Abstract
Terraced house modification has been a trend in recent years. It has been done
excessively either with or without consent from the local authorities. However, there
are no proper steps taken to overcome this problem. The reason is that terraced house
modification has become a necessity for the resident to cater for the growing number
of household. Therefore, a research is done in studying the level of modification and
the household’s preference in terms of resident’s personality, tastes, interest,
lifestyle, values and social status. The site of study is selected in Melaka Tengah. The
data collection technique includes observation, questionnaire surveys and
unstructured interview. The site of study includes Taman Sungai Udang, Taman Seri
Jati, Taman Seri Cempaka, Taman Paya Rumput Indah, Taman Merbok, Taman Desa
Duyung, Taman Cheng Jaya, Taman Bukit Rambai, Taman Aman and Taman Alai
Perdana. The data is analysed using descriptive statistical analysis to obtain the
demographic profile of the respondents. Regression Analysis is used to analyse
‘space’ and ‘reasons for modification’ to justify the dependent variable which is the
‘perception of modification outcome’. Chi square tests are used to establish the
relationships between the variables. Result from the study shows that the most
modified space includes kitchen, car porch, master bedroom, bathroom 1, front lawn
and bedroom 1. There is a relationship between reasons for modification among
aspects of ‘number of household’, ‘household income’, ‘number of children’,
‘number of years residing’, ‘number of bedrooms’, ‘number of vehicles’ and ‘floor
plan status.
