responsible for residential areas where guidance is carried out by the
government. It means that the problem of housing as a place of residence is
a form of state responsibility to improve the human welfare. In article 6
paragraph 1 is also explained that the function of guidance includes planning,
regulation, control and supervision. Furthermore, in 2015-2030 Sustainable
Development Goals number 11, inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
settlements are one of the main objectives of urban development.
The Housing and Urban Development Institute in 2017 explained that at
least six main housing problems that must be resolved by the government.
The issues cover the low number of home ownership, slum areas, low
community self-reliance, lacking purchasing power, the occurrence of large-
scale land tenure, and the absence of institutional systems and housing
governance (Rinaldi, 2017).
Housing construction is intended to overcome the backlog. Backlog is the
gap between houses built with the houses needed by residents (General of
Budgeting Directorate, Ministry of Finance, 2015). Backlog is used as one of
the indicators in the housing sector to measure the needs of homes in
Indonesia as a part of National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN).
According to Statistics Indonesia (BPS), in 2015, there were 11.4 million
home ownership backlogs, meaning that in 2015 there were 11.4 million
households living in a rent house. DKI Jakarta is a province with the lowest
level of home ownership in 2017 (48.33 percent). DKI Jakarta is a province with
the highest population density in Indonesia. DKI Jakarta has 10.5 million
people or population density reaches 15.3 thousand people / km2 (BPS-
Statistics Indonesia DKI Jakarta Province, 2015). In 2017 only 48.33 percent of
households in DKI Jakarta own their house. It means that more than half of
DKI Jakarta's households do not have their own dwellings, but living by rent,
free rent, or others. The large number of households that do not own a house
if not regulated by government may create problems such as slums (including
improper housing) or living in the area that are not supposed to build.
The DKI Jakarta Government has launched “the DP 0 Rupiah Houses
Program”. This program is intended for residents having a maximum of 7
million rupiah per month. They can buy a house with zero rupiah of down
payment. Due to limited land, the housing offered is a vertical residence with
the concept of a simple flat owned (rusunami). The program is targeted to be
started in 2018 (Thalib, 2016).
The population of DKI Jakarta is a heterogeneous and complex society
because it comes from all over Indonesia with different backgrounds,
ethnicities, cultures, and mindsets. The target of the Housing Program is
lacking if only looking at the income factor. Additionally, according to
Governor Regulation number 182 of 2017, the Provincial Minimum Wage
(UMP) of DKI Jakarta is only Rp. 3.35 million per month.
