Abstract

The construction method in developing countries is different from that in developed countries. Afghanistan, being a developing country, has faced enormous urban problems. This paper studies the prevalent construction methods in Kabul city. It explains how the apartment housing is built without the involvement of professionals. Additionally, it analyses the problems of apartment housing by using the post-occupancy evaluation methodology. The data collected from the interviews and questionnaire survey, as well as a survey of the physical measurement and observation of the houses, revealed that there was a high level of dissatisfaction with the typical houses built by the constructor.
