Behavior Approach to the Design of Low-Income Community Flats in Cilangkap

Abstract

The need for decent housing in Jakarta, especially for Low-Income people will be very urgent because of the increasing population living in the city of Jakarta. The growing population does not allow to accommodate it with a system of landed houses. Therefore, it is necessary to provide vertical housing that can accommodate housing needs for residents who need a place to live. So that the DKI Jakarta Government is trying to build a Simple Owned Flat in the Cilangkap area, East Jakarta. In contrast to landed houses, vertical housing problems such as flats are quite complex, including a group of people from various backgrounds gathered in one vertical concept residential building, land use problems that are not only used for the benefit of flats, but also used as a recreational arena for local communities, transit points for Transjakarta buses, and rainwater reservoirs from local settlements because the land is lower than the surrounding environment. The urgent thing in the design of this flat is the accommodation of various backgrounds of residents, therefore the design of this flat uses a behavioral approach. Thus, this design is expected to be more targeted to people in need.
