Preliminary Survey on Factors Influencing Gated Community Living

The gated community is becoming a popular residential among the urban population. The reason for a gated community in Malaysia generally emphasizes the need for a safer community in the surrounding area. However, certain gated and guarded communities in Malaysia contribute more than security. Therefore, this research will investigate further the factors influencing gated community living. A survey was conducted, and findings reveal ten factors influencing gated community living that should be paid serious attention by the developers before the development of gated communities was approved.
