WATER URBANISM REMEDIATE WETLANDS IN TROPICAL URBANISM A CASE STUDY ON BANJARMASIN Subtitle
In the context of South East Asian, especially in Indonesia, wetland is everywhere as paddy field, marsh land and swamp forest. However, under the pressure of hyper urbanization and the threats of climate change, the potentials of wetlands have not been activated. While wetlands have its great benefits in reestablishing Banjar ecology and accommodatingthenextcomingpopulation,ifbeingwellmanaged.By studying on the science of wetlands, I want to explore the potentials of wetlandeco-systeminBanjar‘desa’and‘kota’environment,getinspired fromitsnaturemechanismtoapplyindevelopingdesignguidelines,and re-qualify its importance to local authorities’ research.
