Urban renewal can be seen in three spheres: as a process, as a function and as a program. Urban renewal process is defined as the built area re-development process to improve city’s productivity, one of them is urban housing renewal. Sustainable urban housing renewal has a great opportunity to support economic development, environmental management and service, social and life equality. The construction of flats in the framework of urban housing renewal have the aim to improve the vitality and quality of the housing environment. Flats are urban housing renewal by means of redevelopment, which is rebuilding the city area by doing the demolition of some or entire urban areas that can not be maintained anymore. But in facts, there are many flats building that suffered from environment degradation and needs to be evaluated. Therefore, this research aims to give post occupation evaluation in the context of social dimension. The study case are coastal area flats in Surabaya and Semarang that were built with urban renewal program. This POE (Post Occupational Evaluation) will be necessary to conduct periodic evaluation of flat’s residents occupancy in the context of urban renewal that needs to be done.
