Abstract

House and housing is a long-lasting, multi-dimensional, very expensive commodity full of symbolic values as the icons of dignity and life conditions. So, this study aims to estimate the degree of house availability to different groups in Hormozgan Province, so that the decisionmakers, policy-makers and managers may mostly focus on housing problems for the social classes with low income. This is an applied study that uses a descriptive-analytic method. The geographic area covers the political-official limits of Hormozgan Province in 2006. The statistical data are provided from Statistical Center of Iran. The findings of this study reveal that the first decile in Hormozgan Province enjoyed a mean building area of 65.8 m² in 2006. This was 72.7 m², 89.5 m², 87.6 m², 86.8 m², 96.7 m², 101.9 m², 107.6 m², 106.7 m² and 119.8 m² for the second to the tenth deciles, respectively. The highest mean for the building area of residential units belongs to the tenth decile. The highest index for house availability belongs to the income groups of the self-employed people, and then the employees of the public, private and cooperative sectors with the availability indices of 3.05, 2.93, 0.08, respectively. The lowest level of private house availability belongs to the employers of the cooperative sector. For the self-employed sector, the lowest availability index belongs to the agricultural division with the level of 0.21.
