| Summary: | The emergence of megaprojects has become a prevalent approach in urban
infrastructure development across various countries. The primary aim of these
megaprojects is to enhance the economy and elevate the quality of cities, enabling
them to compete on a global scale with other urban centers worldwide. The success
or failure of these undertakings significantly impacts spatial structures, socioeconomic conditions, and the urban environment, sometimes extending to a
national level. Evaluating the success or failure of megaprojects often involves a
managerial perspective, focusing on achieving cost, time, and performance targets
(the iron triangle). However, empirical evidence indicates that achieving these
goals poses significant challenges due to the vast scale and high complexity
inherent in megaprojects, which are their defining characteristics. Megaprojects
almost always involve political decisions, rendering feasibility studies and
preliminary assessments mere formalities, as these projects persist as long as
governing authorities continue to drive their execution.
The aim of this study is to elucidate the complexity inherent in the planning of
megaprojects, particularly focusing on the changes and dynamics that unfold within
the planning process and the roles of involved actors in determining its course. This
research centers on the case of Transportation Megaprojects (MT), using cases of
the planning of Jakarta's Integrated Mass Transit and the Jakarta-Bandung HighSpeed Rail. It utilizes qualitative methods alongside technical data collection
through documents, news sources, interviews, and field observations. Adopting a
complexity theory approach, this study supplements rational planning methods,
which have hitherto struggled to elucidate the dynamic and intricate nature of MT
planning. Current planning theories predominantly view the complexity of
megaproject planning from a purely rational-technical standpoint, exhibiting
limited comprehension of the intricacies embedded in the process of planning MT.
This study concludes that the planning of Transportation Megaprojects (MT)
fundamentally involves a process that is time-related, dynamic, open, and nonlinear. Various aspects influence MT planning and are interdependent. The rolesiv
of actors, though following predefined tasks, are dynamic and serve as agents of
change. The rapid dynamics impel actors to explore and exploit resources within
limitations. Consequently, predetermined targets consistently shift and alter,
necessitating continuous updates in planning methodologies and approaches.
Planning undergoes adaptation, co-evolution, and non-linear, parallel, and
iterative planning stages. Government dominance and political pressures influence
spatial planning systems through diverse policies. Rational planning focuses on
process and the intrasubjective role of actors, positioned amidst the spectrum of
technical rationality and communicative rationality. |
