Post-occupancy Evaluation of the Low-income Residential Community Case Study: Ban Pra Cha Rat Rim klong San Chao Poh SomBoon

Abstract

The San Chao Por Somboon Community was originally one of the low-income communities that encroached on Bangkok's canals. Currently, the entire community has been demolished and new houses have been built on The Treasury Department’s land. On the principle of Post-occupancy Evaluation (POE), the research objective is to evaluate after-use residential buildings in low-income communities. The research instrument consisted of a structured interview, questionnaires and in-depth interviews. These Data were collected with a sample of 200 residents. Data were analyzed by averaging and content analysis. Research has found that the overall attitude of residents is positive towards the project as it provides standardized housing, legal, has a house number and basic utilities. Residents feel that the house is beautiful and appropriate for the construction price. Most of the time is spent in the bedroom and living room. Feel that the surrounding area has the appropriate width and height. Suitable for the way of life of the community. Feel that there is beauty and beauty worth looking at. Most of the time is spent near the waterfront and sports grounds. However, the disadvantage is that villagers have an additional burden from having to make monthly home payments. The usable space inside the house is less than before because the house has been allocated according to the number of residents and the house is subject to building laws.
