Abstract
Abstract : Residents of USAREUR family housing in Germany residing in single- family attached apartments, multi-family low rises and high rise buildings were surveyed. Results suggest that building type affects residents' health, family relations and relations with neighbors and volunteerism. Social problems occurred at a differential rate depending on type of housing. Finally, resident satisfaction differs according to housing type. The results of this study suggest that leased government housing on the German economy can provide an attractive alternative to stairwell living as long as the buildings are not of the high rise variety. Also, the findings suggest that a number of positive attitudinal and behavioral effects are associated with the less dense types of stairwell buildings. These include those buildings with two rather than three stairwells and those buildings which are three as opposed to four stories tall.
