As a core element of China’s housing security system, public rental housing (PRH) has gradually become an effective means of providing low- and moderately low-income groups with viable housing options and is regarded as the embodiment of housing justice values under the Chinese socialist system. Affordability for the groups covered by this system is crucial to its sustainable positive role. By modifying the housing and transportation affordability index (H&TAI) equation proposed by the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) and Center for Transit-Oriented Development (CTOD), United States, this paper establishes a novel rental and transportation affordability index (R&TAI), introduces transportation-time-cost and comprehensive-transportation-cost concepts and obtains transportation-time-cost data through accessibility analysis, which are incorporated into calculations of comprehensive transportation cost with the ArcGIS spatial analysis software. Based on the ratio of the combined cost of rental housing and transportation to household residual income (RI), this paper studies and measures the combined affordability for low- and moderately low-income residents under the PRH system. The burden of high combined rental and transportation costs not only greatly reduces residents’ ability to cope but also limits sustainable PRH system development, exacerbating the gaps between social strata. This study and its conclusions provide a reference for the Chinese government for reforming the macro-housing system and practically regulating the housing market while providing residents with options to reduce their comprehensive burden and improve their quality of life.

“…In detail, inequitable allocation unit of PH, illegally subletting to third parties, and low tenancy turnover rate (Bo, 2012;Li et al, 2017;Xu & Luo, 2021;Zeng et al, 2017). Further, financial management issues that arise in PH include lack of operation and maintenance funding (Tu, 2017), insufficient funds generated by rental income to cover operating and capital expenses (Kushendar et al, 2021;Tu, 2017), and tenants who under economically disadvantaged group tend to default their rent payments and management fee (Luo et al, 2020). On top of that, social issues in PH include vandalism and high crime rates (Xu & Luo, 2021).…”

Public Housing (PH) in Malaysia is commonly called for improvement, as property management issues continue to arise. To address these issues, performance measurement plays an important role in monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness of the operation in PH. However, limited performance measurement studies in PH provide an overview of what property management operations are to be measured. Hence, this paper aims to examine the performance measurement practices adopted in public housing. From here, six overarching themes, particularly management in tenancy, maintenance, building, social, financial, and administrative are identified. These six main themes are further divided into nineteen subthemes. Further, an interview is conducted with PH zone managers from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to examine the current management operation and performance measurement practices in PH Malaysia. This paper provides insightful information on the trend, indicators, and operations in the performance measurement practices in PH.

“…Guo et al [6] proposed a two-stage evolutionary high dimensional multi-objective optimization algorithm and designed a novel framework and process of public policy for the rental housing market. Luo [7] took China's public rental housing (PRH) as the research object and found that the wellintended housing policy mainly proposed three measures: government procurement, new financial arrangements and guided service contents. Furthermore, informed by ideas of social constructionism, which emphasises the politics of housing, McKee et al [8] emphasized the need for greater geographical sensitivity through an analysis of policy narratives.…”

With the rapid development of China’s economy and the acceleration of urbanization, the country’s housing security system is constantly improving. To address the housing difficulties experienced by low- and middle-income populations, China has formulated the housing provident fund system and the affordable housing system. However, especially for the floating population, housing and medical security have not resulted in an equalization of services. We thus analyze data from Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS) to describe the influence of housing security on the family medical economic risk of the floating population. According to the results, the payment of housing provident fund can effectively reduce the incidence of catastrophic health expenditures. In contrast, per capita financial expenditure on affordable housing will significantly increase family medical economic risk. Heterogeneity tests based on the household register and income levels show that the impacts of housing security vary across populations. In addition, the influence mechanism analysis shows that the impact is mediated through housing mortgage loans. Based on the conclusions drawn, three policy recommendations of optimizing the guarantee function of the housing provident fund system, expanding the coverage of affordable housing policy, and promoting the coordinated development of housing and medical security are proposed. This research not only has theoretical and practical significance for the establishment of the security system for the floating population in China but also provides an effective reference for the development of housing and medical security systems in other countries.
