Abstract

Construction of affordable housing in Malaysia has been one of the national objectives set by its government, ensuring low-income families have access to adequate housing. This paper discusses the perceptions and the needs of residents for the development of single-family housing units for low-income families in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia based on the outcomes from participatory design activities in the city. As part of these activities, a series of six focus groups and participatory design workshops were conducted in Kuala Lumpur. The findings from these interactive sessions are to be used in the development of proposals for new housing in the city built for low-income families, advocating for consideration of the views of the residents in the design process.

摘要

马来西亚经济适用房的建设一直是政府制定的国家目标之一，确保低收入家庭能够获得足够的住房。本文根据马来西亚吉隆坡的参与式设计活动的结果，讨论了居民对为低收入家庭开发单户住宅的看法和需求。作为这些活动的一部分，在吉隆坡举办了一系列六个焦点小组和参与式设计研讨会。这些互动会议的结果将用于制定该市为低收入家庭建造新住房的提案，倡导在设计过程中考虑居民的意见。
