High degree of social interaction, being a major component of social sustainability, is crucial in ensuring development that best suits the civil society evolution. Perbadanan PR1MA Malaysia (PR1MA) is one of the major developer in Malaysia that emphasise on providing affordable housing. However, typical solutions unbacked by any significant social feasibility study are usually employed for the design. As large proportion of the population inhabiting these affordable vertical housing schemes, it is of paramount importance to ensure they are socially sustainable. This study aims to enhance Malaysia’s affordable vertical housing social sustainability aspect. The objectives are to identify the variables of social interaction in vertical housing; to evaluate the degree of social interaction in the case study; and to establish connection between all the developed variables of social interaction. For the purposes of this study, a survey on the case study, based on the variables developed through literature review, is conducted using questionnaires and observation. The results reveal that PR1MA Precinct 11 demonstrates a moderate degree of social interaction, with mean value of 1.84 on a scale of 1 (low) to 3 (high). The significant finding is the social interaction has a direct relationship with all social variables, while has an indirect relationship with all physical and spatial variables.
