Urban poverty is a complex phenomenon that extends beyond income deprivation to include inequalities in education, health, housing, and access to infrastructure. This study examines the face of urban poverty in Kauman, Malang City—an area located in the city center yet designated as a slum in 73% of its territory. Using the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) based on the Alkire–Foster framework, this research analyzes deprivation across three key dimensions: education, health, and standard of living. The findings reveal that the education dimension contributes most significantly to multidimensional poverty, followed by living standards, while the health dimension remains relatively stable. Spatial analysis indicates that deprivation is not uniformly distributed; high levels of poverty are concentrated in specific neighborhood units (RWs), especially RW 03 and RW 02. The results highlight the limitations of income-based poverty measurement and emphasize the importance of multidimensional approaches to understanding urban deprivation. The study concludes that reducing poverty in Kauman requires integrated strategies focusing on improving educational access, infrastructure quality, and basic urban services through community-based and participatory interventions aligned with national policy frameworks.
