Abstract

The construction industry is facing increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices due to environmental concerns and resource depletion. This study investigates the use of textile waste as a reinforcing material combined with a resin matrix to develop environmentally friendly roster blocks for building construction applications. In Indonesia, textile waste production has reached critical levels, with approximately 2.3 million tons generated annually and projected to increase to 3.9 million tons by 2030, unless interventions to promote a circular economy are implemented. This study focuses on transforming post-industrial textile waste into valuable composite materials that can serve as sustainable construction alternatives to conventional building materials. Through comprehensive material characterization and performance evaluation, this research aims to demonstrate the viability of textile waste and resin composites as viable construction materials while addressing waste management challenges and sustainable building requirements. The developed composites exhibit promising mechanical properties with potential applications in non-load-bearing structural elements and architectural features.

Abstract

Incremental housing emerges as one of the strategies adopted by communities in informal settlements. Incremental housing develops gradually over time, influenced by increasing household needs and adjusted to residents’ capacity to access adequate housing. This study examines incremental housing from a housing-as-a-process perspective within an informal settlement located in Sleman, Yogyakarta. A qualitative research approach is employed by analyzing physical transformations occurring in dwellings and examining the relationship between spatial aspects and economic capacity, which emerges as a key factor in informal settlements.  Out of 36 buildings identified within the study area, five incremental housing units were selected as case studies. The analysis refers to the concept of housing as a process proposed by Turner and the theory of housing transformation articulated by Habraken. The findings indicate that the housing process is predominantly characterized by transformational forms in the form of horizontal and vertical additions, along with elimination in certain cases. The study also reveals the integration of economic activities within residential spaces. Overall, economic capacity is found to be the primary factor controlling the housing process in the cases examined.
