One of the key considerations for the planning and implementation of eco-industrial parks is the management of the energy demands of the park using renewable sources. Not only do renewable […]

Industrial parks have long been recognized as an efficient means of unifying industrial activities with business, infrastructure and service objectives. Industrial parks share many commonalities, in that they are planned and developed with the objective of fostering economic growth and of improving location’s competitiveness through potential collaborative and efficiency gains. In the context of mounting pressure to address climate change and foster international development, it is becoming increasingly clear that industrial parks need to move beyond their traditional resource intensive business models to integrate environmental and social dimensions to remain a frontrunner in the economic activities.

In order to realize the goal of an eco-industrial park, industrial areas must understand and implement capacity building in accordance with the correct rules and guidelines. Apart from improving the quality and innovation of technology development in each industry, industrial estates also need to regulate so that the environment in the area can be monitored and in line with this goal. Therefore, the government has set up guidelines and information for monitoring so that it is easier for industry and industrial estates to carry out their business activities. So, it is necessary to deliver material to industrial areas and tenants to understand the latest regulations as a guideline by the government to support the realization of an eco-industrial park.
Within the framework of the Global Eco-Industrial Parks Programme (GEIPP) in Developing and Transition Countries currently implemented by UNIDO and funded by the Government of Switzerland through its State Secretariat of Economic Affairs, this Project–the GEIPP Indonesia Country Level Intervention–will address the development of eco-industrial parks in Indonesia.

Latar Belakang United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) adalah badan khusus Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa yang mempromosikan pembangunan industri untuk pendidikan kemiskinan, globalisasi inklusif, dan kelestarian lingkungan. Kerja sama antara Pemerintah Indonesia dan UNIDO telah terjalin sejak tahun 1970, khususnya dalam hal bantuan teknis melalui Country Program Indonesia-UNIDO. UNIDO telah menyelaraskan kerangka kerja tersebut sejalan dengan prioritas Republik Indonesia yang diidentifikasikan ke dalam Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Panjang Indonesia 2005-2025 (RPJM). Dalam kerangka acuan Program Global Kawasan Industri yang Berwawasan Lingkungan (GEIPP) di negara-negara berkembang dan negara-negara transisi yang saat ini dilaksanakan oleh UNIDO dan didanai oleh Pemerintah Swiss melalui Sekretariat Negara Urusan Ekonomi (SECO), proyek ini merupakan Intervensi Tingkat Negara GEIPP Indonesia – akan membahas pengembangan kawasan industri yang berwawasan lingkungan di Indonesia. Pelaksanaan projek ini juga berdasarkan pembelajaran dari program global Efisiensi Sumber Daya dan Produksi Bersih (RECP) dan bersinergi dengan program UNIDO NRECP yang saat ini dilaksanakan di Indonesia.

Eco industrial park program organized by Unido aims to change industrial areas in Indonesia into environmentally friendly industrial areas. There are many efforts to realize the eco industrial park program, one of which is social indicators. Social indicators are statistical time series that are "used to monitor the social system, helping to identify changes and to guide intervention to alter the course of social change". Through the implementation of social indicators for industrial estates, the social objectives can be more clearly defined of which can construct, the process of data collection to measure and monitor social results and assess and report progress. Reporting includes both internal reports that assess and improve decision making and external reports that demonstrate whether social objectives are being achieved.

Within the framework of the Global Eco-Industrial Parks Programme (GEIPP) in Developing and Transition Countries currently implemented by UNIDO and funded by the Government of Switzerland through its State Secretariat of Economic Affairs, this Project–the GEIPP Indonesia Country Level Intervention–will address the development of eco-industrial parks in Indonesia. Through the cooperation with Ministry of Industry, GEIPP programme will support the implementation of capacity building series for industrial parks and tenant SMEs to meet international standards and requirements, that includes social indicator to meet all of the eco industrial park minimum requirements. The social benefits deriving from EIP activities can catalyze the creation of quality local jobs through better working conditions.
