Housing Assessment Tools Developed or Adapted for Use in East and Southeast Asia : A Scoping Review

Tsuchiya-Ito, Rumiko LU ; Tajima, Miki and Slaug, Björn LU orcid (2021) In Journal of Aging and Environment 35(3). p.225-248
Abstract

An overview of housing assessment tools developed or adapted for research use in East and Southeast Asia is currently lacking. A scoping review was conducted to address this knowledge gap. PubMed, Web of Science and CINAHL were searched for relevant scientific literature, and 22 articles were selected. Besides study-specific checklists, two assessment tools validated for use in Asia and three validated in other countries were identified. The tools were limited in scope and mostly concerned potential injury hazards. Issues such as indoor temperature and housing accessibility also need to be included to comprehensively assess the home environment in Asian countries.
