CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG 香港城市大學 A Study on the Fire Safety Management of Public Rental Housing in Hong Kong 香港公共房屋消防安全管理制度之探討 Submitted to Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering 土木及建築工程系 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Engineering Doctorate 工程學博士學位 by Yeung Cho Hung 楊楚鴻 September 2012 二零一二年九月 i Abstract of dissertation entitled: A Study on the Fire Safety Management of Public Rental Housing in Hong Kong submitted by YEUNG CHO HUNG for the degree of Engineering Doctorate in Civil and Architectural Engineering at The City University of Hong Kong in September, 2012. ABSTRACT At the end of the Pacific War, there were a large number of refugees flowing into Hong Kong from the Mainland China. Many of them lived in illegal squatter areas. In 1953, a big fire occurred in Shek Kip Mei squatter area which rendered these people homeless. The disastrous fire embarked upon the long term public housing development in Hong Kong. Today, the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA) which was established pursuant to the Housing Ordinance is charged with the responsibility to develop and implement a public housing programme in meeting the housing needs of people who cannot afford private rental housing. It is always a big challenge for the HKHA to manage and maintain a large portfolio of residential properties which were built across several decades under different architectural standards and topology.
