Land Value Capture Modeling in Commercial and Office Areas using a Big Data Approach

Infrastructure development in Indonesia creates massive impacts on the economy. The Light rail transit (LRT) of greater Jakarta (Jabodebek) project has been estimated to have cost more than 29 trillion rupiahs due to land acquisition and route planning. The urban transit development may impact to the price of property including residential, commercials and offices along the route. This research aims to determine variables affecting the price elasticity of property and the correlation to station proximity. Data mining through web scrapping was used to assess the degree of correlation between price elasticity and station location. The result shows that approximately 13% of the commercial property was spread over a distance of 1 km from the LRT station. The closer a property to transit station, the price will be twice cheaper compared to those located further. The findings also show variables that highly contribute to property prices including schools, hospitals, and proximity to some of transit stations located in city center of Jakarta and building density

Multi-Criteria Decision Making for Photovoltaic Alternatives: A Case Study in Hot Climate Country

Photovoltaic (PV) experiences significant growth and has installed in many locations worldwide over the past decades. However, selecting the best alternative of PV system remains a problem in developing countries which often involves both interest and multiple objectives and from stakeholders. This research aims to select ideal PV model in an isolated island in the eastern part of Indonesia. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) will provide an ideal solution that uses a systematic process of decision making. This research proposes an alternative concept of MCDM by taking into account best-worst method and VIKOR method. In general, the main purpose of the both methods are to obtain weights and rank alternatives with the advantages of less information required and produce a more consistent result compared to AHP method. The result shows the best alternative for PV installation, which offers the highest power and potentially developed not only for daily access to electricity but also to support economic activities such as tourism and aquaculture

Creating Added Value for Urban Transit in Developing Country: A Case Study of Transit-Oriented Development Project

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is an approach of regional development in which there is a concept of integration between land, transportation, environment, and use. However, as a new idea in Indonesia, the development of TOD cannot be found yet. the TOD project for Jakarta LRT is the first idea for TOD implementation in Indonesia. From the results of the initial evaluation, it was found that the prepared TOD design of Jakarta LRT still refers to the development of conventional apartment buildings. The implication of this practice is that the benefits of TOD are not utilized, and regional development will not be in line with expectations. This research aims to improve the function of the project while fulfilling the characteristics of TOD by producing alternative designs that have added value. To achieve this goal, Value Engineering studies are used as the methods. After the benchmarking with case studies are done, the process of developing the existing TOD design is then carried out. As a result, the design of the conceptual development of TOD for Jakarta LRT is proposed as an alternative to the conventional property development, in which the benefits of TOD implementation can be obtained

Infrastructure Performance Indicators for Sea and Air Transportation Sectors in Indonesia

This research is conducted to assess infrastructure performance in Indonesian sea and air transportation sector. The performances are assessed based on indicators which are identified within the initiation of this research. There are seven indicators identified which are the number of infrastructure existed; passengers demand per year; cargo demand per year; local government revenue; passenger growth per year; cargo growth per year; and the city population. The aim of this paper is to present the most significant indicators which are affecting the infrastructure performance. Based on a descriptive analysis, it can be showed that these indicators affect Indonesian sea and air transportation performance. Three perspectives from central government, local government and academics were further elaborated in this paper. From the government point of view, the most important indicator of sea and air transportation performance are the numbers of ports or airports and passenger growth per year

Enhancing Value for Money of Mega Infrastructure Projects Development Using Value Engineering Method

AbstractInfrastructure development plays an important role to stimulate the nation's economic growth. During 2011, infrastructure industry contributed 5.5% to the GDP of Indonesia with real growth of 9.3%. Two mega infrastructure projects have been developed in the past few years: Sunda Strait Bridge (SSB) to connect Sumatra and Java Islands, thus increase economic integration between the two major islands, and; Soekarno-Hatta International Rail Link (SHIARL) as an alternative mass transportation which is expected to provide accessibility and mobility for people and goods around Greater Jakarta area to the airport. The two mega infrastructure projects listed in MP3EI program in 2011 required comprehensive study in the aspects of planning, funding, and techniques of projects developments. This research is proposed to produce a conceptual design of SSB and SHIARL in order to gain maximum result and generate added values to the projects. This research employed a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods through questionnaire survey distributed to the related stakeholders of the projects and focus group discussion (FGD). The results identified additional functions for innovation to both mega infrastructure projects. Life cycle cost analysis confirmed that there is an increasing in value for money from the additional functions in respective projects

Towards Self-sufficient Demand in 2030: Analysis of Life-cycle Cost for Indonesian Energy Infrastructure

In 2015, the government of Indonesia launched the development of The 35,000 MW of power capacity. This project is required to stimulate economic growth and production in Indonesia. However, the project requires a huge financial investment, estimated to be about US$ 90.90 billion. Considering this situation, the construction of effective and efficient power plants based on energy potential in Indonesia is necessary. This research proposes alternative power plant development based on multiple linear regression and peak load analysis approaches. The results of this research show that 33% of the total power plants will be constructed in Java-Bali and the remaining 67% will be spread across Indonesia. Total energy demand in Indonesia is estimated at about 47.345 MW, with a total investment cost of about 1,813.32 trillion rupiah and operation and maintenance costs of about 289.13 trillion rupiahs per year. The research presented here also shows the use of renewable energy power plants increasing from 27% to 34% compared to the existing calculation

Investigation of an Operation And Maintenance Framework in the Railway Industry: A Case Study of the Makassar-Parepare

Railways play a significant role in daily life, offering speed, safety and massive capacity for delivering people from one place to another. However, developing countries such as Indonesia are currently encountering problems related to Operation and Maintenance (OM) contracts. Railway operators are mostly experiencing a negative rate of return when operations depend only on farebox revenue. Thus, an alternative approach that includes government involvement should be instigated to improve project performance. This research aims to evaluate the contract agreement between the state, in the form of the Ministry of Transportation, and business entities in the operation and maintenance phase. The Makassar–Parepare railway section on Sulawesi Island is used as a case study. The study uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches that follow three stages: assessing the initial design; generating an alternative OM scheme; and propose a suitable OM scheme. The results indicate five components that should be considered when developing an OM contract, namely the tariff, risk, feasibility, subsidy and period of the contract. The study recommends a five-year contract for operation and maintenance, and the government should assign a business entity to manage available assets in the project

Developing Conceptual Design of High Speed Railways using Value Engineering Method: Creating Optimum Project Benefits

As a consequence of an improvement in productivity, due to shorter travel time and further development in connectivity, a High Speed Train (HST) project is one kind of infrastructure which has a potential for positive impact on economic development and growth. However, HST project feasibility rarely meets related stakeholders’ expectations, since the benefits and added value are considered low, when compared to the value of investment. Therefore, a comprehensive study is required by producing innovative ideas to improve the feasibility of HST projects, from the viewpoint of both technical and economic aspects. This study is aimed at improving the feasibility of project investment for the conceptual design of Jakarta-Surabaya HST project by using Value Engineering (VE). The methodology uses both qualitative and quantitative approaches through in-depth interviews and life cycle cost analysis. Route 1 selected as the best scenario that has 4 stations connecting Jakarta to Cirebon to Semarang, and to Surabaya. The HST project requires a budget of 36 Trillion IDR with operational and maintenance costs estimated for about 1.2 Billion IDR per year for 685 km of high speed train infrastructure

Rail liberalization for Indonesian railways: Learn from the experience of Germany and France

The European Union (EU) has long been regarded as a model for global rail liberalization. Rail reform experiences from EU members have been well documented in recent years to comply with new EU legislation requiring EU members to introduce competition for passenger rail services beginning in 2020. However, outside of Europe, the discussion of rail restructuring remains limited. This article examined rail reform in South East Asia, more specifically in Indonesia, by examining domestic policy, access charges, and pricing principles, as well as market growth. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of two European Union members – Germany and France – to identify lessons learned. Several critical issues include the following: 1) the vertical integration model used in France and Germany can be adopted with some adjustments to accommodate the national context; 2) government support through the use of subsidies cannot be separated from public transportation such as railways, but the amount will most likely depend on the rail market, policy, and institutional landscape; and 3) an independent regulatory body should be established to open the rail market to competition and promote fair access and contracting
