Abstract (483 Views)
Objective: This study aims to develop a conceptual model of sustainable social housing, with a particular focus on the dimensions of social sustainability.
Research Methodology: This applied research uses a qualitative approach and employs a meta-synthesis method, due to the vast scope of existing literature on sustainable social housing. Sandlowski and Barroso's seven-step model was utilized to integrate and extract key concepts from prior studies. A total of 140 scholarly articles and documents were gathered from domestic and international academic databases. After three rounds of screening, 29 documents were selected for the meta-synthesis process. Systematic coding techniques, including open, axial, and selective coding, were used to categorize the findings. To ensure the validity of the coding, experts in the field reviewed the framework, and the reliability was calculated using the percentage agreement method, yielding a Kappa index value of 0.875, indicating high validity. This process ultimately led to the creation of the conceptual model.
Findings: The research identified 10 sub-categories and 4 main concepts related to sustainable social housing and social sustainability. These were derived by synthesizing the selected scientific documents and linking the concepts, offering a structured overview of the subject matter.
Conclusion: The resulting conceptual model for sustainable social housing emphasizes four key dimensions: livability (with two criteria), quality (with two criteria), community orientation (with three criteria), and executive-economic management (with three criteria). This model provides a comprehensive framework for advancing social sustainability within the context of social housing.
