This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional housing management is of growing importance in Hong Kong and the "Hong Kong management model" is adopted in many neighbouring high-density cities. However, there has been by far no literature on the subject of housing management practices in Hong Kong. This book is therefore crucial in understanding how housing management makes significant contributions to the safety, viability, liveability and vibrancy of our high-density and high-rise environment. Since the late 1980s, housing education in this city has developed by leaps and bounds. A recent study found that over 3,000 junior practitioners would be seeking professional training or further study for career advancement. This book is an indispensable aid to self-study or taught courses.

Abstract: In Hong Kong, residential and related housing matters entail one of the social conflict issues as pointed out by Chiu and Lai (1995). Establishing a united environment among residential estate might therefore be a solution and one of the essential aspects in community building. Apart from this, in response to the rapid changing society and the ever-increasing demand from citizens, diverse types of private residential properties are formed which the adopted management practices are far different from the others. These diverse types of management practices might probably be resulting in the divergent level of social cohesiveness among groups. Macro-wise, the integration of Hong Kong and Mainland China since 1997 has greatly influenced Hong Kong in terms of cultural, economical and political, which has brought diversity in the society and social conflicts. As increasing numbers of occupants in the private residential estates are from China, property management practitioners might be able to play an important role in enhancing the overall cohesiveness by adopting appropriate building management practices which can not only build up the loyalty among the residents and also minimize the cultural conflicts. A high level of residents' cohesion will also help in enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency in managing the properties to establish an enjoyable living environment. Thus, it is worthwhile to review the level of social cohesion in different private residential estates so as to explore the effective building management practices in favour of enhancing social cohesiveness. Over the past decade, property management is no longer simply maintaining the operation of the property and ensuring security of the residents, it has become a customer service industry which always emphasizing on exceeding users' expectations and providing satisfaction both to the landlords and tenants so as to increase the property value. This study will look into three types of management practices, from reactive to proactive, from operational to customer-focused and from direct management by caretakers to with support from professional management entities in order to identify the relationship between management practices and understand the level of social cohesiveness among Hong Kong private residential estates. This study will also help property management practitioners to understand the impact of management practices in favour of enhancing social cohesiveness and also review their current practices.

Abstract: I have been working in the property management field for 5 years, I have come across many challenges and problems which are require us to spend a lot of cost, time, and resources to solve and to deal with. I have found that those challenges and problems are mostly caused by the defects and design faults in the planning and design of the estate which arising my interested and curious about why the planning and design of the mass private housing estates can cause so much problems and challenges nowadays towards out the property management practices. It is a bit pity to say that during the research, I have found many of the housing managers are having the same thought with me and since housing managers are selfdom to be invited to participate in the developer's project team meeting. That is the main reason why the planning and design of the mass housing estate will create many challenges and problems to the management team as well as to the residents. It is because they are lacking someone who knows the best of the end uses' preferences and operations to give them practical comments for the planning and design of the development. In this research, you will be able to see how the planning and design of the mass private housing estate can impact the property management practices and the importance of having housing managers to join in the project team in the planning and design stage of the estate development.
