Rusunawa Pangakalarang is the first flat built in Pangkalpinang City to meet the housing needs of low-income people and help overcome slums. There are four blocks in the flat, of which two are in an abandoned condition and make the block damaged and unkempt. The physicality of the rusunawa building whose condition still requires a lot of building maintenance in Block A and Block B, not all units of Block C and Block D that are inhabited are in a ready-to-live condition, and the limited availability of supporting facilities shows a decrease in the livability function of the flat. The rusunawa development policy must also be livable, namely comfortable, safe, and livable so as to be able to create livability in urban space and reduce slum areas. This study is intended to assess the effectiveness of the Pangkalarang Rusunawa development policy from the perspective of livability. The approach method used is a qualitative approach method that will be applied to livability variables, such as physical residence, safety and security, the affordability of the flat to public facilities, the completeness of the rusunawa facilities, the economic and social conditions of the residents, and the psychological impact of the rusunawa residents. Primary data were obtained from observations, interviews of stakeholders and residents of the flats, and secondary data were obtained from several related agencies. By using qualitative analysis methods and scoring analysis, it can be obtained that in the first target it can be seen that the livabilities of the unit area, unit capacity, ventilation and lighting, availability of clothesline rooms, clean water services, electricity, telephone / internet, and road networks have been met. However, the flat building has a capacity of <50%, the feasibility of the quality of the residential unit building is not well maintained, and Blocks A and B are in a severely damaged condition, there is no special housing and supporting facilities for the disabled and elderly, and environmental cleanliness that has not been met. In the second target, it was obtained that the livability of the availability of disaster equipment, safety completeness, and airworthiness have been met. However, there is no socialization of disaster management and crime prevention, and the availability of surveillance cameras or closed-circuit television is still limited which has not been met. Then on the third target, residents have the ability to reach public facilities and workplaces with a radius of <10km. The fourth target explained that drainage is still problematic because there are leaks, waste management with a reduce, reuse, and recycle system, worship facilities, sports that have not been well maintained, and the unavailability of hall space. Meanwhile, related to the livability of green open space, health facilities, and children's facilities have been fulfilled properly. The fifth goal explains the ability and desire of residents to reach and use public transportation and social activities of residents, as well as organizations for flat dwellers have not been fulfilled. However, residents can afford to pay rent and socialize with their neighbors. The sixth target explains that residents there are enough to feel the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic with residents being laid off from their jobs and various sectors such as the trade sector which has become sluggish which has an impact on residents' income. From this study, it is known that Pangkalarang Rusunawa has a percentage of livability of 76.19%. At the end of this research study, recommendations were given so that the livability or habitability of the Pangkalarang Rusunawa could be more effective.
