Title: Potentiality and residents perception on green roof retrofit solutions for existing townhouses in Ho Chi Minh City
Authors: Phan The Ngoc 
Keywords: Green roof;Residential buildings

Abstract: 
This thesis will explore the potentiality and residents’ perception on GR retrofitting solutions for existing roofs of residential buildings in HCMC. In order to accomplish such research work, a series of research methodologies have been used. By site surveys from the GR technology market to the current state of housing roofs in a typical neighborhood, the paper proposes appropriate GR retrofit solutions. Then conducting visual preference interviews, the paper presents residents' perceptions through their favorite GR solutions but also their views on the benefits and barriers to GR implementation. In general, residents have favorable views of GR solutions and attracted by the benefits of planting on the roof. However, the unfamiliarity with the GR information and the high cost for GR applications are the biggest obstacles for them in making investment decisions. To overcome these barriers, policies and programs that encourage GR implementation are suggested by the author in order to seek green alley ideas that are more feasible in the future
