Abstract :

Housing and its provision has always been one of the most important issues of urban management for low-income urban groups from past to present. It seems that applied policies in this context were not appropriate enough because of the disproportionate economic and social conditions of low-income groups. The objective of this study was to analyze the implementation of hire purchase housing policy in Alborz province (Karaj city) and its role in meeting the quantitative and qualitative needs of target groups. This study was quantitative–analytical. The data were collected through library studies and survey method through questionnaire and interview tools. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS statistical software by descriptive and inferential (one sample t test and two independent t test) methods. The results show hire-purchase housing policy generally failed to meet the required quantitative and qualitative needs of supplying of supplying house for target groups and the residents were not satisfied with the Terms of assignment, physical housing quality and access to urban services and facilities and only access to police services has provided satisfaction with them.
