A total o f 163 householders in a squatter resettlement in Salak Selatan, Kuala Lumpur, were randomly selected and interviewed to assess their satisfaction and aspiration towards their houses. Most o f the families (807c) had improved and enlarged the original units, as the City Hall had suggested, but the level o f housing satisfaction was found to be moderate. Dissatisfaction was due to poorly designed floor plans, lack of space and specific types of rooms. The aspirations o f the respondents appeared to be realistic. Many them indicated an awareness o f the importance o f having more bedrooms as the size o f the family increases. They found the single storey terrace housing suitable, but wanted additional types of rooms. Most o f the respondents considered the area good for living and only a minority complained about environmental conditions. On the basis of the comments o f the respondents suggestions are made for improving future housing projects.
