Living in an apartment has increasingly become popular.“Most of Jakarta’s residents are more accustomed to living in a landed house and when they live in an apartment, many are not ready for apartment-living habits and regulations. They have to abandon their mindset of living in a landed-house,” he said.He said that an owner of apartment should also consider aspects of designing and building materials that are safe for children. “The quality of building materials should be prioritized,” he said. “Children’s safety should be the main concern with regards to the building materials that are used,” he said.
