Abstract
Housing parks are one of the shared facilities in planned housing. Its function is to support the quality of life and social sustainability. To create a sustainable housing park needs a pattern of utilization behaviour of its inhabitants. The aim of this study is to identify housing park utilization behaviour based on their level of income. This research is quantitative by using a survey-questionnaire method. Samples are the users of housing parks in the Greater Jakarta area. The unit of analysis is the household from a different level of income. The number of samples was determined using the Lemeshow formula of 96. The results show that the higher income the lower frequency, duration, and intensity of using parks with significant results. There is a contradiction between the provision and the utilization of parks. The better condition of the higher income housing park, the lower of its utilization. For the low-income with a limited area of his unit, they use parks more frequently, long and intensive. The more spacious residential space, the less frequent residents use housing parks because housing facilities are much better in accommodating the various activities of household members. It is necessary to consider the utilization behaviour of the residents in providing housing parks.
