“…In terms of other extrinsic factors, consumers also placed high importance on the quality of the exterior finishing (rank five overall). This echoes other research conducted in Chile (Greene & Ortuzar, 2002) and Jordan (Al-Momani, 2003) that identified building materials used for the exterior as one of the most important variables for housing consumers. Building quality was also found to be important to consumers in Indonesia (Rahadi et al, 2015b).…”

“…Whereas Cupchik et al (2003) organise housing attributes into two main categories: internal [or intrinsic] housing variables and external [or extrinsic] housing variables. Intrinsic housing attributes include factors such as housing size, interior layout, design and functionality, space, number of rooms and internal design (Al-Momani, 2003;Bhatti & Church, 2004;Dale-Johnson & Phillips, 1984;Greene & Ortuzar, 2002;Tan, 2012a). Extrinsic attributes include factors such as exterior design and appearance, building quality and materials, and exterior space (Al-Momani, 2003;Bhatti & Church, 2004;Wang & Li, 2006).…”

Due to rapid urbanisation, population growth and limited supply of housing, the housing sector in Saudi Arabia is facing significant challenges. There have been attempts to provide largescale housing projects to combat this issue. However, there are concerns that short-term policies to provide large quantities of housing can result in low-quality units which are underside by consumers. Therefore, understanding consumer preferences with regard to housing is crucially important if housing projects are to be successful in the long term. This paper explores consumer preferences for housing attributes in Saudi Arabia and compares these against the views of property professionals. Data was gathered via quantitative surveys from 752 housing consumers and 101 property practitioners from across Saudi Arabia. Descriptive analysis and the Mann-Whitney U test are used to determine the mean importance of the housing attributes and to compare the findings from each group. The results of the study provide an analysis on the importance of various housing attributes and highlights similarities and disparities in opinions. The analysis found significant differences between consumers' and property practitioners' views on what consumers believe are important housing attributes. Given this lack of alignment, the findings should offer housing providers with a better understanding of consumer preferences in the Saudi Arabia context.

“…When compared with the completeness of public facilities, housing estate management is a more important criterion. This finding is consistent with the research (Al Momani, 2003) which states that the management of the housing environment is an aspect that affects the quality of residential neighborhoods, particularly the management of public facilities and residential neighborhoods. Research on housing location preferences suggests that occupants prefer living in sub city area.…”

“…Voordt and Wegen (2005) describe quality as the extent to which a product fulfi ls the requirements set for it; and ' architectonic quality ' as an umbrella term, covering various aspects of quality, such as aesthetic, functional (building effi ciency), symbolic and cultural value. Other studies attend to the evaluation of the quality of the built environment in terms of affective responses, using user assessment of the environments ( Al-Momani, 2003 ). Satisfaction, attitudes and preferences are three types of criterion normally used.…”

This study evaluates the residential environments of fi ve low-income and three medium-income public housing estates in Lagos, Nigeria. The specifi c objectives were: to appraise the physical characteristics of residential buildings in the estates; to examine the socio-economic characteristics of the residents; to determine the relative levels of residents ' satisfaction; and to analyse the relationship between the physical characteristics and residents ' satisfaction. The methodology involves an expert rating appraisal conducted by four evaluators and a survey of residents ' satisfaction. Ten performance criteria were developed and used in assessing the characteristics of the residential environments. Data relating to residents ' satisfaction were obtained by means of structured questionnaire administered on a systematic sample of 806 household heads, from a sampling frame of 8060 housing units. The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed a gap in quality between the mediumand low-income estates. The results also showed that 62 per cent of the physical characteristics of the residences are highly correlated with residents ' satisfaction ( r = 0.62). This buttresses the signifi cance of the physical characteristics of residences in determining the level of residents ' satisfaction. Such information will enhance the skills of architects and housing administrators to ascertain specifi c actions that can maximize more satisfactory housing provisions and minimize dissatisfaction as much as possible.
