Abstract
In Jakarta, the majority of the poor provide their own shelter in spontaneous informal settlements. Such
informal settlements are often formed without land titles. Land and buildings are acquired without
authorization from government. Their illegal land occupancy status has deprived them of citizenship rights
and access to basic infrastructure and services. However, many of these settlements have found ways to
survive and gain access to urban services by their own means. NGOs in Indonesia have played a crucial role
in mobilizing the resources of the urban poor community. Despite this, there is little research on how these
NGOs are intervening in the provision and management of urban services.
This paper examines the struggle of one community in an informal settlement known as Kampung Penas
Tanggul. Located along the riverbank of Cipinang River in East Jakarta, this close knit community has
lived under pressure of threatened eviction and lack of infrastructure. Over time, with the assistance of a
NGO, the community has developed a perception of secure tenure in the settlement, which in turn has
generated increased community investment in infrastructure and house consolidation. The research shows
that positive perception on security of tenure is important in encouraging the community to invest in their
settlement. The NGO has played an important role in mobilizing the community’s resources and building
their confidence in developing their settlement. The political reformation in Indonesia has also brought new
hope to communities living in illegal settlements. Analysis of this ‘successful’ case helps us understand
alternative ways of delivering urban services as well as alerting us to opportunities for positive
collaboration among relevant stakeholders.
