Resilience Residental Planning on Safety-based Urban Housing; Case Study on Urban Housing in Malang City, Indonesia

The design of an environment can affect the quality of any habitable space that humans can live in with a sense of security and comfort. Malang is one of the most developed cities in Indonesia faced with high population and building density problems, where floods and fires are a major threat. This requires a solution that involves planning and physical structuring studies in order to produce a concept of safe urban settlements to improve the safety of city environment toward fire-related disasters. This will also includes planning for evacuation routes, safety facilities and emergency measures within building requirements. It is expected that the concept of fire-responsive settlements will be obtained by using safety-based urban design elements. The method was carried out by conducting an analysis of observing the existing physical conditions by considering socio-cultural, psychological, behavior, and safety aspects. The result of this study will be in the form of design criterias and concepts for residential areas. Furthermore, the concept can be used to support disaster mitigation efforts, reduce fire vulnerability, and increase preparedness to disasters
