Proje Özeti
Housing accessibility has
become one of the most pressing socio-economic challenges across both developed
and developing countries. Rapid urbanisation, increasing construction costs,
demographic growth, inflation, and unequal access to housing finance have
significantly reduced housing affordability, particularly for low-income
households. Governments have introduced various policy instruments such as
subsidised housing programmes, public-private partnerships, housing finance
reforms, and Islamic financing mechanisms; however, the effectiveness of these
policies differs considerably among countries.
Malaysia and Türkiye represent two important upper-middle-income countries that have implemented different institutional approaches to affordable housing. Malaysia has developed extensive affordable housing programmes supported by Islamic finance and government agencies. Despite these efforts, housing affordability remains an important policy issue in both countries.
The main purpose of this
project is to conduct a comparative analysis of housing accessibility for
low-income households in Malaysia and Türkiye by evaluating financing
instruments, institutional arrangements, social housing models, and
cost-effective housing production strategies. Based on the findings, the
project seeks to formulate practical policy recommendations that may contribute
to more inclusive and sustainable housing systems.
