Abstract

The growth of the informal settlement appears to occupy the backyard space of the informal housing. This situation leads to the use of the backyard—specifically the ones located directly next to the river—for the inhabitant’s daily activities, such as cooking, trading, and playing. This paper examines various spatial strategies of the inhabitants in utilizing the backyard, despite its spatial limitations. Even though a backyard is a part of private space, it can be transformed into public space, due to the interaction between the backyard’s owner with their neighbors. This study employs the behavioral and spatial mappings to reveal how the people in Kampung Kedaung use their backyard, therefore producing programs that allow the existence of the backyard. The mappings also reveal the impact of the interaction between the locals within the backyard space to their general well-being. The findings of this study were translated into various strategies in allocating the use of the backyard, such as by providing specific characteristics of urban kampung in producing the backyard.
