subsidence, riverbank encroachment, and the rapid disappearance of

waduk.

• Limited coverage of solid waste collection services. At present, the Cleaning

Department of DKI Jakarta collects less than 40% of solid waste that is

generated within its boundaries. In the absence of alternative options for waste

disposal, the remainder is discarded in uncontrolled dumpsites or into the city’s

canals and lakes, thereby clogging floodways and drains.

• Insufficient funding for operations and maintenance. Actual O&M budgets of

MPW and DPU-DKI are substantially lower than budgets required to properly


maintain the infrastructure (in 2002, NEDECO estimated that spending by DKI on

routine maintenance was less than 10% of the required amount).

• Limited technical expertise. The organizations responsible for flood control

systems in Greater Jakarta lack the technical expertise to manage these systems

according to the standards needed for a metropolitan area of Jakarta’s size. At

present, there are no structural systems for annual inspections of flood control

systems, flood preparation drills, or collection of flood data (such as post-flood

mapping). In addition, flood warning and disaster management systems are not

well developed or effectively operated.

• Lack of enforcement of forest law and regulations. After many years of illegal

logging, most forests in the Ciliwung River Basin have disappeared. A planned

reforestation program, which would mitigate erosion along the river and its

tributaries, has not been implemented.

• Insufficient funding for investments in new flood control infrastructure. Because

of budget constraint, national and sub-national governments spend available

funds almost exclusively to operations and maintenance.

• Lack of coordination between authorities responsible for water resources

management. No platform exists for the coordination of the planning, operation

and maintenance of the entire flood control system among the various national

and sub-national governments responsible for water resources management

(including activities closely related thereto, such as solid waste management).

• Lack of incentives for interregional coordination. At present, provinces,

kabupaten and kota in upstream areas do not have financial or other incentives

to mitigate floods that mainly affect citizens outside their jurisdictions.

• Absence of political leadership to address the above issues in integrated manner.

This is perhaps the important constraint to the mitigation of Jakarta’s annual

floods.

46. Although many of these issues have been given more attention in the various project initiatives during the last years, many of these institutional arrangements that has

been included or initiated needs further development, facilitation and guidance to

become a sustainable institutional instrument and platform for collaboration and

coordination.

4 Approach and Methods

47. The approach and methods applied for the mission’s review is in accordance to the Scope of Works as specified in the Terms of Reference. It consists of the following

activities

• review of the documents produced under the JCDS project, viz. the Atlas, Agenda

and Aturan Main;

• interview the JCDS consultants, key staff of institutions concerned (stakeholders)

and other relevant resource persons on their vision of the results of the JCDS

project as well as on the follow up;

• receive and elaborate reactions of these key staff on its assessment, alternatives

and suggestions;

• Review and assess the results of the interviews and findings during the Mission’s

visit to the field and the key stakeholders;

• on the basis of its objective review and assessment propose suggestions or

alternatives for follow up on the results of the JCDS project;

• produce a final End-Of-Project Review Mission report;

• report to Agentschap NL and to the Netherlands Embassy in Jakarta.

A list of institutions visited and officials interviewed is attached in Annex A.


48. The interviews and discussions with the stakeholders are mainly based on the following issues:

• How far is the JCDS study complete,

• What items/aspects are missing in the study,

• Suggestions on next steps to be taken,

• Constraints of the presents approach,

• How to raise the level of JCDS results from “Hydraulics” to “Economics”,

• What factors affect the financial, operational & institutional feasibility of the

implementation phase?

• What options for implementation mechanisms can be considered in addition to or

instead of governmental assignments?

• Who is the legal owner of the future flood management system as proposed by

the JCDS study?

• Is the PPP concept a viable option for public infrastructure such as flood defence

and management systems? How to attract the private sector to invest in these

Public Infrastructure?

• Who should operate and manage the flood defence assets/structures after

completion of the works, including operation and maintenance?

• Who should be actively involved and/or supervise the Master Plan Studies

activities? Which organisation should take the lead? Input for the organisation

structure? Are there existing Project Management Units (PMUs) and/or Project

Implementation Units (PIUs) or other existing organisations that are potential

embryos for the required organisations?

5 Findings and Assessment

The results of the interviews and discussions with the selected key stakeholders are

presented below, together with an assessment of the issue.

GENERAL

49. Much appreciation for the reports produced by the JCDS team.

All the key stakeholders appreciate the JCDS Reports, especially the Atlas. The

Agenda gives a clear message of the urgency of the situation, while the Aturan Main

gives suggestions on how to proceed further particularly in view of the many ongoing

and planned sector master plans for DKI Province. Unfortunately, many of the key

stakeholders received the reports just recently in January 2012, except for DKI.

50. The Aturan Main is mainly considered as an overview of normative

procedures.

During the discussions with the stakeholders it appears that some consider the

Aturan Main as an academic and normative document, since the procedures as

described in the report have not been tested in the field. The question “how to make

all these happen” is still not clear, e.g. how to do, who is doing what, who should

take initiative and who should lead. The realisation and implementation of these

procedures may be more difficult and complicated, as it involved cross sectoral and

even cross administrative boundaries. Experiences to arrive at sustainable structures

so far are very limited, if any at all.

51. Ownership at the various key stakeholders is low, except from DKI and

perhaps Bappenas.

Participatory approaches were mentioned in the report, however evident are not

included in the report that support the participatory processes, e.g. signed

declaration by the key stakeholders. Perhaps, only workshop/presentation/Q&A

sessions were used to inform the status of the project. According to Menko, they

were not “involved” but “informed” in January 2012.


52. Status of the JCDS Reports and project are unclear.

The mission didn’t find a formal project completion report. Any project can only be

considered complete when a project completion report is submitted and approved by

the client. There is confusion about the next steps and on who should take decision

on the next steps. The report mentioned a steering committee. In addition, the

composition of the steering committee is not reported in any of the reports.

Bappenas will soon arrange a steering committee meeting to discuss the JCDS

reports.

53. Owner of the computer models and data collected during the previous and

next phases of the JCD project should be decided upon.

So far, the developed models and data are fragmented but mainly controlled by the

consultants. There is a request from Puslitbang Air in Bandung (Hydraulic research

Agency of MPW), PUSAir on behalf of the GoI to own the developed material and

collected data and the results of the data processing. This is essential for future

operation and maintenance and management of the coastal defence assets. It is

suggested to appoint PUSAir, as the owner the material, data and information.

Obviously, a transfer programme to acquaint PUSAir staff with the models, data and

other information bases is necessary.

54. Statements in the JCDS reports that the various solutions are feasible and

sustainable without economic analysis is premature.

Feasibility and sustainability of investments depends on many aspects, not only

financial and technical, but also on the institutional aspects, in particular related to

operation and management of the investments, including maintenance. In general,

many large investments in infrastructure projects were based on feasibility and

sustainability analysis on paper only. During the operation phase, however, the

realized projects fail to perform as expected because of weak institutional

arrangements that should take over the infrastructure after construction is

completed. Particularly public infrastructure is very sensitive to the capacity of the

organisation in charge of O&M. Capacity to manage, financial capacity, organisational

capacity including human resources.

These aspects have also received limited attention during this JCDS study.

Institutional arrangement is essential before taken up next activities, as has been

stressed by several stakeholders. Experiences learned that especially when many

institutions and government administrations are involved, arranging an institution

that has the overall responsibility including O&M, is very complicated. Since these

issues were not addressed during the JCDS study, the statements on feasibility and

sustainability of components of the proposed infrastructure are considered

premature.

55. A Zero-option or do-nothing scenario is missing.

Although this may be not feasible from political point of view, a do-nothing scenario

should be addressed as a benchmark when comparing various future options to

underscore the need for urgent actions.

56. Other possible options to solve the flood problems in North Jakarta need to

be addressed, even if they are (for the time being) not considered feasible

from e.g., political point or other of views.

More options could be generated, apart than those reported in the reports. And those

considered should be well documented, even if rejected. Possible options to reduce

or mitigate flood damage, such as the creation of compartments in the Jakarta Bay

or others could be considered. Other more “soft” solutions, such as controlled or

elegant retreat to a more sustainable controlled defence line may be considered

taking the necessary socio-economic issues such as well managed, organised and

social acceptable relocation of the community, etc. into consideration.


57. The existing sea-wall/flood protection system needs routine monitoring to

reduce the impact of sudden failure and short term repair work should be

carried out.

During the field visit by (part of) the Mission it was observed that at some locations,

under seepage carrying soil particles. This may lead to undermining of the existing

seawall, ultimately leading to collapse of the seawall. This also implies that under

seepage (piping) is a highly potential failure mechanism of the existing seawall that

could occur before a failure due to overtopping. This requires urgent attention and

close observations. Where possible repair works should be carried out.

INTEGRATION AND SYNCHRONISATION

58. Integration and synchronisation with other sectoral master plans is

essential, especially with those that are closely related with and/or affected

by the flood defence system for the coast of DKI Jakarta in the Jakarta Bay.

The Japanese government supported the study on the Metropolitan Priority Areas

(MPA) executed by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs (Menko Ekon).

Upon informed about the JCDS study in November 2012, Menko Ekon has decided

that JCDS should be part of MPA (and thus of MP3EI). In addition, a recent Master plan for

Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia Economic Development (MP3EI) 2011 –

2025 was completed and endorsed in May 2011. This is an umbrella national master

plan of which the MPAs are part of it. The MP3EI includes the economic development

in the DKI Jakarta Province. Menko Ekon stressed that any plans related to economic

development of the DKI Jakarta Province should be in line with the MP3EI. Further

development of sewerage and drainage systems in DKI Jakarta is being addressed in

the MPA. This includes reforming the flood control system, solid and liquid waste

disposal systems, and developing new sources for clean water supply.

Other ongoing or upcoming master plans include, DKI Jakarta Spatial Plan 2030,

Transportation systems (road and railways, Mass Rapid Transport systems, etc.) in

and around DKI, Water Supply and Sanitation, Urban Drainage and Flood

Management, Reclamation of the coastal area of DKI Jakarta, other regional master

plans (West Java, Banten) etc., and the Java Economic Corridor plan as outlined in

the MP3EI. All stakeholders agree that there should be a link between the JCD

initiative and the other master sectoral and regional plans.

Some stakeholders suggest, instead of a JCD master plan, to develop an integrated

master plan for the development of Jakarta Bay (and North Jakarta) where the

coastal defence system is instrumental to the development of the area. Other

stakeholders suggest an Urban Drainage and Flood Master Plan that includes flooding

from the sea, because of some hydraulic inter-relation between river flows and

downstream condition in the Jakarta Bay.

59. An overall Integrated Flood Management Plan for DKI Jakarta could be

considered.

Ideally, an overall Integrated Flood Management plan for DKI Jakarta should be

developed that includes (1) urban drainage from local rainfall, (2) river floods from

the rivers flowing through the area, and (3) flooding from the sea. In this way the

drainage and flood issues can be integrated into one comprehensive flooding master

plan for DKI Jakarta. From hydraulic point of view these flood management

components are linked to each other. Example, water level control in the bay of

Jakarta influences the performance of the city drainage system and the rivers flowing

into the bay (Lower Boundary of the flows). This Integrated Flood Management (IFM)

Master plan should also connect the elements relevant to drainage and flood with the

other sectoral and regional master plans.


An additional role of an IFM Master Plan could be to integrate elements for all other

sectoral and regional plans. This integrated and comprehensive flood management

master plan is worth to be considered that take the whole water cycle into

consideration.

60. On the long term there is a need for an overall outline plan for future flood

protection of the North coast of Java. This has been requested before by the

State Agency for National Development (Bappenas). This has not been addressed in

the JCDS study yet. The requested overall plan should be conceptual only without

too much engineering details. It should give an overall big picture of the future north

coast of Java.

TECHNICAL/ENGINEERING

61. The Technical analysis presented in the Agenda is considered a wake-up

call. The options are clear and straightforward with good indications of the

costs. Focus was too much placed on technical engineering solutions.

All the stakeholders expressed their opinion that the study is more focussed on the

hydraulic engineering. The “soft” elements, such as social, institutional, operation

and maintenance, operational cost recovery, financing, organisation and human

resources, etc., were insufficiently addressed. In general, engineering solutions often

fail to operate successfully, exactly because these “soft” elements were not given

proper attention, if any at all. Results are often low quality structures, in poor

condition and neglect because of organisational and budgetary reasons. In case of

the proposed coastal defence system, poor operation and maintenance is considered

a clear and high risk for failure of the system, leading to a disaster that will be much

larger than under current conditions.

62. The urgency to have a protection system ready by 2025 was not clearly

described in this report.

The previous study explained the critical year of 2025 from hydraulic & tidal point of

view. The year 2025 is used as a milestone in the roadmap of the coastal

development. Menko thought that the year 2025 coincide with the end of the MP3EI

Programme. The Mission suggests including the tidal analysis to explain the year

2025 as a critical year. In this way, the sense of urgency to have a protection system

in place could be enhanced and stressed.

63. The next phase should address some additional construction phase aspects

of the structures, e.g. source of borrow material for the future sea dike,

location to dispose contaminated dredged spoil during construction,

including the related environmental impacts, qualification of contractors,

quality control during construction, etc.

Environmental issues were discussed at KLH and the Ministry of Marine Affairs and

Fisheries. Huge amounts of and clay material will be needed for construction of the

sea dike. The unit rates should reflect the distance to the borrow area for suitable fill

material. Most likely, the deposits in the Jakarta Bay are heavily contaminated. If

dredging works are required, an analysis of the dredged spoil should be carried out,

based on which additional measures should be developed to minimise the risk of

environmental degradation in and around the disposal area of the contaminated

dredged spoil.

64. Construction aspects of offshore construction works are complicated and

minimal experience, if any exists in Indonesia to construct these types of

works. Proper construction practices according to international established quality

standards are considered essential to guarantee the intended long term service level

of the flood defence system. International partnerships between national and


international contractors are most probably required, based on a joint venture (risk

sharing) concept, or others. Are the existing regulations sufficient to cover these

types of complicated construction works? How can the quality of the construction

works be assured? Are the existing Indonesian standards for engineering design and

construction of civil works sufficient? If not, what standards should be applied?

65. Land-subsidence is the root cause of vulnerability of the coastal area of DKI

Jakarta to flooding from the sea.

All the key stakeholders agree on this fact. Also that the main cause of this

subsidence is most probably uncontrolled deep groundwater extraction. The absence

of effective regulatory institutions, not only for land-use control, but also for

groundwater extraction, poor incentive mechanisms coupled with poor urban

sanitation is causing both a degradation of groundwater quality, saline intrusion into

the aquifer in addition to land subsidence. Even after groundwater extraction is

completely stopped, settlement of the sub-soil will most probably continue for some

time due to secondary consolidation effects.

66. The core problem of land-subsidence and groundwater extraction is lack of reliable, clean and affordable water supply for this area.

Groundwater extraction and land subsidence can only be stopped if an adequate,

affordable and reliable (both in quantitative and qualitative sense) alternative water

supply system is developed in addition to the current (inadequate and insufficient)

water supply system.

Potential water source from the Jatiluhur Reservoir in West Java could provide the

need for clean water for DKI Jakarta, including the northern area. Studies have been

carried out to construct a second conveyance system from the Jatiluhur Reservoirs

since 1977. Until to date, 45 years later, these plans are still being studied. Although

groundwater constitutes about 20% of the current Jakarta water supply, replacement

of these groundwater sources and natural urban growth will imply a 100% increase

in surface water imports from West Java and Banten by 2020. Taking the history of

slow clean water supply development for DKI into consideration, a rapid increase in

bulk water supply for this area from Jatiluhur or the Cisadane River and the many

house connections in this area within 5 to 10 years from now is considered a major

challenge , even if the now planned ADB projects are implemented and turn out to

be successful.

Identifying other sources for bulk water for North Jakarta to accelerate the process

should be considered, for example desalinisation or reuse of river/drainage water.

67. Any new structural solution and adjustment of the physical infrastructure to

appropriate flood protection levels will require careful economic, financial

and social trade-offs.

If financial and social constraints require a lower service level, then an enforceable

system of non-structural flood control measures (flood insurance, flood-proofing and

flood zoning) should be developed which, to date have been inconceivable and/or for

which no appropriate urban and regional institution yet exists!

ENVIRONMENT

68. Interventions in the Jakarta Bay by the JCD works should not disturb

existing development plans of Tanjung Priok Harbour.

According to Bappenas, Tanjung Priok harbour will expand to Kali Baru under Pelindo

2. There are possibilities that the harbour will further develop to become a deep sea

harbour. Future coastal defence works should consider these possibilities and if

possible it should enhance the harbour development plans. Close collaboration and


coordination with the Tanjung Priok Harbour Authority (Pelindo 2) is essential in any

future planning of Jakarta Bay development.

69. Impact of the future coastal interventions should take Coastal Morphology

into consideration.

Sediments of the rivers flowing into the Jakarta Bay and the longitudinal drift along

the coast are most probably in natural balance. The Ministry of Marine Affairs and

Fisheries and the State Ministry of the Environment (KLH) stressed that any

disturbance in the sediment balance of the coastal zone needs careful analysis,

especially since it may influence the entrance channel of the harbour Tanjung Priok

(sedimentation?) and failure of coastal structures due to coast erosion. The impact

may reach areas outside the project areas.

70. River water quality and sanitation management are essential elements for

the coastal defence system.

Menko Ekon pointed out that the problem is not only flooding but also public health is

an important aspect to take into consideration during the next phases. Failure to do

so may lead to a situation that could be worse than the current situation, taking into

consideration the discharge of the rivers flowing into the bay that bring liquid and

solid waste and also (contaminated) sediments. Together with proper water supply

for the northern part of Jakarta in order to halt land-subsidence because of

uncontrolled groundwater abstraction, a well designed and implemented Water

Supply and Sanitation Master Plan is essential.

71. Creating a fresh water lake in the Jakarta Bay as raw water source for clean

water purposes is a myth.

There were strong indications that most of the key stakeholders expect that the JCD

system designed as a completely closed system will create a fresh water lake in the

enclosed bay area. Taken the sanitation condition, the water quality of the rivers

flowing into the bay, the contamination of the accumulated deposits in the bay over

the years, it is considered most unlikely that the water quality in the enclosed bay

meet the quality standard of bulk water for clean water supply. At least not within

the coming 50 years.

SOCIAL

72. It is essential that all proposed solutions and mitigation measures

incorporate a social and poverty alleviation dimension to ensure some

equity in the distribution of benefits of future investments.

The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries is concerned about the social impact on

the community living in the coastal area currently protected by the seawall as result

of the various development scenarios as proposed to be taken up in the next phase.

Example, the fisheries community, the fishing load and unloading facilities, and the

fish processing infrastructure. How to maintain the community jobs and income,

including the supporting and logistic facilities and labour. Should they be

compensated, relocated or giving opportunities for re-schooling to prepare

themselves for other profession? The same concern was also expressed by the State

Ministry of the Environment (KLH).

73. Give special attention to Sunda Kelapa Harbour. Maintain its cultural

heritage function.

This is a cultural heritage area of DKI Jakarta and a famous tourist attraction. Almost

all stakeholders visited expressed the need to maintain the current status of Sunda

Kelapa Harbour. Its function should remain intact and if possible enhanced by the

development in the Jakarta Bay area.


74. Reduce the vulnerability of the urban poor living in coastal flood prone areas.

These segments of the poor in North Jakarta are most vulnerable to flooding. Flood

impacts this group mainly in terms of public health, economic activity and material

losses. Loss of life is another potential impact including due to infection by water-

borne diseases and water pollution. Given the high population density in these areas,

even small-scale floods may cause substantial damage and human suffering. Both

the incorporation of people-centered approaches to community-based management

of disaster risk, and the integration of disaster-risk management strategies into

social-economic development planning, is critical for effective flood management. To

ensure preparedness of these communities, in-situ flood management approaches

should include participatory flood planning and management that involve the lowest

public institution and the community. Communities should be empowered to develop

their own hazard mapping and evacuation strategy. These strategies should be given

proper attention. Community leaders together with community-based organisations

and organisers can perform a critical service in reducing community risks and

vulnerability and increase the community resiliency to disasters.

INSTITUTIONS

75. Institutional aspects were weakly addressed in the JCDS study. This is one

of THE most essential components to be given due attention in the next

phases of the project.

This component is in general often neglected in many of the previous drainage and

flood protection projects or initiatives for DKI Jakarta. This institution or organisation

to be established represents the Legal Owner of the Flood Defence System. The

Legal Owner should take over the system as soon as it is completed, and is

responsible for proper operation of the system and keeping the service level of the

system at the agreed design level. This can only be achieved through proper

maintenance, including budgeting and cost recovery mechanisms by applying a

sustainable fiscal framework and O&M organisation. This institution or organisation

should be established at the start of the next phase and should be involved in all

future development phases of the coastal defence system as owner. The owner or its

representatives should be involved during programming, planning, detailed

engineering design, procurement of the works, construction, and operation of

maintenance of the completed work. Setting up an O&M organisation after the

construction work as proposed in the Aturan Main is TOO LATE!

76. The issue of sustainability of any engineering design standard is a major

problem where no agency accepts or is allocated operational responsibility

for maintenance and/or inadequate O&M funding is provided.

Experiences clearly showed that maintenance neglect and lack of a sustainable fiscal

framework and organization for Operation & Maintenance is as large a cause of

flooding through under-capacity as any physical or land-use control reason! This is

an essential aspect that has to be given a high priority in the next phase of the

project and beyond. The Mission believes that new flood defence infrastructure

without proper maintenance will only increase the vulnerability of the area it intends

to protect.

77. Establishment of an agency, organisation, institution or committee (inter-

government) with management authority in programming and planning

development, regulating, operating and maintaining the coastal defence

infrastructure, including the river mouths flowing into the Jakarta Bay and

non-structural flood control programmes is essential before embarking on

the new phase of development programming, planning, preparation,

detailed engineering design, construction, operation and maintenance.


This new institution is responsible—under a project funding approach—to operate

and maintain flood defence system in the coastal areas, drains, detention ponds,

pumping plants, etc and, carry out flood warning. The Mission’s opinion is that

without such an agency, the difficult political-economic and sustainability issues

presented by the technical solutions cannot be overcome in the long-run. Moreover,

a viable policy of cost recovery for O&M, flood warning, flood relief and disaster

management must be instituted if physical structures are to maintain their design

capacity and functionality under changing demographics, poverty alleviation and

economic development scenarios.

78. A Presidential Decree to establish such an institute is required.

On request of Bappenas the mission has drafted the first draft outline of such a

decree and submitted to Bappenas 2 weeks after the field mission in Jakarta.

Internal review (Bappenas and Menko Ekon) will reveal the detailed content and the

procedures to approve the decree and its endorsement by the GoI. A Presidential

decree or regulation is required since the intervention in the Jakarta Bay cut across

many sectors, administration boundaries, ministries and departments. The role of the

new institution should be clearly defined, its responsibilities, authority and source of

operational funding during and reaching far beyond the project phase.

79. Sustainability of the Coastal Defence System depends on the capacity of the

institution in charge with operation and maintenance.

The key stakeholders and the Mission agree that the capacity of the institution in

charge with O&M, owner and asset manager, is essential and should be given due

attention from the very beginning of the project cycle. Capacity of the institution

includes capacity to manage including human resources required, monitor and

evaluate, maintain the service level, and financial capability to generate income

through a series of mechanisms, including government subsidies and the

development and application of fiscal and financial instruments to recover the O&M

cost and to do some investments to maintain and even improve the service level of

the system. A comprehensive capacity building programme should be developed

from the beginning of the next phase, with special emphasis placed on asset

management. Capacity building in this case includes legal and regulatory

instruments, organisational set-up and operational procedures, and human resources

management and development.

80. Encouragement of the private sector to invest in opportunities and, if

possible public infrastructure is essential and should be given special

attention in the next phase to arrive at PPP concepts.

Almost all stakeholders are of the opinion that development of the Jakarta Bay create

opportunities for private investors to participate in the development programme.

Obviously private investors are mainly interested in commercial based opportunities,

such as land reclamation. However, ways need to be identified how private investors

can be stimulated to participate as partner with the government to invest in public

infrastructure. Alternatively, fiscal and financial instruments should be developed

that the beneficiaries of the development of public infrastructure direct or indirectly

contribute in a full cost recovery scheme. The Mission suggests that PPP concepts for

the development and O&M for the future coastal defence system should be

elaborated in detail during the next phase. So far, PPP in public infrastructure in

Indonesia is rare.

81. Weak institutions will increase the risk of flood disasters in the area.

Weak performance of the institution/organisation in charge for supervision

engineering design, construction of physical works, and operation and maintenance

of a sophisticated flood defence system will increase the risk of failure of the system.

Instead of reducing the existing risk, we only increase the vulnerability of the

existing and the future developed area (encouraged as result of the new flood


defence infrastructure in the false believe that it will provide better protection) in the

Jakarta bay.

6 Recommendations

Based on the findings, discussions and experiences with large public infrastructure

development in Indonesia, the Mission recommends the following for consideration for

the preparation of the next phase:

82. Address the current status of the JCDS activities and its reporting.

83. From now on, key Indonesian stakeholders (government and non-government) should be in the driver seat of the development of North Jakarta and the required

infrastructure to protect the area from flooding. A clear transparent participative

approach should be developed and applied. Essential drive is a “Political will” of all

stakeholders involved.

84. A project promoter, e.g. a prominent political authority or a commission of “wise” people should be established who promote and championed the development of

North Jakarta. They should be supported by communication strategies for the various

stakeholders, e.g. legislatives at central and provincial levels, private investors,

NGOs, the press and the civil society. Example communicate opportunity for

development of the Jakarta Bay instead of the danger of flooding; those

development needs infrastructure, including flood protection.

85. Much more attention should be given to the institutional arrangement that is required in order to operate and maintain the new and rehabilitated drainage and

flood infrastructure. A transition from Engineering to a Governance Model is essential

during the next phase.

86. Develop and implement a non-structural flood control program (floodplain zoning, insurance and proofing, warning and flood relief) with strong institutions for

enforceable regulatory arrangements for both the rich and poor communities alike

in North Jakarta with priority for the needs of the highly vulnerable poor population

and its informal sector enterprises. Institute an effective and sustainable flood

preparedness (including local warning e.g. using air raid sirens), flood-fighting and

post-flood relief programmes.

87. Institute a GoI policy on beneficiary cost recovery (possibly based on an earmarking a small portion of property taxes and n inflation-related national subsidy) which

ensures full or partial fiscal sustainability for O&M (including pumping costs) and

rehabilitation.

88. Given the enormous civil works investment for an integrated urban flood management scheme, including a coastal defence system and considering the

stochastic nature of flood events, the difficult coordination, spatial planning and

regulatory arrangements needed for multiple regional governments, national

ministries and agencies, a national inter-ministerial body is needed led by the

Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs (Menko Ekon). Ensure appropriate

involvement of civil society and NGOs in the institutional and implementation

arrangements.

89. Follow a holistic and integrated approach for the development of North Jakarta, cross sectoral, including land development and management, industrial development,

transport, water supply and sanitation, residential areas, landscape, recreation, etc.

90. The highest possible attention should be given to solving the land-subsidence problem as soon as possible and to alternative provision of clean water for those


areas. Without adequate and prompt tackling of the subsidence problem (by stopping

ground water extraction and replacement by reliable and affordable water supply),

many of the planned investments for the development and protection of North

Jakarta will be a waste of money. Without stopping subsidence , North Jakarta will

subside far below mean sea level and become a very unsafe place to live, even if a

JCDS is installed. Although the frequency of a probable disaster may be low, the

impacts (in terms of economic damage and loss of lives) could be tremendous.

Population in North Jakarta will depend completely, not only on a perfectly designed

and constructed protection system, but also on a perfectly maintained, organized,

operated and funded system for many years to come.

91. Also high attention should be given to rapid introduction of adequate sanitation in Jakarta and upstream to improve and safeguard sustainable water quality in the bay

in particular if a complete closure of the bay is considered. Given the environmental

(and also safety) consequences of a completely closed bay and the improbability to

have such a sanitation system in place in the years to come, this alternative has to

be studied thoroughly, alternatives should be considered, mitigation measures

applied and if possible this alternative should be avoided at all by making sure that

subsidence will stop as soon as possible!

92. Consider an integration and synchronisation of the various master plans (Sectoral and regional) with the urban drainage and flood management, including flooding

from sea (JCD system) as element, instead of a JCD Master Plan. Synchronise the

implementation of the various plans. In the (near) future an Integrated Urban

Drainage and Flood Management Master Plan, including flooding from the sea (JCD

system) that is well integrated with the other plans.

93. Conduct a more detailed analysis of the viability of PPP schemes for the development of North Jakarta, including investment in public infrastructure.

94. Find a modus operandi of a donor partnership between the Government of Indonesia, international financial institutions and other bilaterial development partners for

project program preparation and implementation for the development of North

Jakarta.

95. Follow-up activities should not require lengthy preparation based on complex environmental and social safeguard policies and be followed by “only institution-

building” activities taking several years. Therefore a strategy of initial investment in

emergency work in tandem with establishment of the crucial institution-building and

fiscal consolidation phase is proposed. While the major investments and non-

structural programs are being prepared, we propose that major investments are

considered in restoring the capacity of neglected floodways and key internal drainage

facilities (due to deferred maintenance) as part of the emergency programme. In

addition, attention could be given to: (a) improving flood warning and post-flood

relief programs especially for the poor people living in the flood prone areas; and (b)

improving flood gate and pumping station operation procedures and arrangements.

96. Taking the urgency of the current situation (under seepage of the existing seawall at various locations) and the complexity of the problem (multi and cross sectoral,

institutional, cross government administration, participation of the private sector,

public health issues, environmental neglect, synchronisation of the many sectoral

and regional plans, etc.), consider to focus the next phase on the following parallel

components:

a. Emergency work to protect the area short term from flooding from the sea to buy some time for a more comprehensive and holistic solution, and develop or

improve flood warning systems, preparedness and post-flood relief programs


for the poorer coastal communities. An essential element here is to restore a

fixed reference level for geodetic survey. This new reference level should be

placed in an area outside the land-subsidence area or should be installed/fixed

independent of any land-subsidence.

b. Continue and expand follow-up activities/studies/research for the development of North Jakarta, engineering design, links with the various master plans,

environmental and coastal morphological analysis, control land-subsidence,

water quality, other options not yet elaborated e.g. controlled retreat, including

non-structural measures, flood proofing, early warning, etc. Also consider other

out-of-the-box concepts with multi-disciplinary dimensions such as land and

water management Jakarta Bay development, application of Sustainable Urban

Drainage Systems (SUDS), flood defence applying zoning (compartments) in

the bay with various protection levels, (semi-)closed system with storm surge

barriers to protect the bay during high surges/tides, etc. Also strategies to

move from a model based on “hydraulic engineering philosophy” to a

“governance” model based on an economic and commercial way of thinking.

Also important is to include a detailed Strategic Environmental Assessment

(SEA) for the Jakarta bay.

c. Institutional arrangement, responsibilities and authority, organisation,

management, asset management, financial capacity, human resources for

operation and management. Communication platform or dialogue, participatory

approaches, development of fiscal models for (full) cost recovery of O&M costs,

rehabilitation and new investments.

97. Consider to introduce innovative and creative thinking as competitive element, to encourage generation of out-of-the-box solutions, in the procurement process for the

next phase.

98. We recommend that from the outset, a multi-disciplinary and independent International Panel of Experts be appointed (urban planner, architect or landscape

architect, urban flood control engineer, sedimentation expert or geomorphologist,

hydrologist and modeling expert, urban financial analyst, sociologist, community

participation specialist, capacity building specialist, specialist with experience in non-

structural flood control, urban and project economist). The Panel or selected panel

members would visit Indonesia on a scheduled basis to review all project data,

planning reports, designs, etc. and provide input on best international practices as

well as professional evaluation. Ideally, the panel members will be funded through

various donor funding programmes.

99. Excellent collaboration among the Mission Team Members with transparent and open discussions was the basis for real and pleasant team working. All the mission

members supported this mission report and are ready and available for any

preparatory activities as follow-up of this mission.

Ministry of Public Works (MPW)

1. Moh. Maliki Moersid, Head International Cooperation

2. Moh. Hasan, Head Research Development Agency

3. Taufik Widjoyono, Head Planning and International Cooperation (representing Secr. General)

4. Moh. Amron, Director General for Water Resources

5. Suprapto, Technical Planning, Directorate of Rivers

Points and issues during the meeting:

• Jakarta’s main issues: Urban floods, dikes, the sea, institutional coordination, waste water

and solid waste management, water supply, land subsidence, poverty, etc;

• Institution important issue to be taken up. Institutional arrangement should be considered

before the next activities. Example: Sunda Street Bridge;

• Social and Operational issues are essential. Communication strategy need to be developed;

• Integrated master plan, e.g. ongoing JUFM Project of the World Bank;

• Possible collaboration among Government of Indonesia, Government of Netherland and

Government of Japan?

• Linkages with Spatial Planning of the city/region/provinces. Metropolitan Priority Areas

(MPA);

• Make project attractive for private investors;

• MPW supports engineering design and construction of physical infrastructure;

• Change priority: Sell opportunities not the threat of flooding;

• Water supply important: consider desalinisation as option for North Jakarta;

• Potential financing architecture to invest in this project;

• To consider water board system;

• Involvement of senior government official/retired minister or president to give a strong

support to this project, promote and become the Project’s Champion, also for political

support;

• There’s an urgent need to issue a ministerial decree or PP about this project.

DKI Jakarta Province:

1. Achmad Harjadi, Deputy Governor DKI Jakarta, Spatial Planning and Environment

2. Sarwo Handayani, Head Bappeda

3. Tauchid Tjakraamidjaja, Head Regional Environmental Management Board

4. Eri Basworo, Head Public Works Department


• The Atlas is good, Bappeda could use it as a reference for other sectors;

• For the first stage, a new dike along existing coastline, Bappeda need the new design. Second

stage is proposed to re-design the existing one;

• It is important to have proper river water quality in order to prepare & implement this JCDS;

• Sanitation master plan should be a pre-requisite before construction of the new dike;


• Institution first before the activities and the institution should be involved during planning,

executing, Operation and Maintenance. New institution is required;

• Bappeda DKI is focusing on the improvement of River Water quality and improvement of the

fresh water supply especially from Jatiluhur (on land site), reclamation is under

reconstruction and some need re-planning. Establishment of a reliable database is needed;

• Campaign to keep this project alive (need figure/champion to give strong impression)

• Master plan for improvement: 1. Urban drainage system 2. Polders 3. Dam and Situ (main

focus) 4. Flood from sea 5. River widening;

• The need to establish technical unit or rehabilitation unit in east canal and also a unit to

supervise and monitor in order to guarantee the proper operation of the system;

• Law enforcement should be supported by all levels, not only at the top level;

• Convincing the community that a new dike is needed to protect Jakarta and that there is an

opportunity for economic development.

Ministry for Marine Affairs and Fisheries:

1. M. Eko Rudianto, Director Spatial Planning for Marine, Coastal and Small Islands of the

Directorate General for Marine, Coastal and Small Islands.


• JCDS team needs to consider the social problem in North Jakarta such as fisherman and small

people who lives nearby. Those kinds of people are often neglected;

• Land subsidence in North Jakarta important issue and need to be solved urgently;

• Coastal environment degradation and resources depletion (mangrove and coral reefs

damage), land based marine pollution and over-fishing;

• Environmental impact analysis, material availability (sand availability), contaminated

sediment during dredging;

• According to marine and coastal law no. 26/2007 (spatial planning) and 27/2007

(management of coastal zone and small island), Government should set the rule 100m on

coastal meadow (the green zone/belt). Pantai Indah Kapuk residence area is supposed to be

a marine protected area;

• First thing to do: Clean water quality and coastal morphology are essential;

• Sedimentation movement should be taken as a consideration too because it will affect other

provinces and cities e.g. Tangerang and Bekasi. Maybe also affect sedimentation in the

entrance of Tanjung Priok harbour;

• Natural heritage Sunda Kelapa?

• MMAF suggest to communicate this JCDS project to Badan Koordinasi Penataan Ruang

Nasional;

• DG Marine, Coastal and Small islands (MMAF-Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries)

suggested to be involved in the next phases of the project.

Louis Braam, Consultant Bappenas for Public, Private Partnership Transaction


• PPP Infrastructure’s Law and Regulation exist;


• Complex to realise PPPs, look for simple structures;

• In the Netherlands it is possible to have government subsidy and guarantee. In Indonesia it is

much more difficult, especially related with financial risk;

• Land reclamation can be managed and controlled through spatial planning;

• Supervision on quality and income through financial and ax instruments;

• Potential problems: Cash flow synchronisation and law enforcement;

• Essential are investment plans, realisation plans and management;

• Need Capacity Building programmes, economic inventarisation and stakeholders mapping;

• Institutional framework is essential for proper realisation of PPPs, examples laws and licenses

as control instruments;

• PPP in Public Infrastructure is not yet THE magic solution, it is much more complicated.

Bappenas (State Agency for Development Planning):

1. Dedi Supriadi Priatna, Deputy Minister for Infrastructure


• The big picture of java , the future plan of (north) coast of Java

• Initial study of Java, the overall plan

• Jakarta’s big concerned: Fresh water pond (recycle water)

• Tanjung Priok port will be expand to Kalibaru under Pelindo 2, should not affect the port

development, and if possible it should be integrated with this project

• Kepres or President Decree is the key for the Sunda strait development, so it is necessary to

prepare the draft for JCDS project. Draft should be ready within 2 weeks to support the

project

• Leading institutes are Bappenas and Menko, discussion will be initiated soon

• Coordination meetings will be organized soon and will discuss about the status report

Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs (Menko Ekon):

1. Budi W. Santoso, Advisor to the Minister for Poverty Alleviation

2. Purba Robert M. Sianipar, Assistant to Deputy Minister for Water Resources Infrastructure

3. Edib Muslim, Head Communication and Public Relation Division


a) Focal issue is Water Integrity: not only flood, but also the side effects it induced, such as

public health, water quality and social aspects of water usage;

b) Menko was not involved in the JCDS activities. It was informed only in November during the

water week in Amsterdam.

c) The information received on JCDS prompted Menko to request the ongoing MPA

(Metropolitan Priority Areas) studies to include the JCDS concepts into their plans,

d) The umbrella national master plan is the MP3EI 2011-2025, of which MPA is a component of.

This implies that the scheduled JCDS follow-up activities and implementation should be

scheduled for completion in 2025.


e) The JCDS is a strategic study. More detailed elaboration is required during planning phase

taking the time horizon of 2025 into consideration and should be in-line with the MP3EI and

MPA for Greater Jakarta.

f) Menko Ekon shall try to include the JCDS elements in the MP3EI program.

g) Institutional arrangement for implementation, operation and management of the JCD

infrastructure is essential, and is an urgent issue for clarification before proceeding.

h) The institution of organisation in charge with the preparation, planning, programming,

implementation, operation and management of the infrastructure should be a national

government institute, for example Menko or Bappenas. This will be finalised between

Bappenas and Menko. Most probably Menko will be assigned for this purpose.

i) JCDS programmes should be integrated with the other programmed and/or ongoing master

plans and program scheduling should be synchronised with the other programmes and

implementation schedules.

j) Uncontrolled groundwater exploitation is indicated as the main cause of land subsidence of

North Jakarta. Actions needed to control groundwater abstraction. Hopefully land

subsidence can be reduced or even stopped.

k) Take the function and role of the Sunda Kelapa harbour into consideration as a heritage area,

and to secure its survival.

l) Secured water supply for the northern area of Jakarta and the new reclaimed area is

essential.

m) Waste water and solid waste management is poor and need to be controlled in order to

create a healthy environment in the new reclaimed areas and future storage lakes.

n) Suggest to consider carefully whether the system in the Jakarta Bay will become a closed or

open system.

o) An assessment of things that need to be done should be made, including the institutional

arrangement, and role sharing between the government and private sector (PPP).

p) Menko should definitely be actively involved in the next activities related to JCDS.

q) It is better to have a team of prominent national statesman to promote and support the JCD

activities rather than a one-man champion,

r) Role of private sector essential in the implementation, operation and management phases.

State Ministry of Environment (KLH)

1. Heru Waluyo Koesworo, Assistant Deputy Minister Regional and Sectoral Policy Assessment


• Basic is the Law on Spatial Planning 32/2009: Protection of the environment, and need for an

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA);

• SEA for DKI Province exists. Need a more detailed SEA for Jakarta Bay;

• Keys are Sustainability and Integration;

• In Jakarta Bay there are power plants, telecommunication cables. Power plants need Cooling

Water;

• Many sectors involved and influencing one another. There is no optimal solution. Need to

facilitate for the best compromise between the sectors;

• Land-subsidence: main cause is groundwater over-exploitation;


• Next phase include development of policy guidelines on environmental awareness in the

Jakarta Bay;

• Change of mindset required both at government and civil society levels;

• SEA should include institutional setting and its implementation during the various phases of

the project, including operation and management of the asset;

• Take social impacts of the interventions in the bay into consideration in the next phase;

• Sedimentation from the river: impact maybe small, but need analyses on river sediment and

coastal morphology as result of the new infrastructure;

• Next phase: KLH would like to become a member of the Steering Committee.

Hydraulic Research Centre (PusAir)

1. Arie Setiadi Murwanto, Director PusAir

2. Fransisca Mulyantari, Head Programming and Cooperation


• JCDS should be integrated in MPAs. Now all plans are fragmented;

• Presidential decree needed to integrate all the master plans;

• Institutional aspects received less attention. Essential element for next phase of the project.

Success or failure of the project strongly depends on the strength of the institution;

• Environmental analysis and social impacts in the ToR for the next phase;

• Coastal Morphology essential part in the next phase;

• Dumping of dredged spoil and borrow material for embankment construction;

• Input PUSAir in JCDS study in the development of the Atlas only;

• Who is the owner of the computer programmes, simulations and data collected in the

project? Should be an Indonesian institution at central level, e.g. PUSAir as central

knowledge centre.

• Handover, training of staff in operating the programmes essential. Should be addressed in

the next phase and part of the ToR;

• Involvement of PUSAir in next phase as Knowledge Management Centre of the Central

Government.
