| Abstract | Kampungs are the informal, unplanned and until recently
un serviced housing areas, which form a large part of most
Indonesian cities. Kampungs in urban centres have very high
population growth rate of a bout four percent per year. Population
density in several kampungs exceed s 1 , ODO persons per hectare ,
which reduces the opportunity for decent living. The physical
conditions of housing and habitat f or a large part do not fulfill
the requirements for a healthy environment. Afford ability of a
large part of kampung population is very low. The price of the
urban land is too high a nd there is limited public and private
capacity to develop the ne cessary infrastructure a nd facilities
for ho us ing.
The problem can not b e solved b y adopting conventional
housing approaches. PERUMNAS <National Urban Development
Corporation) has started providing vertical housing <urban
renewal) to solve the problems in the Kebon Kacang area o f
Central Jakarta. The aim of the urban renewal project was torehous e as many original inhabitants of the kampung as possible
and to improve their living conditions.
This study aims at an evaluation of the Kebon Kacang urban
renewal project, through a n analysis of the prevailing conditions
and of the opinions of the inha bitants who have been aff ecte d by
the project. It a l so comp ares the living co ndi t ions of the
community in t h e renewal project with their previous living
conditions a nd those i n the k a mpung ne ar the project.
The mai n finding o f the st ud y i s that only 22 percent of the
origi nal inha bitants were rehoused in the renewal area and that
co nse quentl y the project was n o t a suitable sol uti o n for the lowincome people. Ther e was a cross subsidy but t he sales price of
the flat s was st ill t oo high and most original inhabitants could
not afford the flats. The flat inhabitants were satisfi e d wit h
the living co ndi tions but the degree of acceptance of t he d esign
was low. A r e ntal system may b e an alternative for low-income
people to ha ve access to he a lthy dwe lling units in the central
ci t y area.
