Implementasi Program Rehabilitasi Sosial Rumah Tidak Layak Huni dalam Peningkatan Kualitas Hunian Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah Pada Kelurahan Rungkut Kidul Kota Surabaya

Social rehabilitation of uninhabitable houses aims to restore social function and improve the quality of housing for the poor through improving the condition of the house and/or environmental infrastructure, either in whole or in part, by applying the spirit of mutual cooperation, togetherness and social values. the value of social solidarity in society. This research examines the implementation of the Social Rehabilitation Program for Uninhabitable Houses (RS-Rutilahu) in Rungkut Kidul Village, Surabaya City, with a focus on improving the quality of housing for low-income communities through collaboration between the government and the community. The aim of this research is to determine the implementation of the RS-Rutilahu program in improving the quality of housing for low-income communities in Rungkut Kidul Village. Based on David C. Korten's program implementation theory, this research examines three main aspects: the program itself, the implementing organization, and the beneficiaries. The research results show that this program has succeeded in achieving the house improvement target, but there are still obstacles related to community participation and strict administrative requirements. It is hoped that these findings can become a reference for increasing program effectiveness in the future.

Arsitektur Sistem Informasi Rehabilitasi dan Rekonstruksi Rumah Terkena Dampak Gempa Menggunakan Framework Togaf

The study focuses on the impact of the 2018 earthquake in the Province of West Nusa Tenggara, particularly the extensive damage to hundreds of thousands of houses. It aims to assess the initial phase of post-earthquake housing rehabilitation and reconstruction activities and seeks to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness. One of the main issues identified is the absence of an integrated information system to facilitate data management and coordination among relevant agencies, often leading to errors and delays in implementing activities. To address this, the research utilizes the TOGAF ADM Framework as an architectural design method, providing detailed guidelines for creating a flexible and adaptable information system architecture. Data is collected through in-terviews, document studies, and literature reviews. The research delves into the vision and mis-sion, regulations, and guidelines pertaining to the rehabilitation and reconstruction process, as well as an analysis of the current business processes and assets owned by the BPBD of the Province of West Nusa Tenggara. The expected outcome is the development of an information system ar-chitecture that can overcome obstacles in rehabilitation and reconstruction activities, resulting in a more effective and efficient process. Moreover, it aims to enhance coordination and resource uti-lization. Ultimately, the study concludes that implementing a TOGAF ADM-based information system architecture can offer a comprehensive solution to the challenges encountered in post-earthquake housing rehabilitation and reconstruction. This resulting integrated and opti-mized system is expected to serve as a valuable reference for relevant agencies in other provinces facing similar situations in the future.

Independent Supported Housing vs institutional housing rehabilitation settings for non-homeless individuals with severe mental illness – longitudinal results from an observational study

BackgroundMost individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) strongly prefer independent living over living in an institution. Independent Supported Housing (ISH) provides housing rehabilitation for persons with SMI in their accommodations. However, most individuals who need housing rehabilitation live in institutional housing settings (housing rehabilitation as usual: HAU). We investigated which housing rehabilitation setting is effective on which variable in the long term to support service users to form an informed preference for either housing rehabilitation setting.MethodsWe conducted a two-year longitudinal observational non-inferiority study to test the effectiveness of ISH in improving participants’ social inclusion, quality of life, emotional social support, capabilities, symptom severity, functioning, service utilisation and costs. Participants were assessed at baseline and after six, twelve, and 24 months. Mixed effects models were computed to test between-group and within-group effects.ResultsThe study included 83 participants in ISH (n = 31) and HAU (n = 52) housing rehabilitation settings with a mean age of 36.2 years. Most participants were male (64%) and had a primary psychotic or schizophrenic (35%) or an affective diagnosis (24%). During the study, ISH participants significantly improved their quality of life (β = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.26 to 0.82), symptoms (β = -0.32; 95% CI: -0.60 to -0.03), and capabilities (β = 4.46; 95% CI: 0.14 to 8.77) and decreased psychiatric hospitalisations (p = 0.04). HAU participants improved their quality of life (β = 0.40; 95% CI: 0.12 to 0.69). Housing and rehabilitation support costs were almost half with ISH than with HAU.ConclusionISH has been shown to be much less expensive than HAU and was associated with several improvements like reduced psychiatric hospitalisations and improved quality of life. Therefore, our findings strongly argue for a preference-driven provision of housing rehabilitation services and to end the institutionalisation of persons with SMI.Trial registrationThe study was registered on December 04, 2018, at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03815604).

Adaptive changes to Korean vernacular houses in Northeast China: the influence of changing family patterns on spatial capacity

PurposeThis study explores the spatial adaptive changes to different ancestral origins of Korean vernacular houses in Northeastern China and discusses the influence of changing family patterns on spatial capacity.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses quantitative and comparative methods to explore changes to space arrangement, space area, and furniture forms in Korean vernacular houses. This study also explores the correlation between changes in family patterns and the changing characteristics of spatial capacity.FindingsThe results elucidate the changing characteristics of Korean houses' spatial capacity. While the changing individual needs of Korean family members have led to increased spatial accessibility, there is a weak correlation variability in remodelling outcomes and changes in individual needs. Moreover, the per capita living area of Korean vernacular houses has increased, and furniture forms tend to be simpler, smaller, and more integrated. These developments reflect the changes in the way of life, production, and family structure.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides a unique perspective on the sociology and architecture of ethnic minority families in China. Its results can help architects and construction firms more intuitively understand Korean houses. This study also provides a reference for the future renewal of Korean houses in the region.Originality/valueAlthough a growing number of studies have examined Korean vernacular houses and family patterns, none have explored the impact of changing family patterns on the spatial organisation of different ancestral origins of Korean vernacular houses. Therefore, this novel study addresses this gap, enriching the literature and providing practical insights.

Legal Certainty Regarding Buyback Guarantees in Banking Agreements

Indonesia is in the development stage in all areas, including facilities and infrastructure in the form of construction and rehabilitation of roads, bridges, public housing, office buildings and public facilities. Meanwhile, development in the spiritual sector includes government development in the fields of education, religion, social, culture and politics. The government always strives for development to be carried out in an optimal manner, whether with short-term, medium-term or long-term development. The desire for a residence is a person's (personal) achievement where it is a personal priority for each individual, some people may consider that the quality of a human's life is incomplete if they do not have a residence or private residence. In this way, a residence or house is not just a place to shelter, but everyone wants their residence/home to have elements of comfort and security, various public and social facilities and adequate facilities and infrastructure. What is an obstacle for every individual here is the limitation in getting ideal housing? Thus, the discussion regarding housing/settlement is of concern to both parties, not just to the dominance of the individual. The parties involved in this include consumers (debtors), developers (developers) and the bank as creditor.

The survival of three large agricultural estates on the north Hampshire-south Berkshire border during the interwar period

Abstract Historians credit the interwar period with the demise of the great agricultural estates but many survived, reduced in area and refocussed on new priorities. Three estates lying in close proximity in north Hampshire and south Berkshire had very divergent interests, but there were similarities, and significant differences, in the manner in which they survived the interwar period. One invested in a programme of renewal of houses and farm buildings, and another adopted a more commercial approach to managing its diverse interests and the third retrenched, cutting investment but maintaining the status quo as an agricultural and shooting estate. All three survived, relatively intact and financially stable, and remain in operation today. An examination of estate financial performance before and after the Great War provides the context to the strategies pursued by the owners and their Land Agents, and their place in the broader rural landscape of the 1920s and 1930s.

Building Resilient Cities: A Comprehensive Review of Climate Change Adaptation Indicators for Urban Design

Urban areas generate more than 70% of the world’s climate change emissions, mainly CO2, produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Climate change is increasing cities’ exposure to climate hazards, such as heat waves or floods. Therefore, there is a need to improve risk management with the inclusion of climate resilience in urban policy design. Despite improved urban climate monitoring, there are still relatively few scientific publications on climate change adaptation in urban areas. Adaptation to climate change is not achieved through specific action, but rather through the adoption and continuous implementation of adaptation actions such as housing rehabilitation, green space management and protection measures for vulnerable groups. This variety of actions makes it difficult not only to identify different indicators, but also to use common benchmarks. Considering the role of municipalities in adapting to climate change, it is crucial to identify adaptation indicators that serve as a basis for decision making, as well as evaluation methods that allow the effectiveness of planned and implemented measures in municipalities. It can be used to determine which measures increase the level of adaptation or lead to poor adaptation. Therefore, monitoring indicators makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures, in addition to formulating new ones. This paper includes a literature review of existing index designed to address climate hazards and mitigate their impacts in urban areas.

Analysis of House Conditions and Optimization of Aid Funds Based on Criteria for Unlivable Houses in Lubuklinggau Timur II District, Lubuklinggau City

This research addresses the problem of public knowledge of uninhabitable houses and the difficulty in identifying houses that do not meet community housing standards, to provide criteria for uninhabitable houses as well as optimize the rehabilitation assistance budget carried out by the Government. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method by collecting data through questionnaires, field observations, and documentation on 69 sample houses. The results of the analysis categorize the level of damage to the house into three categories, namely heavy, moderate, and light damage. From the research results of 69 sample houses, it was found that only 59 houses met the requirements for the uninhabitable house rehabilitation assistance program. In optimizing the allocation of aid funds, the level of damage to the house must be taken into account. With a more objective approach, rehabilitation housing programs can be more effective and provide greater benefits to people in need.

Studiu istoric al unei case urbane stil „Arta 1900”

This paper aims to answer a series of questions resulting from the presence of incomplete and superficial documentation gathered over time in the context of rehabilitation and restoration of historic houses in Turda, some of which are classified as monuments. Therefore, the following questions are considered: What is the value of a historical study in the context of an intervention? What is the structure of a historical study of a building? Who is in a position to carry out such a study and to impose permissions and restrictions? How can the research results be used? Does the history of one building illustrate wider policies of the Austro-Hungarian authorities to urbanise and modernise smaller towns in the realm? Although, this study is dedicated to a single building, located in the historical centre of the town, its detailed study and the reconstruction of its historical and architectural path can provide clues concerning the implementation of urban policies of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in provincial context. The building was classified as a historical monument, but its aspect today reflects its complicated history and the many unfortunate and misguided interventions it has undergone. It has also been neglected by existing research, and thus, its position within the „Art 1900” [Art Nouveau] has not been explored. Consequently, the present research attempts to make the most of the data recorded sporadically in various sources covering the history of Turda. On the other hand, the lack of conservation strategies for this type of heritage, reflected in a coherent legislative framework, has led until recently to a lax and confusing approach at the local administration level as well, as evidenced by the series of renovations and rehabilitation inappropriate to the original style, carried out by the local authority, owners or tenants over time. Good documentation forwarded to the authorities and current owners can, therefore, help these buildings and act as a method of educating the public, providing guidance concerning the value, functionality, and capacity of heritage to create more value for local communities.

Research on indoor thermal environment evaluation and thermal adaptation in winter of Japanese wood-framed detached houses

Indoor space is the place where human beings live, and how to meet people's indoor thermal comfort needs in the context of energy scarcity is one of the important issues for sustainable development of buildings, and the evaluation of the indoor thermal environment has become the key to it. In the case of Japanese wood-framed detached houses, which contain different types of space forms, it is difficult to accurately apply the existing thermal environment evaluation results. In this study, detached houses in Kitakyushu City, Japan, were selected as the research object, and continuous measurements and subjective questionnaires of the indoor thermal environments were conducted based on three modes of no heating, continuous heating, and intermittent heating, in order to grasp the current information of the thermal comfort in detached houses. The results showed that: 1. The average indoor temperatures in both Washitsu and Yoshitsu were lower than the human thermal comfort range; 2. The thermally neutral temperature of 15.9 °C in Washitsu was lower than that of 17.7 °C in Yoshitsu, and the acceptable temperature zones were (14.3–17.5 °C) and (15.6–18.9 °C), respectively; 3. Develop modified models (PMVe) and adaptive predicted mean vote (aPMV) model suitable for thermal comfort evaluation of detached houses in Japan. The results of this study will help to improve the indoor thermal environment and thermal comfort evaluation system of Japanese detached houses, and provide a useful reference for the study of the renewal and renovation of houses in this area.

KEGIATAN SOSIALISASI TUKANG KEGIATAN REHABILITASI RUMAH TIDAK LAYAK HUNI KECAMATAN BALARAJA KABUPATEN TANGERANG

The construction of the Gebrak Pakumis House is part of the commitment of the Tangerang Regency Government which is managed by the Tangerang Regency Housing and Settlement Service in the renovation program for uninhabitable houses belonging to poor residents. Balaraja District, Tangerang Regency, which borders directly with DKI Jakarta Province, is one of the many destinations for migrants outside the residential areas of residents who work around the area. Residential land is getting narrower day by day because most of the area is used as residential areas, causing slum settlements to form. The Uninhabitable House Rehabilitation Activity involves builders who will carry out house construction activities. The builders still have high hopes that this Uninhabitable House Rehabilitation Activity can fully assist in renovating uninhabitable houses into habitable houses that meet the requirements. Location of outreach activities Providing information to builders about the implementation of Rehabilitation construction for Uninhabitable Houses. Preparation method, coordination, identification and verification of residents' houses included in the list of potential aid recipients (CPB), making planning drawings, socializing craftsmen, discussions. In socialization activities, more time is needed because many craftsmen still have minimal understanding of construction, although some craftsmen already have quite a lot of experience. As a result of this socialization, craftsmen understand more about implementation drawings, which in previous activities relied on experience. With the results obtained from this socialization, craftsmen need technical guidance to increase the knowledge and competence of craftsmen to ensure the implementation of Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2023

Strategy of BMT Bima Magelang in Improving Public Welfare Thought Cash Waqf

Cash waqf is one of the methods used to help people with various activities and overcome challenges such as poverty reduction. As a result, it is vital to have an institution that can handle cash waqf effectively and optimally. BMT Bima Magelang is one of the cash waqf institutions that can correctly manage its cash waqf assets in order to increase social welfare. The goal of this study was to determine excellent and proper cash waqf administration in line with Sharia and the standards of good waqf governance, in order to increase social welfare, particularly in Baitul Maal Wa Tamwil Bima Magelang. Because BMT Bima Magelang is one of the waqf institutions that has been successful in managing cash waqf with effective waqf governance in order to increase social welfare. This study employs qualitative research, with data gathered through structured interviews, passive participation observation, and recording. After that, the data was examined using qualitative descriptive analysis. The qualitative descriptive research approach describes the features of phenomena in the field and explains the study object. The findings of this study show that Baitul Maal Wa Tamwil Bima Magelang uses waqf management with the mudhorobah system, with mudhorobah financing allocated to goat farmers and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and that in the management of cash waqf BMT Bima Magelang implements good waqf governance, which improves social welfare through social programs. Profits from the finance are then utilized to fund businesses and make loans. The revenues from the mudhorobah finance are then utilized for financing (scholarships) for BMT members, financing for child circumcision, and rehabilitation of locals' houses that are unsuited for habitation. These several factors indicate that BMT Bima Magelang's cash waqf management is in conformity with cash standardization, good waqf governance, and sharia management.

Renewal Framework for Self-Built Houses in “Village-to-Community” Areas with a Focus on Safety and Resilience

Against the backdrop of rapid urbanization, with the expansion of administrative boundaries, some former villages have been transformed from administrative to urban in the sense that they have become special “village-to-city areas”; in this context, the housing pattern, which was previously dominated by self-built houses, is facing many challenges. In particular, the frequent occurrence of safety accidents in self-built houses in the village conversion areas in recent years constitutes an important component of urban spatial vulnerability. However, the ensuing “one-size-fits-all” ban on self-built housing has also raised concerns among scholars. In order to better guide the planning and construction of self-built houses, official safety inspections, planning guidance, and institutional constraints are essential. However, the safety inspection of self-built houses across China is difficult. On the one hand, it is challenging to obtain data on individual buildings (e.g., age, use, building structure ratio, foundation, structural condition, illegal demolition and alteration, and illegal use), and the methods of obtaining such data rely mainly on the basic checking of the safety grids under the responsibility of grassroots safety officers. However, the current organizational system of safety officers is not perfect, and the relevant evaluation training also has limitations. On the other hand, due to the city’s finances, development stage, and other reasons, the agricultural-to-residential areas in the cities of poverty-stricken counties are not likely to be renewed as rapidly as the cities of developed regions but instead may face long-term renewal timelines. Therefore, for the agricultural resettlement areas in the cities of poverty-stricken counties, it is necessary to screen the current problems, systematically study the mechanism and strategy of their renewal based on the management framework of the whole process, and carry out the organic renewal of self-built houses, so as to gradually realize a safe and resilient development mode. This paper establishes a framework for the renewal of self-built houses oriented to security resilience based on the theory of fortress land under the urban form theory of Conzen. Taking Lianhua County as a case study, we analyze the problems and issues related to self-built housing areas through an investigation of the current situation. Then, in response to the existing problems, based on the comprehensive investigation of the safety of self-built houses, we clarify the planning objectives and value orientation and suggest (i) the adoption of hierarchical and classified planning and construction control for the self-built housing areas of villages converted to residences in accordance with the local conditions; (ii) the enhancement of government supervision in the use of self-built houses and the establishment of laws and regulations; and (iii) renewal planning in an orderly manner to enhance the safety resilience of the self-built housing areas. Based on the renewal study of self-built houses in Lianhua County, a systematic exploration of the planning, construction, and governance strategies of self-built houses in China is carried out, which can provide a reference for the decision making of relevant departments.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM FOR POST-EARTHQUAKE COMMUNITY HOUSES IN NORTH LOMBOK REGENCY IN 2018

Data published by the Government of Nusa Tenggara Barat Province in 2021, the progress of earthquake-resistant house construction in Lombok Utara Regency until July 9th, 2022, has completed 41,750 heavily damaged houses, 1,029 moderately damaged houses and 298 lightly damaged. From the data, there are still 9,040 houses whose physical progress is still in the implementation stage. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of rehabilitating and reconstructing the community houses post-Lombok Earthquake in 2018. The research method used in this research is a descriptive quantitative method with a purposive sampling technique. The research variables were taken from Perka BNPB No. 11 Tahun 2008 and adjusted with existing research objectives. The variables were Program Readiness, Program Planning, Program Implementation, and Program Monitoring and Evaluation. The sample in this research was 100 respondents from the earthquake-affected Lombok 2018 community who received earthquake-resistant house assistance and facilitators who assisted in the housing construction. Data collection in this research was conducted in Lombok Utara Regency through questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The data analysis used in this research was using the Likert scale. The research results show that the Post Disaster Community House Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program in Lombok Utara Regency 2018 has run quite effectively. The average analysis of effectiveness using the Likert scale yields 66.83% for program readiness, 71.60% for program planning, 71.4% for program implementation, and 69.53% for program monitoring and evaluation. The average effectiveness rate produced in this research was 69.84%.

Interpreting the energy choices and environmental satisfaction determinants in low-income housing typologies: Cases from slums and slum rehabilitation housing of Mumbai, India

This study explores the impact of built-environment characteristics and occupant behaviour on appliance ownership, energy consumption, and environmental satisfaction in low-income settlements. A shift in the built-environment setting significantly impacts energy choices, appliance purchase decisions, appliance characteristics, and related occupant behaviour and household practices. This study performs a comparative analysis of the horizontal slums and vertical tenements of slum rehabilitation housing (SRH) in Mumbai by quantitatively investigating the difference in built-environment settings from horizontality to verticality on energy decisions. A Computer-based Personal Interview was conducted among 643 slum and SRH households. This study established the significance of ‘lack of satisfaction and well-being’ as a key aspect of the impoverishment of the slum-displaced population. The displaced population with a tenured house and ‘hard infrastructure’ in the resettlement colonies adapts to the social structure, modifies social and household practices, and delves into improved energy choices, improving living standards. Yet, this minimally decent life fails to provide the occupants with environmental and life satisfaction and well-being. The study establishes that occupant behaviour is individual predilection oriented, and the socio-spatial context of ‘built-environment,’ with following rational modification, can improve the population's energy consumption and environmental satisfaction.

Local Housing Strategy: Analysis of Importance and Implementation in Machico Municipality, Madeira

This article presents a detailed analysis of the local housing strategies (ELH) in the Municipality of Machico, Madeira, examining the diagnosis of housing needs, proposed solutions, and projected goals for the future. In addition to addressing the rehabilitation of private and public housing and the increase in housing supply, the study also explores how ELH relate to the new generation of housing policies and the public support program for promoting housing solutions for vulnerable people. It is important to note that the implementation of ELH in Machico also has a positive impact on the local landscape and climate resilience, promoting the conservation of important forest areas for the production and management of natural resources.

The evolution of female space in Korean vernacular houses in Yanbian: the influence of social logic on spatial configuration

PurposeThis study explores the characteristics of female space evolution in Korean vernacular houses in the Yanbian region of China. In addition, it discusses the influence of social logic on the evolution of female spaces.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilises space syntax methodology to examine the evolution of female spaces in Korean vernacular houses in terms of connectivity value, step depth and integration value. Furthermore, it conducts an analytical exploration of social logic based on the evolutionary characteristics of female space.FindingsThe findings elucidate the evolutionary characteristics of the spatial configuration of female spaces in Korean vernacular houses, with differential changes in connectivity, a gradual tendency towards openness and simplicity and increased accessibility and centrality. This reflects the changing spatial needs of Korean women brought about by changes in lifestyle, consciousness, social status and family structure.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides perspectives and insights into the vernacular architecture and architectural sociology of ethnic minorities in regions of China and Asia. Furthermore, it can provide relevant construction organisations with a more intuitive understanding of Korean vernacular houses and a reference for future house renewal and construction in the Yanbian region.Originality/valueAlthough many studies have investigated various aspects of Korean vernacular houses and female spaces, none have examined the influence of social logical changes on the evolution of female spaces in Korean vernacular houses. Thus, this study is valuable and novel.
