  • Abstract:

    A model is proposed for measuring the effectiveness of certain public housing schemes in Yemen. The suggested model assumes the measurement of housing effectiveness both subjectively, in terms of occupant satisfaction with the housing environment; and objectively, in terms of the adequacy of level of the dwelling and its environment. It is hoped that such a model will help in testing different types of public housing provisions in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen, and assist in identifying the most effective and useful type. This paper introduces the model and its development process and the outcome of its testing programme will be reported later. It is important to note that the research model has been developed to fit the conditions of Sana’a/Yemen only and its application in a different set of conditions would need further alteration and adjustment.
