NEIGHBORHOOD
Shaping More Sustainable Neighborhoods
GREENSHIP Neighborhood is a green area rating tool developed by Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) to assess the sustainability of residential areas, central business districts, and industrial estates.
Going beyond individual buildings, GREENSHIP Neighborhood evaluates how land, infrastructure, buildings, natural systems, and communities interact within an area. It provides a structured framework for integrating sustainability into area planning, development, and management.
Whether a project is still in the planning stage or has already been developed, GREENSHIP Neighborhood supports a more comprehensive approach to creating places that are environmentally responsible and contribute to people's quality of life.
Benefits of GREENSHIP Neighborhood
GREENSHIP Neighborhood provides a framework for assessing interconnected aspects of area development. By evaluating sustainability across the wider built environment, it helps project owners and development teams integrate environmental considerations into planning, implementation, and long-term area management.
- Incorporate sustainability considerations into land use, infrastructure, and development strategies from the planning stage, supporting more informed decisions about the area's future.
- Evaluate how people access and move within an area, including considerations for connectivity, accessibility, and more sustainable mobility.
- Assess approaches to water management, conservation, and the responsible use of resources across the development area.
- Consider how materials and solid waste are managed throughout area development and operation, supporting more responsible resource practices.
- Evaluate strategies that contribute to community wellbeing, including the quality of the area and the facilities and environments that support its users.
- Consider the relationship between buildings, energy use, and the wider sustainability objectives of the neighborhood.
- Encourage innovative approaches and forward-looking strategies that support the area's continued development and sustainability.
Choose the Right Certification Pathway for Your Project
GREENSHIP Neighborhood offers two certification pathways based on the development stage of an area: PLAN and BUILT PROJECT.
Each pathway provides an assessment approach suited to the project's stage of development.
-
PLAN
For Areas in the Planning and Design Stage
GREENSHIP Neighborhood PLAN is intended for projects that are still in the planning stage. It provides an opportunity for project teams to assess their area development plans against GREENSHIP Neighborhood criteria and receive recognition based on the planned design and development strategies.
This pathway allows sustainability considerations to be evaluated before the area is fully developed, helping project teams integrate relevant measures into their plans from an early stage.
-
BUILT PROJECT
For Developed and Operational Areas
GREENSHIP Neighborhood BUILT PROJECT is intended for areas that have been constructed and/or are already in operation.
This pathway assesses the area more comprehensively, considering its planning and design, implementation, construction, and operational performance. It provides a framework for evaluating how sustainability strategies have been realized and how the area performs as a developed environment.

The registration form collects general project information, including the project area, development details, project owner, appointed GREENSHIP Professional (GP), and Certification Partner. This information provides the basis for the initial review and coordination of the certification process.
Step 2: Eligibility
The project must fulfill the applicable eligibility requirements and submit the required supporting information and documentation.
The eligibility evaluation covers general project requirements, including relevant permits and compliance with applicable building regulations, safety standards, and accessibility requirements.
Step 3: Consultation
The project's certification or sustainability team has the opportunity to consult with GBCI and relevant experts regarding the GREENSHIP Neighborhood assessment criteria.
These consultations provide a forum to discuss the rating tool, clarify technical requirements, examine potential assessment approaches, and address questions related to the project's sustainability strategies.
Step 4: Certification Workshop
The project certification team presents its claimed assessment criteria and supporting strategies during a certification workshop involving relevant stakeholders.
The workshop provides an opportunity to discuss and challenge the project's assessment claims, review the proposed supporting evidence, and identify any areas that require clarification or improvement before formal submission and verification.
Step 5: Verification
The project team submits the required supporting evidence, including relevant data, technical documents, and performance analyses, to the designated verifier.
The verifier reviews and evaluates the submitted evidence against the applicable GREENSHIP Neighborhood criteria. The verification process also includes an on-site survey to examine the project's conditions and validate the information provided.
Step 6: Evaluation Assessment Board (EAB)
The Evaluation Assessment Board (EAB), comprising relevant experts, reviews the project's claimed assessment criteria, submitted evidence, and findings identified during verification.
The project may be required to refine or revise its submissions based on the Board's review before the final assessment outcome is determined.
