| description | This study focuses on the evolving dynamics of home renovation in Dubai, particularly in The Springs community. It explores the transition from new constructions to renovations in the construction sector, motivated by economic, environmental, and market factors. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was utilized to assess user preferences in renovations. A survey conducted among residents of The Springs gauged renovation priorities, examining cost, performance, design, and planning aspects. Results indicated cost as a significant factor in renovation decisions. Still, combined elements of building performance (13.49% for Building Envelope Performance and 15.21% for MEP Performance), planning (11.27% for Space Optimization), and design (5.16% for Interior Design) also proved crucial. The study found a strong preference for optimizing space (48.8% importance in architectural planning) and interior design (66.2% importance in design aspects). Economic factors like construction cost and building value enhancement were also highlighted, with construction cost accounting for 32.9% and an increase in building value for 31.7% in cost considerations. The findings emphasize the need for a user-centric approach in renovations, integrating economic viability with performance, planning, and design enhancements. The study suggests architects and developers should consider these diverse user preferences and sustainable practices in renovation planning. The research advocates for comprehensive renovation strategies that balance economic, functional, and aesthetic aspects. The insights from this study are pertinent for guiding future renovation strategies in Dubai, ensuring renovations meet user needs and market trends. |
