In response to the global challenge of low-income housing provision, research on understanding the housing provision mechanisms has gained a reputation among emerging scholars and practitioners in architecture, urban development, housing, and public policy. An effective provision system entails the institutions and stakeholders comprehending their interrelations within the housing market context, lacking conceptual clarity. Challenging roles of institutions and stakeholders within the domain of housing provision necessitates the groundwork to study the contextual positions and relations of stakeholders as an analogous component and the analysis of institutional frameworks. The paper provides the theoretical foundations within the metaphorical bases for integrating the respective analytical approaches, i.e., institutional analysis (IA) and stakeholder analysis (SA), drawing on critical theoretical constructs. By analytical comparison of empirical evidence of IA and SA in housing research against the prompting keywords, critical reflections offer the conceptual foundation of new research agenda through IA-SA integrated approach. The study thereby advances the theoretical understanding between the regulatory level (institutions) and engagement level (stakeholders). It proposes a multi-level analysis process that complements the IA-SA integration for examining the provision systems in the context of low-income housing.

为应对低收入住房供应的全球挑战，关于住房供应机制的研究在建筑、城市发展、住房和公共政策领域的新兴学者和实践者中享有盛誉。一个有效的供应系统需要机构和利益相关者理解他们在住房市场背景下的相互关系，但缺乏概念清晰度。机构和利益相关者在住房供应领域的挑战性角色需要基础研究作为类似组成部分的利益相关者的背景立场和关系以及制度框架的分析。本文为整合各自的分析方法提供了隐喻基础内的理论基础，即，制度分析 (IA) 和利益相关者分析 (SA)，借鉴关键理论结构。通过对住房研究中 IA 和 SA 的经验证据与提示关键词的分析比较，批判性反思通过 IA-SA 综合方法为新研究议程提供了概念基础。因此，该研究推进了监管层面（机构）和参与层面（利益相关者）之间的理论理解。它提出了一个多层次的分析过程，以补充 IA-SA 整合，以检查低收入住房背景下的供应系统。批判性反思通过 IA-SA 综合方法为新研究议程提供了概念基础。因此，该研究推进了监管层面（机构）和参与层面（利益相关者）之间的理论理解。它提出了一个多层次的分析过程，以补充 IA-SA 整合，以检查低收入住房背景下的供应系统。批判性反思通过 IA-SA 综合方法为新研究议程提供了概念基础。因此，该研究推进了监管层面（机构）和参与层面（利益相关者）之间的理论理解。它提出了一个多层次的分析过程，以补充 IA-SA 整合，以检查低收入住房背景下的供应系统。
