Boarding houses are one of the most common types of accommodation used by university students, especially in urban cities. Student boarding house or Indekos represents a typical environment for students to balance their academic, personal, and social lives. Indekos function not only as places for resting and living but also as multifunctional spaces for studying, socializing, and performing daily routines. The current understanding of how students use time within these spaces remains limited, particularly in relation to their spatial behaviors, which leads to routine activites. The focus of this research is to identify the types of activities and duration performed by students in the boarding house or indekos using William Michelsons Time-Budget theory. Using mixed-methods approach, this study collected data through an open-ended questionnaire for the exploration of activity variables, which were then analyzed quantitatively using Factor Analysis (FA). From the results of preliminary exploration, it was found that students exhibit different activity patterns between weekdays and weekends. While the results of the latter analysis show that indekos serves dual roles: as efficient transitional spaces during weekdays and as flexible, restorative spaces on weekends. This study provides insights for the design of student boarding house or indekos that is more adaptive and compatible with their daily living patterns.

Conclusion

This study concludes that students have their own pattern of dwelling in the boarding house that reflect the dynamics of temporal activities (planned-unplanned), as well as both individual and collective needs.The findings reveal that boarding houses serve as transitional spaces during weekdays and restorative spaces during weekends.The study highlights the need for boarding house designs that support both structured and flexible activities, accommodating students diverse needs and behaviors.

Future Research

Further research should investigate the impact of specific spatial configurations within boarding houses on student learning outcomes, exploring how different layouts and amenities influence concentration, collaboration, and academic performance. Additionally, studies could examine the role of boarding house design in fostering a sense of community and social interaction among students, potentially through the creation of shared spaces and communal activities. Finally, longitudinal studies are needed to track how student activity patterns and space usage evolve over time, considering factors such as academic progression, social integration, and personal development, to inform more adaptive and responsive boarding house designs that cater to the changing needs of students throughout their university experience. These investigations should consider the unique needs of different student demographics, such as international students or students with disabilities, to ensure inclusive and equitable housing solutions.
