For the sustainable housing construct, the mean scores of all its indicators revealed that respondents regarded the indicators as important, since their mean scores are above the categories of less important (?2) and neutral (?3). The low standard deviations (i.e. SD?<?1.000) for most of the indicators reveal a high level of consistency among the respondents in rating the indicators. The ?corrected item-total correlation? and ?Cronbach's alpha if item deleted? were estimated for only indicators of the sustainable housing construct. These statistics are relevant for assessing the contribution of each indicator to the content validity of the sustainable housing construct [64]. The overall Cronbach's alpha of the CSC is 0.876, which is > the threshold (i.e. 0.700). This further supports the relevance of all the sustainable housing CSC.This paper forms part of a research project entitled ?Affordable Housing Supply: A Comparative Study between Developed and Developing Economies?, from which other deliverables have been produced with different objectives but sharing common background and methodology.
