Source: Content analysis of housing development application (2006)
6.4.2.3 Category of Housing Development Although there is a clear policy on the provision of low-cost housing (section 5.5.2), the approval of housing development in the study area however has not fully enforced the policy. The content analysis shows that there are 22 applications (26.8%) which did not comply with the policy. In fact, there are 12 applications which failed to provide low-cost housing. On the other hand, the majority of housing developments (64.6%) have provided for the medium-cost housing in the range of 40.0 to 59.0 percent, while for the high-cost, 57.3 percent of housing developments have provided them at the rate of 1.0 to 19.0 percent (Table 6.23).
