Abstract
Ageing in place in strata housing is becoming an aspiration among the elderly in Malaysia, especially in Klang Valley. Accordingly, multiple stakeholders have different roles in providing strata housing for the elderly to age in place. By using thematic analysis, the qualitative analysis analyses their roles in providing strata housing for the elderly to age in place, from different points of view. Fifteen stakeholders from multiple disciplines took part in the interview. Analysis of the interview identified 3 major themes. These themes were Planning, Approvals and Passion. These themes evidenced the importance of stakeholders’ roles in strata housing attributes for the elderly to age in place. Explicitly, they demonstrated greater awareness of the importance of strata housing attributes for ageing in place. This research paper demonstrated that states and local governments, as well as private sectors, are preparing for the rapid ageing of the Malaysian population. With this shared understanding, states and local governments, as well as private sectors, can better support those who aim to age in place in strata housing. © 2022 by MIP.
