This study explores the ways in which urban kampung communities deal with the sudden upsurge of large-scale to neighborhood-scale urban investments by the different government levels in Indonesia. This study examines the shift in livelihoods and utilization of space in urban kampungs in navigating these changes. The paper presents two urban kampungs from Pontianak, a medium-sized city in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The study finds a change in livelihood strategies and in the utilization of space after developments in infrastructure specifically targeted at the urban kampung. First, there is a significant shift in the informal economy toward tourism-based livelihoods. Second, the kampungs are spatially more connected and integrated. In addition, spaces in the kampungs have been developed for visitors and local residents to congregate. Third, the effects of urban investments on livelihoods and space utilization differ between the two kampungs because of illicit business in one of the kampungs. Finally, the research contributes to understanding how government-led spatial interventions influence informal activities and urban spaces, but urban informality can lead to unexpected consequences of government interventions due to location-specific attributes.

这项研究探讨了印尼政府不同级别的城市甘榜社区应对大规模的大规模投资到邻里规模的城市投资的方式。本研究考察了这些地方的生计变化和城市甘榜空间的利用。本文介绍了来自印尼西部加里曼丹省中型城市坤甸的两个城市甘榜。该研究发现，在专门针对城市甘榜的基础设施发展之后，民生策略和空间利用发生了变化。首先，非正规经济向以旅游为基础的生计发生了重大转变。其次，甘榜在空间上更加紧密地联系和整合。此外，甘榜中的空间已经开发出来，供游客和当地居民聚集。第三，在这两个甘榜中，城市投资对生计和空间利用的影响是不同的，因为其中一个甘榜的经营不合法。最后，该研究有助于理解政府主导的空间干预如何影响非正式活动和城市空间，但是由于位置特定的属性，城市非正式性可能导致政府干预的意外后果。
