This study employs a bibliometric approach to analyze the existing body of research on cohousing. The objective of this study was to identify thematic trends, dominant approaches, and highly relevant works and authors within this field. Through this investigation, we aim to map the intellectual landscape of cohousing research, thereby informing future research directions, guiding policymakers, and supporting practitioners in their endeavors. This bibliometric study comprehensively addresses cohousing research from 1979 to 2023, using the Scopus database as the primary source. The methodology involved identifying terms related to cohousing and a quadruple evaluation to ensure the reliability of the search terms. The bibliometrix tool, integrated into the R programing language, was used for data processing and analysis. Results showed an annual growth of 8.55%, with a significant increase since 2009. Taking into account the interdisciplinary character of the identified sources, this approach is prominent in the case under investigation. Bradford's law reveals that a handful of key academic journals dominate scientific publications in cohousing research, concentrating most research output. The core themes presented encompass "senior cohousing" and "community care," with the overarching driving factors being housing policy and affordable housing, all of which prominently stand out. These themes are pivotal for grasping the current trajectory of cohousing. This groundbreaking study is of exceptional significance in addressing the pressing need to investigate new living environments for older adults and the provision of social housing. Its findings are of immense value to scientists from diverse fields, policymakers, and the public. No other study has delved as deeply into cohousing research as this one, analyzing a vast corpus from 1979 to the present. It uncovers trends and highlights recent developments in its social focus, thus establishing a foundation for understanding its potential to address contemporary challenges.

“…Policymakers and house owners need to consider these factors to ensure the development of residents (Li and Zhang 2021). An important step to achieve this is through the presentation of co-housing as a socially and environmentally sustainable collective model (Wang, Pan, and Hadjri 2021). This model is not initially attractive but eventually infiltrates residents due to its pragmatism and motivation for social relations.…”

This research is conducted to determine the underlying reasons a particular theater group adjusts to a certain setting and conditions in order to maintain its continued presence in a location. One of the reasons previously identified for the acceptance and adaptation is the low affordability of housing. Therefore, qualitative design and grounded theory method were applied, and the habitation form of the group was observed to determine their dwelling adaptation. The results showed that the role of the government as patron was very important for the survival of groups, specifically in providing increasingly affordable housing for urban poor and catering for psychological and social welfare. Client was also discovered to have become increasingly attached to the housing assistance and considered patron as important figures and protectors. It was argued that certain stakeholders have an important role in producing residential designs to empower and maintain the survival of urban poor.
