Slum areas are heavily populated urban informal settlements characterized by substandard housing and illegal land usage (squatting). Surakarta is one of many Indonesian cities that are still entangled by this problem. One of the slum concentrations in Surakarta is the slum settlement (kampong) alongside Kali Pepe riverbank. Within these slum settlements, people survive in substandard housing by effectively using the limited space. This research aims to discover the typologies of the alternative use of space. This research takes a case study approach in a few kampongs alongside Kali Pepe riverbank, based on the types and sizes of small houses within this area, considering the number of occupants and the space required. The data for this research is categorized as primary data which was collected through a series of site observations and focus group discussions. The data will be analysed, compared, and classified to find out the typology of the alternative solutions of space requirements. This research uses mixed-method analysis to define how Kali Pepe"s slum residents alternatively use the spaces within their kampongs. Based on the typologies found through multiple analyses, this research concludes that the use of space in substandard housing cannot be bound by limited spaces. Furthermore, the main strategy to solve the problem of limited space is by using alternative spaces.
Interaction Spaces in the Segregation of Settlement Infrastructure in Kampung Kulitan Semarang
Kampung (traditional village in Java) Kulitan is a unique village in the Jagalan Village, Central Semarang, Indonesia. This village is the residence of the Tasripin family and their descendants who previously had a factory that produced animal skins exported to Europe. In the past, Tasripin controlled the land in the Kampung Kulitan area and its surroundings. An indigenous aristocrat named Tasripin has paid attention to aspects of the traditional Javanese structure to separate the social strata of the workers in the form of their houses. These houses are a testament to the historical triumph of the Tasripin dynasty, which comprised of the most successful indigenous businessmen of his time. In Kampung Kulitan, there is a segregation or separation between the occupancy of the Tasripin family and the shelter of the Boro people, but the unique thing is that this segregation can create harmony among the neighbors. This study aims to determine the segregation in the Kulitan village and the form of harmonious spaces in the Kulitan Village. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection was carried out by observations in the field. Interviews with the owners of the houses or others who know the development of the Kampung Kulitan residential area were also carried out. The data were analyzed using the theories related to settlement segregation. The findings indicate that there has been a harmonious life through social and economic spaces. One of the binders of harmony is the At-Taqwa mosque as a shared religious space. The uniqueness of the social strata that appears in the structure of the building and the architectural form of the building provides a unique way of life for the social class of coastal communities that needs to be preserved by the government.

The biggest problem in housing in Indonesia is how to deal with the housing problems of low-income communities. Houses normally inhabited by such communities are often in unhealthy environments, as are houses built only with cheap materials or waste materials. One example of the lower layers of the community is the drillers who settled in the Kawatuna TPA of Palu City. The drillers built houses using local materials such as wood, ruby or zinc roofs, and tripleks. The condition of the houses built by the rollers is very worrying, especially the lack of ventilation, which causes the air exchange to not take place properly. And a lot of garbage gathered in front of the house could lead to disease. This research will conduct a study that can find solutions to the problems faced by rollers in the Kawatuna TPA area, one of which is through the use of garbage waste as a substitute material manufactured for the construction of rolling houses. In addition to that, a redesign of the shape of the houses will be done to get a proper shape from the health side. The data analysis used is a qualitative descriptive analysis. Qualitative data obtained through data collection techniques using observation results in the Kawatuna TPA. The results of this study are simple, healthy home designs that utilize waste materials. The design of rolling houses is divided according to their activities: large type, or type A, for fixed rollers, and small type, or type B, for non-stable rollers.

This paper examines the changes which have occurred in the low-income settlements in Mombasa, Kenya's second largest city, in connection with the production and retail of building materials. The analysis is conducted via the articulation of modes of housing production concept. Prior to the implementation of settlement upgrading in Mombasa. funded by the World Bank and the United States Agency for International Development, there existed a distinct mode of low-income housing production and consumption in the town. The typical low-income housing in Mombasa is the Swahili house which had its own market both for the supply of traditional building materials as well as tenancy arrangements. With the commencement of the provision of low-income housing based on international aid agencies' planning orthodoxy, the Swahili housing scene has undergone a tremendous transformation. The proscription of the use of traditional (indigenous) materials in housing construction has resulted in raising the cost of housing beyond the majority of the urban poor. In addition, it has adversely affected small-scale retail outlets which specialized in the supply of these materials. This process has gone hand in hand with the prescription that only industrially manufactured materials are to be used in low-income settlements. The popularization of the use of industrially manufactured materials has also resulted in the emergence of middlemen in the supply of these materials to the low-income settlements. This development too has meant that the cost of building materials has to rise, in some cases by over five times, from the production points to the construction sites. The fundis (traditional artisans) have also found themselves in a precarious situation because they have either to get extra training in handling the 'new' materials and 'modern' housing plans or be marginalized to mere repair worlls. The paper concludes that the articulation between the traditional and the modern modes of housing production in Mombasa has been to the benefit of the latter. It is. however, pointed out that the process of commercialization

Socio-cultural studies to open space in fisherman settlement in Prigi, Trenggalek, East Java
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2018
Abstract. Fishermen are mostly classified into low income or low socioeconomic. The poverty of the fisherman community is sourced from the weakness of human potential and the lack of environmental support in empowering the natural and available potential resources. Moreover, the specific cultural characteristics of fishing community, it does not always support the potential development of its citizens, instead they may hamper the progress of society itself. In fact fishermen are less concerned about their environmentas indicated by most of them live in slum settlement environment. Therefore, the arrangement of fishermen's settlement, especially the existence of open space area, is required. The objective of the research is to identify and analyze the cultural characteristics of the community in the fishing village, as the basis for the open space settlement. With open space compliance, this can improve the quality of the environment and the living standards of fishermen families on the coast. The research method used is a combination of qualitative and quantitative research with phenomenology approach, research area in coastal South Coast of East Java, and it involved fishermen of Prigi beach in Trenggalek. The research was conducted by identifying and studying the cultural aspects of the fisherman community in the coastal areas. It is expected that the results of this study can provide a discourse on government policy on the implementation of open space procurement, taking into account the culture of fishing communities, so as to produce the concept of open spatial arrangement that can significantly spur the economic and social growth of fishing communities on the coast.

Housing embodies many concepts such as comfort, security, identity and most importantly, housing is of central importance to the quality of life and health of everyone, with considerable economic, social, cultural and personal significance. However, housing in Ngepanrejo Village is different, where the main housing problem at the moment is the lack of affordable accommodation for the majority of the village community, who have low incomes. Therefore, most of the housing conditions fall into the criteria for uninhabitable houses. The community in Ngepanrejo Village is struggling to uphold good quality housing in various ways, one of which is by submitting a proposal for Uninhabitable Housing. qualitative research using data collection methods in the form of secondary data. The results of this study indicate that the proposal for uninhabitable houses do make a great impact to the standard of living of the Ngepanrejo community. Through each proposals submitted every year, there are about 10 houses renovated. If this trend continues, the objective proposed by the provincial government will be achieved at a fast rate. However, most proposals are found to be mismatch to the SIMPERUM and SIKDES which is caused by human errors. This have led the village government to create a lot letter of statements just to validate that the information is correct.

This paper investigates space use and environmental effects of Home Based Enterprises. The paper shows that the residential houses can provide both home and workplace to generate income. This lifestyle is practiced by the majority of people living in both formal and informal settlements in urban Tanzania. Double-functioning of residential premises as both home and workplace has now become the form of life for the majority in the informal settlements of urban Tanzania, where municipal officials rarely visit for enforcement of the laws and regulations. The state has failed to put in place a policy which supports these initiatives of Home based Enterprises for the poor in the informal settlements. This paper attempts to identify different types of Home Based Enterprises, analyses use of space for both functions i.e. residential and workplace with emphasis on the effect of more functions of a residential house. This paper further, analyses space use under the combination of residential and income generating purposes at Buguruni Mnyamani informal settlement. The paper also presents some spatial and environmental effects of the phenomenon and how residential and income generating functions co-exist, with emphasis on the arising conflict. Empirical evidence from a settlement called Buguruni Mnayamani as a case study area where recently research was carried out is used to examine space use and environmental effects. The case study revealed that there is substantial modification in existing residential houses in order to accommodate the double functioning of the dwelling. Major modifications noted, were observed to be an essential phenomenon. Despite of its important role in improvement of livelihood activities which contribute significantly in income generation and poverty alleviation the operation of double functioning of houses have been observed to raise some environmental effects such as nuisance, overcrowding, blocking natural light, lack of natural ventilation and a number of risks to the users of dwellings.
