Abstract

This study explores to determine the live-work housing needs of low-income older people in informal settlements, the ways of life of whom contemporary housing provision often fails to consider. A questionnaire survey was conducted in three communities in Klong Toey, the largest informal settlement in Bangkok, to understand households’ satisfaction levels and expectations regarding the interior quality of their live-work housing. Older people’s specific interior spaces and housing requirements and expectations vary depending on the nature of their livelihood activities that can be categorised into three main groups, namely service, cook, and stock. The findings suggest a strong relationship between housing domains and the overall satisfaction of older people. There is a strong relationship between overall housing satisfaction and comfort in interior living spaces, as well as safety for domestic working spaces. Design, Health, Comfort, and Adaptability are important domains for live-work environments that ensure housing meets older people’s expectations. Therefore, housing design and improvements should embrace the live-work concept to maintain a sustainable and healthy ageing environment.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of a participatory model for developing a paper waste recycling system and integrating it within architectural design education. In response to the high level of paper waste inherent in design studio learning, the initiative treats waste not as a final output but as reusable material for further resources. A student-led, participatory model was established to design and implement a paper waste recycling system, including the establishment of a sorting hub in the studio environment, regular waste tracking, and hands-on workshops on various forms of paper reuse and recycling. The process evolved through regular feedback, peer coordination, and internal reflection, eventually forming a self-sustaining initiative. Evaluation methods included surveys, interviews, and visual documentation throughout the process. Framing design learning as both a material and behavioral practice, this study contributes a model with potential replication for embedding circular practices into higher education, particularly in resource-intensive creative disciplines.
