On Friday, February 13, 2026, students of the Comprehensive Urban Design Studio participated in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on Spatial Planning for the Low Emission Zone (KRE) of Jeron Beteng. The activity was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Ikaputra and Prof. Bambang Hari Wibisono, and initiated by the Pusat Studi Transportasi dan Logistik UGM. This FGD served as an integral part of the studio learning process, with Jeron Beteng designated as the study object, allowing students to directly engage with real-world urban planning challenges.
The discussion was attended by various relevant stakeholders and designed as a strategic forum to provide direction for the spatial planning of the Jeron Beteng area. The forum emphasized alignment with low-emission development principles, preservation of the area’s cultural values, and the strengthening of sustainable mobility systems. It also highlighted the importance of integrating policy and spatial design approaches to address environmental and urban challenges. Through this forum, students gained valuable insights into collaborative planning processes involving multiple stakeholders.
This activity also reflects contributions to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 3, Sustainable Development Goal 4, Sustainable Development Goal 11, and Sustainable Development Goal 13. The development of low-emission areas supports improved environmental quality that contributes to public health and well-being, while also serving as a practice-based learning platform. Furthermore, the approaches discussed align with global efforts to create inclusive, sustainable, and climate-resilient cities.
