“…Household size dropped from 3.5 to 2.9 from 1990 to 2013 while the average living spaces increased from 13.7 m 2 to 33.1 m 2 in the same period (Chinese Statistical Yearbook, 1990-2013, so total floor spaces are in an increase over the past decades. As consequence of data limitations, some researchers used an assumed standardized living spaces to get the ratio, say 65 m 2 or 90 m 2 (Chiu, 1996;Yang and Shen, 2008;Chen et al, 2010). However as reported in Yearbook the actual supply of floor spaces was not reached 50 m 2 in 1990, thereby using the standardized floor spaces is not appropriate to estimate the actual level of house price to income, because it will inflate the ratios of earlier years.…”

Abstract.A home is one of the basic human needs, thus a new concept known as Grow Home has risen. This concept was established to encourage more families to buy their own houses. The Grow Home concept is based on the notion of affordable housing. This paper aims to explore a proposal for affordable housing measurement with six assessment components. In other words, this work intends to study factors that can affect affordable housing assessment. In this paper, we investigated the 20 criteria for affordable housing assessment given by Mulliner and Maliene in their study. Then, we rearranged these criteria into five components, and added the Grow Home component. Each component has different criteria. Finally, six affordable housing measurement components are identified, namely, income ratios, loans and accommodations, facilities and services, safety and comfort, quality management, and Grow Home. These components are also considered as main factors that directly affect affordable housing. This study aspires to contribute to existing literature by proposing six assessment components as a measurement of affordable housing.

Recently, governments strive to make housing affordable for residents. Affordable housing is not restricted only to the house prices, but it includes also the quality and amenities of the house. So, the main aim of this research is to develop affordable housing performance indicators (AHPI) for landed houses. It's based mainly on Mulliner and Malienes criteria for affordable housing and the concept of grow home for Friedman and Cammalleri. Taman Selasih (TS) and Taman Lukut Makmur (TLM) in Negeri Sembilan were chosen as a case study. They were constructed by Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB) in the central region of Malaysia. The sample consists of 155 units in TS and 93 units in TLM. A physical survey was conducted to assess the housing affordability for TS and TLM by field observation and informal interviews with the residents. The collected data were analyzed via SPSS software. The result shows that fourteen criteria can be applied as AHPI for landed houses, namely; houses prices in relation to income, safety-incidence of crime, access to employment, access to public transport facilities, access to good quality schools, access to shopping facilities, access to health care, access to child care, access to leisure facilities, access to open green public space, quality of housing, energy efficiency, land properties and new spaces. The value of this research comes from proposing a set of criteria that could be used as affordable housing performance indicators (AHPI) to assess the performance of landed houses.
