Description
Summary:Housing is one of the most important basic necessities of human life next to food. The activity in housing does not meet the demands of increasing populations, with the result that today every country is facing a serious housing problem particularly in urban areas. It is an actual fact that the need for housing, particularly of people of low income in urban areas such as Bangkok, has reached a high level. The significance of this can be seen from the steady growth of housing projects, but most of them are not perfectly suited to satisfy the needs of the people sufficiently. In the country of Thailand as a whole this causes many problems, and especially in Bangkok where the problem has been more serious than in the other provinces.
