Abstract

 

The present study aims to investigate sustainable housing development in Swabi, Pakistan. This study seeks the impact of government planning and designing on sustainable housing and the influence of economy and cost-efficiency on sustainable housing. Moreover, this study also finds the impact of sustainable housing on residents' comfort. The data was collected through a self-designed survey questionnaire from construction and development professionals, such as architects, planners, and designers. A specific population was chosen through random sampling, and data was collected through an online survey using Google Forms. It was hypothesized that government policies of housing plan and design impact sustainable housing, and economy and cost-efficiency also significantly impact sustainable housing. Sustainable housing was also assumed to impact residents’ comfort and environmental safety significantly. One sample t-test was applied to the data to explore the viewpoint of the same population on different aspects of sustainable housing. The statistical data analysis indicates a significant relationship between the government’s role, economy, and cost-efficiency in sustainable housing in Pakistan. Moreover, it was also found that sustainable housing positively influences residents’ comfort and protects the environment.
