Formulation of housing imaginations with Soft Systems-based worksheets

Formulation of housing imaginations with Soft Systems-based worksheets: an exercise on public housing

The purpose of the exercise is to sensitize the analyst on various aspects on a housing imagination topic, e.g. public housing, to come up with a range of housing imaginations on a topic, e.g. public housing. The exercise is informed by the soft systems methodology of P.B. Checkland, notably the rich-picture building technique. The concepts noted in the checklist is reported in the mind-mapping article of JKK Ho.


Exhibit 0: basic idea on rich-picture in soft systems methodology

This rich-picture idea promotes awareness of soft complexity on a problem-situation involving a housing theme in a housing imagination investigation.


Exhibit 1: master soft systems-based checklist form of ideas to study housing imaginations

There will be a separate worksheet for each category of ideas as identified in Exhibit 1, i.e., on problem situation, stakeholders' concerns, stakeholders' conflicts and constraints, and practices (existing and recommended). Finally, a mind-mapping view on a specific housing imagination (e.g. public housing) is portrayed to informs the formulation of a range of housing imaginations for a Housing Imagination investigation.
