摘要：Thisresearchprovides empirical evidence on behavior, daily activities, use of space of residents living in low-costhousing in Jakarta.This study is focusedon the contemporary housing units' issue which were designed with little regard for users' behaviour activitiesand which, by neglecting some of their fundamental needs (Heimsath 1977)and furtherleadsto a range of both residents' positive and negative perceptions toward their space and conducting a coping behaviours. The primary data,collected through semi-structured interviews with 21-sqm unit residents of low-cost housingin Jakarta, were analysed and interpreted by qualitative-quantitativemethodsusing the StatisticalPackage for Social Science (SPSS)and results were furtherpresented indescriptive form.Thisstudy revealed that the design strategies for the 21-sqm units inadequately meet the residents needs of daily activities and spatial usewhich was proven from residents' negative perceptions of space and the rooms'functions which is being utilizedinappropriatelyand ineffective ways.The residents were enforced to adopt various coping-strategies and modes of spatial-adjustment to compensate for both physical and behavioural limitations of their living space and extended areas within housing-complex.The implications of findings suggest that architects should develop design ideas basedon a more profound knowledge of potential users' behaviour and daily activities, particularly in designing low-cost housing in which the users are mostly not involved in the design process.
