Abstract: Informal settlements have dominated many urban areas in Indonesia.They are usually found in areas dedicated as buffer zones between transportation lines and areas outside them.This research has three objectives: identifying and understanding the characteristics of informal settlements along railways, analyzing factors that are frequently associated with common problems and drawing public attention, and setting priorities for future research.Data was collected by reviewing 50 online-accessible news articles published in various media from 2017 to 2023.The selection process of these sources was based on the purposive sampling principle.This study then applies manifest content analysis by adopting topic analysis that is run through the JMP application.Study findings demonstrate that perception of the opportunity to occupy available spaces tends to be neutral, while issues about vulnerability, legal status, safety, and ownership harvest negative perceptions.Factors that often cause common problems and attract public attention include high rents, poor sanitation, threats of eviction, legal uncertainties, safety risks, and inability to access basic services.
