ABSTRACT

In Australia, densification trends and affordability issues have led to increased numbers of people living in high-density multi-owned forms of housing. These housing forms are characterized by close living arrangements, necessitating co-operation with and consideration for neighbours. In the absence of cooperation and consideration, strained relations/disputes among tenants are common, having the potential to result in a range of negative consequences for individual health and wellbeing. While most current research has focused on large-scale developments, little attention has been given to issues arising from smaller-scale multi-owned housing. Through 26 in-depth interviews with residents in smaller multi-owned housing in Adelaide and Melbourne, and drawing on the concept of obtrusive intimacy, this article explores the issue of noise in small multi-owned housing and its impacts on privacy, neighbour relations, and health and wellbeing.

在澳大利亚，致密化趋势和负担能力问题导致居住在高密度多拥有形式住房中的人数增加。这些住房形式的特点是紧密的居住安排，需要与邻居合作并为邻居考虑。在缺乏合作和考虑的情况下，租户之间的紧张关系/纠纷很常见，有可能对个人健康和福祉产生一系列负面影响。虽然当前的大多数研究都集中在大规模开发上，但很少有人关注小型多产权住房引起的问题。通过对阿德莱德和墨尔本小型多产权房居民的 26 次深度访谈，并借鉴突兀的亲密关系概念，
