Abstract

This study aims to recognize the improvement process by inhabitants in an urban riverside settlement. We found that, besides improving their houses, inhabitants in the settlement also improved the environmental infrastructure and provided neighborhood facilities such as a small mosque and daily goods stalls. We also found that there are three types of house improvements i.e. improving the house building materials, extensions or modifications of house layout, and the conversion of raft houses to pillar houses. Based on these findings, we recognized that improving houses and environmental infrastructures have been derived from the habitual activities of inhabitants in the settlement. This study also revealed the indication of some inhabitants hope that the government should be involved in the area's improvement process.
