Abstract: (154 Views) |
In this study, with the aim of presenting a comprehensive framework for housing policy, a definition of housing was first proposed and its key dimensions identified through a literature review and expert interviews. Then, using a mixed qualitative–quantitative approach, subdimensions and operational indicators for each dimension were derived. With the aid of library research and interviews with housing specialists—and in order to develop appropriate planning and policy to meet desirable housing needs—an assessment of societal needs was conducted, after which priorities and shortages in the housing sector were determined with a focus on two internal factors (comfort and tranquility) and an external factor (dwelling).
As a result, nine dimensions related to housing provision were identified. In the next stage, following interviews with housing experts, a list of housing subdimensions was compiled and organized; this list can be used to better understand an individual user’s needs for achieving desirable housing tailored to those needs and, ultimately, to address them through appropriate planning and policy.
The results indicate that housing dimensions can be divided into two domains: internal (identity, built form, safety–security, comfort–quality) and environmental (infrastructure, economy, culture–society, environment, regulations).
For each of these dimensions, a set of indicators was defined to enable the measurement and evaluation of policies. This framework can help decision-makers and urban planners improve housing policies in a targeted, evidence-based manner.
