System dynamics approach for sustainable housing development

Abstract

The provision of quality housing in adequate quantity is a major concern for planners in the developing regions. There is need of rapid housing development to meet the need of growing population while giving attention towards its minimal environmental impact. This paper focuses on the sustainable housing development using system dynamics model in the study area of Patna district, India. The optimum housing development has been suggested on the basis of result of analysis of various scenarios generated by performing simulation using control parameters in the formulated model. The environmental impact, like air pollution; noise; waste generation; water consumption; and energy consumption, due to the suggested housing development scenario has been discussed thoroughly, based upon which recommendations have been given. The findings of this research will be useful in providing solutions for the sustainable housing development to meet the growing demand as well as reduction of its adverse environmental impact in the study area.

Sustainable Housing Development in China: Does Financial Institutions Overcome the Risks and Challenges to Sustainable Housing?
