Increasing the number of residents in urban areas will result in several problems in several aspects of the social, economic and urban environment. Physically the city, population growth will be followed by an increase in housing or housing development needs. Limited land in the city center will provide gaps to the community, especially low-income people (MBR) to obtain adequate housing. Increasing the number of residents in the city with limited land will be a problem of the city with the emergence of irregular housing developments that are minimal from city facilities. Cimahi City is part of the Bandung Metropolitan Area which is adjacent to the City of Bandung. In the Cimahi City RTRW it has been directed to realize Cimahi City as the core city in the National Basin Center for Activities (PKN) in the Bandung basin. The development of the City of Cimahi will make the community attractive for activities and living in the Cimahi City area. Population growth will increase housing needs. Increased housing needs that are not balanced with the carrying capacity of land can cause several urban environmental problems including the emergence of informal settlements to environmental degradation. This study aims to understand the relationship between the level of community participation and improvement in the quality of the slum environment and its potential and obstacles. In this study through several stages and variables of the social, economic and social characteristics of settlements, the level of community participation, and the potential and obstacles of the community in improving the quality of settlements.
