JAKARTA - The Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) said subsidized houses measuring 14 square meters remained habitable and met Indonesia's national standards (SNI).
Director General of Urban Housing of the Ministry of PKP Sri Haryati said the tiny subsidy house can be inhabited by a small family, consisting of two adults and one child.
"So the indicator in SNI is the volume of air in a cubic meter unit which is then converted," Sri Haryati said in her statement, Monday, June 17.
Furthermore, Sri explained that the feasibility of a house based on an SNI is calculated from the need for air volume per person, which is between 18 and 24 cubic meters. If converted, then this need is equivalent to a certain area per person depending on age.
For adults it is 6.4 to 9 cubic meters, while the children are about 4.6 cubic meters. It has all been stated in the SNI. So when in our design the house is 14 square meters, we calculate that it is still standard for one small family, "explained Sri.
According to him, the concept of a 14 square meter house is directed at low-income people, young couples, or families who only have one child. The draft is still in the discussion stage and has not become a final policy.

However, he admits that there are still a number of other regulations that need to be considered before the concept can be implemented, one of which is Government Regulation (PP) Number 12 of 2021 which regulates home management.
"Of course we also read PP 12 of 2021. If there are regulations that need to be adjusted, we will adjust them. In principle, we want to present decent and affordable housing according to the needs of the community," he explained.
