Abstract

Social sustainability plays an important role in improving life quality as it can foster good relations between community members. However, this phenomenon, the main goal of which is to enhance residents’ wellbeing, has not been given enough consideration in the housing sector. A study was undertaken to assess social sustainability in public housing projects with different spatial organisation in Jordan. This was achieved through an exploratory mixed-method approach that utilised four case studies of public housing projects. Spatial analysis was done for each research setting based on design criteria extracted from sustainability principles, including housing type and affordability, compact development, mixed land use, public spaces, schools, access to quality transit, and walkability. A total of 474 responses were collected from residents of selected case studies to try to understand social sustainability in these residential neighbourhoods. Social sustainability was identified through six indicators: social equity, social capital, collective group and network, community stability, pride and sense of place, and safety and security. The results showed that spatial organisation and design criteria have a major or significant effect on social sustainability. They also indicated that other variables affect social sustainability, including length of residency, ownership and proper relationship between housing unit space and family size.
调查公共住房的社会可持续性:约旦项目案例研究
社会可持续性在提高生活质量方面发挥着重要作用,因为它可以促进社区成员之间的良好关系。然而,这种主要目的是提高居民福祉的现象,在住房部门没有得到足够的考虑。进行了一项研究,以评估约旦不同空间组织的公共住房项目的社会可持续性。这是通过一种探索性的混合方法来实现的,该方法利用了四个公共住房项目的案例研究。根据可持续性原则提取的设计标准,对每个研究环境进行了空间分析,包括住房类型和可负担性、紧凑型开发、混合土地使用、公共空间、学校、高质量交通和可步行性。为了了解这些居民区的社会可持续性,我们从选定的案例研究的居民中收集了474份回复。社会可持续性通过社会公平、社会资本、集体团体和网络、社区稳定、自豪感和地方感、安全和保障等6个指标来确定。结果表明,空间组织和设计标准对社会可持续性有重大或显著的影响。他们还指出影响社会可持续性的其他变量,包括居住时间、所有权以及住房单位空间与家庭规模之间的适当关系。
