Introduction Slum areas are often synonymous with the existence of poor people. This perception is not always correct because in slum areas there are also residents who do not belong to the poor category. This is characterized by the condition of the houses and facilities they have in the slum area. There are two things that characterize the area being said to be shabby.1 The area is not or underserved with supporting infrastructure of the area such as road networks, drainage, sewage channels and others, so that the area tends to be degraded. Housing in the area looks invisible, which is characterized by a lack of ventilation and lighting, in addition to the quality of building materials that are not suitable for being used as building materials for a dwelling and inadequate sanitation management. Based on Law Number 1 of 2011 concerning Housing and Settlement Areas, it is explained that what is meant by slums is uninhabitable settlements due to building irregularities, high levels of building density, and the quality of buildings and facilities and infrastructure that are not qualified, while Slum Housing is housing that experiences a decrease in the quality of function as a residential place. Based on the Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2015 concerning the National Medium-Term Development Plan for 2015-2019, it mandates the development and development of urban areas through handling the quality of the settlement environment, namely improving the quality of slums, preventing the growth and development of new slums, and sustainable livelihoods. Sustainable development is development that includes environmental inequality (LH) in development policy so that development not only solves the problem of improving present-day welfare but also improving long-term welfare.2 Therefore, as one of the steps to realize the target of the 2015-2019 Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), namely a city without slums in 2019, the Directorate General of Cipta Karya initiated the construction of a collaboration platform through the Kota Tanpa Kumuh (KOTAKU) Program. The KOTAKU program supports local governments as the main actors in handling slums in realizing livable settlements, based on Circular Number 40/se/dc/2016 concerning General Guidelines for the City Without Slums (KOTAKU) 1 Basri, H.
