The objective of this book is to better understand the nature of
urban governance regarding the provision of basic urban services in
rapidly growing mid-sized towns and cities in developing countries.
Set within the context of understanding urban planning and
management within the wider city setting, the study focuses on the
provision of the basic urban services of housing, water and
sanitation especially within informal settlements. Using the case
study of the mid-sized city of Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia, the
publication explores: (i) the types, processes, and stakeholders
that constitute formal urban governance in the provision of basic
urban services; (ii) understanding how stakeholders gain and
benefit from 'on the ground' formal service arrangements, and why;
and (iii) for those who do not directly benefit from the formal
arrangements, how individuals, groups and communities organize and
access governance to meet their basic urban needs. The methods
employed to better understand the nature of urban governance and
its relationship to the provision of basic urban services comprised
primary (face-to-face household surveys interviewing 448
respondents, ground mapping at a plot size level in four informal
settlements, and semi-structured interviews with 12 stakeholders)
and secondary data regarding urban governance, planning and
management. The study reveals that urban governance arrangements in
fast growing mid-sized cities have emerged both formally and
informally to cope with basic urban service needs across a range of
settlement types and socio-cultural groups. The major modes of
governance arrangements in the informal settlements consist of
traditional, formal and informal, and hybrid governance which
co-evolve as their boundaries overlap and intersect through time at
varying levels of 'equilibrium'. The 'governance equilibrium'
represents a 'balance' at a specific point and place in time in how
stakeholders utilize and share resources, and access various
contributions.
