Abstract : Rapid urbanization had occurred mostly in developing countries globally. This has caused urban sprawl and
transform rural agricultural land into new urban, which is dominated by housing areas to serve the growing population in
most metropolitan cities. As the housing prices increase in cities, people tends to choose residential location outside of the
city center, which is in suburban or periphery where residential cost are lower. As the residential is the start and ending point
of the daily movement and journey, residential location influence the social, economic and environmental factors in
sustainable development. Social sustainability is one of the essential dimension in sustainable development. It can be
defined as the ability to accommodate and provide an environment that is conducive, compatible and act as a viable space for
human interaction, communication and cultural development for current and future generations to come. In modelling
Residential Location Choice (RLC), the decision of residential location will affect the mobility patterns and the costs
involved. Many researchers focused on the decision of residential location by considering the determinants of RLC but
minor attention has been given to the potentials of lifecycle factors in RLC and ensuring sustainable development,
particularly in social sustainability. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the influence of lifecycle factors on the
determinants of RLC. Then, this paper aims to address the gap by investigate the potentials for ensuring social sustainability
by the inclusion of lifecycle factors in modelling RLC. From the result, we can conclude that there are significant connection
and potentials of the inclusion of modelling RLC in achieving social sustainability. Furthermore, ensuring social
sustainability can be enhanced by paying extra attention to the determinants of RLC that influenced by the lifecycle factors.
This review will enable a deeper understanding on how lifecycle factors are essentials and highly need to take into
consideration in modelling RLC in order for planners and practitioners to make better plan for human settlement in cities and
its inhabitants.
