The problem of poverty and the problem of slum settlements is a common problem in urban areas, including in the city of DKI Jakarta. These two problems are mainly caused by the high population, which is generally caused by the level of urbanization. To solve the problem of slum settlements, the government has several solutions, one of which is the relocation of people in slum settlements into flats. But this solution has not been able to solve the main problem of the emergence of slums and slums, namely community poverty. The Marunda Urban Village Flat Complex is one of the flats which has the main occupants in the form of low-income people. To solve this problem, we need a program that can improve the economic conditions of the poor. Therefore, this research was carried out to determine the form of community economic empowerment that is in accordance with the needs of the people who inhabit the Marunda Sub-District Flats Complex. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of economic activity, determinants of economic development, and forms of economic development activities that are appropriate for the people in the Marunda Flats Complex. This study uses primary data and secondary data collected through interviews, observation, and questionnaires, and literature research. The data in this study were then processed using the descriptive analysis method and the Pearson correlation analysis method. Through the analysis carried out identified the economic characteristics and social capital of the residents of the Marunda Sub-District Flats Complex, in the form of jobs, income, expenses, social activities, and norms that form community social ties.
