Kampung Sayur Bausasran (Vegetable Village)
Yogyakarta, Indonesia · Operator: Kelurahan Bausasran / PKK & kelompok tani warga
Overview
In the dense Bausasran neighbourhood ~500 m from Yogyakarta's Malioboro centre, urban farming grew out of the 2005 Proklim (climate village) programme. Using tiny plots and alleyways, residents grow diverse vegetables (cauliflower, lettuce, chili, eggplant, etc.) organically.
Citizen participation
Led by PKK women's groups and several farmer groups, residents grow vegetables in home yards and along narrow alleyways (gang), turning the lanes into green vegetable corridors.
Operating model
Resident-run community initiative; produce is consumed and sold, and in recent years the site welcomes visitors as agritourism, contributing to the local economy.
Impact
Created green space in a cramped urban area and taught residents kitchen-scrap composting and pesticide-free pest control. Since 2019 it has drawn domestic and foreign visitors, boosting the local economy through agritourism.
Land tenure
Uses residents' own yards and public alley space under community agreement.
Crops
- vegetables
Scale
Dense kampung ~500 m from Malioboro; 16 'vegetable alleys' and 6 farmer groups
