Indekos merupakan salah satu alternatif hunian bagi mahasiswa yang ingin menyewa kamar dekat dengan kampus. Beragam fasilitas disediakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mahasiswa dalam beraktivitas ataupun kebutuhan yang menunjang studi.  Kukusan Teknik merupakan salah satu kawasan di Depok yang mengakomodasi kebutuhan hunian mahasiswa Universitas Indonesia. Namun, terbatasnya jenis indekos di area Kukusan Teknik menyebabkan mahasiswa harus memilih hunian yang kurang sesuai dengan preferensinya. Ketidaksesuaian standar/norma mahasiswa terhadap kondisi indekos yang mempengaruhi kebutuhan fisik, psikis dan sosial individu  mengakibatkan housing deficit. Skripsi ini mecoba membahas housing adjustment seperti apa yang dilakukan pada indekos yang menurut individu defisit. Berdasarkan studi kasus, terdapat 3 respon yang dilakukan individu untuk meminimalisir housing deficit, yaitu residential adaptation, resident adaptation dan residential mobility. Respon ini dilakukan individu untuk mempertahankan kondisi hunian sesuai dengan standar/norma yang dimiliki.

Indekos is one of the housing alternative for college students who want to rent a room around campus proximity. Various facilities are provided to meet students needs and learning activities. Kukusan Teknik is one of the areas in Depok that accommodates the needs of housing. However, limited amount of student accomodation types in Kukusan Teknik caused them to choose indekos that do not suit their preferences. The discrepancy between students norms and actual housing condition which also affecting physical, psychological and social needs of the individuals led to housing deficit.

This thesis tries to identify what kind of housing adjustment that these individuals do to the student housing based on individual deficit. According to the case studied, there are 3 responses to minimize housing deficit, residential adaptation, resident adaptation and residential mobility. These responses are based on the needs of individuals on maintaining housing condition accordingly to their own standards/norms.
