Food security and stability of food access are critical issues in urban development, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia, which face food instability and rapid population growth. Various concepts of food security, such as Food Resilient, Food Security, and Food Sensitive Planning and Urban Design (FSPUD), have been implemented in developed countries and offer innovative solutions for urban planning that support sustainable food systems. FSPUD, initially developed in Australia, integrates food security principles into urban design, focusing on food resource management, access, and social interactions to strengthen food security and mitigate the impacts of climate change. However, a key challenge in Indonesia is the dualism of urban structure, where urban areas are divided into formal and informal zones, affecting infrastructure and food access. Climate change, including rising sea levels threatening coastal areas, exacerbates this issue, necessitating adjustments to FSPUD standards, particularly in informal settlements or urban villages located in coastal regions, to enhance sustainable food security. This study aims to guide the design of coastal urban villages in Indonesia by applying the principles of Food Sensitive Urban Design (FSUD) to improve food security. The research adopts an explanatory and prescriptive approach, testing and explaining the relationship between key variables and offering recommendations to address emerging challenges. Using a post-positivist approach, which refines traditional positivism, the study tests theories through observation and links them with existing research. A qualitative research methodology is employed, utilizing evaluation techniques, surveys, interviews, and observations to gather subjective data and describe the study area's conditions. A deductive approach is applied to analyze field data based on established theories. The findings highlight four primary criteria in the FSUD framework for the Kenjeran coastal area: accessibility, open space, community engagement, and environmental resources. Each criterion includes several elements and principles that integrate aquaculture and agriculture concepts. The study also identifies design interventions, such as "green alley" simulations, building form adaptations, community-driven programs, food-sharing innovations, rain garden development, and waste bank initiatives. A design simulation is presented for urban village alleys, offering alternative designs based on specific criteria and indicators tailored to the existing conditions. Kenjeran, a coastal area in Surabaya, is ideal for tourism and recreation but faces challenges such as erosion, climate change, and pollution, which threaten marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of local fishermen. The area requires infrastructure development and building adaptations, such as stilt houses to mitigate flooding. While the community seeks to preserve its cultural identity, urbanization has led many young people to change professions. The local economy is growing, especially in tourism and small businesses, but concerns about the negative impacts of development on the environment and local economy persist. To achieve integration between food security and other sectors like tourism, infrastructure, and environmental conservation, collaboration between the government and local communities is essential. By applying an urban farming approach combined with FSUD principles, this research aims to enhance food and socio-economic security while addressing climate change impacts. With a focus on environmentally sustainable agricultural practices, Kenjeran's urban village is expected to develop sustainably and provide long-term benefits for its residents.
