Abstract

House or shelter is indeed the most important thing for every individual for a good quality of life. Diverse types of houses or dwellings are built to cater to the demand, especially in the urban area. Anyhow, the housing preferences are inconsistent depending on income, work, and family. Also, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic has been severe and unprecedented, affecting people's preferences in many aspects. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the factors affecting the housing preferences among government servants considering the view of post-pandemic. A survey was conducted to gather information among the government workers in Klang Valley area. The gathered data is processed and translated into frequency, descriptive analysis, and reliability analysis to identify the factors that affect respondent's housing preferences. The findings indicate that housing cost is the most affecting factor for housing preferences. The results contribute to practical contribution in added knowledge on post-pandemic resident preferences especially from government servants' perspective. This research also gives insight to developers, government, and stakeholders in planning future housing development based on expected buyer preferences.
