摘要

In densely populated urban areas, the scarcity of land has necessitated the adoption of vertical housing solutions, including affordable apartments, to address growing housing needs. Bandung City is no exception, experiencing a significant increase in the construction of affordable apartments. However, this rapid expansion poses substantial environmental challenges. To mitigate these impacts, sustainable practices must be systematically integrated into building site development. This study evaluates the green performance of affordable apartments in Bandung City with a specific focus on the criteria of appropriate site development. Data were collected through literature reviews, on-site observations, and photographic documentation, while green performance was assessed by comparing total scores against established sustainability benchmarks. Community perspectives and levels of awareness regarding the implementation of appropriate site development were further examined through structured questionnaires. The findings indicate that the green performance of low-cost and middle-class apartments in Bandung remains suboptimal. Weaknesses include limited provision of green spaces, substandard site selection that fails to meet environmentally responsive criteria, inadequate amenities for pedestrians and cyclists, low non-roof albedo values, and insufficient systems for rainwater runoff management. By contrast, identified strengths include the provision of public facilities, accessible ground floors, and the use of reflective rooftop materials. Conformance with appropriate site development criteria is influenced by factors such as stakeholder awareness, regulatory enforcement, financial constraints, and site-specific characteristics. In this context, architects play a critical role in integrating sustainable design principles at the site level, bridging regulatory requirements with creative solutions to enhance environmental performance. The results of this study are expected to provide actionable insights for policymakers, architects, developers, and urban planners, ultimately contributing to the advancement of more climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable affordable housing in Indonesian cities.
