Question

what is an apartment and how far it is needed.what is the need of selecting it as thesis topic

Answer 1

Apartment has different meanings, but I usually consider an apartment as a place with it own sleeping, kitchen, and bathroom.

In the area I live in they are used mostly for housing by people who consider in a temporary or a part-time arrangement.

I got an garden apartment which was in walking distances to work and some stores and lived without a car for about six months after taking a job in a new area.

If you are single, want to live alone, just need a place to relax, eat, sleep, and for personal hygene especially for temporary or parttime housing a apartment can be a good choice.

Answer 2

An apartment can be pretty large - several rooms/bedrooms - or a one-bedroom place, in which case cost and housing limits would be a factor in selecting one. The main thing is that it generally lacks a garden and is a multi-story construction. There could be a roof garden with potted shrubs. It can incur maintenance charges and security charges, and usually the complex involves some management; by a company or by the residents themselves. Lifts need replacing; mailboxes also; the grounds need landscaping. A shared pool will also need shared maintenance. Retirement villages of smaller houses are also set up this way. A co-op can impose rules such as mandatory area to be covered by sound-muffling carpet, thickness of carpeting, size of pets allowed, what can be done on balconies(bbqs, plants), etc.

Well, many people have sold their houses and moved into one. They are tired of having to garden, don't keep dogs or cats, or need the extra money to live or help their family. Others prefer city life, and don't need to run a car also - or they find a house too large for them, even though the apartment may cost the same upfront.

In some areas and situations, the whole complex is called an enclave, with gates, and all the residents have something in common - for example, where police or army families, (or celebrities) choose to be together in one safe building for security reasons, whether by nature of their careers, because a civil war is ongoing, or because they are concerned about their children being kidnapped. It's easier in some ways to protect a block than detached houses.

So generally an apartment is more customised & purpose-built than a house.

You could start by looking at age profiles - whether an apartment is for a first-time buyer aspiring to a house, a mature homeowner who is downsizing, a company investing in temporary accomodation for staff who are moved around a lot, or a landlord investing in one or more to rent out.

Answer 3

An apartment is a dwelling for people, apartments or flats are high rise buildings which house multiple tenants. As a thesis in itself I don't know but if you were to consider what living in an apartment does to people who don't have gardens, open space or who's buildings have degenerated so badly that they should be pulled down then yes high density housing is definitely worth considering.

Answer 4

It's a place to live.

Some people are renters, others are owners.

Apartments are for renters....it's temporary in feeling. Renters don't feel trapped since they could move at any time without all the hoopla of selling and buying a new place.

Answer 5

What I like about this question is you can replace apartment with any noun and ask it again. It's the perfect stupid question because you can recycle it.
eg: What is a pizza? The need for a pizza?
See what I did there? I made myself seem more intelligent than you by using capital letters where they belong.
