Abstract
Tual City, Maluku is one of the cities in Indonesia with slum problems. Based on Mayor Decree No. 182/2014, Tual City contains 15 slum areas with a total area of 133.89 Ha. One of which is Kiom, Ketsoblak Village, North Dullah Sub-district with an area of 2.2 Ha. Kiom is located at the waterfront of a fishermen’s settlement and has no legal permits. This paper aims to contribute to the development of tools for slum mapping, by using spatial information to characterize land use patterns, develop an area typology, as well as slum area mapping taxonomies. The typology of slum areas is based on seven physical criteria such as buildings, neighborhood roads, drinking water supply, drainage, wastewater treatment, waste management, fire protection and legality that identify Kiom as a slum area. Most building construction in Kiom is irregular and not in accordance with building standards. The slums in Kiom are categorized as illegitimate heavy slums. Thus, the best possible scheme is to legalize the land for urban renewal.
