Manufacture, innovation, and infrastructure. And in order to realize the achievement of all the elements SDG's
that meet the criteria are then made efforts to achieve through smart environment towards sustainable cities
and settlements with attention to aspects of Smart Environment, namely management of holistic resources
and sustainable urban planning.
1 INTRODUCTION
Sustainable development is a way to understand the
world as a complex interaction of a system of
economic, social, environmental, and political.
Normative or ethical view of the world, how to
determine the purpose of a well-functioning society,
to provide welfare for its citizens today and in future
generations. The three pillars of the indicators in the
development concept of Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), i.e., the first indicator of inherent
human development (Human Development),
including education, health. The second indicator
attached to his environment (Social Economic
Development), such as the availability of facilities
and environmental infrastructure, as well as economic
growth. Meanwhile, the third indicator is attached to
a larger environment (Environmental Development),
a

such as the availability of natural resources and
environmental quality are good (Ramadhani, 2018).
Ongoing settlement construction, especially in urban
areas is one of the efforts to achieve sustainable
development continue to be developed. It becomes
very important given the high rate of urbanization that
affects more dense urban areas in Indonesia and even
the world. Even based on estimates of more than 70%
of the population living in the city world 2050
(Suhono, 2016). Surabaya is the capital of East Java
province which is growing rapidly and the potential
of urban life. Surabaya City gradually promotes the
social, economic, environmental and cultural as
efforts to achieve the vision of a city that is
prosperous character and ecology-based global
competitiveness by supporting the achievement of
smart urban development (Smart City) through smart
environments (Smart Environment). Surabaya itself
has done Surabaya Green and Clean program that

supports the development of settlements in a
sustainable manner. Implementation of Surabaya
Green and Clean program has several stages and in
accordance with Standard Operating Procedures
(SOP) in order to reduce the level of errors and
omissions of the actors in the implementation of SGC
and for the sake of improving the efficiency and
effectiveness of the duties and responsibilities of the
individual and the organization as a whole
(Kumalasari et al., 2005). In order to achieve the goal
of SDG's, that is making cities and settlements
inclusive, secure, resilient, and sustainable. focused
on addressing the challenges of urban in creating
opportunity and prosperity without spending their
land and resources, the necessary attention and
sustained effort and integrated by all parties so as to
achieve the goal, namely to make efforts ratings based
on indicators of SDG's so it can do a holistic approach
to address the multi-faceted sustainability issues that
could affect the development of settlements in a
sustainable manner, even within the framework of
development policies in the context of State (Udin,
2018). Problems faced by the present increasingly
complex, particularly environmental and
development issues. The construction itself is an
effort to cultivate and utilize natural resources to
improve people's welfare. So the use of natural
resources must be harmonious and balanced with
environmental functions.
Development in Indonesia cannot be said to apply
100 percent of sustainable development. There are
still many public policies which there is no thought of
the concept of sustainable development. Urban
settlements would be a problem not resolved
completely if not given attention and optimal
treatment to all its potential and problems. In the area
of informal settlements in the region Tegal Mulyorejo
Baru facing the river crossing has a function as a
residential and boarding students as well as
residential and business into one of the regions that
have a portrait dimensions of housing is to be studied
in this aspect of the achievement of the development
of sustainable settlement and SDG's as well as
creating an environment smart (Smart environment)
both on the housing and the surrounding
environment. Therefore, efforts in the area
assessment based on aspects of sustainable settlement
construction, SDG's and its efforts to achieve the
vision and mission of the city of Surabaya with the
concept of the intelligent city (Smart City) that has an
intelligent environment (Smart Environment).
1.1 Issues
The problem in this research is still not optimal
achievement of sustainable development based on the
criteria of SDG's so it becomes very necessary to the
assessment of the urban settlement area for
determining compliance aspects of settlement
construction continuing toward SDG's and determine
the direction of development towards Surabaya as an
intelligent city (Smart City) with an intelligent
environment (Smart environment). Selected case
studies in the area of informal settlements along the
way Tegal Mulyorejo
1.2 Aim
The purpose of this study was to determine the
achievement of sustainable settlement development
based on aspects of sustainable residential
development within SDG's dimensions and determine
the direction of development in accordance with the
environment in the area of intelligent (smart
environment).
2 RESEARCH THEORY AND
METHOD
2.1 Sustainable Settlement
Development
Sustainable development as a human effort to
improve the quality of life while maintaining the
ecosystem supporting sustainable life after life.
Sustainable development is considered as a complex
concept, for implementation are interrelated and
many things that need to be considered. One cause of
the implementation of sustainable development in
Indonesia is not optimal is the lack of our
understanding of sustainable development itself. Poor
understanding of not only occur on the nation's
political elite but also academics. Another problem is
the lack of political commitment and goodwill of
stakeholders (stakeholders)to be able to implement
sustainable development (Abdoellah, 2016).
Sustainable housing is not only to meet the current
generation but also future generations, and not just
satisfy basic needs but also the quality of the
environment (Chiu, 1999). A holistic approach is
used to determine the context of sustainability in the
construction of a residential neighbourhood (Thorns,
2004).

2.2 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDG’s)
As part of the post-2015 development agenda, the UN
has facilitated the development of Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG's) (United Nations, 2015).
Unlike their predecessors, the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), this goal is more to
discuss than just poverty but focus on the overall
human and ecosystem well-being. Achieving this
requires addressing three dimensions of sustainable
development (social, economic, and environmental)
in an integrated and synergistic manner (Costanza,
2016), SDGs addressed and signed by all countries,
both developed and developing. With 17 goals, 169
targets, and more than 300 indicators SDGs be good
and proper instruction for use. 17 SDG's objectives
include: 1)Without Poverty; 2) Without Hunger; 3)
Healthy and Prosperous Life; 4) Quality Education;
5) Gender Equality; 6) Water and Improved
Sanitation; 7) Clean and Affordable Energy; 8)
Decent Work and Economic Growth; 9)
Infrastructure, Industry, and Innovation; 10) Reduced
gap; 11)Sustainable cities and settlements; 12)
Consumption and Production Responsible; 13)
Address Climate Change; 14) Marine Ecosystems;
15) Ecosystem Mainland; 16) Peace, Justice, and
Institutional Tough; and 17) A Partnership to Achieve
Objectives.
Efforts to achieve sustainability must be
understood, understood, and known to be true (Blair
et al., 2003). The perspective of sustainability based
on the achievement of a technology-based approach
(technocenter) is more sluggish (weak) when paired
with the environmental balance approach (ecology /
ecocenter) is strong (strong) (Winston, 2007).
Therefore we need a good understanding of the
important characters (Edwards, B, and Turrent,
2004), ideal conditions (Winston, 2012), and the
resulting impact (Islam, 1996) on sustainable
residential construction activity. Factors inhibiting
the attainment of sustainability (Bergman et al., 2007)
can be seen on the transition process change
achievement of sustainability (Turcotte and Geiser,
2010), and it can be done with the achievement of the
votes to build a framework for the assessment of
sustainable housing that is based on the principles of
sustainability context major (Zubaidi, 2007). Value
achievement of sustainability rating system called
'rating system' to demonstrate the value of
sustainability in the achievement of sustainable
housing dimensions (Allwinkle and Cruickshank,
2011). The potential that exists behind the process of
sustainable development can be explored and
developed through innovation and achievement rate
assessment system modifications(Cohen, 2012).
'Rating system' to demonstrate the value of
sustainability in the achievement of sustainable
housing dimensions (Boamah S, 2003; Abu Hasan,
Abu Bakr, et al, 2011). The potential that exists
behind the process of sustainable development can be
explored and developed through innovation and
achievement rate assessment system modifications
(Cohen, 2012). 'Rating system' to demonstrate the
value of sustainability in the achievement of
sustainable housing dimensions (Allwinkle and
Cruickshank, 2011). The potential that exists behind
the process of sustainable development can be
explored and developed through innovation and
achievement rate assessment system modifications.
(Cohen, 2012) The concept of Smart City and Smart
Environment The concept of an intelligent city, better
known by the name of a very popular smart city
developed as a concept of arrangement cities in the
world in recent years along with the rapid
development of technology. This concept was
initially grown since the 1990s which began
worldwide internet connection since its introduction
in the 1960s. According to [20], development of the
Internet in that period was the one who made the
service even easier with the information that can be
accessed via the website provided by the city
government. Although still limited in the form of
services in one direction with only the information
that is static and limited on urban policy, land use and
planning, but no denying that this is the beginning of
the emergence of the concept of a smart city. In
addition, [21] divides the smart city into six
dimensions, namely: (1) Smart economy, (2) Smart
mobility, (3) Smart environment, (4) Smart people,
(5) Smart living, and (6) Smart governance.
The concept of Smart Environment according to
[21] includes several aspects that support the related
(1) Management of resources, comprised of energy,
carbon footprint, air quality, waste generation and
water consumption as well as (2) planning sustainable
cities, which consists of planning resistance climate,
density and solid waste generation.
2.3 Research Methods
The method used in this research is descriptive
qualitative with collecting primary data and
secondary data. The primary data obtained by
observation and interviews with respondents in the
case studies. While the secondary data obtained by
searching the relevant literature SDG's, ongoing
settlement construction and smart environment.

3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION
3.1
Sustainable Settlement Development
Mulyorejo Tegal district has a function as a
residential area, which is dominated by informal
settlements as residential, residential and boarding
houses for students and residential and business. The
settlement is located along the road facing the river
environment in residential areas. Mulyorejo Tegal as
a whole can be seen in Figure 1 map image as follows:
Figure 1. Map images Tegal New Mulyorejo Source: Map
Citra, 2018
Life Settlements are performed by residents in the
economic, cultural or social activities of citizens, and
the environment can be seen in Table 1 below:
Table 1, The living conditions of the settlement based on
the activities of people
Based on the aspects of sustainable development, the
existing condition of life settlements in Tegal
Mulyorejo region can be divided based on the
following aspects: Natural Environment, Building
Environment, and Social, Economic and Cultural
Environment.
1. Natural Environment
Existing environmental conditions in the vicinity
of settlements, which is indicated by the presence
of vegetation along the river opposite the
residential areas and afforestation and drainage
that crosses the road environment Mulyorejo
Tegal region. It can be shown in Figure 2 below:
Figure 2, The road condition Tegal neighbourhood of New
Mulyorejo Sources: Observations, 2018
From the condition that there can also be seen that the
cleanliness of the environment is well preserved in
the region. Only the condition of river water that
looks cloudy and dirty because of sedimentation or
deposition of garbage that will require attention and
optimal handling. It can be shown in Figure 3 below:
Figure 3. River conditions in neighborhoods Tegal New
Mulyorejo Sources: Observations, 2018
2. Building Environment
Residential environment and settlements in the
area of Tegal Mulyorejo consist of a habitable
house with tropical architecture form a floor and
two floors. Conditions viable building permanent
structures, utilities complete and adaptive forms
of the tropical climate were quite good
aesthetically. The residential building conditions
can be seen in Figure 4 below:

linear follow and overlooking the river in front of him
and partly awakened regularly in clusters on the side
of it. Residential environmental conditions can be
seen in Figure 5 below:

Mulyorejo Sources: Observations, 2018
3. Socio-Economic, Cultural Environment
The lives of people in the New Mulyorejo Tegal
region economically supported by its ability to
entrepreneurship. Residents take advantage of
their home's occupancy or support their
economic life by making the function of
occupancy as a place of business and even a
boarding house for students. So that the welfare
of livelihoods in the region is quite good.
Economic conditions with a fairly good level of
welfare can be seen in Figure 6 below:

New Mulyorejo Sources: Observations, 2018
A very dynamic life was also demonstrated by the
activity or activities consisting of community
residents and students from the morning until the
afternoon that utilizes several locations in the region,
particularly in the use of public space according to
their needs. The public rooms are citizens or residents
and students who were in that area to use the area as
space along the river banks, both for the activity of
talking, enjoying the view of the river or even eat
together. For more details, several sociocultural
activities of citizens in the settlement environment is
shown in Figure 7 below:

Outcomes Analysis Based on Kriteria
SDG’s Sustainable Development
The analysis is done based on aspects of sustainable
development with regard to the outcome observed in
the settlement area Tegal Mulyorejo, SDG's criteria
as an indicator that determines whether or not all
parameters reached SDG's it. For more analysis of the
achievement of sustainable development in the
residential area of Tegal Mulyorejo based on criteria
SDG's can be seen in table 2 below:
