Abstract

Housing issues such as mushrooming slums remain as chronic in most developing countries. Due to the state's restrained capacity, the housing-vulnerable's self-help approaches have been increasingly inevitable and vital for addressing the housing issues. However, there are still two challenges: securing good quality with economic efficiency, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. This study aims at doing an architectural experiment by developing and educating the production of eco-friendly interlocking stabilized soil bricks (ISSB) by employing vernacular materials and technologies for housing-vulnerable communities in Indonesia. In collaboration with a local architectural NGO, the study features a co-creation workshop in which 40 evicted households participate in the whole process. Soil analysis, mixed design, compression tests, and economic analysis are carried out. This paper illustrates that ISSB also has a high potential as an alternative to a burned brick or a cement block. The application of ISSB to self-help housing is expected to have socioeconomic and environmental effects, thereby facilitating the housing-vulnerable's self-help approaches and contributing to addressing the housing challenges in Indonesia.

개발도상국에서 슬럼의 팽창은 만성적인 주거 문제로 남아 있다. 이러한 주거 문제를 해결하는 데 있어서 정부의 역량이 부족하므로 주거 취약층의 자조적인 접근은 아주 오래전부터 불가피하면서도 그 중요성이 꾸준히 증가하였다. 하지만 비용 대비 양질의 확보와 기후변화 완화 및 적응을 위한 노력은 주거 취약층의 자조 주택 접근에서 해결해야만 하는 대표적인 과제이다. 이 연구는 인도네시아 주거 취약층을 대상으로 비용 절감과 기후변화 대응을 고려한 건축재로써 주변에서 쉽게 찾을 수 있는 토속적인 재료와 공법을 활용한 친환경 조립형 흙블록의 제작 개발과 교육훈련을 목적으로 한 건축 실험에 바탕을 두고 있다. 현지의 건축 NGO와의 협업을 통해서, 도시 개발로 강제이주를 당한 40가구의 공동체가 직접 친환경 흙블록의 제작 개발과 교육훈련의 과정에 참여하는 공동제작 워크숍 형태이다. 흙 성질 조사분석, 배합 설계, 압축 강도 시험, 경제성 분석 등의 과정을 통해서, 이 연구는 조립형 흙블록이 기존의 벽돌이나 시멘트 블록의 좋은 대안이 될 수 있음을 조명하고 있다. 향후 본격적으로 자조 주택 건축재로 적용되는 경우, 가구나 공동체 규모에서 건축재 생산 및 시공 시에 발생하는 온실가스를 줄이는 환경적 효과가 예상되며, 건축 비용 및 물류 비용이 절감되고 커뮤니티 비즈니스화하는 경우에 부가 소득이 창출되는 사회경제적 효과가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 접근을 통해서 주거 취약층의 자조 주택 건립을 촉진하고 정부 주거개선 프로그램과의 연계를 통해서 인도네시아의 주거 문제 해결에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
