Comparison of Housing Facility Management between Mainland China and Taiwan Region
Publication: Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities
Volume 29, Issue 4
Abstract
Recently, mainland China has experienced the fastest urbanization in the world; however, the development of structural regulations regarding facility management (FM) services for housing is relatively recessive. As a result, disputes and conflicts in facility management of the private housing sector have become a serious problem in urban communities, affecting social sustainable development of the building industry. Comparatively, the private housing FM system in the urban areas in the Taiwan region was developed much earlier; thus, it is more advanced and mature than that in mainland China. This paper intends to compare the FM sectors between the two regions to provide suggestions for improving the service quality of the FM system in mainland China.
