INSIGHTS ON APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN LAHORE
Main Article Content
Vertical urban growth is considered to be sustainable over a long period of time in developing countries. Vertical development has proven to be the most practical and sensible way for cities to grow in terms of economic and other important factors. The aim of this project is to look at residential satisfaction in apartment buildings. Research on the factors that influence the sample community's satisfaction with their homes is part of this research. The case study locations are Jallo colony, Kausar Flats and Askari 11 Apartments in Lahore. Distribution of survey questionnaires to 250 randomly selected participants from three designated areas (apartments) was the main element of the research methodology. Reliability analysis was carried out to determine the elements that influence citizen satisfaction. On the other hand, the opinions of tenants of apartment buildings in different parts of Lahore were compared using the chi-square test. However, rather than stopping at this research, scientists should go further and concentrate on the bad data that highlights design flaws that planners and architects must overcome to develop environments and spaces that satisfy humans. Our research revealed results that are largely consistent with previous research. This is followed by affordability, layout, proximity, connectivity, environmental factors, location, and recreational and leisure activities. Many publications center on citizen satisfaction with the complex's facilities and service requirements.
