Abstract
In urban areas like Jakarta, the rapid urbanization increases the high level of housing needs that leads to the emergence of slums. The way the governments solve this problem is seen as inhumane and not viable at all. The solution proposed by the government actually creates new slum problems. The objective of this project is to upgrade the riverbank slum into a green settlement with improved housing by implementing six principles of Green Architecture into the design. Field measurement and interview were conducted to obtain data for simulation using Ecotect Analysis and ANSYS Fluent software. The result emphasized that respect for has a major role in achieving compatibility between user and environment.
Highlights
AS the largest metropolitan area in Southeast Asia, Jakarta is experiencing the persistent urban problem; over population [1]
Rapid urbanization has created problems of land and housing scarcity, and as these scarcities increase and housing prices rise, economic constraints force the poor to inhabit land that no one else wants [2]. These are the main causes of the growing number of urban residents living in informal settlements, or should we call, the emergence of slums
Slums are often formed in city waste disposal sites, railway tracks, riverbanks; and private unoccupied land [3]
Summary
AS the largest metropolitan area in Southeast Asia, Jakarta is experiencing the persistent urban problem; over population [1]. Rapid urbanization has created problems of land and housing scarcity, and as these scarcities increase and housing prices rise, economic constraints force the poor to inhabit land that no one else wants [2] These are the main causes of the growing number of urban residents living in informal settlements, or should we call, the emergence of slums. To respond the issues explained above, the design aims to provide upgrade the riverbank slum into a green settlement with improved dwellings quality that meets the needs and suits the behavior of the residents of the riverbank slum in order to accommodate them The site of this project is located in RW 12 of Bukit Duri, Tebet, South Jakarta (Figure 2). The climatic condition is uncomfortable, the buildings are in an awfully bad condition, the are is very dense, and flood happens almost everyday in wet seasons
