Abstract
ABSTRACT We investigated mould risk, TSP and PM2.5, and the self-reported prevalence of respiratory diseases in a typical unplanned urban residential neighbourhood (Kampung) in Bandung, Indonesia during 2018–2019. Based on the results, this paper developed design modification plans for the selected five houses aiming to remediate the health burden the residents are currently facing, and created a design modification matrix that can assist in the decision-making process. The results showed that Kampung houses were suffered from severe dampness and mould risks. TSP and PM2.5 were also alarmingly high. The best options to remediate those are the use of exhaust fans, together with the use of proper finishing materials, i.e. water-resistant materials and mould-resistant paint, using shading devices to improve the indoor comfort on hot days and the change of occupants’ behaviour so that the residents adopt more sustainable daily behaviours.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development aims to provide a forum for cutting-edge research and rigorous debate for an in-depth and holistic understanding of the complex inter-related environmental, social, economic, political, spatial, institutional and physical challenges facing urban areas. Its premise is that multi-disciplinary approaches provide the space for the range of disciplines and perspectives related to the full breadth of issues that affect urban sustainable development.
