| Summary: | Urban farming activity in Bandung began with the urban farming movement
initiated by the Bandung Berkebun community in 2011. Since 2014, this activity
has been regarded as a flagship program by the Department of Food Security and
Agriculture, which means that it receives governmental (including financial)
support. Urban farming has raised expectations of Bandung City practitioners and
observers as a solution to land use ineffectiveness, food security and environmental
issues in a densely populated city. After more than seven years since it started, the
urban farming program demonstrates many advantages, but on the other hand, it
performs poorly in terms of its development and sustainability. Therefore, this
research aims to identify the main factors of urban farming sustainability through
four research phases, namely: 1) elaborate a historical framework of urban farming
growth in Bandung; 2) define the form and pattern of the urban farming community
in Bandung via thematic content analysis; 3) calculate the economic, social and
environmental value of urban farming in Bandung using preliminary cost-benefit
analysis; and 4) identify the main problems with the Ishikawa technique of analysis.
The data were collected from semi structured, in-depth interviews with six key
stakeholders and questionnaire-based surveys completed by 46 urban farming
community leaders. The final results of each analysis converged into the key factors
of urban sustainability namely (1) economic: contribution to household economy;
(2) environmental and physical: certainty of land access availability; and (3) social:
community leadership. |
