Abstract
Global warming is worsening thermal comfort conditions in residential environments, particularly in regions with a semi-humid tropical climate such as the city of Kupang. The main issue addressed in this study is the uniform design of subsidized housing, which lacks passive heat-reduction elements, thereby causing thermal stress for residents. This study aims to identify user adaptation strategies (behavioral, technical, and technological) in coping with thermal discomfort and to evaluate their perceptions of housing design. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative, utilizing field observations and questionnaires administered to residents of the RRS Baumata and Pondok Indah Matani housing complexes who have resided there for at least one year.The results indicate that peak thermal discomfort occurs between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, with the bedroom and kitchen areas being the hottest spots (32.5% each). The most common adaptation strategies employed were the use of fans (77.5%), opening windows (72.5%), and using curtains (80%). A total of 95% of respondents expect housing design features that are more responsive to the local climate in the future. This study concludes that the current design of subsidized housing does not yet meet passive thermal comfort standards, resulting in residents having a high reliance on self-adaptation. It is recommended that design standards be reviewed through the implementation of cross-ventilation, thermal insulation, and the provision of shade-providing vegetation in site planning.
