Religious Building over Public Open Spaces?: Mapping Sustainability Factors of Housing for Low-income Families from the Stakeholder Perspective

Abstract

Indonesia has struggled with a housing backlog problem for the last decades. In 2020, about 7,6 million Indonesian households do not own houses to maintain their livings. Most of these families are coming from low-income families which are relying on their livings from informal sectors. They are not only unable to provide themselves with affordable houses, but moreover, they could not have a shelter which fulfills sustainability criteria. This paper aims to reveal empirical evidence of how sustainable housing in Indonesia is identified by its stakeholder. Using a quantitative analysis of Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) this research provides a perceptual map of how stakeholder values sustainable housing from several indicators of sustainability, based on the authors’ adaptation to some previous researches’ measurement. Data were collected from 100 samples from Rural Bandung District of Indonesia, represented respondents from local governments, housing developers, mortgage providers, academia, communities, and non-government organizations. The result reveals that, while housing quality is still below stakeholder’s expectation, it is interesting to find that that religious building, i.e. mosque is more preferable than public spaces such as green open spaces and playgrounds for children.
