A western house is a structure generally used as a residence. Houses have assumed a great variety of forms and styles over the ages, reflecting their changing functions as well as differences in culture, climate, available building materials, and technology. Nowadays western house are built increasingly vary. Domestic Architecture Early Forms and Materials. The earliest houses were circular in form, perhaps a legacy of cave shelters. The first known example of a permanent settlement is the village of Zawl Chenui (c. 9000 BC) on the Turkish – Iranian border. It consisted of houses made from mud and reeds, with conical roofs and circular stone bases. The first known use of a rectangular house plan occurred around 7000 BC near Jericho in theJordan Valley. A major innovation in the history of house form was the development of the interior courtyard by the Sumarians in the 4th millennium BC, indicating that the house was now thought of as a place of privacy as well as of shelter.

Indonesian city often contain smaller communities, living and functioning much as a rural community would do. Many of these 'urban village' began spontaneously; some just after World War II, with migrants arriving from other parts of Java, or even from Sumatra, to try and earn a living as small traders in the city center. The introduction of the Kampoeng improvement Scheme has brought better infrastructure facilities and services to these urban village communities. A pity that so many urban come to Java and live in government property,  this make a special problem lately. They already stay there for tenth years and build a permanent house there, but they must go because the availability of land become difficult and government need to build something. This problem become more and more and the solution become difficult to place them in other house. Cheap house for rent become rare this is the special problem should be solved by our government not just drive out the communitie...

Basic of the development of domestic architecture was the megaron house which first appeared in northern Mesopotamia around 1800 BC. This type consisted of the rectangular main room, the Megaron, with a hearth and four columns to support the roof, and an entrance porch with two wooden posts. Greek homes in the Homeric era were influence by the megaron type, and the Mycenaean Greeks use it as the basic unit of their architecture. The megaron house included several fundamentals of construction, posts, lintel beams and the frame. The primitive porch of the megaron house was the prototype of the open column portico of the classical Greek temple. During the classical period (5th and 4th centuries BC) the Greek replaced the megaron type with the courtyard plan. The rooms of Greek houses in the classical period were asymmetrically grouped around three side of a court, with along central porch, the pastas, across the width of the building on the north of the court. In contrast to the irregular...

The first five year plan (Repelita I) of the New Order period ran from 1969 to 1974, and emphasized the rehabilitation of infrastructure, and accelerated production of basic needs, particularly food-crops. During these years the first of a series of regional development programmed was initiated; cash grants were made to every village unit in the country to encourage them to repair roads, irrigation works, and community halls and so on, and to build a new infrastructure. It was intended that these cash grants be combined with contributions of labor and materials from the villagers themselves. In addition, a development grant based on population was paid to each Kabupaten (the level of government below the province) for expenditure on road-building construction of irrigation infrastructure and other approved public works projects.   The second five year plan, Repelita II, which ran from 1974 to 79, was drawn up at a time of rapidly increasing world oil...
