Kajian Adaptasi Spasial Penghuni terhadap Ruang Hunian di Rusunawa Seruwai Belawan

Abstract

This study examines the spatial adaptation of residents to residential spaces in Rusunawa Seruwai Belawan. The increase in residential areas continues to occur along with the increase in the number of human population. Not only livable residential areas, but also slums and illegal settlements. This is influenced by various factors, one of which is the economic limitations experienced by low-income people (MBR). One of the government's strategies in reducing slum settlements and unfit for habitation is to provide vertical settlements in the form of rental flats (rusunawa). This situation also exists in Medan City, namely the construction of Rusunawa Seruwai Belawan with type 21. The total residential units are 288 consisting of 3 twin blocks. After the dwelling unit is occupied by the community, various attitudes and different behaviors are perceived from horizontal to vertical housing. In addition, the area of the residential unit is limited and does not meet the person's space limit, which is 7.2 m2/person if it is assumed to be occupied by a maximum of 4 family members. The number of movement space for type 21 is 5.25 m2/person. The purpose of this study is to find the form of spatial adaptation of residents in Rusunawa Seruwai Belawan. This study uses a qualitative deductive method and approach with data collection techniques using interviews, observation and documentation. The results of the data collection are processed in a way, namely making a spatial mapping in Seruwai Belawan Flats, making guidelines based on adaptation aspects that occur in Seruwai Belawan Flats and making differences between the initial residential plans and the residential plans after being occupied by residents. The results of the study contained 2 findings related to spatial adaptation of the informant's residence in Rusunawa Seruwai Belawan, namely spatial adaptation to narrow spatial layouts and adaptation to privacy spaces. The new finding is that residents occupy communal spaces, consisting of corridors in front of the dwellings.
