| dc.description.abstract | Medan City has taken measures to tackle the issue of inadequate
housing by offering basic rental flats (RUSUNAWA) for low-income
communities (MBR). This initiative is a response to the pressing issue
of escalating land density in Medan and the emergence of slum
settlements among disadvantaged residents who are unable to
purchase or rent homes. Particularly in swiftly developing industrial
zones, the demand for housing is on the rise. This situation is driven
not only by local residents in Medan but also by migrant workers who
come to the city to work in these industrial sectors. Nevertheless, this
growth is not in harmony with Medan's climate equilibrium due to the
absence of bioclimatic concepts in construction practices. To tackle
this challenge, bioclimatic-concept flats emerge as a promising solution
for low-income communities. These flats are crafted to offer costeffective,
eco-friendly housing, uphold energy efficiency, and provide
comfort for industrial workers. Consequently, this approach also
upholds the principles of synergy between structures and the
environment, striving to attain a equilibrium between urban expansion
and environmental sustainability in Medan. | en_US |
