2 Statement of the Problem

The study aims to examine the impact of constructing a residential space in
densely populated areas. The residential construction is planned to include public areas
that encourage good social interaction, improve neighborhood safety, and raise the
allure of relocating there.
1.3 Significance of the Study
This study aims to see the advantages of constructing residential spaces in
densely populated areas.
Specifically, this research benefits the:
Engineers. This study primarily benefits engineers by providing them with a new
approach to residential space construction. Thus, it helps them address the issue of the
level of social interaction in densely populated areas.
Construction Workers. It is intended to protect residential construction employees
working in restricted areas. If the competent individual has previous experience with
similar restricted areas, there is no need for them to physically analyze each space.
Citizens. Citizen, especially those who live in densely populated areas, are the real
beneficiaries of this study. With residential construction, citizen have the guarantee of
Underprivileged and Homeless Citizens. Individuals or families living in urban or
urbanizable regions whose income or combined family income is below the poverty line
and who do not own housing facilities are also covered by the law on socialized
housing.
Researchers. This study also benefits future researchers in their research related to
residential space construction. This allows them to acquire knowledge from engineers
about whether there are benefits to constructing residential spaces in densely populated
areas.

1.5 Theoretical Framework

The theoretical framework for this study is anchored on Housing Needs Theory
and Housing Deficit Theory. Rossi (1955) developed the "housing needs" framework to
conceptualize residential contentment and discontent. According to Rossi's theory,
households frequently fall out of conformity with their housing and neighborhood
settings as they move through different life cycle stages and have changing housing
demands and aspirations. Stress or discontent with their existing home is caused by the
"lack of fit" between their current and desired housing needs. Migration is a common
household response to stress or unhappiness since it allows a family's dwelling to
match its housing demands.
 Meanwhile, Morris and Winter (1978) developed the housing deficit theory and
used it to define residential satisfaction and discontent. In their housing adjustment
model of residential mobility, they postulate that people evaluate the quality of their
housing in accordance with normatively defined norms. These normative definitions
include both cultural norms, which are determined by societal standards or rules for
living conditions, and personal norms, which are equivalent to households' own
standards for housing. Families who are unhappy and have a housing deficit are prone
to think about making some kind of housing adjustment. By altering their demands and
goals to make up for the discrepancy or by enhancing their living conditions through
remodeling, they may try to make in-place adjustments to lessen discontent.
