| Summary: | The quality of housing is a crucial determinant of health and well being, and it is essential to ensure
that everyone has access to safe, decent and affordable housing. Therefore, a cross-sectional survey
was conducted to examine the relationship between the dimensions of residential well being and
residents satisfaction of multi-storey affordable housing in Kuching Sarawak. The data were
collected through questionnaire surveys on 106 samples and further analyzed using descriptive
analysis through the SPSS V.26 software and PLS-SEM Path Analysis through the SmartPLS
V.3.2.2. The quantitative findings have provided support for the research model through the
measurement of reliability and validity. This study has found that all of the 8 constructs, namely
affordability, size of residence, public facilities, residential management, neighbourhood
characteristics, housing services, social environment and residents satisfaction of multi-storey
affordable housing were valid measures for their respective construct based on the measure
estimates and statistical significance. Furthermore, this study recognised affordability, size of
residence, public facilities and residential management to be significant dimensions in contributing
towards residents satisfaction of multi-storey affordable housing in Kuching. The findings of this
study revealed that the identification of residential well being and residents satisfaction dimensions
will help developers and urban planners to better understand the criteria for improved quality of
housing for Sarawakians. Therefore, it is proven that housing needs and residential well being must
be considered in order to improve the overall well being and quality of life of the individuals of
the target group, specifically those of middle and low-income groups who more commonly reside
in affordable housing. |
