| description | Employment and residential location are interconnected in urban areas. The residential
land use within a city and its surrounding areas are highly influenced by the
employment provision in the city. In order to understand the internal dynamics
between location of employment and housing, it is important to identify and analyze the
various factors which influence the residential location choice. Understanding of these
factors is important to determine the future physical form of the cities, transport policies
and other development policies. With the above background, this paper attempts to
study the residential location choice of Information Technology and Communication
(ICT) sector employees in Kuala Lumpur City. The study examines the various factors
and the extent to which these factors influence the residential location. The study
intends to provide an understanding of residential location factors of ICT sector
employees in Kuala Lumpur and a basis for further empirical research. Findings from
this are expected to assist in land use planning, housing and infrastructure policies
formulation and also to provide a general idea of future housing demand for the private
developers and other relevant agencies. |
