| Abstract | The urbanization and industrialization are the causations of population growth due to migration in HCMC. Housing shortage is still the big problem for the majority of low income people. Public sector has tried to increase the housing stock, their housing services are small volume, low quality and no housing management. Private sector's role is still limited, though; their low income housing services are more productive, better quality and good housing management. By the mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, this study describes, compares and analyzes the public and private sectors' roles and their relationships in efforts of promoting low income housing. It is argued that private sector could provide the better housing service and fill the gap of housing shortage for low income people. Their co-operations could raise the capital investment and gather resources to develop. Because the weak role of government on urban planning and land and housing management, private sector was hardly to access the high price and scarce land resource. Government intervention by supporting private sector to access land and provide low income housing was unattractiveness. Land resource is the main factor for developing low income housing. Land price is determinant to private sector's ability in land access. Government commitment is important to establish the low income housing market and encourage private sector for their greater role in low income housing provisioning |
