Daisy’s Landscape Activism

This area is called ‘Kampung Code’. It is located in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The movement is initiated by Yusuf Bilyarta Mangunwihaya or known as Romo Mangun. This project was initiated in the at 1980s during the new order regime. At that time there was duality function in which the military officers could have a position in the government and they treated the poor people poorly. At first poor people who lived in the area were homeless who built their home with cardboards and scrap materials. That caused them problems when there’s a heavy rain which caused the river to flood and washed their ‘homes’ away.

Initially the government wanted to demolish the area. However, he is a strong believer that the people deserve to have a home and good well-being despite their economic condition. So he proposed that he will build the village with the locals. He educated the locals in building proper houses that suits the climate. In order for the people to still have their home in the area.

Until this day, the locals do not know where Romo Mangun was able to provide the materials to build their homes. Because they only provided the energy to build their home. This project was considered a big movement at the time and they won Agha Khan award in 1992. Up until this day, this project still generate income for local tourism for the locals.
