| Abstract | The development of Low cost housing has become an urgent and important topic of discussion in Myanmar. Affordable housing should meet the needs of those eligible households with a cost low enough for them to afford. The affordable and low cost housing aims to solve the problems of those who do have the ability to pay for their houses. Although several public housing programs as a welfare system were undertaken in Myanmar, in order to address the increasing housing needs of low income people, they are still in need of affordable housing due to poor housing policy, lack of proper housing finance mechanism and low affordability for home ownership. Low cost housing development in Yangon is currently at the initial stage. This study provides an overview of existing housing situation and affordable housing development process of Yangon city, technology, material, contractors, land acquisition, permit approval, Funding, loan and marketing for low cost housing sector in Myanmar, as well as experience of housing development to find out suggestions for Yangon low cost housing development. From the analysis of low housing development and lessons from the affordable housing, it is clear that policy and financial support including long term mortgage loan and housing provident fund is essential for low income group to be available and accessible to affordable housing. |
