More than a third of people in areas affected by the May 12 earthquake want to buy low-cost houses from the government, a report by the Ministry of Science and Technology said on Friday.

"Housing continues to be a major problem for people in the quake areas," Wang Yuan, executive director of the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology for Development (CASTD), said.

The report was based on the findings of a study, conducted in June and July, of more than 4,000 families in Sichuan. It was conducted with help from Norwegian researchers.
