kilometres south east of
Jakarta, Bandung has cooler
temperatures year-roundthan most other Indonesiancities.
` The city lies on a river basinsurrounded by volcanic
mountains.
`Enviromental Problem in Bandung` Solid waste

management

Total volume of solidwaste generated in
Bandung city is 1,492
ton/day which is 74%
collected and transported
to landfill.
` Reduce, reuse, recycle,
and composting are notcommon practices` High density population
therefore difficult to findappropriate landfill location`

Flood` Clearance ofcatchment areas in
the northern Bandung
mountainous region
and limited drainage
system has caused
the escalating
number of floods inthe city.

Air Pollution` Large urban

agglomerations in
Bandung inevitably leadto air pollution.
` Bandung lacksystematic
measurements of airpollution.
` Bandung's air pollutants
are trapped by a
combination ofsurrounding mountains
and the city's concave,bowl-like footprint,Solution in Bandung (1):Eco-city and eco-village` Bandung city implemented eco-city and eco-village concept.
` In fact, the concept of eco-city and ecovillage has emerged given the rapid pace ofurbanization in Bandung city.
` Ecocities essentially integrate economic,environmental and social considerations anddevelop projects, programmes, plans andpolicies towards sustainable governance ofBandung city.
` Public involvement in this process is very
important.

Solution in Bandung (2):Eco-city and eco-village` Bandung city has committed to becoming

the sustainable and green city by developing
and supporting green initiatives such asurban bicycling, use of renewable energy,
promote urban farming and roof garden,and sustainable solid waste management.
` Eco-village is more emphasis on adoption to
local culture, renewable energy especiallybased on solar and biomass, organic
farming, low water intensive usage withdecentralized and community driven
solutions.

Solution in Bandung (3):Eco-city and eco-village` The challenge is to develop an eco-village

for high density living̶a urban village thatprovided a variety of housing options andlifestyle choices based on sustainability,innovation and a strong sense of community.
` Therefore, Bandung city iniciated first ecovillage in Tamansari-Cihampelas area as a
eco-village model number one or Bandung
EcoVillage#1.
` Bandung Ecovillage#1 TamansariCihampelas objective is to become moresocially, economically and ecologicallysustainable.

Solution in Bandung (3):Eco-city and eco-village` Concretely, Bandung Ecovillage#1 seek

alternatives to ecologically destructive
electrical, water, transportation, and wastetreatment systems, as well as the larger
social systems that mirror and support them.
` Bandung Ecovillage#1 reduce social impact
from the breakdown of traditional forms ofcommunity, wasteful consumerist lifestyles,
the destruction of natural habitat, urban
sprawl, factory farming, and over-relianceon fossil fuels.

Component Bandung Ecovillage#1` Sustainable Transportation` Sustainable Solid Waste

Management` Sustainable Drainage System` Integrated Wastewater
Treatment` Urban Farming` Low Consumption andRenewable EnergySustainable Transportation` Bike Sharing` Bandung Ecovillage#1 hasprovided bicycle sharing
system that is a service inwhich bicycles are madeavailable for shared use to
individuals on a very shortterm basis.

` Automated parking

building` To reduce ground parking

space, Ecovillage will build
multi-story concrete
structure with an internal
ele to to t n po t cto

Sustainable Transportation` Bus` Bandung has developed

Mass Rapid
Transportation facilities.
Bandung Ecovillage
program will increaseamount of bus in
Bandung.

` Skywalk` To increase bike user andwalking habit, Ecovillage
will provide Skywalk, asteel bridge along Jalan
Tamansari-CihampelasroadSustainable Solid Waste Management` Composting`Bandung has implemented
composting process both inhousehold scale byproviding composting binand region scale byproviding compostingmachines.

` Biodigester`

Bandung has built several
biodigester. To carry out
waste-to-energy program,Ecovillage will increaseamount of biodigester
system in region scaleSustainable Solid Waste Management` Recycle center`

Ecovillage will provide Recycle center that recycling
plastics, batteries, paper, metal, biomatter, glass, textile,electronic, and composite.

` Underground collection station`To operate more cleaner and greener waste
management, Ecovillage will provide underground solid
waste collection system` Plasma technology`Ecovillage will introduce solid waste treatment by using
plasma gasification technology. Plasma gasification is aprocess which converts organic matter into syntheticgas, electricity, and slag using plasma. A plasma torch
powered by an electric arc is used to ionize gas andcatalyze organic matter into synthetic gas and solid
waste (slag).

Integrated Wastewater Treatment` Communal septic tank

` Communal septic tank will be build to treatthe sewage from Ecovillage community.
The sewage will pass through sewer pipes
to the communal septic tank.

` Sewage conveyor-pipe along river` Sewage from house near river that are notserviced by Communal Septic Tank will beserviced by sewage conveyor-pipe system.
The sewage will pass through sewer
conveyor-pipes to the City Domestic
Wastewater Plant.

Integrated Wastewater Treatment` Sustainable drainage system` Bandung Ecovillage will provide sustainabledrainage system such as source control,
permeable paving such as pervious concrete,
storm water detention, storm waterinfiltration, and evapo-transpiration (e.g. froma green roof)` Public toilet` Bandung Ecovillage will provide several Public

` Green street`

Ecovillage will implement many elements of street
design, construction, and operation in favor ofachieving green and sustainable street

Low Consumption and Renewable Energy` Street lighting by LED technology` Ecovillage will use street lighting by LEDtechnology. LED street lighting has higher
energy efficiency compared toconventional street lighting` Street lighting by solar cell technology` Ecovillage will also use street lighting by

solar cell technology. Photovoltaic (PV)energy supply technology support
concerns over global climatic change, local
air pollution and resource scarcity.
