Green infrastructure pattern of Manggar riverbank as Minapolitan (fishing town) settlement

Abstract

Abstract Manggar Riverbank is one of the high-density settlements with characteristics of wood as the main material. Most residents were worked as fishermen and farmers to support minapolitan (fishing town) activities. The area was located on the edge and surface of the river, linear housing patterns, parallel, and surface the river. The area has been indicated as slum river settlements. The strategy to urban development based on green infrastructure (ecological infrastructure) must be integrated with Balikpapan Spatial Plan (RTRW). Manggar village was established as a traditional protected settlement. Green infrastructure planning should be integrated with the residential space to improve the quality of city and community life. The concept of sust ainable city development needs to balance economic, socio-cultural and environmental development by increasing green infrastructure. The purpose of this study is to analyze the priorities of green infrastructures based on its pattern. The distribution patterns by Geographic Information Systems approach was used as a methodology. The results of the analysis concluded that there were three patterns identified from the distribution of green infrastructure in the village over the Manggar riverbank settlement. Clustered patterns, random patterns, and dispersed patterns are found in all variables with different amounts. Clustered patterns are found in the distribution of vegetation. This result shows that the priority of the Manggar village community readiness in preparing the green infrastructure of settlements is available on vegetation. The clustered vegetation does not show a relationship with fishing activities, but rather tourism activities. Green infrastructure that is dispersed according to the use of fisheries space is lighting and public buildings with random patterns.
