Finally, the study aimed to classify the data and information of slum relocation projects to different variables for setting criteria to assess projects.

The findings are, firstly, the physical infrastructure condition on site are the main factor that reflect whether the project would be a success or a failure. Secondly, the location of project site and the environmental of surrounding areas are the main factors effecting the living condition of the relocation project. And thirdly, the distance from the site to the main road cause the decrease of land ownership as they moved away. The study concludes with recommendations that the good part1c1pation of the community leader and other agencies could be the main factor for the success of the slum relocation projects. In addition, the coordination between the community organization and other agencies are important for the slum dwellers. These include the project of slum relocation should be located on a site that is moderately accessible. In order to improve the possibilities for finding jobs and to subsidize the project, the NHA should consider selling some pieces of land to companies which can provide employment for the residents, whereas the money can be used for community development purposes. |
