Description
Summary:Residential buildings consume a lot of energy and can cause environmental damage, especially in the post-occupation and operating phase. In order to minimize environmental damage, the green building concept was chosen as a solution that can minimize the causes of environmental damage. Pro-environmental behavior of residents is suspected to be influenced by the occupants environment, which is the physical characteristics that exist in the vertical housing. This study aims to analyze the correlation of physical characteristic in a residential building with the value of pro-environmental behavior, especially on student vertical housing. Based on purposive sampling (non-random/non-probability sampling), correlation analysis shows that the physical characteristic has a high correlation with a significant value of < 0.05 towards pro-environmental behavior. The physical characteristics of vertical housing define into three categories, which are site characteristics, building characteristics, and residential unit characteristics. On site characteristics, the highest significant value is at site accessibility, building density, and vegetation distribution. In building characteristics, the highest significance value is in building blocks, distribution systems, building floor area, and the number of residential units. While the characteristics of the residential unit, the highest significance value is found in the occupancy unit area and the existence of the bathroom.
