Examination of reorganization plan of public housing in large city based on data of households moving in each building—Considering the ease of moving to a neighborhood and reconstruction costs.

A method for formulating a rational reorganizing plan was examined. The first approach involved statistically determining the reorganization priority, which was applied to all public housing residential buildings in Kobe city to confirm its effectiveness. The second approach entailed creating a program that automatically ranks all combinations of housing units under consideration for reorganization, based on the required reconstruction costs and the potential for reducing the number of dwelling units and buildings. When this program was applied in the area, it yielded combinations of housing units that could reorganize more dwelling units at a lower cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
