I Nyoman Suluh WIJAYA (Malang, Indonesia)
ABSTRACT: This paper argues the incompatibility of methodological prosperity approach toward the practical planning administrative circumstance of Indonesian municipalities. Regarding the urban sustainability, integrated planning analysis is required to define the specific goals. For the above circumstance, UN Habitat suggests more people-centred prosperity that leads to more holistic approach to integrating productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, equity and social inclusion, and environmental sustainability into a coherent framework of planning analysis. However, some argumentations are still existed toward the incompatibility in response to the common instable planning administration in Indonesia. This paper uses the resulted value of CPI calculation upon Malang City that was demonstrated in 2017 Habitat CPI Courses. Further, the calculation result is analysis toward the practical circumstances of Malang City. This paper reveals two important points that are: i) some difficulties is pictured on the stage of problem and goals definition by unavailable detailed picture of relation among the productivity, infrastructure, quality of life, equity and social inclusion, and environmental sustainability in analysis; ii) there is wide uncertainty toward indicator value due to the lack good data for the analysis.
Keywords: City Prosperity Index (CPI), Data, Indicators, Methodological Framework.
