| Abstract | The more commonly practiced approach to addressing to
housing needs so far is to emphasize on the supply side rather
than demand side. Thus housing policy and program still far
too inadequate to fulfill the various target group needs. This
study takes up the case of the Semarang municipality , where
(like many other cities in developing counties ) a greater proportion of the working people (60 'l. of the total labour are e ng aged
in informal sector economic activities. The study makes a case
for a special program for this group as a target group to overcome the housing problem of the city.
In trying to find a solution of the problem, a concrete
housing project scheme is pro posed for the target group. Through
research for this study, data have been compiled and analyzed on
the capacity and ability of housing demand of the target group
who rent houses in various type of residences or settlements in
the city. The rent currently paid plus their monthly and accumulative saving , and the value of owned assets of the target
group are accounted as potentiality of housing demand . Then it
is combined with their preferences to account for key elements in
proposing a suitable hosing scheme for the target group in the
study.
In clearly specifying these elements , a set of hypotheses
where tested which show that the ability and capacity of the
target group is significantly different: monthly income, and
saving s are significantly different by activity type as well as
the work status in the informal sector ; willingness to pay the
down payment and monthly installment significantly different by
the level of income; and the housing priority of the target group
shows that the proximity to the work place is the first consideration compared the other factors.
Con side ring the target group potentialities, a housing
project scheme ha s been designed with the principle of economic use of land and a low construction activities . The spread between the cost of construction and the sales revenues can earn
a surplus of 16.4 percent or 40,967,994 million rupiahs (22,760
US dollars) , even though the projected cost used 90 percent of
housing market price and offered the unit price to the target
group at 10 percent lower than the lowest housing market price.
Hence the adjustment of housing demand of the target group to the
housing project scheme proposed in this study clearly manifests
the affordable units are higher than what is indicated by the
other housing projects currently available in the city. Thus the
soundness of the proposed scheme lies in the fact that many more
people of the target group will be able to buy housing units if
the project proposal is implemented which is not possible from
the currently available projects , either Perumnas or the private
sector ones.
