Abstract

This paper examines children’s context in Southeast Asian coastal cities. Through a document analysis, this paper examines City Context Reports from five Southeast Asian coastal cities (Surabaya, Iskandar, Melaka, Cebu and Ho Chi Minh) and identifies opportunities and challenges to urban child friendliness. The results indicate a mixture of achievements and challenges in terms of child‐friendly coastal cities. The identified challenges and potentials in Southeast Asian cities shape an urban fabric characterized by the urban sprawl combined with the geographic vulnerabilities of coastal cities. While the challenges of urbanization in Southeast Asian coastal cities are massive, so are the opportunities. As a way forward, this work proposes a framework for child‐friendly coastal cities in Southeast Asia, with emphasis on: (1) child‐oriented urban policy design, (2) urban policy assessment through participatory research with children, and (3) educational programs for coastal resilience. This work hopes for further dialogues toward an inclusive urban future in the Global South. Este artículo examina el contexto de los niños en las ciudades costeras del sudeste asiático. Mediante un análisis documental, este artículo examina los Informes de Contexto de Ciudades de cinco ciudades costeras del sudeste asiático (Surabaya, Iskandar, Melaka, Cebú y Ho Chi Minh) e identifica las oportunidades y los retos para una ciudad amigable para los niños. Los resultados indican una mezcla de logros y desafíos en cuanto a las ciudades costeras amigables para la infancia. Los retos y potenciales identificados en las ciudades del sudeste asiático dan forma a un tejido urbano caracterizado por la expansión urbana combinada con las vulnerabilidades geográficas de las ciudades costeras. Aunque los retos de la urbanización en las ciudades costeras del sudeste asiático son enormes, también lo son las oportunidades. A modo de avance, este trabajo propone un marco para las ciudades costeras amigables para la infancia en el sudeste asiático, con énfasis en: (1) diseño de políticas urbanas orientadas a los niños, (2) evaluación de políticas urbanas mediante la investigación participativa con niños, y (3) programas educativos para la resiliencia costera. Este trabajo espera que haya más diálogos en favor de un futuro urbano inclusivo en el Sur Global. 本稿は、東南アジアの沿岸都市における子供の状況を検討する。本稿では、記録の分析から、東南アジアの5つの沿岸都市(スラバヤ、イスカンダル、マラッカ、セブ、ホーチミン)からのCity Context Report(都市状況報告書)を調査し、子供に対する都市の支援の機会と課題を特定する。調査結果から、子供に好意的な沿岸都市としての成果と課題が混在していることが指摘される。特定された東南アジアの都市の課題と可能性から、沿岸都市の地理的脆弱性が組み合わさった都市スプロールを特徴とする都市構造が浮かび上がる。東南アジアの沿岸都市における都市化の課題は山積みであるが、良好な条件も豊富である。本稿では、将来の解決法として、1)子供指向の都市政策の作成、2)子供参加型の研究による都市政策の評価、3)沿岸部のレジリエンスのための教育プログラムに重点を置いて、東南アジアの子供に好意的な沿岸都市のための枠組みを提案する。本研究は、グローバル・サウスにおける都市のインクルーシブな未来に向けたさらなる対話を期待するものである。
