Consumer preference surveys can provide valuable information on which to base the planning and development of housing for groups with special needs. The authors describe a survey that explored the housing histories, problems, needs, and preferences of a sample of 38 chronically homeless women contacted in metropolitan Toronto hostels and drop-in centers. Despite having multiple mental and physical health problems, the women showed a strong preference for a normal, independent living situation. However, they acknowledged the need for a range of supportive services to maintain themselves in such a situation. The women strongly opposed being housed in settings with mentally ill persons, with alcohol or drug abusers, and with those involved in criminal activities.
消费者偏好调查可以提供有价值的信息,作为为有特殊需求群体规划和开发住房的依据。作者描述了一项调查,该调查探究了在大多伦多地区的收容所和救助中心接触到的38名长期无家可归女性样本的住房经历、问题、需求和偏好。尽管这些女性有多种身心健康问题,但她们强烈倾向于正常、独立的生活环境。然而,她们承认需要一系列支持性服务来维持这种生活状态。这些女性强烈反对与精神疾病患者、酗酒或吸毒者以及参与犯罪活动的人住在同一环境中。
