Abstract: �������
The
increasing demand for infrastructure provision in urban areas is inseparable
from the increasing population and urbanization flows that have an impact on
the uncontrolled development of urban areas. To anticipate this phenomenon, it
is necessary to have integrated infrastructure planning involving various
agglomerated stakeholders to produce policies that apply holistically.
Pontianak City like other cities in Indonesia continues to show growth in the
development sector, one of which is in the field of infrastructure. This study
aims to identify the availability of infrastructure, especially in Pontianak
City which is included in one of the Strategic Growth Areas (WPS) in West
Kalimantan to realize integrated, holistic, and sustainable infrastructure system
planning. Identification activities were carried out in Parit
Tokaya Village, South Pontianak District, with
purposive sampling location determination representing villages with quite
diverse complexity. Data collection methods using survey, observation, and
documentation methods, as well as data analysis methods are carried out in a
qualitative descriptive manner referring to references, literature, and related
policies. The results showed that most of the available infrastructure
conditions and environmental facilities were adequate, but there were several
recommendations for improvement in several infrastructure components such as
repairing damaged roads and bridges, providing city water reserves during the
dry season, normalizing drainage channels that often cause flooding in the
area, managing used water that is still discharged directly into the city
room,� it is necessary to provide several
garbage polling points and 3R trash cans. Recommendations for improvements in
the components of environmental facilities include anticipating congestion in
educational facilities, especially during school entry and return hours,
increasing parking capacity in commercial facilities, and structuring public
RTH as community socialization and recreation facilities.

INTRODUCTION
Infrastructure development
is one of the vital aspects for accelerating regional and national development (Yu, 2017). Infrastructure also plays an important role as one
of the driving forces of economic growth (Huang et al., 2021). This is because the pace and growth of a country's
economy cannot be separated from the availability of infrastructure such as transportation,
telecommunications, sanitation, and energy. Therefore, the development of this
sector is the foundation of the development of the driving force of a region (Zhou et al., 2020).
Infrastructure refers to
the physical system that provides transportation, irrigation, drainage,
buildings, and other public facilities needed to meet basic human needs in the
social and economic spheres (Grigg, 1988). The infrastructure system is the main support of
the functioning of the social system and economic systems (Gabdrakhmanov & Rubtsov, 2014). The social and economic conditions of a region
cannot be separated from the availability of infrastructure in the region both
in quality and quantity (Salemink et al., 2017).
Increasing demand for
infrastructure provision in cities is inseparable from the increasing
population and urbanization flows that have an impact on the development and
expansion of urban sprawl (Kaur et al., 2020). This phenomenon occurs in most cities in Indonesia
and even in the world. To anticipate the increasingly widespread phenomenon, it
is necessary to have integrated infrastructure planning involving various
agglomerated stakeholders to produce policies that apply holistically (Alberini, 2021).
To realize an integrated,
holistic, and sustainable infrastructure system planning, it is necessary to
first identify the availability of infrastructure, especially in Pontianak City
which is included in one of the Strategic Growth Areas (WPS) in West
Kalimantan. The identification process starts from the area bordering the
Pontianak hinterland (Kubu Raya Regency) in South
Pontianak District.
This study aims to
identify the availability of infrastructure in the South Pontianak sub-district
area as a database in the continued process of sustainable integrated
infrastructure planning in Pontianak City. The benefits of this research are:
Through this identification activity, it is hoped that the resulting report can
be useful for regulators in determining the direction of integrated, holistic,
and sustainable urban infrastructure planning.
METHOD
Data analysis techniques in this research activity are carried out in a
qualitative descriptive manner, namely an analytical technique or method used
in qualitative research, namely research that emphasizes more on observing
phenomena and requires sharp instincts and assumptions from researchers (Haas, 2020). The type of data needed in this research
activity is in the form of primary data and secondary data. Primary data is
data obtained from the field in the form of documentation, observations, and
measurements, while secondary data is data sourced from literature or related
agencies in this case in the form of thematic maps, regional boundaries, and
other spatial information (FG Assis et
al., 2019).
Primary data collection and secondary data are carried out through survey
methods by conducting direct visits to the field:
1. Observation. That is a data collection
technique carried out through an observation accompanied by recording
information, conditions, or behavior of target objects either directly or
indirectly.
2. Documentation. The definition of documentation
according to KBBI is the process of collecting, selecting, processing, and
storing information in the field of knowledge, providing or collecting evidence
from information such as pictures, quotes, newspaper cutouts, and other
reference materials.
3. Interview. Is a question-and-answer activity
between researchers and other parties that are needed to be asked for
information or opinions about something. In this study, interviews are included
in the secondary data classification in the form of opinions and information
from the community and agencies around the identification area about existing
facilities.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Pontianak City is the capital of West Kalimantan
Province with a total area of 107.82 km2. Administratively, Kota� Pontianak is divided into 6
sub-districts; namely the Districts of North Pontianak, West Pontianak,
Pontianak City, Pontianak Tenggara, South Pontianak, and East Pontianak, and
consists of 29 wards. Geographically, Pontianak City is located on the equator,
therefore Pontianak City is nicknamed the City of the
Equator or City of the Equator. Pontianak City is also crossed and divided into
three lands by two large rivers, namely, Kapuas River and Landak
River. South Pontianak District has an area of 14.54 km or 13.49% of the total
area of Pontianak City. It has 5 wards and is bordered by Pontianak Kota
District, Southeast Pontianak District, and East Pontianak District. The
location of the observation is in Parit Tokaya Village which is bordered by Akcaya
Village, Kota Baru Village, and Continent Melayu Darat Village.

A. Identify
the Availability of Environmental Infrastructure
The availability of residential and urban environmental infrastructure in
Parit Tokaya Village, South
Pontianak District includes (a) Roads and bridges. (b) Clean water network. (c)
Sanitation and wastewater networks. (d) Drainage channels. (e) Waste. (f) Power
and telecommunications networks.
1.
Road and Bridge Infrastructure
The main roads in Parit Tokaya
village are Jalan Ahmad Yani as the primary arterial
road and Jalan Letjend. Sutojo
as a collector's street.
��������������
2.
Clean
Water Network Infastructure
The main source of clean water comes from PDAM Pontianak City while the
backup water source uses rainwater collected in the reservoir.
�� ������
3.
Sanitation and Wastewater Infrastructure
Dirty Water Management (black water) generally uses a local treatment
system (on-site system) in the form of septic tanks or cubluks.
While used water treatment (grey water) still does not exist and is immediately
discharged into roll.
��������������
4.
Drainage Channel
There are two types of drainage channels at the study site, namely
natural drainage on Jalan Letjend Sutojo
and artificial drainage on every other road section. During times of high rain
frequency, the location often experiences inundation/flooding.
��
5.
Waste Infrastructure
Waste infrastructure is a system or infrastructure that aims to manage
waste effectively and efficiently so as not to cause negative impacts on the
environment and human health (Maiurova
et al., 2022). This infrastructure consists
of several important components such as collection, transportation, processing,
and final disposal of waste.
������
6.
Power and Telecommunication Network
Power and telecommunications networks are two
types of infrastructure networks that are very important in our modern lives (Alkhaleel
et al., 2022). Power grids are responsible
for providing electricity to homes, buildings, and industries, while
telecommunications networks carry voice, data, and video information around the
world. The power grid consists of power generation, transmission, distribution,
and customer service. Power plants can be hydroelectric power plants, gas-fired
electricity, and nuclear power. The electricity generated is then sent via
transmission over long distances, using a transmission network consisting of a
network of high-voltage cables and power towers. After reaching the
distribution area, electricity is then channeled to homes, buildings, and
industries through a distribution network consisting of a network of
low-voltage cables and transformers.
B.
Identify the Availability of Environmental Facilities �
The availability of residential and urban facilities
in Parit Tokaya Village,
South Pontianak District, which includes: (a) Educational facilities. (b)
Health facilities. (c) Means of worship. (d) Office facilities. (e) Means of
business. (f) Sports facilities and RTH.
1. Educational Facilities
Education facilities spread across Parit Tokaya Village consist of public and private schools
ranging from elementary school (SD), junior high school (SMP) and high school
(SMA).
��������������
2. Health
Facilities
Health facilities spread across Parit Tokaya Village have several
types of services including maternity clinics, general practitioner practices,
and pharmacies.
��������������
3. Facilities
of Worship
Worship is an activity carried out by religious
people as a form of respect, devotion, and worship of God. Each religion has
different rituals and rites of worship, but all worship has the same goal,
which is to strengthen the relationship with God and increase spiritual
awareness. Worship can be done individually or together in places of worship
such as churches, mosques, temples, monasteries, or other sacred places (H�welmeier,
2016). Some forms of worship are
done at home or in the open such as meditation, prayer, or fasting.
4. Office
Facilities
An office is a building or building that is used
as a center of operations and administration for a business or organization (Korpela
et al., 2015). Offices usually have special
rooms such as conference rooms, meeting rooms, waiting rooms, staff rooms, and
offices for officials or managers. Inside the office, there are various
facilities and services provided to support business activities and occupant
comfort.
5. Business
Facilities
Commerce is a business activity that involves the
process of producing, distributing, and selling goods or services with the aim
of making a profit. Business activities can be carried out by individuals,
groups, or companies operating in various business sectors such as trade,
services, manufacturing, and so on. To run a business business,
several essential things are needed such as capital, management, human
resources, technology, and markets. Capital is an important aspect of running a
business because capital is used to develop and maintain the business and to
deal with risks that may arise.
Effective and efficient management is very
important in running a business business, because
management will help in decision making, strategy development, human resource
management, and others. Quality human resources are also important in running a
business because skilled and trained employees will help improve business
performance.
6. Sports
Facilities
Exercise is a physical activity that is done
regularly to improve health and fitness. Sports can be done individually or in
groups and can be done indoors or outdoors. Exercise provides not only physical
benefits but also psychological and social benefits. The physical benefits of
exercise are improved muscle strength, endurance, balance, flexibility, and
cardiovascular fitness (Izquierdo
et al., 2021). Exercise can also help
control weight, reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and
improve sleep quality. The psychological benefits of exercise are improving
mental well-being, reducing stress and anxiety, improving cognitive abilities,
and increasing self-confidence (Parry
et al., 2018). Exercise can also help
overcome depression and improve a positive mood.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of observations and
identification that have been carried out at the study location, namely in Parit Tokaya Village andAkcaya Village, South Pontianak District, it can be
concluded as follows: (a) Road and bridge infrastructure, in general, is in
good condition even though in some parts of the road there are damaged due to
the heavy vehicle load that often passes through it or because of sufficient
intensity and frequency of flooding tall. (b) Most wastewater networks are
already owned by residents with an onsite system, namely sewage treatment in
the yard of the house in the form of septic or cubluk
tangka. As for grey water, it is still dumped into the city. (c) Drainage
channels consist of natural and artificial drainage channels, some of which
have been equipped with retaining walls in the form of bara or cheap. At times
of high rainfall intensity, the drainage canal overflows and causes flooding in
the surrounding area. (d) Clean water networks are already available in both
locations, namely, distribution pipes originating from PDAMs. Some houses also
provide toren or reservoirs to collect rainwater as
water for consumption and water reserves during dry monsoons. (e) The waste system
is quite good, although there is still garbage scattered in public areas,
especially after inundation or flooding.
