Finding out user priorities in low-cost housing
If any organisation is starting a low-cost housing scheme the prototype of the house to be built is always considered as too expensive. One way to find a workable solution is to leave out some of the details in order to make it cheaper, a process often called the striptease. This seldom leads to an exciting result, because the researcher does not know the real priorities of those who have to live in 'basic' houses. The Division of Building Research, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Melbourne, Australia, has now developed a system to find out what kind of house is really desired by those who may well have their own distinctive cultural values.
