Using Fussy Analytic Network Process to Explore the Factors of Performance Housing Refurbishment in Taiwan

Abstract

Housing policy is one of the major public policies in Taiwan. Since 2006 the cities of Taipei and Kaohsiung have been busy with housing refurbishment as part of the urban policies. However, as for the Kaohsiung housing refurbishment projects, the initial result was somewhat disappointing. Only one out of the twelve applicants who applied for housing refurbishment was subsidized in Kaohsiung; the required subsidy rate for Taipei was also low, 38%. This paper focuses on the performance analysis of the housing refurbishment policy. This paper will use the FANP method to find the factors that could influenced the performance of the housing refurbishment. Through empirical analysis, it was found that the success of the housing refurbishment projects are heavily affected by the factors of economic benefit and policy deliverables. We believed that the proper promotion of house refurbishment subsidy, the transparency of information can consolidate the implementation of house refurbishment policy.
