Currently, in urban dwelling planning, the comfort and the health of the human living is set with parameters of the design standard. The human's dimension as the residents has not been considered to play actively in realizing the health of self and their residence. Meanwhile, the density and limitation of urban dwelling is an issue that causes the diffculty in designing the comfort and the health adequately. The purpose of this study was to reveal that the human dimension can play a role in the health of their home by identifying the indoor air quality. The method was quantitative and used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Human dimension in urban dwelling involved the dimension of residents and managers and was infuenced by their knowledge. The residents’ dimensions that assessed were the physical comfort, psychic comfort, potentially pollutant activity, and health participation.

The recommendation of this study is the need to include a human participation program in the policy of applicating the health in an urban dwelling.
