The following phenomenon is common in the condominium communities in Taiwan: a building development project includes different products (i.e., buildings or houses) with a variety of floor area measures. This housing mix implies a social mix where homebuyers' living standards and backgrounds are different. The heterogeneous social characteristics of the residents might lead to difficulties in managing and maintaining a community. The present study has selected the condominium communities in Taipei, which are governed by the Taipei City Construction Management Office, as the research subject. Through the analysis of the communities, this study has attempted to build the “housing mix index" and has explored whether the housing mix would affect the performance and satisfaction of the community management and maintenance from the perspectives of community conflict, community consciousness and community involvement. The results of this study show that the builders' strategy regarding the housing mix has had an indirect and negative impact on community management and maintenance. This implies that the housing mix has neither resolved social problems, such as community consciousness and community involvement, nor benefited community management and maintenance. Consequently, builders' building plans regarding the housing mix have greatly influenced community management and maintenance. |
