Journey to Urban Nexus Tanjungpinang is one of Urban Nexus Target Selection in Indonesia, aside of Pekanbaru and Solo. The Integrated Resource management in Asian Cities: The Urban Nexus Focus Group Discussion was held on May, 9 2014, inviting all the stakeholders in charge of urban resources management in Tanjungpinang, followed by a field survey to see our main issues in handling waste water, solid waste, water, food, and energy management.
City s Major Concern Regarding Urban Nexus
1. WATER MANAGEMENT While clean and secured, water in Tanjungpinang is not yet drinkable (still have to be boiled). 45% Leakage on water system Water service area is still limited to city s centre, others use underground well/water pump Water s availability relies on rain (rivers are seasonal, no springwater)
FOOD SECURITY Food s availability relies on supplies from other regions (imports) Unproductive lands; mostly because of mining activity.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Most people don t separate their waste at home, waste separation process starts at the landfill Landfill methane pipelines are still not connected and used for energy
WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT On-Site Waste Water Management Based on EHRA (Environmental Health Risk Assessment) Survey in 2013: Only 65% of population own (individual) septic tank. Several centralized waste water treatment plants are in bad condition especially on coastline areas
Energy Power plants still rely on Non- Renewable Resources (Diesel Power Plant) Energy deficit; high frequency of blackout.
Goverment s Initiative Finding the Solution (1) Solidwaste Wastewater water Development of Secured Methane Pipelines Installation on Landfill Development of de-centralized (off-site) waste treatment plant Development of sea-water reverse osmosis plant On planning stage, about 198 million IDR (17000 usd) from city budget is allocated for development this year Planning stage is done, development start this year, would be located near by the landfill area Already on trial operation, Temporarily halted due to higher salinity level on underground water nearby the plant
Goverment s Initiative Finding the Solution (2) Energy Food security Development of steam power stations in Galang Batang, Lekop River, and Batam Interconnection Development of agriculture on critical land, community groups for urban agriculture, On planning stage, possibly using nonrenewable resources (coal)
Possible Urban Nexus Project Top Priority: 1. Technical Assistance on Methane Pipelines Installations Development on Landfill and the usage of biogas for energy 2. Technical Assistance on Decentralized Waste Water Development Other Possible Projects: 1. Technical assistance to improve waterfront s communal sanitations 2. Technical assistance in operating sea water reverse osmosis water plant that is energy efficient
