Abstract

As the most basic livelihood issues, the housing problem, to a great extent, is largely related to the social stability. This study focused on how public housing contributes to social justice and social mix, especially from the resident‟s perception. The methodology we used includes on-spot questionnaire, short interview and multiple regression models. A survey of 52 valid questionnaires received can help to support our result. Despite the results suggest that residents of Hong Kong Public Houses expressed a neutral attitude on Hong Kong Public Housing Policy contributing social mix and social justice, their perception on social mix and social justice are highly related with each other.
