Kampung Improvement: Sidomulyo, Kricak + Bina Karya, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
The Game, an iterative process: The game undertaken to devise a massing and planning strategy for the Bina Karya site was extremely useful in testing arrangements and configurations of function as well as links to surrounding context. Certain ‘rules’ where decided upon to inform the testing procedure: ‘Back’ space was also provided through a rule that houses should be placed around courtyards. It was also determined that wells and laundry’s should be central to the courtyards, child care should open to courtyards, community buildings should be part of a house and there should be more open space community areas in connecting to the river.

The connection to the river was to this scheme to address the community next to Bina Karya as to sanitation across the entire

Game 4: This final iteration seeks to address the three different housing typologies mentioned; Middle income, Pekarangan (home + garden) and the Urban Pirate up-for-grabs method, each of which is a valid part of the ‘tenure matrix’ that makes up the complex set of relationships that are the Urban Kampung.

Site Plan 1:1000 : The Scheme:
The Narrative: The instigating figure in these Kampung Improvements is Vera, a mature, wellrespected waria with high community standing in the Sidomulyo kampung. Vera is a member of the Yogyakarta waria prayer room and an advocate for the Waria community in Sidomulyo. Vera’s aim is to see a healing space in Sidomulyo and Kricak for the waria to meet and have community with Sidomulyo. This begins the discussion with local government, through Vera’s contacts and friends in local businesses. The government of Yogyakarta finally allows the Bina Karya site to be opened and utilised. It is proposed that Vera’s business friends set up salons and
businesses along the main street opposite Sidomulyo and build houses for their families - once the building has started it will encourage others to move onto the Bina Karya site.
group. This sets up a series of localised ‘cells’, which help create community, and finally, the ‘Urban Pirate’ model where land entrepreneurs can start to set up site and services blocks for on-sale.
The Government facilitates grants to community groups, industries, religious groups and land entrepreneurs in the sub-division of the Bina Karya site. There are three typologies that must be followed: the ‘Business Edge’ model, which is a middle-income scale house with shop space underneath on the main road, the ‘Pekarangan’ which is a staged, component-based build with support for families wishing to relocate who have a connection to the sponsoring community / interest
The ‘Pekarangan’ typology is a construction system and a response to the need for permanence within tenuous tenure situations. Families may start with a simple, one story Pekarangan, and may only use the communal sanitation, but as they go on and develop their dwellings over time the system allows for expansion, contraction and division of built space. Pekarangan: An Indonesian term from central Java to denote a home + garden eco system.

Components:
Using a base figure of 500 people per hectare. Bina Karya: 1.125 hectares = 600 people. 90% low-income (540 people) 10% middle income (60 people) Division of space: 60 % Built, 10% Amenity, 30% Un-built Therefore, 6,900m2 of Housing 20% small families (1-2 people) 50/50 50% medium (3-5) 20/30/50 30% large (5-10) 40/30/15/10/5 Therefore: 54 (1 person), 27 (2 people), 18 (3p), 20 (4p), 27 (5p), 10 (6p), 7 (7p), 3 (8p), 2 (9p), 1 (10p). Which works out to be 10m2 per person in private and semi-private built space.

The Pekarangan typology is a construction system and a response to the need for permanence within tenuous tenure situations. As mentioned, the narrative revolves around community group, business or industry providing sponsorship to families locating their Pekarangan nearby. The family may initially start with a simple, one story Pekarangan, and may only use the communal sanitation, but as they go on and develop their dwellings over time the system allows for expansion and contraction or division of built space.
