Housing needs in major cities in Indonesia are increasing due to urbanization. The solution taken by the government is to provide rental housing (rusunawa). Low income families who initially live in slums need some adaption when moving into the rusunawa. The purpose of this research is to analyze the socio-demographic relationships of families, social capital and subjective well-being (SWB). Using quantitative method and household survey, this study was conducted by giving questionnaires and interview to 90 residents of 396 rusunawa units. The study use regression analysis. Thus, the result shows that social capital, the social network, and trust, determine the SWB. If SWB is an indicator of the process of adaption of a person or family in a new place, in this study, we concluded that these two variables were very important for the resident. Using social networking and trust, these residents can adjust to a new housing milieu.

“…The local government generally did not involve directly in housing production, except approving the planning permission and building plans for housing construction by both public and private developers. However in major cities such as Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, local governments are also involved in administration and maintenance of public low cost housing with the Federal and State funding [7]. …”

Abstract. Major cities in developing countries are undergoing an enormous migration of peoples from countryside regions. This migration from the countryside regions were mostly to develop carrier and expecting for higher salary for their living survival. Consequently, the large amount of immigrants from countryside to the cities each year had created a great demand for urban housing. The impact from that, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and its surrounding area now is crowded by the low-income group who cannot afford to own an affordable house. The government of Malaysia had aware of this situation and therefore had created the low cost housing especially for urban poor. However, there are many issues and problems arise regarding the low cost housing in Malaysia especially in urban area. The research is regarding a study on problems and issues of high rise low-cost housing in Malaysia. The need to examine the problems associated with the high rise low cost housing is to ensure the success of future low cost housing development in Malaysia.

“…In year 2005, the statistics showed that every third habitant of a city lived in unfavourable conditions and projected about 35 million apartments a year to be built to fulfil the urban housing demand [10]. In Malaysia, the population growth and urbanisation will lead to high demand of affordable housing issues [32]. Based on these facts, there is a need to change the existing IBS practices to the proven efficient and rapid modular construction as proved by China to construct fifty-seven story skyscrapers apartment within 19 days in 2015 [2].…”

Prefab modular construction approach is a well-established volumetric structural product through off-site prefabrication at factory. Modular construction approach builds confidents to promote sustainability in construction industry development and is beneficial to the environment ecosystem. The study explored and discussed on various non-structural perspective of IBS modular construction in Malaysia. The study aims to investigate the importance of the implementation of IBS modular construction in Malaysia as rapid efficient construction process and poised to help the Malaysia construction industry grow to solve the housing demand impacts. The study presented the definition, prefabrication technology, history, benefits, barriers and issues, application and characteristics of modular construction in the Malaysian construction industry through literature review. Based on the literature reviewed, the existing IBS practices in Malaysia is still low in application and modular construction practice currently had gained popularity worldwide and been proven as rapid and efficient construction method in IBS trend. Therefore, the existing IBS practices in Malaysia must be strategized towards more efficient and rapid construction method due to its numerous benefits and characteristics. The findings of this study will contribute to the transformation of existing construction practices to modern modular construction approach and proposed the future study on modular construction in structural perspectives.
