Tujuan penelitian ini ialah mengidentifikasi model permukiman di kawasan tepian sungai, kasus kawasan permukiman tepian Sungai Kahayan, Kota Palangkaraya. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian ekplorasi kualitatif lapangan (a qualitative exploratory research) berdasarkan ekplorasi data lapangan (field observation) nilai historis kawasan melalui survei, wawancara dan identifikasi potensi kawasan. Hasil penelitian dijabarkan dalam model integrasi permukiman tepian sungai meliputi aspek fisik antara lain : (a) model permukiman; (b) model dermaga; (c) model titian; dan (d) model jembatan. Sedangkan aspek non fisik : (a) ekonomi; dan (b) sosial-budaya dan (c) aktivitas pendukung sepanjang tepian Sungai Kahayan. Hasil penelitian ialah teridentifikasi model permukiman tepian sungai yang relevan yang akan digunakan sebagai pengkayaan model permukiman khususnya di kawasan-kawasan tepian sungai Indonesia di masa mendatang.

River have been not priority for infrastructure and river is a backward. River is facing serious problems such as physical and environmental problem. River are still occupy for lower income people as a reason house can built by themselves and close to work location with a location in green belt area. Thispaper try to arguehow is a problem in  river transportation. The location of this research is Kahayan River, Palangkaraya City.
