Abstract
"Low-Cost
Housing" assumes the challenge is to find innovative ways to reduce the
cost of building houses making it affordable for every family to own. This
paper addresses the problem through a social standpoint by first reviewing this
crisis by providing the complexities that leads to concentration of poor
families, and then provide a theoretical alternative - the Affordable Mosaic
Housing concept, a possible inventive solution. A methodology of testing this
concept is then proposed by mirroring closely to the methods and results of
University Putra Malaysia’s surveys on the perceptions and acceptance of the
new Honeycomb houses and apartments.
In
Malaysia the provision of low-cost houses is shared between the public and
private sector. In the 80’s the public sector housing is undertaken by
Government agencies like the State Economic Development Corporations.The
low-cost houses built by the private sector were for sale to the lower income
group. The idea was to democratize home ownership.
