Abstract

The vertical village concept is the vertical arrangement of settlement, which maintains the character of a village. The vertical village concept's design can be a solution for the dense population in DAS Brantas, Malang City. The problems of the slum make the dense settlements in the DAS Brantas have low settlement resilience. This vertical village concept aims to settle settlements in DAS Brantas, both in economic, ecological, social, or economic aspects through a selfsufficient concept design approach. The qualitative method is used to describe the settlement site to get a vertical village concept design strategy. Meanwhile, we use a literature review to get design parameters in concept design. A settlement can meet its own needs by maintaining the balance of the ecosystem between land and river ecosystems is a parameter design of this vertical village concept. So this design applies the residents' local character such as entrepreneurs spirit as traders and knowledge about planting media. It also makes residential landscapes riparian ecosystems. There are river and land ecosystems, creating the potential of both of them as public spaces served to users by riverfront promenades. It can be an appeal to form thematic village as the city government has planned to tackle slum settlements on the riverbank. The thematic village concept could become a tourist attraction and improve the local community's standard of living and income. That way, this settlement will have good resilience in ecological, economic, health, and social aspects. Resilience settlements will be able to survive in the pandemic era.
