Abstract

The present study aims to introduce a suitable housing investment model in Ahvaz city based on barriers and incentive policies. The present study is applied in terms of purpose, exploratory-explanatory in nature, and descriptive-analytical in terms of implementation method. Documentary and field studies and interviews with experts (Delphi method) were used to collect data. Content analysis method and ATLAS TI software were used to analyze the data. Based on the findings the most important challenges and obstacles to achieve the desired housing investment model are environmental issues and water and drought crises. On the other hand, some policies and opportunities such as changing the way real estate firms receive transaction fees to a fixed transaction fee, acquiring brownfield land, and transferring their warehouse and industrial sectors outside the city limits to create the city's internal capacity for housing development are policies and opportunities that, if implemented and recognized, can somehow control the housing market. While in other countries there are various criteria for appropriate housing location; one of the most successful ones is affordability criteria. In these criteria, in addition to physical criteria, attention is also paid to social, cultural, and ecological sustainability of supportive complexes, improving the quality of life of residents, and ultimately establishing spatial social justice.
