Abstract

This study aims to provide guidelines for public-private sector collaboration in housing projects for low-income earners in Thailand. Using document research and expert interviews, it delves into the complexities of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the housing sector. The research looks into successful international examples from Singapore, Japan, the US, and the UK, noted for their effective PPP housing initiatives. It outlines major challenges like regulatory barriers and financial constraints, alongside successful strategies such as stakeholder collaboration and innovative financing. Recommendations are made for a solid policy framework, innovative financing mechanisms, and enhanced stakeholder involvement to support PPPs in creating sustainable, affordable housing for low-income groups in Thailand. The study also suggests improving act management, integration, and implementation by merging related agencies into a single ministry.
