Preference on Social Spaces in High Density Condominiums in Malaysia

Abstract:

People are interested to spend their leisure time in spaces where variety of activities take place so more users are attracted to such spaces.Living environments lacking inappropriate social spaces, resulting poor social interaction have been causing psychological problems as well as issues on security and safety and matters with sense of belonging to the environment. This paper focuses on residents’ preference on character of spaces for social interaction in their condominiums. This study employed questionnaire surveys for selected condominium residents in Kelang Valley, Malaysia. The study found that limitations, cumbersome rules, as well aspoor connectivity of spaces have caused people to prefer outdoor social spaces where they can have free activities,view other people activities and half hear them.
