This project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GTZ in cooperation with the ASEAN Secretariat. This report describes a “roadmap” which documents some key issues and challenges facing Palembang’s air quality now and in the future. It also describes the data and analytical requirements, time frame and resources needed to establish a technically sound but practical CAP for the city. An important feature of the project design is that the CAP will be prepared by the city with full involvement of the public and civil society. This approach will assist in facilitating implementation of the CAP. Previous efforts for public involvement failed to attain the consistency and follow-through needed to gain full public support. To utilize this road map, the City of Palembang would first establish a Technical Team. This Team would guide the initial steps of establishing a stakeholder process. One of the first results of the stakeholder process would be a vision and goals statement. The stakeholder process would then inform establishment of a Guidance Board. The important first step is to quickly establish effective administrative arrangements to enable preparation of the CAP to commence as soon as possible. GTZ will support project preparation by providing specialized technical resources and by assisting to mobilize additional funding from other donors to enable implementation. It also is expected that the city and relevant agencies would use some of their own funds for implementation. As identified by the February 2010 GTZ mission to Palembang, several key activities are then proposed to address data gaps and incorporate important methodological approaches. These key activities to be undertaken as part of the preparation of the Clean Air Plan are: Management • Establish Technical Team and GTZ counterpart team. • Conduct series of stakeholder scoping meetings; develop agreement on mechanisms and procedure for stakeholder involvement. • Establish Guiding Board and commence regular meetings • Preparation of Clean Air Plan, including implementation program. I Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region Public Involvement • Conduct Vision and Goals workshop as first public input workshop • Conduct Public Communication Strategy workshop: defining outreach and awareness program; • Conduct Findings and Options workshop: consolidated reporting of all findings and possible options for consideration by public and decision makers; • Conduct Proposals workshop: evaluation of costs, benefits and dis-benefits and implementation strategy; and • Conduct CAP Presentation and Implementation workshop: presentation of completed plan, review of remaining issues, initial implementation steps Technical • Conduct rapid review of CNG conversion program. • Review air quality data based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria; establish procedures for implementing use of mobile monitoring station including intensive training of the operational team. • Establish an emission inventory for stationary, area and mobile sources, including ships. • Evaluate related programs and optimize synergy. • Review demand estimates for TransMusi and prepare / revise financial model for operation of the system. • Prepare options for enhancement of TransMusi service and financial performance. • Review and expand the existing vehicle inspection system, define vehicle emission standards, and prepare for the implementation of a low-emission zone; • Prepare and execute public involvement process for low-emission zone creation. • Analyze options for control of stationary sources. A proposed schedule for implementation of this roadmap is presented which shows that a CAP could be established within eleven months. A draft contents of what the CAP may contain is shown in Annex A. II Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background The Project "Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region" is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GTZ in cooperation with the ASEAN Secretariat. It aims to empower local governments of smaller cities (non-metropolitan/secondary cities) to develop and implement “Clean Air Action Plans” in order to improve living conditions. The local Governments of up to two cities each out of seven of the ten ASEAN member countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) will receive advisory services in the development and implementation of clean air plans with the participation of the private sector, academia, and civil society. ASEAN will coordinate and support the project implementation through the ASEAN Working Group for Environmentally Sustainable Cities. The implementation responsibility, however, rests with the cities. The cities are supported by the respective national authorities, in particular when it comes to legal framework and emission standards development. National workshops will be held in at least five ASEAN countries. Civil society, private sectors and other stakeholders will be involved in the development and execution of clean air measures. The aim of these workshops is to create awareness and trigger the motivation of the public to support the measures. The process will include training for public, private, and non-government sectors at regional, national and local levels. The national level will be involved to support cities with the relevant legal and institutional framework. International conferences at ASEAN level will take place once a year with the purpose of disseminating experience gained from the selected cities to others. 1.2 Context The Palembang Environmental Agency is the implementing agency for the Clean Air Project in the Municipality of Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. A GTZ identification mission visited Palembang during February 1-3, 2010 to prepare a road map for a clean air plan (CAP) for the municipality. The mission team consisted of: Roland Haas, Project Director of GTZ Axel Friederich, Consultant John Ernst. Consultant Dollaris R. Suhadi, Consultant Ahmad Safrudin, GTZ Mahalana Aditya Mahalana, Consultant Linda Krisnawati, Indonesian Ministry of Environment. Mr. Roland Haas presented the Road Map to the Mayor and senior staff of his administration on 24 June 2010. Findings and recommendations were agreed. 1 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region Palembang has made major strides in recent years to improve its environmental performance. Five years ago, the Indonesian Ministry of Environment rated it as the worst city in Indonesia. In 2007 and 2008, as a result of strong initiatives of the Mayor of Palembang, the city received the Adipura award for being the cleanest city in Indonesia. This ‘road map’ identifies the key issues and challenges facing Palembang’s air quality now and in the future, so as to establish a technically sound but practical CAP for Palembang. 1.3 Purpose of this Report This report is not the clean air plan for Palembang. It presents the ‘road map’ toward that plan, based on the findings of the GTZ mission to Palembang during 1-3 February 2010. It presents the initial findings on: 1) the air quality in Palembang, 2) the status of air quality monitoring, 3) what is known about emissions sources, 4) promising areas for improving air quality in Palembang, and 5) an assessment of the potential for public participation along with a strategy for maximizing its effectiveness. This road map provides a suggested approach, as well as a table of contents, for a CAP for Palembang. Finally, this ‘road map’ report includes suggested steps to establish the CAP. This ‘road map’ should be viewed as a living document, to be modified and improved so as to be most effective for the City of Palembang in achieving its clean air goals. The mission and subsequent analysis used to prepare this report were brief, so all findings in this report should be regarded as preliminary, to be modified as needed during preparation of the CAP. 1.4 Acknowledgements This report is prepared by John Ernst, with input from Axel Friederich and the GTZ Indonesian team: Ms. Dollaris R. Suhadi, Mr. Ahmad Safrudin, and Mr. Mahalana Aditya Mahalana To avoid duplication of effort this report utilizes the outline and applicable content from the report for GTZ on the Draft Road Map Towards a Clean Air Plan for Vientiane, Laos prepared for GTZ by Phil Sayeg, November 2009. The authors wish to express their appreciation to the Mayor of Palembang and the City government for their extensive cooperation and warm hospitality during the initial mission. We also wish to thank those participants from various sectors of Palembang society for their cooperation and helpful input. 2 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 2.0 Overview of Palembang and Environment 2.1 Urban Structure and Trends Palembang is located along the Musi River in the south of the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. It is the capital city of the Province of South Sumatra, and the second largest city in Sumatra after Medan. Palembang has a population of 1.5 million in an area of 400 square km. The city has dedicated 8.76 square km to open/green area 1. The population is growing at a rate of approximately 2% per annum. The population of South Sumatra is currently about 40% urban, but projected to be over 50% urban within 10-years. Recent population estimates for each of Palembang’s 14 sub-districts are shown in Table 2.1.

Map with projected population densities for Palembang. [source: __] According to a plan developed in 2004, Palembang is envisioned to develop as two primary centers, one north and one south of the Musi River. It is envisioned the city will have 3 secondary centers and 5 tertiary centers (see Figure 2.2). These centers are primarily designed as focal points for accessing public services. 4 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region Figure 2.2. Structural concept for development of Palembang City. Source: __] 2.2 Transportation System Palembang’s intercity public transport includes an airport, rail, river boat and bus. The airport has over 500,000 yearly arrivals with approximately 2% annual growth. Three river jetties provide for approximately 50,000 arrivals per year. While the rail network is limited, the Palembang station records roughly 1.2 million arrivals per year. There are 8 bus terminals in the city. Transportation within the city is dominated by small motor cycles, though both motorcycles and cars have been growing rapidly (see Table 2.1). Table 2.1. Motor vehicle registrations in Palembang, and recent growth rates.

The growth in private motor vehicles and decrease in public transport vehicles indicates an underlying problem with the preferred mode of citizens. The city has begun to counteract this by creating the TransMusi bus system, and implementing significant pedestrian improvements along the Musi River waterfront and other selected areas. No data is currently available on the modal split of trips in Palembang. (Note that Figure 2.2 shows the percentages of vehicle registrations, not the modal split of trips.) Further, there is no data yet obtained on the modal split of all trips, including non-motorized trips. The TransMusi system was scheduled to begin operation in early 2010. It utilizes curb-side, high-level (approximately 1 meter above street level) boarding platforms. New buses have been purchased to operate on the system, also with high-level doors. Potential problems exist with operating this system, especially in terms of financial performance. This is further described in Section 5.3, ‘Issues to Address’. Figure 2.2. Motorized vehicle registration proportions in Palembang in 2008. Source: Ditlantas Polda SUMSEL [Palembang Transportation Grand Design Oct2009] Prior to the construction of TransMusi, all public transport services were provided by the private sector through a variety of mid-size buses and paratransit vehicles. Private taxis, informal motorcycle taxis (ojek), and non-motorized 3-wheeled rickshaws (becak) also provide service in Palembang. 6 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 2.3 Air Quality Standards The National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) cover suspended particulate matter (SPM), particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns in diameter (PM10). sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), lead and carbon monoxide (CO). The standards are less stringent than World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, see table 2.2. The Province of South Sumatra has its own regional ambient air quality standards. The provincial standards are equivalent to the NAAQS. Table 2.2. Indonesian National Ambient Air Quality Standards and WHO Guidelines a WHO Global update 2005; b WHO 2000 2.4 Existing Air Quality Complete information on the air quality in Palembang does not exist. The limited data available show very high levels of PM10 and nitrogen oxides. Although, it is not clear how the measurements were performed or evaluated, the levels indicate a severe existing air pollution problem. As one indicator, upper respiratory infections were the highest number of reported health cases of those monitored during a period from 2003 to 2007. Upper respiratory health symptoms are frequently related to, or aggravated by, air pollution. 2 2 From 2009 Clean Air Plan for Palembang [full reference pending] 7 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region Measurement of air quality in several locations over the period of 2007-2009 indicates that nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and PM10 are critical parameters. The levels of these two parameters have exceeded the standard by a factor of 1.005-1.64 for NO2 and 1.03-2.5 for PM10 in some locations. Interestingly, in some other locations, the levels of PM10 have shown improvement. The levels of hydrocarbons also show an increasing trend in 11 of 14 locations measured during 2007-2008. Sulfur dioxide levels also tended to increase in the majority of monitoring locations (78%), although the levels of SO2 are within the Indonesian standards. 2.5 Sources An emissions inventory has not been conducted in Palembang. Air pollution is known to occur from an oil refinery, fertilizer plant, and rubber glove industry. Additional emissions come from many smaller enterprises, workshops and households. Relevant emissions also come from the burning of agricultural waste and local garbage. Further, the use of paints, degreasing and other diffuse sources cause significant air pollution. Some measurements of motor vehicle emissions have been conducted in Palembang. A test of 148 gasoline vehicles in March 2009 showed that 90% met Indonesia’s current emission standards. However, the very high levels of NO2 measured along major roads in 2008 indicates that motor vehicles are a significant source of pollution in Palembang, as motor vehicles are the main source of this pollutant in many cities around the world. Motor vehicles also emit carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons including benzene, and particulates. Off-road vehicles, such as construction machinery can also produce significant emissions. 8 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 3.0 Regulatory and Administrative Framework 3.1 Regulatory Framework While Indonesia has no specific legislation for regulating and managing air quality, the constitution and other environmental legislation provides a legal basis for government action. The constitution of Indonesia protects the rights of every person to enjoy a good and healthy environment. A 2009 Act on Environmental Protection and Management (Act No 32/2009) reaffirms that right, updating the previous Act (No 23/1997) toward Environmental Management. These laws provide for public information on the environment, and provide for restrictions on activities that exceed environmental quality standards. Regulations 3 issued under the 1997 Environmental Management Act set ambient air quality standards, as well as emission standards for industrial activities and motor vehicles. The regulations also allow provincial governments to issue their own standards that are equivalent to, or more stringent than, the national government standards. This authority does not extend to cities. (The national air quality standards are shown in Section 2.3.) For transportation, Act No. 22/2009, which replaces the Act No. 14/1992 on Traffic and Road Transportation, is the legal basis for the management of land transportation, including the control of vehicle emissions. As a result of the new Act, the implementing regulations to the previous Act No. 14/1992 must be revised. Currently the revision process is underway and is expected to be completed by June 2010. The new Act stipulates that the vehicle emission test is an integral part of the roadworthiness test, and that the responsibility for vehicle emission testing lies with the transportation office. Periodic roadworthiness and emission tests are mandatory for public vehicles, but are not mandated for private vehicles. Depending on how the implementing regulations are revised, the lack of a mandate for private vehicle testing could be interpreted as allowing local governments to regulate emission tests for passenger cars and/or motorcycles through legislation for their geographic area. Several environmental agencies in Indonesia (Jakarta, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and Bandung), considering it a priority to control air pollution from mobile sources, took the initiative by issuing a regional bylaw on inspection and maintenance for passenger cars and motorcycles. In those decentralized systems, emission tests will be carried out by the private sector in automotive workshops. The 2009 Traffic and Road Transport Act also provides for segregated lanes for mass public transport, and the rights of pedestrians to pedestrian facilities. Important new provisions in this Act relate to the road fund to be collected from road users and managed by a unit in the Ministry of Public Works. The law provides for funded construction to include bicycle lanes, pedestrian pathways and crossings in road facilities. Some local governments in Indonesia have issued laws and regulations which regulate traffic management and road transportation, and transport policy. The Jakarta government has 3 Government Regulation No 41/1999 toward Air Pollution Control 9 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region issued a macro transportation plan including improvements to public transportation such as BRT and river transportation, as well as transport demand management such as traffic and parking restrictions. The City of Surabaya has issued Bylaw No. 7/2006 on Provision of Road Public Transport, which includes regulation of public transport services based on road hierarchy, and sets a maximum age for public transport vehicles. For new vehicles, government regulations 4 mandate that new vehicles sold in Indonesia must comply with Euro 2 standard starting January 2005. However, this regulation did not become effective until January 2007 when the use of leaded gasoline was completely phased-out. According to the Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (Gaikindo), all new gasoline vehicles and new motorcycles sold in Indonesia complied with the Euro 2 standard in 2007 5. The poor quality of diesel fuel sold in the country hinders compliance by new diesel vehicles with the Euro 2 standard, which requires a maximum of 500 part per million (ppm) sulfur in diesel, while much of Indonesia’s diesel fuel contains 5000 ppm of sulfur. The legal basis for the provision of cleaner fuel, Act No. 22/2001 concerning Oil and Gas, provides for the implementation of fuel specifications set by the Directorate General of Oil and Gas. This Act allows companies other than the state-owned oil company Pertamina to produce and distribute fuel. The opening of the downstream market, if followed with tightened fuel specifications, can push the production and distribution of cleaner fuel and enable the application of vehicle technology to further reduce vehicle emissions. The Ministry of Environment conducts a fuel inspection program yearly to ensure that vehicle fuel specifications are complied with. 3.1.1 Management of Stationary Sources Although it does not specifically regulate air quality management, Act No. 5/1984 on Industrial Activities prohibits activities that damage the quality of the environment and ecosystem. One of the implementing regulations of this Act 6 binds industry to comply with environmental regulations as one of the requirements to obtain a business license. In addition, a regulation on Environmental Impact Analysis and its implementing guidelines 7 requires the proponents of activities to prepare and implement an environmental management and monitoring plan. Industrial permits are granted by regency/city government for activities located in the respective regency/city. The environmental agency at the respective level assesses the feasibility of planned activities and requires proponents to prepare an environmental 4 Ministry of Environment Decree No. 141/2003 concerning Emission Standard Limits for New Types of Motor Vehicles and Motor Vehicles in Current Production 5 Association of Indonesia Motorcycle Industries (AISI) 2008 6 Government Regulation No. 13/1995 on Industrial Business Licenses 7 Government Regulation No. 27/1999 10 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region management plan and environmental monitoring plan including emission standard compliance plan. Enforcement of industrial emission regulations is conducted by the Environmental Agency in the region (province/regency/city) 3.1.2 Existing Regulations in Palembang Palembang has a bylaw on air quality (Perda No. 5 and No. 17 Year 2005 concerning Emissions Standards and Ambient Air Quality Standards). Palembang also has a Mayoral Decree on the implementation of ambient air quality measurement and analysis in major arterial road intersections. Additional research is needed to determine how these regulations affect and contribute to the development of the CAP. 3.1.3 Climate Change Mitigation Indonesia accessed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1994 and is a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol which it ratified in 2004. The 2007 National Action Plan (NAP) on Climate Change is Indonesia’s guiding document on climate change efforts. It guides various agencies in carrying out efforts to tackle climate change and sets the requirements for institutional coordination. The National Council for Climate Change was established to coordinate the implementation of climate change mitigation efforts. Headed by the President, the Council functions as Indonesia’s Designated National Agency for the clean development mechanism (CDM), and is responsible for assessing, evaluating, and monitoring CDM activities in Indonesia. The National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) has also issued a National Development Planning Response to Climate Change. This document aims to mainstream environmental and natural resource considerations into the development planning process. It also discusses funding mechanism for climate change mitigation and adaptation programs. The Ministry of Environment is the lead agency for identifying ‘Measurable, Reportable and Verifiable’ mechanisms for National Appropriate Mitigation Actions in Indonesia. 3.2 Administrative Framework The current distribution of responsibilities of relevance to the CAP is shown in Table 3.1.

The process utilized citizen input and resulted in a report produced in November 2009. The plan does not appear to have attained significant public support for its implementation, with some participants complaining of a lack of clarity on the process and follow-through from the government. Additional discussion is needed to determine the shortcomings of that plan and how to address them. 12 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 4.0 Organizational, Stakeholder and Public Participation Approach This section presents an initial description of the relevant stakeholders whose views need to be incorporated during the preparation of a Clean Air Plan. It also describes the team’s initial perception of the critical issues to each stakeholder group, and a suggested process for improving public participation. 4.1 Stakeholder Groups The following is an initial list of stakeholder groups. The team recognizes that a comprehensive listing is generally not possible at the outset, as important individuals and groups will emerge as part of the roadmap process. 4.1.1 National Government Primary responsibility for air quality concerns lies with the Indonesian Ministry of Environment, which is coordinating GTZ’s implementation of this project in Indonesia. In addition, the Ministry of Transport & Communication’s Department of Transportation implements programs which affect transport and air quality. Two of these programs, bus rapid transit and CNG conversion, are now in active implementation in Palembang. Additional agencies that may be relevant at the national level are: Directorate General of Oil and Gas (Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources), for CNG policy; Police Department, for vehicle inspection & maintenance enforcement; Fiscal Policy Agency, regarding tax incentives for low emission vehicles, CNG conversion kit, AAQMS, etc.; National Planning Agency (BAPPENAS), to integrate the CAP in long-term / mid-term national development planning and the national blue print); Department of Public Works, transport infrastructure; and Land Use Planning Directorate General, for spatial planning. Programs supported by foreign funds have to be reported to BAPPENAS for coordination purposes. 4.1.2 Provincial Government The South Sumatra Provincial Government is based in Palembang City and in some areas has overlapping roles with the City Government. In particular, transport and land use projects that span a wider geographic area than the city itself are implemented through the Provincial government. At the present time, the team is aware of one JICA project in the transport sector being implemented through the provincial transportation agency. The provincial government is also involved in land use decisions, including the citing of industry and other point source emissions, which may impact air quality in Palembang. 13 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 4.1.3 Palembang City Government The Palembang City government is the primary public agency for implementation of actions to improve air quality in the city. Actions are implemented on behalf of the Mayor by the City Secretary. The city planning agency (BAPPEDA) provides coordination among the agencies involved and integrates their actions into the planning process. The team anticipates further discussions with the Palembang City government to clarify how the CAP can best be managed and implemented, with full consideration to the aspects identified in Sections 5 & 6 of this document. 4.1.4 Civil Society During the initial team visit to Palembang, issues emerged regarding the involvement of civil society in governmental processes and actions. For purposes of discussion, civil society is broadly divided into 3 segments: NGO, academia and community. Non-Government Organizations The NGOs interviewed during initial meetings indicated they were strongly active in broader environmental issues including land use, wetland protection, conversion of land to palm oil plantations, forest destruction, and burning of natural areas. They expressed a frustration with previous initiatives to address environmental issues and the involvement processes utilized. Experience with previous international programs also left participants with questions about the purpose and follow-up from their involvement. This frustration has also been expressed by other NGOs in Palembang and appears to be a result of decentralization leaving local governments inadequately prepared to handle public involvement process (Sarosa et al. 2008). During this process, the following NGO’s were interviewed: Name Organization Hadi Jatmiko & Anwar Sadat Walhi (Friends of the Earth - Indonesia) Ruspanda Karibullah Network of Architecture Professionals - Indonesia Ali Goik Kuala Merdeka Foundation Tubagus Rachmat Uplink Russyanto Cakra Foundation Ahmad Muhaimin Impalm Foundation Ade Indriani Zuchri OWA Sudanto Manulo Indonesian Rotan M Syarifudin KPMB H Awi Amir GAPKI Ismail Hamid DPC Organda Palembang During the first stages of the process identified in this document, additional meetings should be held with NGOs and individual persons of influence to identify additional persons and groups with interests in clean air. For example, the local chapter of the Indonesian NGO 14 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region ‘Bike-2-Work’ may wish to be involved because of the connection between transport and clean air. An initial list of potential NGO and community based organizations is shown in Annex B. Academia Palembang benefits from several academic institutions which may be well-positioned to support and inform the public during the preparation of the CAP. Universities can provide data and inputs to public discussion separate from the government’s information. This can broaden the discussion and help to build trust. The mission met with some faculty of Sriwijaya University and learned about their ongoing research and transportation modeling. These efforts are separate from government research, giving the potential to both verify government conclusions and identify areas requiring further research. There is potential for local universities to function as centers of excellence, which could help to lead initiatives for change regarding improving air quality as a part of the development agenda. The following members of academic institutions were interviewed: Name Organization Mustopa M Batubara PPSL University of Muhammadiyah Palembang M Subardin Economic Faculty, University of Sriwijaya Indra Yustiana, Zaidun PPLH, University of Sriwijaya Ahmad Syafawi Politeknik Sriwijaya (POLSRI) Bakri PPMAL, University of Sriwijaya Bakri Oeman Pasca Sarjana, University of Sriwijaya Joni Arliansyah Pasca Sarjana, University of Sriwijaya Erika Buchari Pasca Sarjana, University of Sriwijaya Melaway A Pasca Sarjana, University of Sriwijaya Media While technically in the private sector, the media frequently represents the broader public interest. Clear communication with the media, and explanation of the issues involved, assists in the spread of useful information to the public. Current media work shows a strong interest in reporting on environmental issues of interest to the public, including air pollution. An informed public is better able to follow and support efforts to improve the air quality of Palembang. Some of the media met during the mission included: Name Organization Ibrahim LKBN Antara Hakim K Intel TBS 15 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region Health Sector Doctors are very often aware of the health problems connected with air pollution. It is recommended to include the association of doctors in the process of developing a CAP. Community In addition to NGOs, academic institutions and media, there are broader components of community with strong interests in clean air for Palembang. Initial discussions did not indicate a broad general awareness of air quality issues. However, developing initial information on the clean air issue and its implications for human health, transportation, business development and other aspects of society will help to identify individuals and community organizations concerned about clean air. Many community base organization have arisen to respond to public interest issues (see Annex B). 4.1.6 Private Sector The private sector, referring primarily to business interests, has a significant role in several aspects of Palembang’s air quality. Several large industries, including petrochemical, metal and heavy equipment, food and beverage, leather processing, rubber processing and rubber goods manufacturing, support Palembang’s economy, and are also point-sources of air pollutants. The private sector also operates Palembang’s public transit vehicles under regulation of the Palembang Transportation Agency. Palembang’s newly constructed CNG station is owned and operated by a publicly-owned private company. Industry can be expected to be concerned about the financial impact of any requirements to reduce emissions from factories. Public transport operators are represented by an organization, which is thus far supportive of the city’s plans for implementation of bus transit improvements. 4.1.7 Visitors Tourists and business interests from outside of Palembang are affected by the city’s air quality. Their impressions of Palembang as a healthy, environmentally-friendly place will affect their spending and future investment in the city. 4.2 Involvement Process An appropriate process needs to be established for identifying stakeholders and incorporating their concerns and suggestions into the Palembang CAP. The process itself should be developed with key stakeholders, but the following guidelines are suggestions for initiating this process: 16 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 4.2.1 Stakeholder Scoping A broader set of stakeholders can be identified through a stakeholder scoping process. In this process, a series of meetings is conducted with individuals and organizations potentially interested in one or more aspects of the clean air issue in Palembang. At each meeting, the participants are briefed on the CAP process, asked about their concerns and interests, and asked for suggestions for other individuals or organizations who may be interested. This process continues until no new names or organizations are identified. 4.2.2 Public Input Workshops A series of workshops can be used to help bring in concerns, comments and suggestions from a broad spectrum of stakeholders in Palembang. The workshops will be open to the public, but specifically invite those stakeholders identified in the stakeholder scoping process. The initial workshop will establish a vision statement for clean air in Palembang. Subsequent workshops will be used to improve communication strategy, solicit additional input from stakeholders and the broader public on the potential measures identified for the CAP, and identify how they should be implemented. The central role of the workshops will be to increase public awareness of the need to improve air quality, and to develop political support from key stake holders. 4.2.3 Guidance Board Formation A Guidance Board can be utilized to guide the process of CAP formulation. A suggested composition and duties of the Guidance Board is described in the next section. The Board could be formulated as an outcome of the initial public input workshop to establish a vision for the Palembang’s clean air. The multi-sectoral group convened for the initial visioning workshop should be utilized to establish the scope for a comprehensive CAP. Representatives from key sectors would be chosen to be a member of the Guidance Board. The Board will then be responsible for reporting to, and receiving additional guidance from, the full multi-stakeholder group at subsequent workshops. This partnership between the Guidance Board and the full stakeholder group will need to be supported by clearly defined processes and transparency mechanisms. A successful partnership will facilitate the implementation of each step of the CAP. 4.2.4 Transparency Mechanisms In tandem with the above processes, mechanisms for transparency of the process would be established. If Palembang has sufficient internet-connected computers available to all stakeholder groups, a web-site may be the best mechanisms for keeping all stakeholders informed of the process. This web-site could be established as part of the Clean Air Initiative 17 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region for Asia web site, which already has existing mechanisms for public viewing and a substantial body of related documents of interest. If the internet is not judged to be sufficiently available to all stakeholders, an alternative or additional mechanism will need to be identified. This could be discussed at the first public involvement workshop, and may include a public area in a government office, school or library where all information relevant to the CAP’s development could be posted. Such an area would be a useful supplement even if a web-site were used. Appropriate press-releases, publicity campaigns, and public service advertising in the community could be used to inform the public of the web-site and/or CAP information area. These would form part of the overall communication strategy developed during the second workshop. All parties involved should seek to make their process as transparent as possible, by posting relevant information, notes, and notices for public view. The Guidance Board should set standards for minimum transparency of all processes. As an initial list, these standards may include: • List of attendees at public input workshops (with an option for attendees to choose anonymity) • A summary of the date, participants and key results of each meeting and workshop held during development of the CAP, including those of the Guidance Board, Public Input Workshops, and the Technical Team. • Technical reports on Palembang’s air quality and mechanisms to improve it. 4.3 Oversight Process Two primary bodies will be responsible for oversight of the process to develop a CAP for Palembang. The Technical Team and Guidance Board will review technical data, identify areas of concern as well as mechanisms for addressing them. 4.3.1 Technical Team A Technical Team allows for the processing of complex information to support the actions of the Guidance Board. The team would be a small working group of select government staff with the possible addition of consultants or university experts. The technical team would interact directly with counterparts on a GTZ team in the identification of data needs, evaluation of appropriate mechanisms, and formulation of recommendations for review by the Guidance Board. The GTZ Team counterparts would be responsible for identifying the information and analysis needs of the technical team and requesting the necessary expertise, resources and 18 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region training. The GTZ Team would be put in place with job descriptions, budget and with individual objectives reviewed and updated every 6-months. 4.3.2 Guidance Board The Guidance Board should be a manageable size of no more than 10-persons. In general, the board needs to include the key government agencies that will be responsible for implementing the plan. This can be complemented by key stakeholders from outside the government to improve the ability of the board to reflect the needs of all stakeholders. A possible composition for this board could be as follows: Mayor of Palembang (Chair) City Secretary of Palembang (Vice Chair) Second Assistant to Mayor Head of Palembang Planning Agency Head of Palembang Environment Agency Head of Palembang Transportation Agency Representative of Provincial Government Representative of NGOs Representative of Private Sector The Guidance Board would have the following responsibilities: • Review recommendations from the technical team, and identify areas where further information or additional solutions are needed; • Approve location, time and agenda for public involvement workshops; • Utilizing the results from the Public Input Workshops to include a broader range of viewpoints in the CAP; • Assure transparency mechanisms and the communications strategy are implemented and up-to-date; • Report, as individuals, to their stakeholder group and to the broader public on the progress of the CAP. 19 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 5.0 Framework for a Clean Air Plan The creation of a CAP for Palembang may follow these steps: Step 1: Development of the Road Map to a CAP [current step] Step 2: Establishing stakeholder involvement: How work together Step 3: Establishing a common vision: Where want to go Step 4: CAP development: How get there Step 5: Implementation: Keeping the promise 5.1 Proposed Contents of a CAP The proposed draft contents for a Clean Air Plan for Palembang is presented in Annex A. The purpose of the draft contents list is to illustrate the range of topics that can be considered and some of the broad inter-relationships. The final contents of the Palembang CAP will be determined through the stakeholder process to be developed as part of the process of implementing this roadmap. 5.2 Administrative Arrangements The procedure for establishing the CAP needs to be further investigated so as to have a firm legal basis and administrative framework for implementation. The development of the CAP can be supported by establishing a Technical Team and Guidance Board as described in Section 4. The Technical Team should be appointed by the Government so as to best provide reliable, actionable input to the Board. The first public input workshop on establishing a vision for clean air in Palembang can be utilized to establish the Guidance Board. 5.3 Issues to Address During the initial identification mission, the following key issues were identified. These issues may require further study or research, which can be supported by GTZ at the request of the city government. 20 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 5.3.1 Design for Involvement of Stakeholders and Public Participation Stakeholders interviewed, particularly those from NGOs and academia, indicated frustration with participating in government-led efforts where the process and follow-up were unclear. Problems experienced ranged from lack of follow-up to the protocol followed for workshop invitations resulting in a different participant being selected each time, leading to a lack of continuity. A key issue to resolve is how to develop a CAP in such a way that it has broad public and government support for implementation. Section 4 suggests some initial mechanisms to follow for improving stakeholder and public participation, but these mechanisms will require review and modification by the stakeholders themselves. 5.3.2 Vision and Goals Workshop A specific vision is needed to guide development of the CAP. The vision for a Clean Air Plan needs to reflect the vision for city development, which is all embracing. Since air quality is a regional issue, a common vision for all relevant communities in the air shed of Palembang needs to be developed. To implement this vision, specific goals need to be identified that will establish the role of the Clean Air Plan in contributing to the common vision. A Vision and Goals workshop or workshops would aim to: • Articulate the vision in simple terms and in a form on which all stakeholders can agree, including defining more tangible objectives towards which substantial progress can reasonably be expected. The objectives might cover such topics as (a) quality of life, (b) economic prosperity, and (c) equitable opportunity. • Measurable objectives contributing to each goal could also be defined, such as improved ambient air quality measurements, improved health indicators, improved effectiveness of the transport system for all members of society, or new investment in clean industry, as examples of measures for economic prosperity. The GTZ team would assist with the workshop, but the format and organization of the workshop is an important local task. The output of the workshop would enable further technical design of the Clean Air Plan by clearly outlining the scope, design of technical inputs, and selection of technical performance indicators for measuring intermediate outputs which contribute to the achievement of objectives. 5.3.3 Air Quality Monitoring Procedure Air quality monitoring is a tool to evaluate the health risk of the population in an area. To collect reliable data, it is necessary to measure where the people live. It is also necessary to operate the monitoring devices following a defined procedure in order to make it possible to compare data between different cities and areas, but also to be able to evaluate the impact of 21 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region abatement measures. Valid measurements of pollutants, either at emission sources or in the ambient air, provide the public and decision-makers with information to guide their actions. Only with a clear monitoring strategy can the goals be reached. As described in Section 2, only limited air quality monitoring has been undertaken in the past. The City of Palembang has recently received a state of the art mobile monitoring laboratory that is equipped to provide reliable measurements. A strategy for the use of the new mobile monitoring stations should be developed in line with international guidelines for air quality monitoring. Technical assistance is needed to verify the correct operation of all equipment, establish monitoring locations and a regular monitoring schedule, and verify reliable data recording procedures are in place. The locations for the mobile monitoring station should be selected carefully, so as to best estimate the pollution level in relation to the population. Ideally, the monitoring sites would include locations near highly polluted streets and other background locations to reflect the average conditions for the population and to serve as a basis for model calculations. An intensive training of the operation team is very important. Learning to correctly interpret the data will require additional technical guidance. 5.3.4 Preparing an Emissions Inventory An emission inventory plays a vital role for planning and policy, as this provides the basis for identification of priorities and control options in the CAP. Currently, there is no comprehensive inventory which lists all air pollutants from all sources in a geographical area during a stipulated period of time. An emission inventory should be separated into three main parts: • Mobile sources: emission from the transportation sector by type of vehicle, including off-road vehicles and ships; • Stationary sources: industry and power plants, as well as small businesses like hotel, restaurants, bakeries and workshops; • Areas sources: households, painting, open waste burning, etc. The emission inventory should include all relevant pollutants: black carbon, carbon monoxide, volatile hydrocarbons including benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, NOx, PM10, SOx, and dust re-suspension. Agricultural sources should be handled outside of this project because the emission reduction is not the responsibility of the Palembang City government. 5.3.5 CNG Conversion Program Palembang has initiated a program to convert all public transport vehicles, and the city's fleet vehicles, to allow them to use CNG fuel. This program is made possible by the Indonesian Department of Transportation, which has provided add-on conversion kits to the Palembang 22 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region Transportation Agency as part of a pilot project. These kits allow vehicles with carburetorequipped gasoline (benzene) engines to also run on CNG. The purpose of the program is to reduce exhaust emissions, while allowing use of CNG fuel resources available in Palembang. CNG has the advantage of containing virtually no sulfur, in sharp contrast to the high sulfur diesel fuel in Indonesia. CNG also has virtually no aromatic hydrocarbons. So, CNG is often called clean fuel. This leads to the belief that the use of CNG automatically leads to lower emissions of pollutants. Experience from different countries shows that by improper design, or incorrect retrofit, the emissions (especially NOx) after a retrofit can be much higher than these of the original gasoline vehicle. Therefore, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) adopted a regulation, R 115, in order to control the emissions of retrofitting vehicles with CNG or propane. Preliminary investigation by the team indicated that the conversion kits being installed are not of correct design for reducing emissions. Based on observation of the parts being installed, and a description of the installation process by the workshop doing the installation, the kits do not include the following essential components: 1) a monitoring device to calibrate the air:fuel ratio of the engine after the installation of the retrofit kit at the exhaust pipe to analyze hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas; and 2) a microprocessor controlled air:fuel ratio richness adjustment device with a lambda probe to receive data from the exhaust gas monitoring device and adjust the air:fuel ratio. Without these components, running on CNG fuel with the existing add-on conversions can result in increased fuel consumption usage and increased criteria emissions when the vehicle operates with CNG and also when the converted vehicle operates with gasoline. In addition, the use of CNG raises some safety concerns that are different than for gasoline or diesel engines. Therefore the ECE also adopted a regulation, ECE R110, which covers design criteria to minimize the safety risks. It is recommended to follow the ECE regulation. The team strongly recommends an immediate review of the CNG add-on converter kits, and corrective action to improve the kits. As this conversion process has already started and is ongoing, the sooner this review can occur, the sooner Palembang can avoid the possibility of wasted time and effort through this program. The review program will require further design, but will approximately consist of: • Evaluation of the design of the existing add-on kits considering safety, fuel consumption and emissions. • Testing of exhaust gas emissions from converted vehicles while using CNG fuel and while using normal gasoline (benzene). • Evaluate the equipment of the retrofit workshop. • Evaluate the training of the mechanics in the workshop which perform the retrofit. 23 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region Since the converter program is being implemented by the Indonesian Department of Transportation, this department should be fully informed of the evaluation in Palembang. The data can inform the Department's program in other Indonesian cities. 5.3.6 Bus Transit Improvements Palembang is in the process of implementing improvements to its public transportation based loosely on the model of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), which was implemented in Jakarta in 2004. The aspects of BRT implemented in Palembang vary considerably from the norm for BRT systems. Stations are located at curbside and are not built for high-passenger flows. No priority measures have been utilized to prevent buses from being stuck in congestion. The system has a strong institutional structure, however, and promises to substantially raise the quality of public transport service available in Palembang. The team did not find substantial analysis of expected passenger demand or a financial model for the business operation. Such documentation is likely to exist, but could not be found in the limited time available. In light of the importance of the TransMusi system to the future of public transport in Palembang, the following technical assistance is suggested: • Further review of data and research on demand, supplemented by actual ridership numbers (the system is expected to start operation shortly). • Evaluation of the financial model for TransMusi, and/or development of a new financial model with various ridership projection scenarios. Preparation of an accompanying report to explain the financial implications of TransMusi operation to the city budget. • Identification of complementary actions which the city could take to improve the service and financial performance of TransMusi, such as bus priority measures, improved pedestrian access to and around stations, integration with low-emission zones, etc. Preparation of an accompanying report to explain the financial and service implications of the complementary measures. 5.3.7 Building on Pedestrian and Bicycle Friendly Initiatives The City of Palembang has recently implemented bold moves to improve the city for pedestrian and bicycle travel, which have brought international attention. After restoring a large section of riverfront for pedestrian access, the city plans to extend pedestrian and bicycle use along a substantial section of the urban riverfront. Additional pedestrian improvements are planned along major streets. On 13 June 2009, the city initiated weekend morning car-free streets (known as ‘Car Free Day’ in Indonesia), in selected areas. The city would like to expand this program. There may be potential to utilize the car-free and pedestrian initiatives to implement lowemission zones in selected areas of Palembang. A low-emission zone is an area of the city 24 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region restricted to only those motor vehicles that meet stricter emission standards than otherwise enforced. Qualified vehicles would be identified by a sticker. The sticker would be given only if the vehicle meets stricter emission norms (e.g. Euro 2) and after the vehicle passed an emission test. Motor vehicles without a sticker would not be allowed in the area. The testing and sticker system would be implemented through standard operating procedures coupled with a management and training program with the agencies involved. (The process followed to develop the procedures could then serve as a basis for establishing an inspection and maintenance system throughout Palembang.) Different emission requirements could be established for motorcycles, cars, buses and trucks. Depending on the desires of the stakeholders involved, these requirements could be as strict, or more strict, that current government standards. The low-emission zone provides incentives for motor vehicle owners to upgrade to a lower emission vehicle, so as to allow them access to that zone. The low-emission zone might also be prioritized for developing an effective bike lane system that integrates with the bikeway planned for the Musi River waterfront. The development of a zone requires intensive input from the public, especially those whose residence or business is located in the zone. The discussion necessary to implement a lowemission zone helps to raise awareness of the air pollution problem, the role of motor vehicle emissions, and what can be done to reduce it. Technical assistance would be required to develop the technical and public involvement processes for implementing a low-emission zone(s) as part of the CAP. 5.3.8 Stationary Sources Control Under current regulations, industries are mandated to conduct self-monitoring to report their emissions to the Environmental Agency. This data has not yet been verified. The emissions inventory will identify the main stationary or point sources creating excessive pollution. Emission distribution modeling will be used to highlight where existing regulations on emission standards and their enforcement, for different type of point sources, need to be strengthened. The current status of major stationary sources, the options available to reduce emissions from those sources, and the implications for all stakeholders will be reviewed during the preparation of the CAP. 5.3.9 Integrating with Related Programs During the mission, some potentially related programs were identified which could affect, and in some cases synergize with, efforts to implement a CAP for Palembang. A preliminary list of these programs, and potential programs, includes: JICA – Assistance to the provincial government regarding road transport infrastructure and river transport. Study on mobile source emissions in Palembang. 25 Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region CDIA (Clean Development Initiative for Asia) – Enhancing public transport and nonmotorized transport components of Palembang’s Green Transportation Program. Includes feasibility studies for mid-term infrastructure investments, plus a marketing plan and capacity development. 8 Details may include a study of mass transport; ‘Palembang city walking’ including accessibility study for walking on central part of bus transit corridor; and bus transit ticketing management. GTZ SUTIP (via Indonesian Department of Transportation) – TransMusi technical assistance, such as operational plan. INDII (Indonesia Infrastructure Initiative - AusAid) – physical infrastructure related to TransMusi (bus stop, pedestrian sidewalk), and potential for connection of TransMusi to river transport. Seoul City government – City-to-City Memorandum of Understanding for providing transportation expertise Citynet – training on transportation management Indonesian National Planning Department (Bappenas) – Public-Private Partnerships for multimodal terminals. World Bank – interest in developing sustainable transport projects in smaller Indonesian cities This list of potential projects needs to be validated and the potential for cooperation and coordination discussed with parties that intend to go forward. 8 CDIA Newsletter.
