Abstract: One of the issues in land use planning today is jobs-housing balance. Like most other developing countries, Bangladesh fails to manage the balance between job and housing capacity and this situation is worse in Chittagong City. Our objectives in this paper are twofold. Firstly, we calculate the job-housing ratio to understand the job-housing scenario in the study area. Secondly, we identify the causes behind the imbalanced ratio, as well its impacts on employees. Using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), we identify the causes and rank them based on employees' perception.
