- abstract
- For the past 17 years, the South Africa government has been providing housing schemes for the low-income and disadvantaged group. These low-income housing schemes have not, however, been holistically evaluated. Based on a post occupancy evaluation protocol of occupant survey of low-income housing scheme in Johannesburg, South Africa, the article presents the beneficiaries’ judgement and assessment of the environment in which they are living. Face-to-face interview with 78 occupants revealed that they attached great importance to the level of satisfaction with their neighbourhoods. The most important factor associated with their neighbourhood satisfaction was privacy, which was a reflection of their previously living background.
