Kali Belik Reborn: A New Model for Flood Reduction and Sustainability in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
(2025) ASBM01 20251Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- This thesis studies the flood risks in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia, focusing on the Kali Belik River area, and explores the regulations and design principles aimed at enhancing flood risk reduction and management in the city. The discussion begins at the global level, analysing frameworks such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and transitions to the local level, assessing the challenges and effectiveness of their application within urban projects in Yogyakarta. With rapid urbanisation, the city’s exposure to flood risks has increased, resulting in significant impacts on both infrastructure and residents’ daily lives.

The discussion begins at the global level, analysing frameworks such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and transitions to the local level, assessing the challenges and effectiveness of their application within urban projects in Yogyakarta. With rapid urbanisation, the city’s exposure to flood risks has increased, resulting in significant impacts on both infrastructure and residents’ daily lives.
The research highlights a critical gap between global flood risk reduction frameworks and their local implementation. Using a combination of desk-based studies, fieldwork (including interviews, observations, and documentation), and comparative analysis of flood-resilient projects from cities like Rio de Janeiro, Copenhagen, Wuhan, and Jakarta, the study proposes strategies to strengthen flood resilience in Yogyakarta. These strategies emphasise comprehensive flood risk reduction measures such as the integration of green infrastructure, the enhancement of drainage systems, the expansion of green spaces, and the restoration of natural river functions to mitigate flood impacts. This thesis provides practical recommendations for bridging the gap between global guidelines and local applications, offering a robust model for sustainable urban development and flood risk reduction in Yogyakarta, ensuring a more resilient urban future.
