Abstract

This study focuses on the evolving dynamics of home renovation in Dubai, particularly in The Springs community. It explores the transition from new constructions to renovations in the construction sector, motivated by economic, environmental, and market factors. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was utilized to assess user preferences in renovations. A survey conducted among residents of The Springs gauged renovation priorities, examining cost, performance, design, and planning aspects. Results indicated cost as a significant factor in renovation decisions. Still, combined elements of building performance (13.49% for Building Envelope Performance and 15.21% for MEP Performance), planning (11.27% for Space Optimization), and design (5.16% for Interior Design) also proved crucial. The study found a strong preference for optimizing space (48.8% importance in architectural planning) and interior design (66.2% importance in design aspects). Economic factors like construction cost and building value enhancement were also highlighted, with construction cost accounting for 32.9% and an increase in building value for 31.7% in cost considerations. The findings emphasize the need for a user-centric approach in renovations, integrating economic viability with performance, planning, and design enhancements. The study suggests architects and developers should consider these diverse user preferences and sustainable practices in renovation planning. The research advocates for comprehensive renovation strategies that balance economic, functional, and aesthetic aspects. The insights from this study are pertinent for guiding future renovation strategies in Dubai, ensuring renovations meet user needs and market trends.

迪拜不断变化的房屋翻新动态：泉水社区案例研究

本研究的重点是迪拜不断变化的住宅翻新动态，尤其是在 The Springs 社区。它探讨了在经济、环境和市场因素的推动下，建筑行业从新建到翻新的转变。研究采用层次分析法（AHP）评估用户对翻新的偏好。在斯普林斯居民中开展的一项调查对翻新的优先级进行了评估，考察了成本、性能、设计和规划等方面。结果表明，成本是影响翻新决策的重要因素。然而，建筑性能（13.49% 用于建筑围护结构性能，15.21% 用于机电工程性能）、规划（11.27% 用于空间优化）和设计（5.16% 用于室内设计）等综合因素也被证明是至关重要的。研究发现，优化空间（建筑规划的重要性占 48.8%）和室内设计（设计的重要性占 66.2%）更受青睐。建筑成本和提高建筑价值等经济因素也受到重视，其中建筑成本占 32.9%，提高建筑价值占 31.7%。研究结果表明，在翻新过程中需要以用户为中心，将经济可行性与性能、规划和设计提升结合起来。研究建议建筑师和开发商在翻新规划中应考虑这些不同用户的偏好和可持续发展的做法。研究主张采取兼顾经济性、功能性和美观性的综合翻新战略。这项研究的见解对于指导迪拜未来的翻新战略、确保翻新满足用户需求和市场趋势具有现实意义。
