Study of Lighting, Humidity, and Ventilation in RISHA Design at Kampung Deret Petogogan, Jakarta

Kampung Deret Petogogan program is considered successful in changing the face of housing that was previously shabby, neatly arranged with sturdy houses, and housing facilities. Slums are no longer visible in the settlement. Residents now live in a cleaner, neater, and more comfortable environment than before. The government also plans to make the Kampung Deret Petogogan a model for other slums. For this reason, an evaluation is needed whether the housing built with RISHA (Healthy Simple Instant Home) technology has met the health and comfort aspects, including lighting, humidity, and ventilation of a house. The method used in this is an observational study with a qualitative understanding of architectural phenomena in the field based on theoretical knowledge references. Data collection was carried out through direct observation in the field and interviews with the chairman of the community forum o/Kampung Deret Petogogan. The data obtained is compared with the required criteria related to aspects of lighting, humidity, and ventilation of the dwelling. Field findings show that the design of RISHA in the Kampung Deret Petogogan has not met the health and comfort criteria of a house, as seen from the lack of achievement in design related to lighting, humidity, air circulation, and ventilation. There is a need to adjust the RISHA unit’s design to make it a habitable residence that can be applied to other slums.
