*3.4.4. The dweller's safety, comfort, and satisfaction*

The houses that had been constructed were directly occupied by the dwellers. Their sub‐ jective response to safety, comfort, and satisfaction was measured using questionnaire. It was measured after the houses were occupied for 30 days. On the average, they felt highly comfortable, safe, and satisfied. The participatory approach to the construction caused the dwellers to feel highly satisfied. They were directly involved from the planning to the construction.

#### *3.4.5. The dweller's life quality*

The people's dynamic human life always interacts with the environment where they live, the facilities and infrastructure they use, the organization they belong to, the activities they do and the houses where they can take a rest. The house that is constructed using the concrete block as the walls with the bamboo reinforced concrete structure can make the environmental condition safe and comfortable for its dwellers. This can improve their health quality as they can do their activities in the healthy, comfortable, and safe environment [1].

The anthropometry that is adjusted to the facilities and infrastructure available leads to an easier access [25]. Similarly, the maximum natural illumination contributes to the dweller's safety. It saves the electric energy that then can reduce the household costs. In addition, it can also hamper the global warming and delay the natural sources such as the coal from being used up [8].

The SHIP approach, which gives emphasis on the dweller's participation from the planning, during the construction and in the maintenance of the house can make the dweller more satisfied, as what he/she suggests can be accommodated [1]. In short, the simple house with the bamboo reinforced concrete structure fulfills the requirements of being healthy and safe and this positively contributes to the dweller's life quality. If a house is constructed based on what is needed and expected by the dweller, it can function as a means of improving his/her life quality [6].
