JAKARTA, METROPOLITAN CITY AND THE PROBLEMS

Who doesn't know the Indonesian capital? Jakarta is located on

the island of Java. A city that have a lot of progress in everything.
Starting from the aspect of infrastructure to science and technology. Not
only that, Jakarta is the center of Indonesian government, industrial
center, and many others. So it's no wonder that many migrants want to
work in Jakarta. Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia, a city filled with
residents from various cities in Indonesia who wander with the aim of
changing their destiny and fortune. Jakarta is also called as
Metropolitan City. Why is Jakarta called as a Metropolitan City?
Because Jakarta is one of the more developed cities than any other city
in Indonesia.
Nevertheless the population density caused by many migrants
making the land in Jakarta narrower and the difficulty of finding green
open spaces. and with this population movement there are two
possibilities, the first is that the person is successful in his career and
the second that makes the city of Jakarta increasingly far behind other
capitals is the unsuccessful and even unemployed migrants who
increase the number of unemployed. Another problem that often arises
in Indonesia is traffic jam. Jakarta’s traffic has always been a big
problem for the government. Every morning Jakarta has been
always and always enjoyed with the name stuck. Well, indeed, what can
we do, as the center of the capital which will never slept through the
night to come pick. Traffic jams are everywhere in Jakarta. It is hard for
people in Jakarta and in its suburbs like Tangerang, Bekasi, Depok, and
Bogor to move around. It takes too long than it should be to get to one
place from another. The most significant causes of the problem lay on
some factors.
One of the causes is the number of vehicles in Jakarta. There are too
many buses, cars, motorcycles, and any other kinds of public
transportation in the streets. no longer wonder, when rain flooded and
jammed into one hell feels like a home for all the work. Not just one or
two hours, private car users can be up to 3 hours not moving. If we talk
to dealing with this beautiful country, government is not honored will be
no end. A little opinion on our system of government from the
beginning until now. I think the bottleneck can be overcome by the
reduction of private vehicles. Yes indeed, almost every head of the
family has a personal vehicle. But all of this can we reduce the
government a lot of money, funds allocation and so on. Make public
transport comfortable, safe, plentiful, easy to reach, etc. With this
people will switch to not use private vehicles. Why use a private vehicle
anyway no public transport is safe, comfortable. Once people’s minds
when they developed public facilities.
It would certainly reduce the number of vehicles. Reduce pollution as
well right? how do you cope with traffic, public transportation in
Indonesia now just become a tool for criminals to rape, robbery, sexual
abuse and many more. No wonder if the interest in public transport is
less than private vehicles. If indeed there are many cases like this,
remove the serious legal, proper and in accordance with the actors do. If
public transport is made more secure, convenient, effective, would jam a
little loose. At least the volume of vehicles is reduced because they
prefer public transportation. It’s just not regularly public transport,
indiscriminate parking, driving like crazy, especially away from the
comfortable security. So, my opinion still haunts Jakarta traffic jam to
us before public transport facilities could be improved and the system
works.
Provide safe and convenient facilities, cheap price reach and act
decisively on the laws, give severe punishment, retribution to the
perpetrators of crime on public transport. With this, it might be a little
to reduce traffic jam in Jakarta. Actually the government of DKI
Jakarta has also think about the traffic jam problem and they come out
with PRODASIH (clean air program). One of the example is “three in
one” which means there should be three people or more in one car, but
in the reality lots of the car owner use jock.ey to avoid the regulation.
So it comes back to the people of Jakarta consciousness to make
the traffic in Jakarta more enjoyable. If they can not do this then may be
in the next year there will be all traffic jam in the street of Jakarta that
make the people harder to go through even to go out of their home. I
realize that now the traffic jam seems to be more crowded and long.
Even in the place where usually never been any traffic jam now there is
a jam and it is quite long and heavy. Maybe the government can be
stricter about the regulation that they have already made
Other problem that always appear in jakarta is flood when The
rainy season has come in every regions in Indonesia. One of the cities
that get rain is Jakarta, the city which vulnerable with flooding and
landslides. In fact, according to various sources, the Jakarta city was in
serious condition and it must get effective treatment. This is
concequence from unbalanced circulation of groundwater. So if you
want to save Jakarta in order to survive from flood I think you
Should dispose rubbish in proper place, stop building Infrastructure in
Jakarta and keep mangroves reproduce.
There are 3 ways to prevent Jakarta from flood and the land do
not vanish. First we have to throw garbage in proper place
provided, we need to understand that the rubbish is one of the main
causes of floods in Jakarta. One careless action is throw
away the rubbish in the river, gutter and sea. Ciliwung River in Jakarta
is a victim of human carelessness throw away the rubbish there. So we
should know and understand that throwing rubbish in proper
place provided is a small action that will have a major impact for the
survival of Jakarta. So start now, train ourselves to realize how
important our role to save Jakarta from floods.
The second way is stop
the building infrastructure in Jakarta, this is addressed
to the entrepreneurs who create buildings skyscrapers
in Jakarta. Because according to data from
the Jakarta Coastal Defense Strategy (JCDS). Condition of soil in
Jakarta is quite critical and if they still continueto build skyscrapers, the
land will be gone. The soil in Jakarta can
vanishquickly if flood and erosion come and beat
the Jakarta city. We only stay towait time if the entrepreneurs continue
to build skyscrapers in Jakarta. Then based on trouble that have been
outlined, if you want to save the city ofJakarta then I think
you should stop or reduce the building of infrastructurein the Jakarta.
The third way to prevent the city from drowning and the soil does
notvanish. The way is to multiply the mangrove forests along the coast
andbuild embankments along the north coast region, include relocating
resident from the potential flood region. Because
the imbalance between populationand availability of land is cause
of flood in Jakarta is not finish. So Jakartaneed the mangroves. As we
know that the mangrove forest serves to protect the buildings,
agricultural crops or natural vegetation from storm damage orsalt-
laden winds through the filtration process. So I think you
should growand reproduce mangrove forests along the coast to protect
the building and soil conditions from damage by storms or other
natural disasters.
From all of that, three of the many ways to save the Jakarta in
order to survive from drown and flood. we must throw garbage in
the proper placeprovided, stop or reduce the development
infrastructure. So if you want to save Jakarta in order to survive
from flood I think you Should Dispose rubbish in proper place,
stop building Infrastructure in Jakarta and keep mangroves reproduce.
