Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar?

The Pluit Reservoir Revitalization Project in the area of Penjaringan, North Jakarta is the first government project of Jakarta Municipality, in the era of Ir. Joko Widodo, Governor of Jakarta for the year of 2012 to 2014, which aims to overcome floods that occurred during the last decade. The main purpose of this project is to restore the capacity of reservoir in order to be able to mitigate the current conditions of annually flooding and also a 25-year return period.

For several years, almost 15.000 legal and illegal households currently settled and built temporary unfeasible housing on the reservoir banks and prone to repeated flooding. Within this situation, the government was challenge to relocate the squatters without harassing their human rights so that the physical improvements could be done. This project is innovative and a strong leadership was the crucial point and also it is integral that social and economic benefits are also gained through the development of this project.

In terms of democracy context, the government's efforts to actualize the restoration of reservoir function in parallel with the right of citizen will be an interesting case study to be discovered.
