Enhancing sustainable social housing development in Vietnam for industrial park workers from the beneficiary perspective

Tóm tắt

The development of social housing (SH) in Vietnam, in general, and SH for industrial park workers (IPW), in particular, remains unsustainable. This article examines the factors influencing the decision to buy or rent a house for IPW, serving as a basis for identifying solutions to the sustainable development of SH for IPW from the beneficiaries' perspective. The survey results of 152 IPW show that: “F1. Housing Price”; “F2. Financial situation”; “F12. Surrounding environment: Landscape, trees, air quality....”; “F20. Quality of customer care service from the investor: Support before and after purchase/rental” and “F9. Neighbourhood public utilities: schools, hospitals, markets,...” are the five factors that most strongly influence workers' decisions to buy/rent an accommodation. After that, the study proposes 5 groups of solutions on low-cost accommodation, finance, infrastructure, legality and communication toward more sustainable development in future of SH for IPW from the beneficiary perspective.
