ASSESSMENT OF RESIDENTIAL SATISFACTION IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS: A LAHORE PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Investigating residential satisfaction in apartment buildings was the goal of this project. It includes research of the variables affecting a sample of individuals' residential satisfaction in a selected case study area that is Labor colony, Dhalla flats and Askari 11 apartments in Lahore. By concentrating on factors like the housing system, safety and security, privacy, social contact and relationships and the physical characteristics of construction materials, the context is supplied. Contrary to popular belief, the methodological rationale of the thesis is that it is necessary to take into account both the apartment building and environment to accurately estimate resident satisfaction. The main component of the research technique is the distribution of a survey questionnaire to 250 participants who were randomly chosen from three selected areas (apartments). There were inquiries about the apartment, the structure, and the surroundings. The results showed widespread satisfaction. Reliability analysis was performed to find out the factors responsible for resident satisfaction. Whereas, chi-square test was used to compare the opinion of residents in different areas of apartments buildings in Lahore. However, the scientific study should not stop at this level of conclusion and should instead focus more on the negative facts that point out the design issues that planners and architects should concentrate on to create places and the built environment that will satisfy people.
