Abstract
This paper discusses fuel poverty in urban regeneration areas, as regeneration activites aim to improve socio-economic and structural conditions. Low Income High Cost method is adopted to assess fuel poverty, and a logistic regression is conducted to determine the factors affecting fuel poverty. The results indicate that fuel poverty level among households living in urban regeneration areas is 11.7%. Structural and design components such as aspect, size, heating duration and heating system, alongside global socio-economic factors like household size, employed households, and young children in the household appear to be influential on fuel poverty level. Structural and design factors can be addressed in future regeneration activities, while broader socio-economic factors require complex and large-scale interventions to deal with fuel poverty.
