1921 DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN MEDAN

-



Pan-Sumatra Network presents Dr. Kuswandi, Water Resources and Risk Disaster Engineer, in the monthly discussion of June who will share his research about the drainage system in Medan since 1921. It was underground drainage with consideration about the environment, the river flows in the city, hydrologic pattern, the needs of urban utility, and society's behaviors. 

It is a pity that this huge and valuable investment during the Dutch-Indies period was not well maintained and lost its function. 

Is there any possibility to recover it for the current development?

Ternyata Kota Medan memiliki sistem drainase bawah tanah berusia 100 tahun!

Sistem drainase kota yang dirancang dan dibangun masa pemerintahan Belanda itu dikenal dengan Rioleeringsplan Voor Medan 1921.

Sistem drainase dirancang menggunakan drainase bawah permukaan dan berbeda dengan sistem drainase saat ini menggunakan drainase permukaan. 

Rioleeringsplan Voor Medan 1921 dirancang sebagai salah satu utilitas kota yang ramah lingkungan dengan mempertimbangkan bentuk permukaan terhadap sungai yang melintasi kota, pola hidrologi, kebutuhan utilitas kota dan perilaku masyarakat.

Seharusnya rancangan ini bisa beradaptasi dengan pembangunan Kota Medan yang sudah berlangsung selama 100 tahun. Namun pada kenyataannya Kota Medan telah menghadapi masalah genangan kawasan dan lingkungan ketika intensitas curah hujan tinggi selama hampir 10 tahun terakhir. Perubahan fungsi lahan, sistem drainase tidak terintegrasi dan sungai melintasi kota dijadikan penyebab genangan.

REFLECTION ON 2023

Bandung, October 2023 The end of 2023 gets closer.  I am thankful for the health, safety, and opportunities that I have this year.  The year started with good walks to the countryside of Austria. I had to thank my Austrian friends who introduced me to the beauty of nature, the farming life, and also the rich culture of a big city like Vienna. I fell in love with the philosophy of the architect  Friedensreich Hundertwasser: inspired by and back to nature.  In the spring, I had to thank my senior, Donovan Rypkema,  who introduced me to his heritage networks and works around Washington DC. I learned a lot about revitalization of the historical districts of the city.   I continued my journey with the train adventures following the history of the Dutch along the Hudson River until the border of  Canada. The experience with WWOOF USA impressed me. I think I will do it again, in another country next year. Staying in new surroundings with new people delivered fresh insights about life, and al

INFILL DEVELOPMENT

Perpaduan antara bangunan lama dan baru selalu menarik perhatian saya karena saya percaya pelestarian pusaka (heritage conservation) haruslah aktual dan menjawab kebutuhan zaman. Jadi tidak semata-mata dan sama sekali bukan untuk nostalgia. Jika memang niat ada banyak cara untuk mempertahankan bangunan lama dan mengkombinasikannya dengan bangunan baru. Dengan cara ini pelestarian pusaka dan pembangunan baru secara simultan terakomodasi. Solusi seperti ini umumnya disebut Infill Development . Definisinya menurut BUILD, is the economic use of vacant land, or restoration or rehabilitation of existing structures or infrastructure, in already urbanized areas where water, sewer, and other public services are in place, that maintains the continuity of the original community fabric. Solusi Infill Development juga berdasar pada semakin meningkatnya kesadaran tentang pembangunan berkelanjutan dan pelestarian lingkungan hidup. Pendekatan Infill adalah tanggapan terhadap kebijakan pemerintahan
