Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) attempt to create sustainable communities and reduce inequalities in the cities. Community inequalities in the housing settlement can lead to spatial segregation. Segregation is defined as a condition where two or more groups live separately from each other in the same territory. Segregation had negative impacts on the living quality and harmony among communities. Observation of segregation is generally carried out in large-scale residential settlements (horizontal housing). However, the trend of residential development shifting towards vertical housing demands a review of segregation phenomenon in vertical housing. PUPR Housing Program 2021 set vertical housing as the main priority of the development, including low-income public flats to supply the housing needs. General registrants and relocation residents currently occupy the low-inclome public flats. This type of residents is differentiated by the dwelling motives, namely voluntary and involuntary motives. The difference in dwelling motives is thought to affect the segregation phenomenon that occurs in vertical housing. This study aims to reveal the segregation phenomenon in vertical housing as well as identify the main factors that influence it. The research was conducted through a comparative study between low-income flats with voluntary and involuntary dwelling motives by using a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection was carried out through interview and direct observation. Data were analyzed using content analysis method. The results showed that there were differences in the segregation phenomenon that occurred in low-income vertical housing with voluntary and involuntary dwelling motives. This segregation can be classified into five types, namely isolation, separation, domination, dissociation, and exclusion. Isolation, separation, and domination types were found in flats with voluntary motives. In contrast, dissociation and exclusion were found in flats with involuntary motives. The main factors of segregation consist of physical factors including floor level, block, and partition; as well as non-physical factors including age, family members, regional origin, and membership status of an organization.
