Abstract
Global climate change induces a shift in the long-term weather pattern which affects the environment and human life. One of the major impacts is found in the water sector, where droughts and floods become an issue, especially in big cities. This problem is worsened by the massive urbanization that causes a significant change in the urban environment. The benefit brought by urbanization also followed with the negative impact as urban development can lead to changes in the natural landscape of the city and influence water run-off and availability, changing river flood systems. Urban revitalization through well-planned urban landscapes is considered as a potential effort to climate mitigation and adaptation. In this research, effective institutional arrangement to deal with flooding is explored using Jakarta as a case study. In Jakarta, one of the causes of flooding is the Ciliwung river, which has a high-rate water flow during rainy seasons. River revitalization has been taken by the government to overcome this problem. However, the issue became complex because the river flows across two provinces and several cities and municipalities. Through semistructured interviews and document analysis, this study investigated how the current institutional arrangement in flood control deal with the complex urban issue through river revitalization. This research identified that strong coordination and commitment of institutions and actors play a significant role to attain transformation for resilient flood risk management through urban revitalization.
