ABSTRACT
Krajan Kampung, Krian - Sidoarjo is one of the settlement areas affected by the development of the
surrounding area, mainly due to its proximity to the center of activity and trade services in Krian District. In
addition, these areas are also affected by industrial activities that provide employment opportunities. These
settlements have the potential to develop into densely populated areas and degraded the quality of settlement
that tends to be slum.
This paper aims to find out the concept of settlement area based on sustainable development. This research is
conducted by field observation-case study method that is descriptive, in accordance with aspects of sustainable
development.
The implementation of Sustainable Housing concept in Krajan Kampung consists of environmental, economic,
social and cultural aspects. Handling on environmental aspects involves the provision and improvement of basic

I. INTRODUCTION
Backrgound
Along with population growth in urban areas, the need for housing and the provision of housing infrastructure
and facilities will increase as well. The increasing demand for housing and the development of settlements will
also be more rapidly. According to Aluko (2011), the phenomenon of increasing urbanization caused large cities
to grow rapidly and unplanned, downtown area decreased quality and developed into slums. This condition is in
line with the level of rural-urban migration (urbanization) that has triggered high demand for housing,
employment, and pressure on existing urban infrastructure which is related to the emergence of slum settlements
(Joshua and Glanda, 2016).
Slums can arise because residents or local communities are unable to meet basic infrastructure needs in
residential environments. These conditions are associated with low income levels. In addition, urban slum areas
are emerging as one of the less successful impacts of urban settlement construction and limited land on urban
area (Wijaya, 2016).
On the other hand, slum areas have advantages or positive values for the inhabitants, like to provide shelter, jobs
and livelihood, especially for low income communities. Elrayies (2016) states that slum areas are still attractive
for people to stay and find work. In developing countries, slums are often home to an abundance of labor in city.
Krajan Kampong is located near the center of activity and trade services in Krian District. In addition, Krian
areas are also affected by the development of Surabaya and Sidoarjo cities. All this provokes the occurrence of
urbanization because of employment opportunities due to industrial activities and trade-services.
Krajan Kampong is located in Krian – Sidoarjo, near the center activity of Krian District, and consists of 3
groups of neighborhoods: Western, Central, and Eastern Krajan, which are impacted by trade and services area
