Agile Urban Dynamics, Housing Characteristics, Slum Residences, Medan-IndonesiaAbstract
Rapid urbanisation in Medan, particularly in the Belawan Bahari district, has catalysed the emergence of slum settlements, requiring an in-depth exploration of housing dynamics. This research employs qualitative methods, including site observations, interviews, and community engagement, to examine the structural, infrastructural, and social factors shaping housing conditions in the slum residences of Belawan Bahari. It analyses construction practices, materials, and structural integrity alongside essential amenities such as water, sanitation, and electricity. Additionally, it investigates community structures, social interactions, and shared spaces, providing a comprehensive view of the area’s social fabric. This agile approach aims to inform targeted interventions, enhancing residents’ quality of life. Expected outcomes include a detailed understanding of housing characteristics, offering insights for urban planners, policymakers, and community organisations. Findings are intended to guide adaptive interventions that address local challenges and utilise existing strengths, contributing to a resilient urban environment in Belawan Bahari, Medan, Indonesia.
