Building Regulations Assessment in Terms of Affordability Values. Towards Sustainable Housing Supplying in Palestine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Achieving a sustainable supply of affordable housing is a strategic aim for the sustainable development of each country.This study highlights the relationship between local building regulations and the sustainable supply of affordable housing in Palestine.To do so, the paper assesses the building regulations in terms of achieving affordability in housing design.Thus, an assessment framework was developed based on learning from traditional design which proved to cover three values of affordability: collectivity, sharing, and diversity, as well as several factors of changes related to each of these values.The research data were collected through a survey of the opinion of 30 experts in the field of designing and building affordable housing in three main Palestinian cities: Nablus, Ramallah, and Jenin.The results showed that the need for values of affordability increases at the urban level compared to the single-building level.The paper's main finding is to establish an approach for a sustainable supply of affordable housing based on collectivity, sharing, and diversity.This approach can be a highpotential step for achieving sustainable development in Palestine.Therefore, several affordability-encouraging suggestions were made for improving the building regulations in Palestine based on the results of the paper.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
