| Summary: | Housing has being identified globally as one of man's basic needs. Its role as a key element of
urbanisation also makes it significant in sustainable development. Acknowledging the role it
plqs in urbanisation the government of Malaysia has since being concerned about the
provision of houses for all strata. In view of these it has enzployed the services of private
developers to achieve this aim. Various standard policies have being put in place by
government in the construction of this building especially in the low cost houses. This is to
ensure that the residents' needs and objectives are being met in the delivery of these housing
projects. However most of these residents still tend to redesign these building even when new to
suit their needs and in cases where they can't carry out any redesigns live with it. This research
aims to look at the comfort of residents of this low cost houses, identzfy the relationship
befween these buildings and sustainability and also identify how well these are being
accommodated in the standards set by the government. This will be carried out by identzfying
the physical and social facilities being provided for and how it meets up with the concept of
sustainability |
