Abstract: Kampung Improvement Program(KIP) is a well-known project for improving living environments in urban residential area in Indonesia. One of the most important concerns that has come about as a result of KIP is the need to establish a new urban housing model considering the redevelopment plans for Kampungs in the next stage. This paper tries to evaluate the outstanding example called Rusun(Rumah susun) Sombo which was designed and organized by Prof. Johan Silas(ITS) for the future development of the urban housing model, based on the analysis of utilization of common space. The dwelling units in Rusun Sombo were provided in two steps using the skeleton-infill system. The inhabitants decide how to use the inside of their dwelling unit after moving in and construct the infill walls themselves. As well as planning the buildings, a totally unique approach was taken through the whole process of the project.
