Abstract
Poverty eradication in Malaysia has been one of the fundamental objectives of New Economic Policy (NEP) since 1971. The level of urbanization has rapidly increased from 34.2% in 1980 and goes up to 71% in 2010, which contribute to urban poverty. With the increase of the urban population, the housing supply in the urban area contrarily decreases. As most countries’ prime concern in urban development concept lies on the scarcity of land, this study embarks to focus on the abundance of undeveloped Waqf land in Malaysia. Therefore, this study will be focusing on the development of affordable housing on Waqf land, which will cater to the urban poor. The objective of this study is to establish a development framework for affordable housing on Waqf land. To develop the framework, a critical evaluation will be conducted in the existing development framework from various perspectives in order to form a conceptual framework. Semi-structured interview will be carried out to test the conceptual framework. The respondents will be among the expert in their own field which is developers, officers from Waqf Departments, as well as legislators. The interviews will be transcribed and undergo qualitative and quantitative content analysis process in order to come up with emerging features for the proposed development framework. The proposed development framework is intended to solve three targeted issues in this country, namely urban poor, affordable housing, and Waqf land. The Development Framework for Affordable Housing on Waqf land is expectedly to cater to increase housing supply for the urban poor and development opportunity of the Waqf land.
