Malang
Malang City, like other cities in Indonesia, generally only grew and developed after the presence of the Dutch colonial government. Public facilities are planned in such a way as to meet the needs of Dutch families. That discriminatory impression still lingers today. For example Ijen Boulevard in the surrounding area. only enjoyed by Dutch and other European families, while the natives had to be satisfied living in the suburbs with inadequate facilities. The area is now like a monument that holds mystery and often invites Dutch families who once lived there to reminisce.
In 1879, Malang City started operating trains and since then Malang City has been growing rapidly. The various needs of the community are increasing, especially for space to carry out various activities. As a result, there was a change in land use, areas that emerged unfettered. Changes in land use are experiencing very rapid changes in housing, such as from agricultural functions to industrial ones.
In line with the developments mentioned above, the urbanization of housing continues and the needs of the community will increase beyond the government's capacity, while the level of urban economy is very limited, which in turn will result in the construction of illegal housing which generally develops around trading areas, along the highways. green, around rivers, railroads and lands that are considered no man's land. After a while, the area became a settlement, and degradation of the quality of the environment began to occur, with all its innate impacts. These symptoms tend to continue to increase, and it is hard to imagine what would have happened had the problem been ignored.
