Research on Co-housing Model—Experience and Applicability to Housing Design for Low-Income People in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The co-housing model encourages social interaction, communication, support and help among residents. Major cities and towns around the world have been moving towards this model to meet the huge housing needs of urban dwellers, while also adapting to today's environmental and social challenges, including Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. A huge difficulty of HCMC in recent years is meeting the housing needs of more than 13 million residents, more than half of whom are middle- and low-income people. Most of them want to find employment and education opportunities in big cities, and they share the same difficult living condition in an expensive city like HCMC. Therefore, finding a safe and affordable house to live in is the first important thing for workers and their families. This article is a qualitative study using mixed methods including document synthesis and comparison, mapping and observation methods. Based on understanding the cooperative housing model and practical experience both inside and outside the country, the authors outline the co-housing model and propose a set of criteria for establishing a cooperative housing model for low-income people in HCMC. From there, assess the suitability between the set of criteria and the applicability of different types of housing for low-income people in HCMC. This study aims to propose a table of criteria for evaluating the application of the co-housing model in housing design for low-income people in Ho Chi Minh City.
