Methodology for selection of sustainability criteria: A case of social housing in Peru

Abstract

In Peru, the appearance of the MiVivienda Sostenible Bonus has brought to light the concern for sustainability in social housing, and this issue should be understood with a perspective of the satisfaction of the users’ needs. This research analyzed nine projects of companies interested in acquiring this subsidy between 2015 and 2016, by evaluating the sustainability criteria applied and proposing a list of criteria that can be applied to the social housing projects of the Peruvian coast. The impact of research is positive, allowing students and professionals to work with a local referent and to use it as a basis for future research in the area.
