Morphological Study of Planned Human Settlement Affected by Service Trade Activities

Abstract

A planned human settlement is a settlement which is planned and controlled by government. In its development, this human settlement needs support from other areas, for example trade and service areas. However, this service trading area will give effect to residential areas if it's not controlled, especially in its morphological aspects. There are many residential areas which are close to the service trade area and affected by this activity, for example in this case is Tanjung Duren Selatan, West Jakarta. This paper aims to study morphological aspect of planned human settlement affected by service and trading activities. This paper used qualitative method with mapping and parameter assessment based on aspects in human settlement morphology. The study shows that the trade and service sector in Tanjung Duren Selatan give the impact for housing morphology, such as increasing of land use for housing, solid formation dominates more than the formation of voids, morphological formation of figure ground theory, linkage and place that adjusts the impact.
