Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the liveability conditions in gated and non-gated low middle income
communities in Kuala Lumpur where rapid urban growth has led to many disruptions in the urban living
environment. Hence, a livability framework was developed with dimensions from housing condition,
economic condition, functional environment, social relations and community safety towards achieving
the research objectives of – a) to study the liveability level in gated and non-gated communities, b) to
compare the level of liveability between gated and non-gated communities, and c) to determine the
dimensions and indicators which influence the level of liveability in both communities. Residents’ views
were collected through a questionnaire survey which consisted of twenty-four indicators of liveability
belonging to five dimensions from three communities in Kuala Lumpur. Two communities belong to
non-gated and one community had gated living status. The findings of the research revealed that gated
community has a better living conditions compared to the non-gated community. Thus, this research
can be used as a turning point to improve the living environment of both gated and non-gated
community
