Abstract: The growth of residential areas and settlements that are less livable in the riverside area of Pontianak City,

has an impact on the tendency of developing slum environment that is not in accordance with healthy living

standards. The socioeconomic condition of the low income earners, the unavailability of public facilities and

infrastructure, and the unofficial status of the land, have caused more slum settlements. The objectives of the

study were to identify the causes of slum factors and to analyze the dominant factors of slum. Obtained from

descriptive study approach with literature study technique and field survey, primary data and secondary data

were analyzed quantitatively and scored as to formulate aspects that caused slum dwellings in densely

populated settlements on the banks of the Kapuas River, especially in Sub-district of Benua Melayu Laut. The

conclusion is that the causal factors in the settlement area of Kelurahan Benua Melayu Laut are population,

residential building condition, condition of infrastructure and basic facilities, socio-economic condition.

1 INTRODUCTION

The essence of urban area planning based on the

principles of sustainability is an important role in

producing quality of urban built environment that is

able to attract the care of residents and citizens of the

city, and able to provide comfort for activities.

Implementation of a responsive environment in the

context of the urban environment can be explained as

follows: The existence of places and spaces for urban

activities, such as living, working, recreation, that

provides security for every citizen, the Environment

and urban areas that must have a good identity and

identity to develop a sense of togetherness and to have

a sense of belonging, the Environment and urban

areas that must offer opportunities, imaginations of

images and excitement / joy for every citizen, and the

Urban Environment that must be able to give meaning

to every citizen (design for all) and be able to offer a

place to live decently and well. This study will

discuss the condition of slums in settlements in the

Benua Melayu Laut Village.

2 METHOD

The research method used is field observations to

obtain an overview of the conditions, characteristics,

and formulation of issues related to water issues in the

settlement area of the Kapuas river bank. Secondary

data is obtained through literature studies and related

agency surveys. The analytical method used is

qualitative descriptive analysis and interviews with

relevant stakeholders, namely the Head of Benua

Melayu Laut Village.

consisting of 5,162 men and 5,120 women, with a

population density of 1800 people / ha.

Data on potential of the village were obtained

from the profile of BML Village. The village has

educational facilities that are 1 kindergarten and 2

elementary schools. There is no Junior High School

and Senior High School in the village. Places of

worship in the village are 5 mosques, 7 musalla(s), 1

is 0 unit, public rainwater storage for 1003 families, 1

public hydrant, PDAM for 984 households, other

sources for 794 households. The following will

explain the analysis results of the level of slums in

Benua Melayu Laut Village.

Table 1: Quality of Non Economic Vitality Criteria.

Source: Results of Analysis, 2018.

Based on the analysis of the value of slums level in

terms of Non-Economic Vitality Criteria, it can be

concluded that the value of slums was 270, and the

percentage of slum values from the entire study area was

67.5%. Because the value of 270 was in between 319-239,

the value of the degree of slums was categorized as medium

slum.

Table 2: Quality of Infrastructure Criteria and Facilities.

Source: Results of Analysis, 2018.

Based on the analysis of the value of slums level

in terms of Economic Vitality Criteria, it can be

concluded that the value of slums was 130, the

percentage of slum values from all study areas,

namely BML, was 87%. Because the value of 130

was inbetween 150-120, the value of the degree of

slums was categorized as high slum. The degree of

integrity was reviewed from the criteria of economic

vitality.

Based on the analysis of the slums level which

was viewed from the Criteria of Land Status, it can be

concluded that the value of slums was 50 and the

percentage of slum values from all study areas was

50%. Because the value of 50 was in between 58-38,

the degree of slums was categorized as low slum. The

degree of integrity was reviewed from the Land

Status criteria.

Table 4: Quality of Infrastructure Criteria and Facilities.

Based on the analysis of the value of the slums

level in terms of the Infrastructure Criteria and

facilities, the value of the slum of 160 was obtained.

The percentage of slum values from all study areas,

witch is Kelurahan BML, was 64%. Because the

value of 160 was in between 199-149, the value of the

degree of slums was categorized as medium slum.

The degree of integrity was reviewed from the criteria

of infrastructure and facilities.

Based on the analysis of the slums level which is

viewed from the Criteria for Land Status, it can be

concluded that the value of slums was 140, and the

percentage of slum values from all study areas is 56%.

Because the value of 140 was in between 148-98, the

value of the degree of slums was categorized as low

slum. The value of this degree of integrity was reviewed

from the criteria of Government Commitment.

Table 5: Analysis of Calculation of Degrees of Slum Levels

Reviewed From Government Commitments.

Based on the analysis of the value of the slums

level in terms of the Priority Handling Criteria, the

slum value of 460 was obtained, and the percentage

of slum values from all study areas was 92%. Because

the value of 460 was in the range between 500-400,

the degree of slums was categorized as high slum.

The degree of severity was reviewed from the Priority

Handling criteria.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Results of Weighting Criteria for Slum Settlement

Areas in Benua Melayu Laut Village, South

Pontianak Subdistrict concluded that from the six

criteria for weighting slum areas in Benua Melayu

Laut Village, the highest priority criteria for handlers

with a percentage of 90% illustrates that this criterion

has a very large impact on increasing slums in Melayu

Laut Village While in criteria for land qwnership

status with a percentage of 50% (lowest) indicate a

low level of slum. It means that most people in the

Kelurahan Benua Melayu Laut already have land that

has certification for ownership.
