Abstract

The persistent issue of vacant teachers' quarters in Malaysia's East Coast Region has raised serious concerns regarding their management, maintenance, and overall liveability. This study seeks to evaluate the facilities of these quarters through a questionnaire survey, aiming to identify key factors influencing occupancy rates. A quantitative research approach is employed, incorporating descriptive analysis, frequency tables, the Relative Importance Index (RII), and Spearman’s Rho correlation to analyse responses. The survey examines various aspects of the quarters' facilities, including housing conditions, available amenities, security features, accessibility, and overall maintenance quality. Findings indicate that poor maintenance, outdated infrastructure, inadequate security measures, and insufficient amenities are major contributors to low occupancy rates. The study also explores the correlation between facility conditions and teachers’ willingness to reside in these quarters, highlighting the need for regular maintenance, enhanced security, and modernized living spaces to improve occupancy. By addressing these challenges, this study aims to support the development of a more sustainable and conducive housing environment for educators.
