The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has greatly endangered public health and life safety, leading to new changes in people's housing needs. The purpose of this study is to establish design strategies that are suitable for China's Multi-Unit Residential Buildings (MURBs) in the post-pandemic era, and to identify the users' preferences for these strategies. This study compiles a set of design requirements by means of a literature review and expert interviews. Three hundred ninety-five online and on-site questionnaires, based on the refined Kano model, were distributed to respondents to reveal their preferences for these strategies. The relationship between the different demographic variables, the preferences of design strategies, as well as the housing unit preferences of home-buyers were also verified by means of an actual project. This study summarizes the four dimensions and 26 design strategies of MURBs in China during the post-pandemic era. These strategies are further extracted into 6 highly attractive, 5 high-value-added and 4 critical quality attributes. In terms of demographic variables, males need more social space, and the elderly need less office space and separate bathrooms in the master bedroom. Due to the impact of the epidemic, people with higher education levels are more required to work at home, and the overall demand for a home working environment is also higher. The home-buyers' preference survey reveals that the housing unit designed based on the refined Kano model is more attractive to home-buyers. The proposed approach can help to provide important and customized decisions to design firms, housing developers, and the government for MURBs planning and strategy formulation in the post-pandemic era in China. More in-depth user surveys in other regions and investigations into the cost assessment of these strategies might be further conducted in the future.
新冠疫情的突然爆发极大地危及了公众健康和生命安全，导致人们的住房需求发生了新的变化。本研究旨在为中国多单元住宅建筑（MURB）在后疫情时代建立适合的设计策略，并确定用户对这些策略的偏好。本研究通过文献回顾和专家访谈编制了一套设计要求。基于细化的 Kano 模型，向 395 名在线和现场受访者分发了 395 份在线和现场问卷，以揭示他们对这些策略的偏好。还通过实际项目验证了不同人口统计学变量、设计策略偏好以及购房者对住房单元的偏好之间的关系。本研究总结了中国后疫情时代 MURB 的四个维度和 26 个设计策略。这些策略进一步被提取为 6 个高度有吸引力、5 个高附加值和 4 个关键质量属性。在人口统计学变量方面，男性需要更多的社交空间，老年人需要主卧中更少的办公空间和独立浴室。由于疫情的影响，文化程度较高的人更需要在家工作，对家庭办公环境的整体需求也更高。购房者偏好调查显示，基于细化的 Kano 模型设计的住房单元对购房者更具吸引力。所提出的方法可以为设计公司、住房开发商和政府在后疫情时代的中国 MURB 规划和战略制定提供重要的定制决策。未来可能会在其他地区进行更深入的用户调查，并对这些策略的成本评估进行调查。
