Abstract

The provision of housing to meet the rapid increase in population from all economic classes is a target of most housing programs. This paper aims to suggest a new type of economic housing in Gaza- Palestine through an architectural education studio and analyzing its acceptance through a questionnaire and interviews. The need for this type of multi-storey attached apartments in Gaza is essential considering matching it with socio-cultural values to be accepted by society members. The results clarify the best characteristics of the lowincome housing. The degree of acceptance among the students was higher than among interviewees from responsible authorities.
