Typology of Rented Houses as a Former of the Sub-Urban Settlement Character

Abstract

The development of the city area of Jakarta is progressing very rapidly, but the land available for residential needs is increasingly limited so that the development of the city is increasingly expanding to suburban areas. This is triggered by the emergence of new cities built by developers that cause natural growth and changes in the spatial character of the original surrounding settlements that already existed before. This study aims to examine the character of settlements around New City. The study uses descriptive qualitative methods through a settlement typomorphology approach with a focus on residential typology. The research findings obtained are that the rental house building becomes the main character of the settlement through the stair element which is the access to the rented room as well as the access separator between the rental housing function and the residential function of the rented house owner.
