“…Mohamed and Malek [19] assessed that massive rural migration has led to high demand for housing in urban areas, especially in middle-income communities. However, the amount of income ultimately affects the people's ability to buy houses, especially if there is a difference between the ratio of house prices to income; people's ability to own a home will inevitably be low [20].…”

The provision of livable housing through the Public Housing Credit (KPR) financing scheme is the Indonesian government's way of meeting the housing needs of the lower middle class. However, the program needs further attention and evaluation, especially concerning the fulfillment of affordability and sustainability aspects. This research was conducted in Aceh Besar Regency using a mixed methods approach. Primary data was obtained through a survey that managed to collect 83 respondents. Then, statistical data analysis is supported by secondary scientific data, especially from books and journals published in the last ten years. The 20 criteria from Mulliner and Maliene, which describe ideal housing conditions that are affordable and sustainable, are used as measuring tools. The study results show that the housing area meets the affordable aspect. Meanwhile, for the sustainability aspect, there are still three indicators whose impact has not been satisfactory: access to public transport, waste management, and deprivation in the area. This research is expected to provide new insights for the government and housing developers in building community residential areas, namely by not only focusing on affordable aspects but also being able to integrate them with sustainable aspects.

“…In detail, maintenance management issues include inadequate building and facilities maintenance (Xu & Luo, 2021). Besides, the continual rise and the unaffordable property price in the market have led to tenancy management issues (Azmi & Bujang, 2021;Cagamas, 2013;Nasir et al, 2022). In detail, inequitable allocation unit of PH, illegally subletting to third parties, and low tenancy turnover rate (Bo, 2012;Li et al, 2017;Xu & Luo, 2021;Zeng et al, 2017).…”

Public Housing (PH) in Malaysia is commonly called for improvement, as property management issues continue to arise. To address these issues, performance measurement plays an important role in monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness of the operation in PH. However, limited performance measurement studies in PH provide an overview of what property management operations are to be measured. Hence, this paper aims to examine the performance measurement practices adopted in public housing. From here, six overarching themes, particularly management in tenancy, maintenance, building, social, financial, and administrative are identified. These six main themes are further divided into nineteen subthemes. Further, an interview is conducted with PH zone managers from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to examine the current management operation and performance measurement practices in PH Malaysia. This paper provides insightful information on the trend, indicators, and operations in the performance measurement practices in PH.

Housing affordability issues arise when the household income is insufficient to cover the expenses of owning a house due to high housing market prices. This significantly impacts potential buyers, especially members of the youth generation who have just embarked on their careers. This study contributes to the empirical studies related to the monetary and non-monetary factors that influence the affordability of housing for Bumiputera youths in Klang. Primary data was gathered from 382 respondents using purposive stratified sampling. The findings indicate that seven main factors strongly influence housing affordability for Bumiputera youths: household income, housing price, loan approval, household expenditure, type of property, number of working households and location. Thus, the findings of this study will contribute to policy decisions, assessments and practices related to housing affordability among Bumiputera youths and support the implementation of the government policy to ensure that at least 75% of Bumiputera households are able to own residential property.
