Creating people’s awareness on the clean and green environment – cities should be develop for people, not vehicles Encouraging people to act together Creating livable urban space – a place to meet, and a shelter for urban population Encourage people to walk! URBAN GREENING PROGRAM
PRIVATE SECTOR AND NGOs INITIATIVES • Pedestrianization development plan at the city center using Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme • Rickshaw Modernization • New technology for less weight, more space, safer, more ergonomic with comparable price • Development of rickshaw training center
ATTRACTING PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPER: CITY CENTER REVITALIZATION • 80’s – Study recognized the needs for city centre revitalization • 90’s – SDC-funded Yogyakarta Urban Development Project/ Yogyakarta Urban Infrastructure Management Support – suggesting pedestrianization for Malioboro street.

PROGRESS OF THE AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT (1) • In 2002, only 5 (five) locations of which 4 (four) ambient air quality parameters were monitored, namely CO, HC, SO2, and Pb. • In 2005, 33 (thirty three) locations were monitored and 7 (seven) air quality data (CO, HC, SO2, Pb, TSP, NOx, PM10) were collected. • The increase in the number of locations and parameters of ambient air quality surveyed has given the policy makers a better comprehension on the nature of the problems and its impacts.
PROGRESS OF THE AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT (2) • In most congested streets, concentration of HC and PM10 has exceeded ambient standards. • Currently, economic impact and health impact associated with energy efficiency and PM10 and Pb and productivity loss (due to respiratory sickness) costs city residents 8 - 10% of the city’s GDP • Between 2002 and 2005, the ambient air quality has been either stable or improved except in some highly congested road network. In the city centre the concentration of HC is stable despite rapid motorization experienced by the city.
