more sophisticated because of the technological changes and changes of living style.
Moreover, changes in life style of the citizens, family size and structure mainly effect the
consideration of today’s Architectural Planning. Housing estate development is therefore
more essential and reasonable to create quality living standard and pleasant environment.
Many countries accept that housing estates can be able to provide not only better security,
more pleasant and healthful environment and quality living standard but also quality of life
issues. Housing estates have been remarkably redeveloped in Yangon City after 1993 and it
has been improving in the architectural design of the estates and amenities of the community.
Most estates can provide some amenities and some estates have been built without
considering to neighborhood condition. It is, therefore, required to carry out a detailed
analysis in housing estate planning. Physical planning of the site is analyzed by layout plan
and site densities. Communities facilities provided are found by analysis on the existing
situation of residence inhabitants, family size and structure of housing estates. Finally, high
quality housing estate is defined by correlation between physical planning and communities’
facilities. The existing situation of residence inhabitants are known by questionnaires survey
on residents. The main focus of this research has been to analyze the existing housing
estates condition in Yangon and to recommend the factors for future housing estates planning
to meet the users’ requirements and to relevant their environment. |
