Gated residential developments (GRDs) – Residential landscape – Satisfaction – Sustainable Landscape – Water-efficient landscaping |
| |
In gated residential developments, it was believed that the waning provision of well-landscaped open spaces including man-made lakes, swimming pools and golf courses, have all added to Egypt’s water woes consuming an overwhelming amount of much needed water, a valuable resource highly appreciated in arid zones. ِAlso, lack of peoples’ understanding of ecology remains major obstacles to achieving more sustainable residential landscapes.
The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, using a hypothetical framework, the present study provides insights about sustainability awareness and residents’ satisfaction in gated residential developments. Secondly, it aims at presenting new evidences; through descriptive and inferential analyses of a Resident Satisfaction Survey, a key principle relating to satisfaction in residential developments has been identified. That is: the need to encourage residents’ participation in management process to ensure maximizing their satisfaction.
Here, the study attempted to understand the relationship between residential landscape management and satisfaction, which is a perceptual construct of residents, then using residents’ participation in landscape management in order to enhance the understanding of sustainability concepts and the implementation of sustainability measures. It will conclude with a brief summary of some of the main points highlighted and provide insight for planning and managing of residential landscapes to improve both landscape sustainability and residents’ satisfaction. |
