Abstract

Affordable housing is not merely about cost but encompasses quality, safety, and accessibility. The shortage of affordable housing perpetuates cycles of poverty, negatively impacting well-being. Utilizing scientometric techniques —co-authorship analysis, citation network analysis, and keyword co-occurrence analysis— on Scopus data from 1999 to 2024, and employing the VOSviewer tool, the aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of housing affordability by integrating both monetary and non-monetary factors and identifies 1) the co-authorship, co-occurrence, and countries’ collaboration, and 2) the most cited article in the field.  The results reveal key contributors in affordable housing research, highlight influential works, and map publishing trends. The outcomes show that nine different groups exist and actively collaborate worldwide. Waddell’s work, with 873 citations, is the most cited, followed by Monahan with 421 citations. The analysis highlights significant thematic clusters, such as the integration of technological advancements, health considerations, and policy changes in affordable housing research. The study underscores the critical role of social and environmental sciences in addressing housing equity and community well-being. By mapping the current research landscape and forecasting future trajectories, this study provides critical insights for guiding future research, policy development, and societal progress in affordable housing.

Abstract

The present study delves into the decision-making processes pertaining to housing among young professionals residing in urban areas, focusing particularly on their preferences for sustainable housing options. Understanding the factors influencing the housing preferences of this demographic is critical for promoting sustainable urban development, given the ongoing challenges of urbanisation and environmental issues faced by cities. This study aims to explore the decision-making process pertaining to housing among young professionals in Malaysian urban areas and its correlation with sustainability. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, encompassing surveys and in-depth interviews, to analyse the significant factors and decision-making criteria of young professionals residing in urban settings concerning housing. This study primarily focuses on the economic aspect of housing decisions, specifically home affordability, without dismissing the social and environmental factors that may also influence these decisions. The present study contributes to the ongoing discourse on urban sustainability by elucidating the dynamic and evolving preferences of young professionals residing in urban areas. The findings provide valuable insights for politicians, urban planners, and developers who aim to construct housing options that are both sustainable and appealing to this influential demographic group. Ultimately, this contributes to the overall sustainability and resilience of urban communities.

Abstract

Rapid urbanisation across Southeast Asia intensifies the demand for housing that is simultaneously affordable, sustainable, and socially inclusive. This study investigates how smart technologies—Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things devices (IoT), Building Information Modelling, and passive cooling innovations—can advance socioeconomic sustainability in urban housing. A three-phase methodology combined a scientometric analysis of 454 Scopus-indexed papers, a systematic literature review of eight rigorously screened studies, and a qualitative content analysis of practice-based sources. The scientometric mapping reveals growing scholarly attention to energy efficiency and climate resilience, yet affordability and social equity remain peripheral themes. Evidence from Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand shows that smart sensors, digital simulations, and value-management frameworks can reduce cooling energy by up to 18,000 kWh annually, cut construction costs, and enhance thermal comfort in low-income settings. However, adoption is uneven owing to high capital costs, limited policy incentives, and skills gaps. The study proposes an integrated framework linking environmental performance, housing affordability, and social inclusion through appropriate digital tools. Policymakers and urban planners are urged to embed financing mechanisms, capacity-building, and participatory design into housing programmes to mainstream technology-enabled, equitable sustainability across the region within the next decade.

Abstract

This research investigates how migration infrastructure facilitates worldwide student mobility within the broad scope of higher education internationalization, together with a specific focus on Universitas Mataram, Central Eastern Indonesia. Despite the push for international education through National KPI Universities (IKU) , universities in peripheral regions often face significant architectural obstacles to access the above opportunities. Taking the notion of migration systems, the study examines the ways in which institutional arrangements, actors, and practices interact to shape student mobility experiences. By using migration infrastructure concept,Student mobility and internationalization the analysis shows that during internationalization efforts to facilitate cross-border connectivity, their results are unevenly distributed The occurrence of Universitas Mataram reveals the same constraints and the development of the building of the local educational migration nerve pathway. This study found three-part analysis: a) migration infrastructure for student mobility at University of Mataram, b) pattern and form of student mobility, c) Adaptation of internationalization of higher education by supporting migration infrastructure at University of Mataram. These discoveries add to our understanding of the ways in which periphera.l higher education institutions are able to negotiate national mandates and local difficulties to participate equally at global level.

Abstract

Aspects of adequate housing encompass affordability, habitability, accessibility, location, cultural appropriateness, and accessibility of resources such as services, materials, utilities, and infrastructure. Migrant settlement and housing issues in Malaysia have been a persistent problem for many years. Numerous migrants are compelled to live in cramped and unsafe circumstances due to various factors, including a lack of living space, inadequate government policies, and social stigma. Surprisingly, the housing aspect of integrating regular migrants has received little focus than other integration efforts. Both locals and migrants are impacted by this apathy and vulnerability. Key guiding principles that support the right to a reasonable standard of living, which includes sufficient housing, are found in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. Therefore, this article aims to explore the issues and challenges of migrants’ settlement in Malaysia’s urban area and propose suggestions to reduce the settlement issue among migrants. Correspondingly, this study employed a qualitative methodology that combined a thorough literature review with semi-structured interviews and subsequent thematic analysis. The findings show that uncomfortable living conditions for locals and overcrowding are major issues in migrant settlements. Five strategies are suggested to address these issues: creating housing cooperatives and modular dwellings; transforming emergency housing into long-term solutions; and reusing accessible derelict buildings.Received:2024-02-13 Revised:2024-02-23 Accepted:  2025-04-14 Published: 2025-04-27

Abstract

Women face significant challenges in accessing affordable and adequate housing, particularly in developing countries where discriminatory practices, gender inequality, and restrictive legal frameworks persist. Despite housing being recognised as a fundamental human right by international laws, many women around the world continue to face insecurity in this area. This issue remains largely underexplored, even though it directly impacts women’s economic and social well-being, safety, and overall quality of life. This study seeks to explore the patterns of research on women’s housing issues, identify the global challenges faced by women in accessing housing, and provide suggestions for the adoption of international practices and regulations to overcome these barriers. The research was based on a systematic literature review (SLR), which critically examined global studies on women’s housing to understand the core issues and solutions proposed by various nations. Key findings indicated that women encounter major obstacles, such as housing insecurity, gender inequality in housing access, and risks related to safety, including sexual violence. International practices, such as the Housing First model, gender-sensitive urban planning, and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), offer frameworks to mitigate these issues. Policy recommendations include the enforcement of anti-discrimination laws, expansion of affordable housing programmes, and the provision of integrated support services for women facing housing insecurity.
