| Summary: | The pressing issue of housing scarcity, particularly for those with limited incomes, remains a critical concern in developing countries, including Vietnam. As populations
surge, especially in major cities serving as economic hubs, and living costs skyrocket, affordable housing becomes increasingly elusive for low-income individuals. Social
housing emerges as a crucial tool for nations, designed to support their disadvantaged citizens, thereby stabilizing demographics, maintaining social order, and fostering
economic growth. While social housing projects have been implemented in various regions, their effectiveness in addressing social welfare concerns remains questionable. Numerous areas are left vacant, failing to meet the populace's demands. Moreover, social housing, being a governmental policy tool, is significantly influenced
by national policies and specific country characteristics. Understanding the impact of various factors on the quality of social housing projects aids experts and policymakers
in formulating precise development policies, enhancing the efficiency of social housing projects. Hence, this study aims to explore and provide empirical evidence on how investment costs, customer-oriented pricing, and building codes influence project management and, subsequently, the quality of social housing projects in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, regulated by government policies. Surveying 416 respondents and employing Smart-PLS3 software, the results indicate that investment costs, customer-
oriented pricing, and building codes indeed affect project management and,consequently, the quality of social housing projects in the city. Furthermore, the findings reveal the previously unexplored mediating role of project management in the research model. Consequently, the thesis proposes relevant recommendations, forging a crucial connection between theoretical insights and practical policy implications. |
