| Summary: | The impetus for the study is the growing awareness of the deterioration
of livability, particularly in urban environments due to the pressure of
imbalance development pattern. An investigation into the views of
industry and academia revealed there is a considerable gap in
determining the perimeter that predicting the livability of affordable
housing scheme in Malaysia. This paper offers the qualitative
exploration of the Malaysian affordable housing livability dimensions.
The purpose of this case study design study is to explore participant’s
views consisting government bodies, public and private universities,
and non-governmental organizations with the intent of using this
information to develop the conceptual framework of affordable
housing livability. This was accomplished by collecting the focus
group data to provide a full picture of the extent of coverage of
affordable housing livability dimensions. Findings from this qualitative
phase will be used to test the dimensions with the sample of affordable
housings’ residents. The study reveals that the affordable housing
livability is conceptualized as a composite of seven dimensions.
Further validation for the derivation of affordable housing livability
construct validity is needed to provide adequate exploration. This study
contributes to the existing body of knowledge in livability studies in
terms of dimension construct. Conclusively, the findings can help
researchers, planners, policy makers and others in the formulation of
housing criteria guidelines for the introducing of livable housing as
part of the effort to incorporate these features into any new housing
projects, to improve the quality of life of in urban environments. |
