Analyzing Satisfaction with Mandatory Open Spaces available to Residents of DHA, Lahore
Abstract
Abstract Views: 70
Housing is an essential requirement for all human beings. Therefore, the government has established certain laws and regulations for housing acquisitions. Human needs are just as vital as the presence of amenities when it comes to housing. In addition to serving as a place for living and daily activities, housing plays a crucial role in facilitating social interactions and engaging in social activities among people.. To fulfill human needs, open spaces have been rendered mandatory by the government. The underlying intention of the current study was to determine citizens’ satisfaction regarding the open spaces for the current house planning patterns in DHA, Lahore. The current research drew upon the data gathered from a comprehensive questionnaire that encompassed various queries aimed at assessing user satisfaction. Additionally, route analysis was conducted, considering both practical and social factors, including external variables, to predict the community's perception of open spaces and their corresponding satisfaction levels. Factors, such as a sense of privacy, compliance, and security emerged as the most significant influences on citizens’ satisfaction. Moreover, based on the findings, citizens expressed the need for a review of the residential building regulation by-laws, emphasizing the importance of the above factors.
