| dc.description.abstract | Medan's industrial estate is experiencing rapid growth, which has led to
an increase in the need for housing for factory workers. Flats are a solution
that is widely implemented by the government, but often does not take into
account the behavior and needs of residents. As a result, residents modify the
space independently which has the potential to damage the building structure
and reduce the quality of housing. This research aims to design rental fl ats for
factory workers in the Medan industrial area with a behavioral architecture
approach, so that it can create a more adaptive, comfortable, and supportive
housing for the welfare of its residents.
The research methods used are literature studies, analysis of the
behavior of existing fl ats, and behavioral architecture-based design
approaches. The results of the study show that fl ats that consider space
flexibility, adequate communal space, and design that is in accordance with
the activity patterns of residents can improve the comfort and quality of life of
factory workers. By applying behavioral architectural principles, rental fl ats can
better suit the social and economic needs of residents, as well as prevent
uncontrolled modification of space.
This research is expected to be a reference in the development of
vertical housing for factory workers in industrial estates, so as to not only
provide housing, but also create an environment that supports the social and
psychological welfare of residents. | en_US |
