| dc.description.abstract | The increase in the number of patients who are positive for
Covid-19 is not equipped by the capacity of isolation rooms in
hospitals and safe houses assigned by the government, only 20%
of infected patients require hospital care, while the rest 80% are
suggested for self-quarantine and isolation. The problem
becoming more complex for dense informal settlements, as a case
study is a railway-line settlement in Surabaya. Based on the result
of the observation, the house at railway-line settlement has not
met the healthy housing category, if there are residents infected
with the covid-19 virus, self-quarantine in their own house is also
inadequate and it can cause the spread of the virus to other family
members. This study aims to find a design solution for selfisolation units that can be applied in dense informal settlements
during a pandemic. In addition to meeting health requirements,
this isolation unit must be easy to assembly, cheap, and fast in its
construction. The approach used for its design is participatory
planning so that the design results are suitable for community
needs and strengthen the sense of belonging of the community
towards its development and maintenance. | en_US |
