A field study was done to evaluate the consistency of neighbourhood facilities and services of the LCH with the housing needs of the target group. The main instrument in primary data collection was using a survey method utilizing structured questionnaires. Around 325 household heads for six flat-type low cost housing programs in Kuala Terengganu were involved in this study. Results showed that residents are dissatisfied with neighbourhood facilities.
