There is a need to deliver more environmentally and socially sustainable housing if we are to achieve a transition to a low carbon future. There are examples of innovative and sustainable housing emerging around the world which challenge the deeper structures of the existing housing regime. This paper uses the analysis of socio-technical dimensions of eco-housing presented by Smith to explore the development of an emerging sustainable housing model known as Nightingale Housing in Australia within a sustainability transitions framing. While there were several similarities to Smith’s analysis (e.g., establishment of guiding principles, learning by doing), there were also some key differences, including the scaling up of sustainable housing while using tried and tested design principles, materials and technologies, and creating changes to user relations, policy, and culture. Smith’s dimensions remain a good framework for understanding sustainable housing development, but they must be located within a scaling up sustainable housing agenda. What is required now is to develop a better understanding of the processes and opportunities that such housing models offer policy makers, housing researchers, and building industry stakeholders to achieve a broader scale uptake of sustainable housing both in Australia and globally.

Sustainable development and sustainable housing indicators are a response to the trend of adopting sustainable development objectives, adopted by most countries, especially developed and less developed countries. It is difficult to implement indicators developed for a developing country context in other contexts with different social, economic and environmental conditions. Social sustainability is the most important priority regarding evaluating the housing development projects in the developed and less developed countries. Economic conditions is linked in many aspects to the social sustainability indicators. Environmental indicators are important, but the less developed countries in general has a very low environmental foot prints, this is because the industry sector is usually week comparing to the developed countries. This paper reviews the sustainable housing indicators, with a focus on United Nations reports and indicators developed for contexts similar to study area, without ignoring the most reputable indicators developed for developing countries context. The research came with a set of indicators reflects the social priorities of the new housing development in Sudan. A questionnaire participants decided the relative important of each indicator and also the importance of the parameters of each indicator. Developing a set of social priorities for Sudan will give extra efficiency in promoting and assessing sustainability in the study area. Description of the questionnaire results which reflects the national social sustainable housing development priorities are discussed. The researches came with a set of recommendations to enhance the social aspects for new housing development projects in Sudan. Using this set of priorities and recommendations will give extra efficiency in promoting and assessing sustainability in the study area.

ABSTRAKAglomerasi suatu kawasan sering kali disebabkan adanya konurbasi suatu wilayah dengan dipengaruhi adanya perkembangan kawasan perumahan dan permukiman dalam suatu wilayah sehingga perlu adanya arahan terkait pemanfaatan lahan dan pengendalian pembangunan perumahan dan kawasan permukiman khususnya yang berada pada kawasan lintas daerah kabupaten/kota yang ada di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Adapun tujuannya dari penelitian ini adalah agar tidak terjadi perbedaan konsep pengembangan ruang perkotaan dan permukiman pada daerah lintas kabupaten/kota tersebut, dan keterpaduan rencana pemanfaatan dan pengendalian yang lebih detail dapat terwujud yakni perumahan dan kawasan permukiman yang berkualitas dan berkelanjutan. Adapun metode yang digunakan adalah metode diskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif, dengan bersumber dari data-data sekunder dan data primer. Adapun arahan keterpaduan pemanfaatan dan pengendalian pembangunan perumahan dan kawasan permukiman pada lintas daerah kabupaten/kota diatur dalam sebuah peraturan zonasi yang terbagi atas dua peruntukan yaitu kawasan peruntukan permukiman perkotaan dan kawasan peruntukan permukiman perdesaan. Pada masing-masing peraturan tersebut mengatur terkait perijinan pengembangan perumahan, intensitas bangunan, Sarana dan prasarana pendukung dan moda sarana angkutan masal, pengembangan Fasilitas Lainnya dan Larangan pengembangan lahan.Kata kunci: Aglomerasi, Konurbasi, Perumahan permukiman lintas daerah.ABSTRACTAgglomeration of an area is often caused by the conurbation of an area which is influenced by the development of housing and settlement areas in an area so that there is a need for directions related to land use and control of housing development and settlement areas, especially those in cross-district / municipal areas in Kalimantan Province. East. The purpose of this research is that there is no difference in the concept of urban spatial development and settlements in the cross-regency / municipal area, and that more detailed utilization and control plans can be realized, namely quality and sustainable housing and settlement areas. The method used is descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods, sourced from secondary data and primary data. The directions for the integrated use and control of housing development and settlement areas across regencies / municipalities are regulated in a zoning regulation which is divided into two designations, namely areas designated for urban settlements and areas designated for rural settlements. Each of these regulations regulates housing development licensing, building intensity, supporting facilities and infrastructure and mass transportation modes, development of other facilities and prohibition of land development.Keywords: Agglomeration, Conurbation and Housing Inter-regional settlements.
