Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research analyzes the fulfillment of ecological justice in the implementation of spatial planning policies in Pangkalpinang City, with reference to the international framework of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. The study focuses on how ecological justice is realized in the spatial planning process in Pangkalpinang. Using Kuehn's concept of Ecological Justice, the research examines regional spatial planning policies through four key aspects: distributive, corrective, procedural, and social justice. A qualitative research method with an exploratory descriptive approach was employed, utilizing literature review, interviews, and observations for data collection. The findings indicate that while distributive justice is reflected in various programs, a major challenge remains in ensuring sufficient urban green spaces. In terms of corrective justice, environmental policies are in place, but law enforcement needs to be strengthened. Regarding procedural justice, policy formulation does not adequately prioritize community needs, and public participation, particularly from communities and NGOs, remains limited. In the aspect of social justice, many community production lands, green open spaces, and protected areas—such as swamps—are being converted into economic and residential zones. This issue is further exacerbated by government regulations that contribute to environmental degradation. These findings highlight the need for more effective policy formulation and implementation to enhance ecological justice in Pangkalpinang City.
