Vertical Infrastructure Development As An Effort to Preserve The Environment

Résumé

The need for settlements is increasing in line with the increase in population. The available land is very limited, so a solution is needed to overcome this problem so that land conversion does not occur. Infrastructure development in a horizontal direction should be balanced with development in a vertical direction so that green open space can be maintained as an effort to preserve the environment. The pros and cons that occur due to vertical infrastructure development plans are the result of the lack of understanding of related local wisdom, as well as the lack of integrated public awareness to preserve the environment. Vertical sanctity is a local wisdom that can mediate the pros and cons of the emergence of feelings of cemer/leteh when entering the lower floors of high-rise buildings and flyovers due to feeling stepped over by people on the upper floors. The problem studied is whether there are challenges in vertical infrastructure development and what is the community's opinion on vertical infrastructure as an effort to preserve the environment. It is hoped that with this study, the research objectives can be achieved, namely wanting to know the challenges faced and how the community thinks about vertical infrastructure development. The method is carried out by structured interviews with relevant stakeholders and obtaining data through filling out questionnaires that are converted into Likert scales. The results of the study obtained are that the challenges faced can be solved through understanding existing local wisdom and vertical infrastructure development is needed to minimize land conversion and maintain environmental sustainability. The suggestion proposed is to always try to explore and preserve local wisdom because of its positive role in efforts to solve problems in the community, and the existence of vertical infrastructure can certainly be stated in written rules / legislation.
