This study aims to assess the current capacity, challenges and needs of capacity building of agricultural extension workers in Bac Kan province under the context of climate change. The research was conducted during 2021-2022, using semi-structured questionnaires for face-to-face interviews with 17 leaders and 59 staff members of agricultural extension agencies in the province. Results show that the agricultural extension workforce of Bac Kan province has advantages in terms of qualifications and work experience. Nonetheless, they also encountered a number of challenges under the context of increasingly changing environment. These include: (1) passivity in guiding production and technical transfer activities, (2) difficulties in pest and disease forecast and management, (3) increased workload; and (4) their communication and/or community outreach activities face many challenges, especially in localities with ethnic minorities, scattered housing locations, and difficult travel access. Most of the agricultural extension workers have not been trained in both agricultural extension methods and climate change adaptation. Technical climate-resilient production manuals (for both crops and livestock), effective communication methods and information sharing networks among agricultural extension officers were considered the main learning resources that they desired to be equipped to effectively carry out their tasks under the context of climate change.

Crop-raiding by wildlife and cropland abandonment as feedback from nature-based solutions: lessons from case studies in China and Nepal

Abstract Conservation efforts under the nature-based solutions (NbS) framework aim at better management of ecosystems and improvement of human well-being. Policies targeting forest-based livelihoods align well with the NbS principles, but their social-ecological outcomes are often confounded by complex human-environment interactions. In this study, we identify one major feedback effect of the ecosystem dynamic on people’s livelihoods based on datasets collected from two study areas in China and Nepal. Our methodology integrates satellite remote sensing, household surveys, and statistical models to investigate households’ cropland abandonment decisions under the influence of crop-raiding by wildlife. Results show that cropland parcels that have experienced crop-raiding are more likely to be abandoned in the following years. The more damage the crops have suffered on a given parcel, the more likely it is that the parcel will be abandoned. Parcels in proximity to natural forests, farther away from the house location, and with poorer access to paved roads bear a higher risk of being abandoned. These effects are robust and consistent after controlling for multiple parcel features and household characteristics at different levels and using the dataset from each study area separately. We conclude that policymakers need to consider this undesirable feedback of the ecological system to the livelihoods of local people to better achieve co-benefits for ecosystems and human society.

Examining the impact of health insurance and socioeconomic factors on children’s hospitalization in Indonesia: an empirical analysis

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of different types of healthcare and insurance on the health of Indonesian youth. The study employs logistic regression, a statistical method used to analyze relationships between variables and predict outcomes. Data were collected through an Indonesia’s National Socio-Economic Survey, which gathers information from individuals within a household. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s National Health Insurance (with or without subsidies) reduces the likelihood of children being hospitalized. Families enrolled in the program, often from low- to middle-income backgrounds with limited access to healthcare, benefit significantly from this initiative, which provides affordable and essential health services. This program allows these families to access healthcare that would otherwise be unaffordable. However, private and employer-sponsored insurance did not reduce hospitalization rates, likely because families in these plans already benefit from better overall health, nutrition and access to health-promoting activities. In contrast, children without insurance are more likely to be hospitalized due to their location and economic and financial constraints. Other determinant factors affecting children’s health included age, sex, parent’s education, smoking behavior and house location. The results showed that older children were generally healthier, children of well-educated and non-smoking parents were less likely to be hospitalized and those living in urban areas had a higher likelihood of hospitalization than those in rural areas. This study highlights the importance of expanding access to health insurance and promoting parental education and non-smoking behavior to improve children’s overall health. Failing to address these issues could create challenges for the future, given that the current young generation will eventually become the nation’s leaders.

DETERMINANTS OF FOOD SECURITY AMONG INDONESIAN FARMING HOUSEHOLDS

The Global Food Security Index (GFSI) shows an increase in Indonesia's food security from 2021 to 2022. However, this increase does not yet indicate better Indonesian food security because this increase is still lower than the global average and the Asia Pacific average. The food security conditions of farming households could be a solution considering the importance of farming household food security which can deliver an impact in maintaining economic stability and reducing dependence on the market. This research aims to analyze the factors that influence the food security of farming households. The model used is Robust Regression since the Normality and Heteroscedasticity assumptions were failed. Data were taken from IFLS wave 5. Based on the results, it shows that the variables of age, gender, home ownership status, cooking fuels, electricity use and house location influence the food security of farming households. While, the variables of head of household’s education, availability of toilets and water sources have no effect on the food security of farming households

Analisis Karakteristik Fisik Lahan Kawasan Perumahan di Dusun Jering VI, Desa Sidorejo, Kecamatan Godean, Kabupaten Sleman

Land characteristics include land factors that can be measured or estimated in size such as slope, rainfall, soil texture, available water and so on. The study was conducted at a housing location in Jering VI Hamlet, Sidorejo Village, Godean District, Sleman Regency which is located on Mount Wungkal. The condition of Mount Wungkal before being used as housing had dense vegetation, but with the large-scale opening of housing land, there were changes that occurred on Mount Wungkal. The opening of the land caused several impacts on the environment so it is important to know the physical characteristics of the land in the area. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the physical characteristics of the land in the research area. The method used is the survey and mapping method in data collection and descriptive analysis. The results of the study obtained are the physical characteristics of the land of the Godean Jogja Hills housing area, there are several criteria that are appropriate and inappropriate. The criteria that are not appropriate are slope gradient, area of green open space, drainage infrastructure capacity, not located in a disaster-prone area (landslides, floods, erosion, and abrasion), not located in an agricultural/buffer cultivation area, distance to educational facilities, health facilities and trade and commerce facilities and the appropriate criteria are the area for building houses, water availability, not located in the border area of rivers/coasts/reservoirs/lakes/springs/irrigation channels/railways and safe flight areas, not located in protected areas, avoiding technical irrigation rice fields, wastewater disposal systems and garbage disposal systems

How workable is a 20-minute city in Australia? Re-examining the challenge of change in spatial labour and job relations

ABSTRACT Most x-minute city studies focus on liveability and neighborhood accessibility to local services, but rarely include primary employment. This paper complements these studies by examining the urban employment structure and transport dynamics of an Australian city under the 20-minute city concept framework. To do this, we develop a comprehensive method to model residents’ job access time using census-based journey to work (JTW) data and detailed household activity and travel survey. Analysing JTW time stepping down to diverse industry and employment categories and transport modes allows new insight into the disparity in residents’ job and housing locations and transport choices at local scales. By evaluating the distribution of working residents, types of employment, and transport performance, this paper examines possible policy responses and challenges of change in expanding the 20-minute planning target for employment. The analysis suggests that housing infill development could support reduced JTW time for residents experiencing longer time for work travels. However, this would require active planning of both land-use mix and dwelling design to meet prevalent household expectations about dwelling size and quality.

Programmatic and Organizational Barriers and Facilitators to Addressing High-Risk Issues in Supportive Housing and Housing First Programs.

Risk management is an important component of service delivery in supportive housing and Housing First programs. However, there is no evidence on the implementation of risk management approaches in these settings. This qualitative study examined what service providers working in supportive housing and Housing First programs in Canada identify as the programmatic and organizational factors that affect the prevention and management of high-risk behaviours and challenges (e.g., overdose, suicide attempts, non-suicidal self-injury, falls and fall-related injuries, fire-setting, hoarding, apartment takeovers, violence, property damage, drug selling) in their programs. In-depth interviews were completed with a purposive sample of 32 service providers. Data were analyzed using an integrative approach that incorporated techniques from qualitative description and thematic analysis. Four thematic factors, which were comprised of various barriers and facilitators, that affected management of high-risk issues in supportive housing and Housing First programs were identified: [1] flexibility in addressing risk issues; [2] early identification of risk issues; [3] built environment and housing location; and [4] resource availability. Overall, the findings underscore how service providers aim to identify high-risk issues promptly, beginning as early as referral, and that their capacity to effectively do this and intervene accordingly is dynamically shaped by various aspects of the program model, environment, and availability of internal and external resources. Yet, the findings also highlight how risk management approaches may conflict with other programmatic goals and values, and the importance of considering these collectively. Systems-level changes to strengthen programs' capacity to prevent risk and implications for future research are discussed.

Stability of Gastric Fluid and Fecal Microbial Populations in Healthy Horses under Pasture and Stable Conditions.

Equine gastrointestinal microbial communities vary across the gastrointestinal tract and in response to diet or disease. Understanding the composition and stability of gastric fluid microbiota in healthy horses is a prerequisite to understanding changes associated with the development of disease. The objective of this study was to describe microbial communities in the gastric fluid and feces of healthy horses longitudinally. Horses were maintained on pasture (6 weeks), stabled (5 weeks), then returned to pasture. A consistent forage diet was provided throughout. Native gastric fluid and feces were collected weekly for full-length 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing and microbial profiling analysis. Fewer taxa were identified in the gastric fluid (770) than in the feces (5284). Species richness and diversity were significantly different between sample types (p < 0.001), but not between housing locations (p = 0.3). There was a significant effect of housing and horse on the Bray-Curtis compositional diversity of gastric (p = 0.005; p = 0.009) and fecal (p = 0.001; p = 0.001) microbiota. When horses moved from pasture to stable, the relative proportions of gastric fluid Lactobacillaceae increased and Streptococcaceae decreased, while fecal Firmicutes increased and Bacteriodota decreased. Within each housing condition, there was no significant week-to-week variation in gastric (p = 0.9) or fecal (p = 0.09) microbiota. Overall, these findings support the maintenance of stable gastric and fecal microbial populations under each management condition, providing a basis for further investigation of gastric fluid microbiota in diseases of the foregut.

Developing a Comprehensive Inventory to Define Harm Reduction Housing.

Background The City of Boston has faced unprecedented challenges with substance use amidst changes to the illicit drug supply and increased visibility of homelessness. Among its responses, Boston developed six low threshold harm reduction housing (HRH) sites geared towards supporting the housing needs of people who use drugs (PWUD) and addressing health and safety concerns around geographically concentrated tent encampments. HRH sites are transitional supportive housing that adhere to a "housing first" approach where abstinence is not required and harm reduction services and supports are co-located. Despite the importance of HRH, the specific characteristics and operations of these sites are not well understood. This study sought to address this gap by cataloging the common features of Boston's HRH sites to generate a comprehensive inventory tool for evaluating implementation of harm reduction strategies at transitional housing locations. Methods We collected data between June and September 2023 and included semi-structured qualitative interviews with HRH staff (n = 19), ethnographic observations and photos at six HRH sites. Candidate inventory components were derived through triangulation of the data. Two expert medical staff unaffiliated with data collection reviewed a draft inventory measuring awareness and utility of HRH inventory components. We then pilot tested the inventory with 3 HRH residents across two sites for readability and reliability. Inventory performance was further tested in a survey of 106 residents. Results HRH staff identified best practices, resources, and policies in HRH sites that were further contextualized with ethnographic field notes. Common to all were overdose prevention protocols, behavioral policies, security measures, and harm reduction supplies distribution. The initial 44-item inventory of services, policies and site best practices was further refined with expert and participant feedback and application, then finalized to generate a 32-item inventory. Residents identified and valued harm reduction services; medical supports were highly valued but less utilized. Conclusion The HRH inventory comprehensively assesses harm reduction provision and residents' awareness and perceived helpfulness of HRH operational components. Characterizing the critical components of HRH through this tool will aid in standardizing the concept and practice of HRH for PWUD and may assist other cities in planning and implementing HRH.

Development and Field Test of Integrated Electronics Piezoelectric Accelerometer Based on Lead-Free Piezoelectric Ceramic for Centrifugal Pump Monitoring.

In this study, an Integrated Electronics Piezoelectric (IEPE)-type accelerometer based on an environmentally friendly lead-free piezoceramic was fabricated, and its field applicability was verified using a cooling pump owned by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). As an environmentally friendly piezoelectric material, 0.96(K,Na)NbO3-0.03(Bi,Na,K,Li)ZrO3-0.01BiScO3 (0.96KNN-0.03BNKLZ-0.01BS) piezoceramic with an optimized piezoelectric charge constant (d33) was introduced. It was manufactured in a ring shape using a solid-state reaction method for application to a compression mode accelerometer. The fabricated ceramic ring has a high piezoelectric constant d33 of ~373 pC/N and a Curie temperature TC of ~330 °C. It was found that the electrical and physical characteristics of the 0.96KNN-0.03BNKLZ-0.01BS piezoceramic were comparable to those of a Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) ring ceramic. As a result of a vibration test of the IEPE accelerometer fabricated using the lead-free piezoelectric ceramic, the resonant frequency fr = 20.0 kHz and voltage sensitivity Sv = 101.1 mV/g were confirmed. The fabricated IEPE accelerometer sensor showed an excellent performance equivalent to or superior to that of a commercial IEPE accelerometer sensor based on PZT for general industrial use. A field test was carried out to verify the applicability of the fabricated sensor in an actual industrial environment. The test was conducted by simultaneously installing the developed sensor and a commercial PZT-based sensor in the ball bearing housing location of a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump was operated at 1180 RPM, and the generated vibration signals were collected and analyzed. The test results confirmed that the developed eco-friendly lead-free sensor has comparable vibration measurement capability to that of commercial PZT-based sensors.

Understanding the relationship between perceived accessibility, housing and transport equity of different types of residents: A structural equation modelling approach

This study uses structural equation modelling (SEM) to analyse the relationship between perceived accessibility, housing and transport equity and their influencing factors in Nanjing, China. It aims to address the current shortfall in studies to compare differences in perceived (rather than objective) measures of accessibility using a transport equity lens. A comparison sample of 664 affordable housing residents and 828 commercial housing residents living in different locations across the city was collected through an online survey. The research shows that affordable housing residents are in a more disadvantaged position than commercial housing residents based on their perceived accessibility, housing and transport equity evaluation results are all worse than those of commercial housing residents. Therefore, two SEM models were constructed to understand the underlying factors driving these perceptions. The results show that both housing location and transport provision significantly affect perceived accessibility, housing and transport equity. Improving people’s transport affordability is the most effective way to improve perceived accessibility, and transport equity for both groups, however, improving the housing environment is more critical for affordable housing residents, while improving housing affordability is more important for commercial housing residents.

Criminal legal system engagement among people who use drugs in Oregon following decriminalization of drug possession

BackgroundIn February 2021, Measure 110 (M110) in Oregon decriminalized noncommercial possession of drugs. We examined criminal legal system (CLS) involvement of people who use drugs (PWUD) 2 years after decriminalization. MethodsWe conducted a quantitative survey of PWUD (N=468) in eight Oregon counties between March and November 2023. We ran multivariable models to examine predictors of CLS involvement and law enforcement stops. ResultsThe majority of PWUD (74 %) reported any past year CLS involvement; 67 % had at least one law enforcement stop (mean of 11.4 and median of 3 law enforcement stops) and 33 % had at least one jail incarceration. Among PWUD whom law enforcement had found to possess drugs (n=101), 77 % had their drugs seized at least once, and 63 % (n=56) were taken into custody for charges that did not include drug use or possession at least once. Younger age, cisgender male identity, unstable housing, and nonurban county location were associated with a higher prevalence of any CLS involvement. PWUD who were unstably housed had 6.80 more law enforcement stops than housed PWUD (95 % CI: 4.03–9.57). PWUD in nonurban counties experienced 9.73 more law enforcement stops than those in urban areas (95 % CI: 4.90–14.56). No significant differences were found by race or ethnicity and CLS involvement. Only 13 % of PWUD were aware that all drugs had been decriminalized. ConclusionsDespite drug decriminalization, the majority of PWUD in our study reported significant CLS engagement and limited M110 knowledge.

Lessons learned from spatiotemporal effect of COVID on the population density in the CBD

Alonso in 1964 developed the land use and transport interaction theory based on the bid and rent concept. It tells that the central core part of urban areas has the highest housing rental prices, and it gradually decays as it is further away from the centre. The city’s district is divided based on the distribution of land prices according to distance from the city centre. This fundamental relationship provides a basic insight into how people behave rationally subject to their living budgets. Based on this relationship, this paper aims to investigate the temporal and spatial changes in the de facto population of Seoul caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The de facto population has declined significantly since 2020. A major decrease has been found in areas within 2.5 km of travel distance from the city centre. The de facto population decreased the most during the night hours (18:00–24:00) on weekdays and the daytime (10:00–18:00) on weekends. These findings could be postulated to foresee how people might select their housing locations in terms of transport costs in the post–COVID-19 era.

If You Live Right, Heaven Belongs to You

Abstract Early lectures, which became the book Prophesy Deliverance! by Cornel West, were delivered at the House of the Lord Pentecostal Church in Brooklyn, New York. The location of House of the Lord, which West argued was an exemplar of Afro-American revolutionary Christianity, demonstrates the relational and reciprocal insights Pentecostalism shares with West’s commitments to radical historicism and prophetic pragmatism. Several Black descended Pentecostals–scholars Leonard Lovett and Keri Day, and denominational leader Smallwood Williams–enact both a complex cultural analysis, and a robust social analysis. I argue Pentecostal praxis and critical reflection engage and extend West’s corpus and Black critical thought.

Understanding the Housing Acquisition Behavior of Muslim Generation Y in Malaysia: A Conceptual Framework Based on ABC Theory

House is the most important basic need for the human survival, however many people especially those who are categorised in the category of generation Y do not acquire a house due to various factors (internal salient belief factors, personal factor, and extra factor). In accordance, the volume of residential transaction and homeownership rate among youths in Malaysia has been decreasing for the past few years. It is proven as the number of residential property transaction has dropped from 272,669 transactions in 2012 to 250,586 transactions in 2023. Thus, it is important to examine the behavior of generation Y towards house acquisition in Malaysia. This study focuses on Muslim Generation Y in West Malaysia, specifically on those who have purchased a home and those who have not. The research proposes to examine the internal salient belief factors (attitude and perceived religiosity on property), personal factors (lifestyles) as well as external factors (house features, house location, financing factors, and government support) in influencing house acquisition behavior among Muslim Generation Y in Malaysia. As such, this study proposes to adapt Attitude-Behavior-Context (ABC) theory in discovering the behavior.

WEB BASED APPLICATION FOR BOARDING HOUSE SERVICE IN EKASAKTI UNIVERSITY AREA

A boarding house is one of the accommodation service providers or temporary residences consisting of several rooms, each room has facilities that have been provided by the owner of the boarding house. Searching for student boarding houses takes quite a long time and costs more to find a boarding house that suits your needs. To find information on boarding houses, students usually visit boarding houses between houses, ask local people who are close to the campus, walk around the campus and read advertisements in the mass media. The system development method used in making this final project uses the SDLC waterfall which consists of Planning, Analysis, Design and Implementation, with UML design tools consisting of Usecase Diagrams, Class Diagrams, Activity Diagrams and Sequence diagrams. In making this information system the author uses the PHP programming language, with MySQL database. This research produces a boarding house service application that can make it easier for students to search for and rent boarding houses in the Ekasakti University area. By using this information system, it is hoped that students will be helped in searching for boarding houses, because there are boarding house locations connected to Google Maps in the information system and students can make rentals, without having to directly meet the owner to make transactions, as well as several other menus. Web-based boarding house service application, which can solve the problem of difficulties for students in finding temporary housing such as boarding houses, using the SDLC development method, PHP programming language and MySQL database.

Retrospective Cohort Study of Financial Incentives for STI Testing and Treatment in an Outreach Population in Edmonton, Canada, 2018-2019.

The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) continues to increase worldwide. Patient incentives are one proposed intervention to increase STI testing and treatment. We conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing incentivized versus routine care for STI outreach test and treat services between October 2018-June 2019. Incentivized care included a $10 gift card for testing visits and an additional $10 gift card for results and/or treatment visits. Incentivized visits were offered to clients with a lack of housing, who were difficult to locate, or had a history of being lost to follow-up. All test and treatment visits included chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV testing and/or treatment by Registered Nurses and outreach workers from an STI Clinic. Outreach visits were offered at subsidized housing locations, community-based organizations, and street outreach. From October 2018 to June 2019, 2384 outreach clients were reached: 453 (19.0%) receivedincentives and 1931 (81.0%) received routine care. There were no significant differences in case-finding rates for chlamydia (4.8%), gonorrhea (2.9%), and HIV (0.1%); however, there was for syphilis (3.8% for incentivized vs. 1.9% for routine visits; p = 0.02). All newly diagnosed infections identified in the incentivized group received treatment compared with routine visits (chlamydia 100% vs. 79.1%, p = 0.008, gonorrhea 100% vs. 59.7%, p = 0.002, and syphilis 100% vs. 86.7%, p = 0.08). Incentives were associated with increased case-finding rates of syphilis and were associated with 100% treatment rates. Incentives are a promising approach to decreasing the burden of STI among outreach populations.

Perceived effects of residential design on mental well-being: A quasi-experimental study of the University of Michigan's Munger graduate residences

IntroductionResearch documents effects of residential settings on mental well-being (MWB), yet studies on graduate student housing and MWB are scarce. The University of Michigan's (UM) Munger Graduate Residences (“Munger”) building, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, offers students a central campus housing location, generous common areas, and residential units containing shared living spaces for six or seven residents who each receive their own private bedroom and bathroom. Of the building's 631 bedrooms, 87% do not have windows. MethodsThis quasi-experimental, multi-method study compared Munger (n = 124) and non-Munger (n = 132) graduate student residents’ self-reported MWB, identified design elements residents perceived to affect MWB, and explored how these design elements influenced MWB according to residents. A questionnaire was distributed virtually to 2295 UM graduate students (618 Munger residents, 1677 living elsewhere, locally) that consisted of an existing MWB scale (three subscales: Attentional Function Index, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and Social Connectedness Scale) and open-ended questions about design elements and MWB. MWB scale and subscale scores were compared for the 256 completed (of 447) responses using multiple linear regression, accounting for demographic, academic, and residential characteristics. Quantitative content analysis of 236 complete open-ended responses was used to identify and compare frequencies of design elements associated with MWB. Design elements most frequently associated with MWB were further analyzed using qualitative content analysis to understand how residents perceived design to affect MWB. ResultsWhen compared to non-Munger residents, Munger residents reported significantly lower MWB (p < .001), attentional function (p = .004), positive and negative affect (p = .001), and social connectedness (p = .002). Content analyses revealed 13 design element categories residents perceived to influence MWB. Positive MWB effects were reported for Munger's amenities and non-Munger units' amount of space for privacy and interaction. Munger residents reported more negative and fewer positive MWB effects of design than non-Munger residents. Although design elements reported to negatively affect MWB across groups primarily related to poor indoor environmental quality and control (e.g., lighting, temperature, ventilation) and social control over privacy and interaction, 75.9% of Munger (vs. 0%, non-Munger) residents reported that windowless bedrooms negatively affected MWB. ConclusionsAccording to residents, Munger's generous shared amenities and naturally lit common areas did not compensate for perceived negative MWB effects of windowless private bedrooms, inadequate indoor environmental quality, inability to control lighting, temperature, and ventilation, and high-density living with randomly-assigned roommates. Study findings have implications for designers, planners, developers, and policy makers working with future graduate student and multi-unit housing, as well as recommendations for existing housing management to support MWB.

Analisis Penerapan Metode Analytical Network Process (ANP) Pada Pemilihan Tempat Kost Terbaik di Daerah Kampus ITK

The Analytic Network Process (ANP) method is an approach that can be used to represent the level of importance from various parties by considering the interconnected relationships between criteria and sub-criteria. This model is a development of the AHP method, thus it has a higher level of complexity compared to the AHP method. In this paper, the issue addressed is the selection of the best boarding house location in the ITK campus area located at Km. 15 Karang Joang, North Balikpapan. This selection is done using the super decision software, aiming to determine the ranking order of boarding houses that have the best quality or alternatives according to the students of the Kalimantan Institute of Technology (ITK) through questionnaire filling and interviews with the students. There are three criteria used in this selection, first is the distance with sub-criteria of distance from the boarding house to the campus and distance from the boarding house to the city. Second, the price criterion with sub-criteria of monthly rent and electricity-water costs, and others. Third, the facilities criterion with sub-criteria of bathroom, parking, and kitchen. As for the alternatives, 10 boarding houses are used. Based on the research results, the alternative solutions obtained are ranked in the top 3 boarding houses. The first is Kos Maghfiroh, the second is Kos Hira, and the third is Kos Griya Mansur

Kualitas Bangunan, Fasilitas, dan Lokasi Perumahan sebagai Faktor Penentu Tingkat Kepuasan Penghuni

This study aims to explore the role of building quality, facilities, and housing location in determining the level of occupant satisfaction. Using quantitative methods with SEM-Smart PLS analysis techniques, this study analyzes primary and secondary data collected from residents of several housing complexes. The analysis results indicate that housing location significantly affects occupant satisfaction, while building quality and facilities do not show a statistically significant effect. These findings underline the importance of selecting a strategic location in housing development to improve occupant satisfaction. This study suggests that developers pay more attention to the location aspect in housing planning and development to achieve optimal levels of occupant satisfaction. Thus, the results of this study can be a reference for stakeholders in developing policies and strategies to improve housing quality
