Abstract :
This Eco-Plus-Bamboo House was proposed with green building approach with
low cost, low technology and low negative impact development concept. This
house would answer most of low-cost housing issues in sub-urban area. The
Eco-Plastered-Bamboo House also would reduce the enormous amount of wood,
brick and steel consumptions. And it would achieve the sustainable or green
home requirement.

Introduction
The world faced extreme environmental problems such as: resource depletion,
global climate change, extinction of plants and animals, loss of wildlife habitats,
increasing pollution, and poverty (Miller, 2003). This was caused by the
exponential population growth and unsustainable development. Further, urban
sprawling and inadequate housing supply existed as the derivation of
unsustainable urban development. 1
Understanding the limited earth’s resources, we believed that wise resource
utilisation need to be done with the local condition. In the developing countries,
additional challenges must be faced such as poverty, limited government
capacity, limited amount of investments and capable human resources.
Eco-Plastered-Bamboo-House Concept
Further, Dr. Andry, Dr Budi and Mr. Mustakim constructed several Plastered-
Bamboo Houses in Indonesia. They were:
• The Prototype House in di PasirImpun, Bandung, West Java;
• The Earthquake Refugee’s House in Sukabumi West Java;
• The Plastered-Bamboo Wall Prototype in Environmental Bamboo Foundation,
Bali;
• The Community Learning Centre (Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat/ PKBM)
in Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java;
• And the Community Centre in Nagalawan, North Sumatera.8
On the other hand, this Eco-Plastered-Bamboo House was proposed with more
integrated green building approach with low cost, low technology and low
negative impact development concept. This house would answer most of low-
cost housing issues in sub-urban area. The Eco-Plastered-Bamboo House also
would reduce the enormous amount of wood, brick and steel consumptions. And
it would achieve the sustainable or green home requirement.
Besides that, the Eco-Plastered-Bamboo Prefab Panel could cater the 30.000 –
180.000 unit of low-cost apartment in urban areas in Indonesia. We also saw its
potential in reducing the urban-sprawling issues in most major cities of Indonesia.

We also believed that the Eco-Low-Cost-Bamboo-Plastered Apartments could
be planned, designed and researched further. Our previous work in this field was
presented in Tanuwidjaja, G. et all. (2009).20
* Price was based on 2008’s building material price in Bandung, West Java area. Price would
vary depending on the resources availability, manpower and tool costs.

The table described the economic advantages for developing the insitu-
plastered-bamboo wall. It proved the competitive advantage to develop this
sustainable wall construction. Although, the cost of Plastered-Bamboo Wall
would vary depending on the resources availability, manpower and tool costs.
But, we believed with sustainable construction practice, we could produce
sustainable and affordable homes in Indonesia.
And we proposed to convert some of the open spaces in the area for bamboo
plantation and home industry (with 30 cm-raised platform). The bamboo industry
eventually would provide job for most of the residents in the village, which mostly
were skilled construction builders. On the other hand, sustainable village
development would be ensured with the sustainable framework as described in
the following schemes.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we believed that competitive economic aspect as well as
integrated planning – design – construction - operation and maintenance
approach could answer the challenging task of providing sustainable and
affordable housing in the Developing Countries. Further, collaboration and
cooperation from all stakeholders would be needed to ensure the sustainable
eco-settlements in Mega-cities of Developing Countries like Indonesia.
