Phenomena of self-organization can be seen in developing cities, although mostly in negative senses. This research is dedicated to show and understand phenomena of self-organization in developing city, particularly Jakarta, which contribute positively to the evolution of urban development. The phenomena are observed and understood from three case studies at the neighborhood level. Those three case studies are explained using three theories of self-organization, i.e. dissipative structure, synergetics and autopoietic, which has different emphasis on how self-organization process may be understood. As conclusion, I argue that interplay of those three manifestations of self-organization is important in self-organization process, in order to reach and maintain the desired state. Furthermore, I formulate the importance into several points of internal and external conditions which may stimulate and strengthen the self-organization process. date: 2013 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/809/1/Thesis_M.M._Hidayanti_-_Self-o_1.pdf identifier: Hidayanti, M.M.
