释义

名词

由政府建造的面积小于50平方公尺的住宅单位。

DEFINITION

Noun

Public residential units built by the Government with an area of less than 50 square metres.

 

由来
  • 英语 “studio apartment” 的意译。
  • 1977年,新加坡政府首次推出小型公寓。第一批小型公寓位于彰思礼巷 (Chancery Lane)。
  • 小型公寓初期的数量并不大。例如,1983至1986年之间所兴建的5,630个公共住房单位中,仅有91个是小型公寓。
  • 尽管如此,政府建造的小型公寓的需求仍居高不下,原因包括:
    1. 价格实惠;
    2. 打理较小的面积更方便。
  • 初期的小型公寓位于较偏远的地段,但随着近年来的发展,地点越来越好,设备越加完善,附近的交通设施也更方便。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term is a paraphrase of the English term “studio apartment”.
  • In 1977, the Government launched studio apartments for the first time, with the first batch built at Chancery Lane.
  • There were very few studio apartments built initially. For example, studio apartments accounted for only 91 of the 5,630 public housing units built between 1983 and 1986.
  • Despite this, the demand for the HDB-built studio apartments remained high. This was due to the following:
    1. Studio apartments were affordable;
    2. The smaller units required less housekeeping and were therefore easier to maintain.
  • The first studio apartments were located in relatively remote areas. In recent years, studio apartments have become more favourably located, with better facilities and greater accessibility via public transport.
