Abstract

Densely populated urban areas such as Pekojan Village in West Jakarta face various challenges related to environmental quality, basic infrastructure, and social welfare. This study aims to analyze the relationship between existing settlement conditions and the formulation of contextual and applicable sustainable program designs. The method used is a descriptive-qualitative approach through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentary studies. The findings reveal that existing conditions, such as limited green open spaces, an inadequate drainage system, and weak community participation in planning, are key factors influencing the effectiveness of sustainable development programs. Therefore, program design must focus on community-based infrastructure improvements, strengthening local capacity, and gradually integrating sustainable development principles. This study emphasizes the importance of a deep understanding of local characteristics as the foundation for making inclusive and sustainable settlement development policies in urban areas.
