Introduction

Housing Policy

Housing Policy includes formal laws and regulations that directly affect the construction, maintenance, and use of housing. While housing policies vary by the country, they generally aim to meet both physical and social goals. Differences in national policies reflect how much faith a country has in the market to provide housing for its people and under what circumstances the state will intervene. For example, the first intervened in the market in response to the Great Depression, introducing new financial instruments and incentives to help jumpstart the economy by making it easier for people to buy homes. In comparison, the United Kingdom and many European countries began investing in resources to support the production of housing for lower-income working families in the late 1800s, in an effort to improve the poor living conditions resulting from rapid industrialization. In most communist states, the market was supplanted by government development programs and redistribution strategies. Poor and developing countries with limited private investment historically are more likely to rely on external agencies for housing assistance. In all cases, an outcome of interest to geographers is the spatial patterns and uneven development that result from housing policy or absence of it.

Housing goals may be differentiated into physical and social ones. Physical goals may be loosely defined as those concerned with the quantity and quality of housing environments. Social goals, in contrast, focus on housing affordability and equality of access (Economic Commission for Europe, 2006. 125).

Limitation of the Study

A number of limitations of this study are to be mentioned. These limitations would also provide avenues for further research. Firstly, the sample of this research will be limited to a definite area. Further study may use cross nation or cross-continent evaluations. Secondly, this research will use data obtained from specific people to a limited extent. Additional studies in this field should use past data to a greater extent. Lastly, this study merely considers the moderating effects of the financing, planning and budgeting related to construction of the houses in urban areas.

Methodology

Quantitative research is research involving the use of structured questions where the response options have been predetermined and a large number of respondents are involved. Qualitative research is much more subjective than quantitative research and uses majorly different methods of collecting information, mainly individual, in-depth interviews and focus groups. The nature of this type of research is exploratory and open-ended. Small numbers of people are interviewed in-depth, relatively small number of focus groups are conducted.

The use of purposive sampling was the strength that was extremely constructive for conditions when the researcher would like to reach a targeted collection of the people being sampled (Beck, 2002. 12).
