Analysis on Level of Safety Performance and Occupants' Satisfaction in Low Cost Housing

Abstract

The general building conditions in low-cost housing are part of human quality indicators.  However, there are rising issues in the safety performance of the housing since the occupants are inclined to perceive safety hazards. Therefore, this paper explores the concept of Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) as a safety performance tool. This research conducted a survey on safety performance and occupants' satisfaction in 24 numbers of low-cost housing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The correlation result shows that safety performance has a significant relationship with occupants' satisfaction. The findings supported the application of POE as a tool for safety performance.
