Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 國家政策與公共事務研究所 === 101 === The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. Recently the housing prices kept rocketing; the government tried all means to stabilize the price. However, the effectiveness of these means is poor. The Taipei Metropolitan Area''s housing prices are still too high, causing many underprivileged people can''t afford to buy a house, and then they just only rent a house to live. Furthermore, due to lack of social inclusion for poverty, which also led to the disadvantaged minority are easy to be discriminated in the rental process. The aforementioned is the reason why government built social housing to solve the housing problem. Although the policy goal of social housing is considered with good intention, it still exists some problem in the policy itself. Social housing is an innovation in Taiwan, it is similar to renting public housing, but related research pointed out that the public housing policy is not successful in implementation, leading to people have a stereotype of "Not in My Back Yard." Therefore, the government should put more effort and focus on this issue, developing some policies to meet people’s housing needs, and only by providing social housing can get their quality of life better. Overall, this research raises some suggestions about social housing policy and relevant adjustments, including the rental market, social welfare measures and social values.
