Abstract

This article contributes twofold to the international discussion on ‘gated communities as a living choice’. First, this study constructs a ‘living choice’ framework based on the physical, social, and economic characteristics of gated communities as established by the four key researchers. Next, the framework is applied to analyze the reasons for living within gated communities in Karachi, Pakistan. A cross-comparison of two gated communities employs post-occupancy household survey questionnaires from residents, and qualitative interviews with real estate developers, and community managers. The findings ascertain that security and lifestyle are the main values associated with living in gated communities in Karachi.

巴基斯坦卡拉奇封闭式社区的物质、社会和经济特征:Kaneez Fatima (CHS)和Naya Nazimabad的比较分析

这篇文章对“封闭式社区作为一种生活选择”的国际讨论有双重贡献。首先，本研究基于四位主要研究者建立的封闭社区的物理、社会和经济特征构建了一个“生活选择”框架。接下来，应用该框架分析巴基斯坦卡拉奇封闭式社区居住的原因。对两个封闭式社区的交叉比较采用了居民入住后的住户调查问卷，以及对房地产开发商和社区管理者的定性访谈。调查结果表明，安全和生活方式是卡拉奇封闭式社区生活的主要价值。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
