Abstract—This research develops the concept of resilience
that seeds from the low income community settlement in dealing
with problems and changes occur in urban areas. Vulnerable
state is addressed by action in the form of prevention, adaptation
and improvement to survive and, at the same time, to change
without losing its identity. Vulnerability in the environmental
dimension is the focus of this article, with consideration to
strong linkages with residential area.
Using qualitative descriptive method, this study examines the
aspects of preparedness, mitigation measures and response
capabilities of the community in the context of
creating/improving the level of city resilience. This study shows
that rental flat for low income community has a great value
deserved to be improved to be able to contribute in creating
resilient city.
Index Terms—Low income community, rental flat, urban
resilience.
