1. INTRODUCTION
Surabaya City has a very strategic position on a regional and national scale, namely as a center for trade and services within
the scope of East Java, and as a center for the development of the eastern part of Indonesia [1]. The plan to develop high school or
universities area was established in the UP (Unit Pengembangan) area whose land use for high school education facilities included
UP I Rungkut, UP II Kertajaya, UP III Tambak Wedi, UP IV Dharmahusada, UP IX Ahmad Yani and UP X Wiyung. In this area
has developed public universities and private universities. This causes temporary residents with education aims. This resident
certainly needs a temporary residence.
Rental housing is a residence that is rented partially or entirely by the owner to students as consumers. The reason of living
conditions by renting is the existence of temporary living needs for a certain period in a location [2]. Definition of boarding
houses is a type of rental room that is rented (booking) for a certain period of time in accordance with the agreement of the room
owner and the agreed price. Generally, room bookings are made for a period of one year. However, there are also those who only
rent for one month, three months, and six months, so that the designation becomes annual, monthly, tri monthly, and mid-year
rents. Less rental than at that time students prefer at the inn [3].
Boarding houses have the same concept with the hotel which is both as temporary residence. According references [4] said that
the design of the hotel both from the physical spatial and social aspects can be a communication tool regarding the segmentation
of the intended customers. A house can have various functions and it is a heterogeneous product in a special market. This makes
measuring housing preferences a complex problem. However, this is also very important because housing is one of the main
necessities of life. This is the way that people's preferences are included in the maintenance, planning and development of real
estate and the built environment which ultimately provides the greatest benefits for those who take refuge in their homes [5].

The increasing number of boarding houses in Surabaya, the more variety of facilities and prices offered. Ranging from facilities
to just rooms and beds to complete facilities such as air conditioning, cabinets, bathrooms to free wifi. Boarding house investment
offers passive income that is not small, especially the boarding house with middle to upper segmentation. But the costs involved in
building a boarding house are very large, so it is necessary to know what is the preference of prospective customer in determining
the decision to choose a boarding house
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Preferences Theory
Based on Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia [6], preference is privilege, prioritization and can also mean the preferred one.
Preference has a close relationship with respondents or subjects, where in this study used middle up class student subjects.
According references [7] provides an ideal description of individual preferences for alternative consumption items in two laws
(revealed preferences), namely axioms of comparison and axioms of transitivity. The axiom of comparison is that every two
different items (such as items A and B) can be compared to preferences by individuals. Each comparison definitely leads to one of
the following three things:
a. item A is preferred to item B;
b. item B is preferred to item A; or
c. goods A and B are the same.
Whereas the axiom of transitivity is when there are three items, namely A, B, and C. If item A is preferred from item B and item
B is preferred to item C, then item A is preferred to item C. Both of these axioms will be in the form of proportions when
combined. sorting preferences ie all existing items are consistently sorted in the order of preference by a person, this ordering is
called the preference function. Based on [8] there are three basic assumptions in consumer preferences, namely:
a. consumers can rank a complete order of preferences for all goods on the market. The preference sequence shows the
level of relative pleasure regardless of the price of the item;
b. preference is transitivity. This assumption allows people to have rational and consistent preferences; and
c. consumers will prefer goods in large quantities rather than fewer items.
Simply explained by references [9] defining preferences is liked, choice or something more liked by consumers. Research on
consumer preferences for a product has been done before, in several different studies and companies. This indicates that consumer
preference is an important thing in marketing because it is closely related to the success of the company to achieve its objectives,
namely purchasing decisions made by consumers on the basis of consumer preferences.

The middle up class referred to in this study are class III to I (based on Table 1.1), namely the population class with per capita
expenditure per day of more than $ 4 or Rp. 58,000.00 (with a rate of $ 1.00 = Rp. 14,500.00). According references [11], human
needs level for houses according to their level of income namely physiological needs (shelter, rest, etc.), security (storing goods),
social needs, self-esteem needs, self-actualization needs and aesthetics (beauty).

3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This study uses an explanatory paradigm, namely research that looks at the relationships between factors [19] and is a
quantitative study in which the data collected will be analyzed quantitatively [20]. Quantitative approaches are used in
determining influential factors and determining preferences. The survey was conducted with respondents from 100 middle up
class students. Data was obtained by frequency statistical analysis. Preference formulation is done by selecting respondents on
alternative variables for choosing boarding houses.
4. RESULT
4.1 Factors that Influence the Boarding Houses Choosing
In identifying the factors that influence the boarding houses choosing, a questionnaire survey was conducted to middle up class
student respondents with 46 male and 54 female from several universities such as Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Institut Teknologi
Sepuluh Nopember, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional, Universitas Airlangga and others. Factors of choosing boarding houses
as a result of literature review include facilities, prices, references, location, service, security, reputation, environment and
advertisement. In the questionnaire, a linkert scale of 1 to 6. was used. The number 1 shows that it is very ineffective and 6 shows
very influential. From the surveys that have been conducted and processed with SPSS software, the average value (mean) is
obtained from each factor. The average value of a factor sorted from the largest to the smallest is the security factor (4.9800), the
price factor (4.7900), location factor (4.7100), facility factor (4.6900), environmental factor (4,5300), reputation factors (4.3500),
reference factors (4,0400), service factors (3.8900) and advertising factors (2,2900). The average value of influential factors can
be seen at Figure 1.2.
Influence Determining Score
From the linkert scale used, the number three (3) is determined as the determining score for influence. The score is less than 3
(<3) so it has no effect and a score of more than 3 (> 3) is influential. Based on the average value of the 9 factors resulting from
the literature review, it becomes 8 factors that influence the selection of boarding houses. Ad factors are factors that have no
effect. The influential factors are safety, price, location, facilities, environment, reputation, reference, and service factors.

5. CONCLUSION
Some boarding house preferences can be used in the design of boarding house development. Preferences related to the design of
boarding house development are factors of safety, location, facilities, environment and service. From the security factor can be
developed boarding houses equipped with CCTV and have a low and tenuous fence. From the location factor, boarding houses are
developed at locations less than 1 km from the campus area and have a front road between 3-5 meters wide where 2 cars can pass
intersections. From the facilities factor, the house developed must have a janitor every day; silent dormitory acoustic conditions
that support learning and resting activities; have a limited car park so some tenants can park their cars; boarding house with AC
and TV electronic facilities; boarding houses are also equipped with in-room bathrooms; equipment in the form of mattresses,
study tables, chairs, cabinets, wifii; communal facilities in the form of a living room and kitchen; the theme of minimalist design
and room size 3x4 m (12 m2). Regarding environmental factors, boarding houses developed are in formal residential areas.
Regarding the service factor, a boarding house without an owner / guard who also lives in a boarding house; boarding houses are
equipped with water pumps and separate electricity systems per room.
