AbstractMulti Storey Flats is being promoted by the government as a viable solution to low income housing in Jakarta. For reason of social and cultural background, the project is less favored by the people as compared to other housing projects. There have been several attempts by the Indonesian Government to enforce measures to ameliorate the undesirable living conditions in Multi Storey Flats. The aim of this study is to explore the design improvement for the Multi Storey Flats to make it acceptable for the needs and various requirements of low middle income people. This includes economic conditions, social behavior and cultural background of the community. Basically, "kampung" as the traditional settlement pattern of Indonesia influences the assessment of neighborhood patterns in Multi Storey Flats, in leading to several improvements to be made on the existing Kemayoran design. The improved design proposal were tested with the target population, using a 1: 50 scale model. Most of the respondents agreed with the proposed improvement which would be possible to build within the original construction budget.
