EMBRACING THE SUN: Redefining Public Space as a Solution for the Effects of Global Climate Change in Indonesia’s Urban Areas

 

Floods in Samarinda occur almost every year and are always recurring, especially in the rainy season. Duration, height and extent of inundation happens to vary greatly. The duration of the floods that occurred ranged from 3-10 hours. This project aims to explore flood adaptation infrastructures as a new typology of public space to face climate adaptation, so enhance awareness of Indonesian and laid a concrete resilient groundwork in the face of the climate crisis. The project will support communities in absorbing and adapting to the impact of annual flooding and support communities in pre- and post-disaster and contribute to reduce the ecological footprint.

The selected public space, identified in consultation with Samarinda City Government, will act as multipurpose spaces within the specific framework of being in the first instance designed to support local communities to adapt to floods -not just in terms of physical response, and mainly focusing on the social response to flooding. The goal is to benefit around 2,855 people directly and 152,050 indirectly.
