Informal Infrastructure in Megacities: Urban Water Services in Jakarta

---

In many cities of the developing world, dynamic informal infrstructure services work side by side with formal infrastructure services. Informal urban service is almost as important as formal water supply in providing adequate water for urban inhabitants. This research tries to contribute to our understanding of infromal infrastructure services in cities of developing world, using urban water supply in Metropolitan Jakarta as a case study. An indigenous system of urban water vendors operation, the so-caled Sistem Aplus, allows vendors to work in a city while still maintaining their residencies in a village. This fact explains the circular migration phenomenain Jakarta, where temprary farmers in rual areas work and live partly in Jakarta. Informal water vendors operate in a laissez-faire system. They strategize their operations based on markets and consumer behavior. Self-regulation and self-policing among water venders is the effecteive menas of promoting efficiency and safety within the informal water deliveries. In devising the appropirate regulatory framework, it is important to consider the social and political contexts in which water supply market will operate.
