Download or read book Housing Policy, Wellbeing and Social Development in Asia written by Rebecca Lai Har Chiu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how housing policy changes in Asia since the late 1990s have impacted on housing affordability, security, livability, culture and social development. Using case study examples from countries/cities including China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, the contributors contextualize housing policy development in terms of both global and local socio-economic and political changes. They then investigate how policy changes have shaped and re-shaped the housing wellbeing of the local people and the social development within these places, which they argue should constitute the core purpose of housing policy. This book will open up a new dimension for understanding housing and social development in Asia and a new conceptual perspective with which to examine housing which, by nature, is culture-sensitive and people-oriented. It will be of interest to students, scholars and professionals in the areas of housing studies, urban and social development and the public and social policy of Asia.

Book Synopsis Housing, Home Ownership and Social Change in Hong Kong by : James Lee
Download or read book Housing, Home Ownership and Social Change in Hong Kong written by James Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume examines the issue that, in the last two decades, the housing system in Hong Kong has witnessed a slow but consistent transition from a tenure dominated by public rental housing to one dominated by private home ownership. This book seeks to explain the unique social organization of home ownership in contemporary Hong Kong. Specifically, the book deals with the genesis of home ownership from three areas: housing histories, family culture and capital gains from home transactions. It is agreed that extreme deprivations in housing conditions in early lives, a strong family culture of mutual help as well as unprecedented capital gains, all contribute towards explaining the complex nature of home ownership growth. In conclusion the book suggests that with China regaining sovereignty after July 1997, the social organization of home ownership will be further complicated by more internal migrations from other parts of China, making housing problems even more acute.

Abstract: Since the population in Hong Kong is expected to continue with an ageing trend, the elderly housing becomes an increasing concern of the society. Population aging, the sharp increase of life expectancy and the elderly dependency ratio, inadequate supply of elderly housing and the shortage of proper facilities and services for the elderly residents are the critical issues on the public housing for the elderly in Hong Kong. Based on the above situation, it is a critical time to draw the attention to the elderly housing policy on the needs of the elderly to evaluate the effectiveness of the current public housing policy for the elderly and recommends changes to the policy for improving elderly housing provision. The aging theories of the social gerontology are applied in relation to the housing need for the elderly and this research mainly focuses on the current public housing policy and the related housing programs provided by Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA) and Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) in terms of the flat design, community planning and facilities and so on. The importance of the formal support and the informal support to the elderly are also discussed in this research. Accordingly, the research is divided into several parts Firstly, the goal and objectives are briefly identified and studied. Secondly, the scope of study is listed out in order to provide a general outline for the dissertation. After that, the methodology and organization of study are illustrated. The primary data and the secondary data are collected. In order to have an in-depth understanding on the key issues of the public housing policy for the elderly and the needs of the elderly residents, both the quantitative and the qualitative research methods are used for this research. In this research, the result from the face to face questionnaire surveys with the elderly residents in Sham Shui Po District and the interview with the District Councilor Member of the same district shows that there are rooms for HKHA's improvement of elderly housing policies. In addition, it indicates that the formal support is able to meet the environmental and psychological need of the elderly. However, the elderly mainly rely on the informal support i.e. the family and friends to meet their psychological need. Therefore, the formal support and informal support should be integrated in the housing policy for the elderly to achieve the concepts of "Ageing in place" and "Healthy Aging."

It is also one of the pressing social issues that the government has to face with urgently and tactfully. Given by the exorbitant high property prices and landlords increase their properties rent in recent years, the current problem in Hong Kong is a great deal number of people, especially the young generation, cannot afford to buy home or even rent apartment in private property market. Thinking despairingly that home-owning is an unrealistic dream, most people applied for Public Rental Housing as their last resort to be housed. This sort of thinking is somewhat shown by the growing number of applicants in Waiting List for public rental housing flats. The growing number of applicants, by and large, indicating the demand of subsidized housing has never been subsided and also meant applicants need to wait much longer for allocation. Unfortunately, supply of flats has persistently fallen short of demand. There has been no adequate increase in subsidized flats'' supply in the past few years. The number of completed flats in 2012 is really not comparable with the number of applicants in the queue for public housing. Even, by adding the 15,000 new units each year as committed by the chief executive Mr. CY LEUNG, the public housing stock still cannot effectively satisfy the overwhelming demand of public rental housing. In view of the lack of supply of new flats, there has been demanded that the Government should act creatively to provide more flats to ensure quick allocation. Under this circumstance, the better utilization of existing PRH stock is becoming more essential and important. It is not hard to find from various sources that there are already many studies in evaluating the efficacy of the so called "well-off tenants policies," such as the Housing Subsidy Policy, while little studies touch on the issue of under-occupation situation of public flats -an rather unfair phenomenon that the average living density of a household is more than allowed. Under-occupation policy is the policy implemented by the Housing Authority for maximizing the rational utilization of public housing resources so that larger subsidized flats can be recovered and reallocated to those in genuine needs and reducing unnecessary wastage of precious housing resources. In view of this, the dissertation is going to evaluate the effectiveness of the policy on under-occupation implemented by Housing Authority. In order to response the criticism on the equity and fairness towards the under-occupation issue, the dissertation is also written with an aim to evaluate these aspects and explores with objective assessment by adopting qualitative research methods, such as surveys and questionnaires. Questionnaires will be dispatched to residents in various housing estates to collect necessary information and opinions for analysis the equity and effectiveness of the policy. Hypothetical analysis and literature reviews will also be conducted through comparing different related official publications and journals. This dissertation is going to evaluate, based on empirical study and literature review, the implication and effectiveness of the policy adopted by Housing Authority to tackle on the problem of under-occupation of public rental housing flats and, with great ambiti

Download or read book Hong Kong Land for Hong Kong People written by Yue Chim Richard Wong and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong is one of the world’s most densely populated cities. Land supply, property values, and housing provision are inextricably linked with the city’s economic growth and questions of economic equality. In Hong Kong Land for Hong Kong People, Yue Chim Richard Wong traces the history of Hong Kong’s postwar housing policy. He then discusses current housing problems and their solutions, drawing on examples from around the world. Wong argues that housing policy in Hong Kong, with its multiple, often incompatible objectives, and its focus on supply over demand, can no longer satisfy the needs of a diverse and dynamic population. He recommends three simple low-cost policies to promote homeownership and social mobility: sell public rental housing units to the sitting tenants; make subsidized homes more affordable; and reform the public housing program along lines adopted in Singapore, where government-built housing may be resold or leased in a free market. This is the second of Richard Wong’s collections of articles on society and economy in Hong Kong. The first, Diversity and Occasional Anarchy, published by Hong Kong University Press in 2013, examines the growing contradictions in Hong Kong’s economy predicament in historical context.
