Healthy Environment For Your House

If you will buy or build a house in the near future, you should think through and consider several factors. Several factors are: strategic housing location, ease of accessibility and transportation to and from regular destination, such as markets, shopping centers, workplaces, places of worship, school or hospital.

For those of you who chose the house at the location of scattered housing in the suburbs and rely on public transportation, consider the available means of transportation, ranging from motorcycle taxi motorcycles, bajaj, city transportation (public transportation), mini buses, intercity buses, to trains. Hangout, shadow terminal, terminal or station and the scheduled departure to ensure the vehicles please note the departure time to go and return to the workplace or school that requires timeliness.


For those of you who have a personal vehicle needs to learn the main line routes, alternate routes, and the shortest path to the rats to various places of work and school purposes. How much time it takes to reach their destination routine. In how many hours of peak traffic density which is susceptible to regular traffic jams take place.

In addition to the chaos caused by urban planning, location selection house without considering the subject of transportation can cause a family father, mother, and even children had to leave very early (at 5:30) and arrived during the night (21:00) each working day Monday- Friday. Practical house only serves as a place to sleep mere ride, without a chance to enjoy a comfortable life in the house.

Notice the sharp housing conditions surrounding environment.

Is the location of housing and flood free environment in the present and future? Surely not just affordable housing, middle-class home-end and high end are still prone to flooding. If a site near the terminal, observe the level of noise (pollution), sound, pollution (polluted) air, and prone to crime. The location near the market vulnerable to crime, the risk of air pollution (odor), and the mounting trash. Location near the industrial area factory-risk heavy air pollution, water, and sound. Location near the area of high voltage lines are also potentially affected by pollution of electrical energy and electromagnetic fields dangerous to long-term health.


The concept of environmentally sound residential and settlement should be in harmony with the surrounding native environment. Green environment, fresh air, clean water availability, and securely. Beauty of the neighborhood atmosphere can be seen and felt right at the time of passing consumers and those entering the residential area. The atmosphere can only be created by the shade of large trees that grow optimally, which follow the topography of land surrounding natural topography, availability of neighborhood parks with attractive design.

Living in a tropical country like Indonesia, with hot temperatures and high humidity throughout the year, will inevitably need a home atmosphere and a shady neighborhood. Shade is not only a refuge in the house, but how to create shade in our own neighborhood.

After studying the atmosphere, the next step is to check the availability and quality and adequacy of drinking water, water obtained from taps, hand pumps, or pumping machinery. Is clean water shortages, especially in the dry season.

Do not take for granted about the garbage. Learn how to manage and transport waste, whether administered alone or in temporary shelters provided. Do not also choose the origin of affordable housing. There are things more important than that. Safety and comfort are a few things in between.
