Abstract:

Manokwari is a coastal city and the capital city of the Province which is considered as very strategic and growing city, making Manokwari more attract for jobs seeker. Many low- income people who migrate to Manokwari make densely populated and slum squatter settlements inevitable. Padarni Coastal Area is one of the urban areas with very poor environmental conditions, Irregular, disaster-prone settlements as well as basic facilities and infrastructure have not been realized properly so that the community cannot move and live properly. The results of the study were 6 causes of slum conditions: Socio-cultural Characteristics, level of urbanization, limited land, accessibility, facilities and infrastructure, and weak of government policies. With the concept of waterfront development, settlement arrangement activities are directed at the utilization of local potential, phasing improvement in the quality of settlements and sustainable slums prevention.

Abstract:

Este artigo trata da apropriação do discurso da preservação ambiental para a retomada da discussão sobre remoções de favelas no Rio de Janeiro que haviam sido rechaçadas no processo de redemocratização do país. Depois da favela como foco de epidemias e antro de marginais, a mais nova representação social que vem sendo construída apresenta-a como fator de degradação ambiental. Auxiliada pelo saber técnico-científico que demonstra empiricamente os danos ao meio ambiente causados pelas ocupações irregulares, observa-se a constituição de um movimento conservador que busca pressionar os poderes públicos a reprimi-las, sobretudo nas áreas mais valorizadas da cidade. O presente trabalho se propõe a evidenciar a estratégia discursiva dos principais protagonistas deste movimento, a partir da análise de uma campanha promovida, no ano de 2005, por um importante jornal local, intitulada “Ilegal. E daí?”, e que teve como conseqüência uma ação movida pelo Ministério Público Estadual solicitando à Prefeitura a remoção de 13 áreas favelizadas.Palavras-chave: remoção de favela; ocupação irregular; degradação ambiental. Abstract: This article deals with the appropriation of the environmental preservation arguments in order to justify slums removal in Rio de Janeiro, proposal that was repelled during re-democratization process of country. After presenting slums as epidemical and marginal focuses, the new social representation is established to present it as a factor of environmental degradation. With the support of technical and scientific knowledge that shows empirically environmental damaging generated for squatter settlements, a conservative movement seeks to pressure government authorities, particularly in more valuable areas of the city. The text identifies the discursive strategy of the main protagonists through the analysis of a campaign diffused by an important local newspaper in 2005, which resulted on a judicial action to force Municipality to remove thirteen squatter settlements. Keywords: slums removal; squatter settlements; environmental degradation.

Abstract:

Although "informal urbanisation" is a main characteristic of many cities in the global south, and extensively discussed by a growing number of publications, many contribution fail to take it's political side into account. With this background the article discusses the changes in the relation between the state and the squatter-settlements in Caracas. Major attention is paid towards innovative instruments that have been introduced by the Bolivarian government to foster the development of a "participative and protagonist democracy" in the slums ofVenezueias capital.

Abstract:

AbstraCtSquatter settlement is increasingly spreading in various urban corners of Indonesia, including in Semarang Metropolitan City. The reality of existing squatter settlements invaded vacant land, unpreserved and lacked (no) supervision from landowners, eventually forming slum enclaves, one of which was on the railway line in Semarang City. Railways should not be allowed to be used as residential areas. The squatter settlement is inhabited by people on low incomes (economically incapable). Research methods are conducted in a qualitative scriptive way, through empirical observation, interactively, with inductive methods. The approach of the room system is carried out to interpret circum citizen activity related to the request or zoning.Meanwhile, theoretical studies were conducted to help identify and analyze in this study. This research illustrates that squatter settlement occurs in addition to the retardation and poverty experienced by citizens, also due to the inability of the government and its apparatus in terms of supervision (Uncontrolled). Therefore, space arrangement is required (including planning, coaching, implementation, supervision and control).Keywords: squatter settlement, railway AbstrakSquatter settlement makin merebak di berbagai sudut perkotaan di Indonesia, termasuk di Kota Semarang Metropolitan. Realita yang ada squatter settlement merebak menginvasi lahan-lahan kosong, tidak terpelihara dan kurang (tidak ada) pengawasan dari pemilik lahan, akhirnya membentuk enclave-enclave kumuh, salah satunya di jalur kereta api di Kota Semarang. Jalur kereta api semestinya tidak diperkenankan untuk dijadikan sebagai kawasan permukiman. Squatter settlement tersebut dihuni oleh orang-orang yang berpenghasilan rendah (tidak mampu secara ekonomi). Metode Penelitian dilakukan secara diskriptif kualitatif, melalui observasi empirik, interaktif, dengan metoda induktif. Pendekatan sistem keruangan dilakukan untuk menginterpretasikan circum aktivitas warga kaitannya dengan permintakatan atau zoningnya. Sedangkan kajian teoritis dilakukan untuk membantu mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini menggambarkan bahwa squatter settlement terjadi selain masih adanya keterbelakangan dan kemiskinan yang dialami oleh warga, juga dikarenakan ketidakmampuan pemerintah dan aparatnya dalam dalam hal pengawasan (Uncontrolled). Karenanya, diperlukan adanya penataan ruang (meliputi perencanaan, pembinaan, pelaksanaan, pengawasan dan pengendalian).Kata Kunci: squatter settlement, jalur kereta api

Abstract:

Home is a basic human need. In the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No.1 of 2011 states that housing or access to housing is a right for every community whose existence is the responsibility of the government. The problem that has occurred to this day is that there are still many people living in urban areas who have to occupy illegal or slum settlements. This is due, among other things, to the influence of land and housing prices which increase each year due to high demand which is also caused by the increasing population and urbanization rate. However, in reality the capitalists who control the housing sector are only fixated on capital accumulation by building and marketing homes to middle and high income people. As a result, low-income communities are marginalized in the suburbs, and build non-conventional settlements, slums and squatter. This study with the literature study method aims to analyze how to provide a home for low-income people in the dialectic of capitalism, by making the MBR as an important actor in the construction and provision of housing

Abstract:

Low-cost housing, so-called affordable housing, is an important subject as it affects many aspects of people's well-being and city planning. The urban poor, who form a respectable percentage of cities' residents in many developing countries, are the most affected segment by the availability and affordability of housing. Governments often try their best to provide affordable housing through housing interventions and programs. However, many low-income people end up in informal settlements including slums and squatter settlements. This research analyzes state-led low-cost housing initiatives compared to informal affordable housing in developing countries. The importance of this research is mainly associated with understanding how governmental housing initiatives and laws affect the housing preferences of the urban poor. The research starts by providing a brief background about the subject and its importance from the literature. The research uses mixed methods approach and a case study of Greater Cairo Region following the massive migration during the period between the 1980s and the 2000s to provide an in-depth understanding of the situation. The research then analyzes/discusses some housing initiatives, and uses both quantitative/qualitative data in order to explain potential malpractice and issues. Finally, the research will highlight the key findings and provide some recommendations for change/improvement.

Abstract:

In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the nature, extent and causes of housing poverty in India. Housing stock, new household formation, homelessness, type of structure, number of rooms and households, slums and squatter settlements, housing investment, housing affordability, ownership occupancy, water connection and toilets have been taken as indicators of housing poverty. The paper is based on secondary sources. It concludes that mainly critically poor, low income groups and low middle income groups are suffering from housing poverty. The main causes of housing poverty is existing socio-economic and political systems and unrealistic and insensitive attitude of ruling elite towards the growing needs of poor in growing cities. There is lack of political will rather than the resources. The need of hour is strong political will for comprehensive understanding of phenomenon and enhancement of human capabilities with public action and democratic government support.

Abstract:

Many third world countries have experienced a process of rapid urbanization. The rapid rural–urban migration and the lack of proactive planning have resulted in the expansion of slums and squatter settlements inhabited by low-income and the poor, excessive house rents and poor or total absence of infrastructural facilities. The problem more recently exacerbated in most cities of the third world as a result of the failure of governments to respond adequately to the urban development challenges by adopting adequate housing policies to the urban poor. This paper focuses on the study of urbanization and the impact of poverty and deprived urban living conditions on urban areas. It aims to find out the correlation between the poor urban areas and the housing policies, pinpoints the most successful housing policies to be taken to provide an adequate environment, and proposes basic guidelines for housing policies of the poor in the countries of the third world. Keywords: Urban poor, Urbanization, Housing policies, Third world countries.

Abstract:

The dissertation explores how distinctive institutional factors related to property rights determine urban development patterns and housing tenure modalities in a developing economy context. The first part proposes a choice-theoretic model that explains the existence of the Antichresis contractual arrangement as a way to temporarily divide property rights. The model explains why the Antichresis contract dominates the Periodic-Rent contract in terms of landlord profits for certain types of property in which the gains in expected profits from solving the problem of adverse selection of tenants offset the loss of expected profits created by the moral hazard in landlords investments. The empirical section of the dissertation provides evidence in support of the model. Using data from Bolivia, I find that property types that require less landlord maintenance investment have higher capitalization rates under Antichresis contracts than they would under Monthly-Rent contracts and vice-versa. Additionally, the model shows that the Antichresis contract has limited capacity for helping the poor as suggested by recent literature. On the contrary, it can be hurtful for the poor in markets were landlords have limited information about tenants, in markets with inefficient court systems, or in markets with tenant-friendly regulations. The second part of the dissertation explores the issue of squatter settlements in the developing world. The theoretical model presented in this part explains how the landlord squatter strategies based on credible threats drive capital investment incentives and ultimately shape urban land development in areas with pervasive squatting. The model predicts that squatter settlements develop with higher structural densities than formal sector development. This prediction explains why property owners of housing that originated in squatter settlements take longer periods of time to upgrade than comparable property owners who built in the formal sector even after they receive titles to their property. The higher original structural density increases the marginal benefit of waiting in the redeveloping decision creating a legacy effect of high-density low-quality housing in these types of settlements. Geo-coded data from Cochabamba, Bolivia, support the hypotheses proposed by the theoretical model and raise questions about the unintended consequences of current policies affecting informal development.

Abstract:

This project elucidated the explanatory model of dengue fever held by members of urban communities in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The study was conducted over a four-month period from May-August of 2011, and it was divided into two stages. The first stage of the project consisted of volunteer participation with dengue fever surveillance brigades in the three communities with the highest incidence of dengue fever during the beginning of 2011. This initial stage employed participant observation as its research method. The second stage was conducted in a different community within Tegucigalpa. The primary research methods employed during the second stage of the project were participant observation, semi-structured questionnaires (n=18), and ethnographic surveys (n=32). The semi-structured questionnaires were conducted in three different low-socioeconomic status neighborhoods within the research community, and the ethnographic surveys were administered in a higher-socioeconomic status neighborhood within the same community. Participant observation was conducted in all four neighborhoods. The conceptions of dengue fever were evaluated across differing socio-economic statuses and the possibility of a folk characterization of dengue fever was investigated. The study also explored new avenues for prevention and assessed the impact of surveillance and informational campaigns. In significant aspects, the results from this study ran contrary to previous investigations on the topic (Kendall et al 1991); the results indicated that participants had an explanatory model of dengue fever very similar to the biomedical explanatory model. However, results also indicated that participants had a local-particular, etiological characterization of dengue fever that did not coincide with the biomedical explanatory model of dengue fever. In the latter respect, results were similar to those reported by Kendall et al (1991). Similarly, the participants in this study recognized poor communal cohesion and inadequate/inefficient governmental support or intervention as a prime promoter of dengue fever. The lack of communal cohesion and tension towards governmental authorities in relation to dengue fever has been described by Whiteford (1997). Finally, there were no apparent differences in the explanatory models held by low-socioeconomic status and high-socioeconomic status participants. This study contributes to the fields of anthropology and public health by 1) exploring differences in explanatory models across socio-economic status, 2) discussing local etiologies of dengue fever relating to dirt/filth, and 3) assessing local conceptions of dengue fever within the framework of a folk illness.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the causes and consequences of intra-urban relocation of squatter settlements. The process of removal and resettlement of land invasions is analyzed in the light of past and contemporary experiences within the context of the developing countries, and a theoretical background is presented as a support for the main argument of the study. The urban network of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, was selected as case study to illustrate the use of resettlement as a planning instrument and to discuss the impact that such undertakings bring upon the relocated communities. The study demonstrates how the development style adopted by the local government, which combines clearance and relocation of squatter settlements with a strong emphasis on peripheral development, has resulted in the formation of a highly dissociating environment, in which the practice of land invasion has become the primary strategy of poor dwellers to achieve land tenure.

Abstract:

Abstract McCarthy and Lahiri-Dutt illuminate the menstrual experiences of women living in informal settlements in India. Beginning with a critique of menstrual hygiene management (MHM) and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) framings of women’s menstrual practices, they argue that these approaches ignore important spatial, social, and moral meanings attached to menstruating bodies in informal settlements. To substantiate their argument, McCarthy and Lahiri-Dutt take the reader into the jhuggīs and the lives of individual women who have migrated for work to the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA) area in Delhi, India. The authors show how, despite the congested and cramped conditions, women traverse the structural deficits of informal living to reconfigure notions of privacy and to navigate changing gender relations.

Abstract:

AbstractIn Kyrgyzstan, scholars disagree about the outcomes of the Tulip Revolution of 2005: while some argue that the revolution has not resulted in noteworthy changes in the country, others see it as the beginning of major political change. To trace the materiality of such change it is necessary to look at the micro-level of a society, as this chapter does by focusing on the house as the unit of analysis for a close study of change. It examines the gradual transformation of dwellings in Ak Jar, an illegal squatter settlement on the northern edge of Kyrgyztan’s capital city Bishkek. The immediate aftermath of the Tulip Revolution saw the emergence of numerous illegal squatter settlements on the outer fringes of the city. Ak Jar, the largest of these, has some 15,000 inhabitants who arrived in Bishkek as internal migrants in search of employment. The dwellings in Ak Jar have changed over the course of time: most began as small mud shacks, and changed when a family generated enough money to improve and expand them. The development of these houses was central for the gradual official recognition of the illegal settlements that emerged in post-revolutionary Kyrgyzstan. House biographies are therefore intrinsically tied to wider developments in Kyrgyz society and throw new light on the ruptures, power struggles, and consolidation of power relations after the Tulip Revolution.

Abstract:

Encouraging and supporting Community Based Governance for Informal Housing and Settlements to achieve a sustainable built environment is essential. However, this will be the greatest challenge facing countries as they become more urbanized. Governance has become difficult to define and measure, much less described as a theory that can be modelled and applied to policy and in making decisions. The difficulty in definition was traced both to the evolving roles of the planner; and ontological and epistemological paradigms that have shaped research. This research defined Community Based Governance as a theory. This was explored using a Grounded Mixed Methods to integrate quantitative and qualitative data. Using intersectionality and structuration, the outcomes were examined. Initial results from Trinidad suggest that the reformulated theory of Community Based Governance has demonstrated failures and unsustainability of the public sector’s squatter regularisation programme where Community Based Governance though essential, is undermined. However, this contradicts the success that the programme claims.

Abstract:

In 1950 three quarters of a billion people lived in large towns and cities, or 30% of the total world population of over 2.5 billion. By 2009 this had grown to 3.42 billion, just over half of a total population of over 6.8 billion. The United Nations Secretariat currently forecasts that in 2050 6.4 billion, 67% of a total of almost 9.6 billion people will live in urban areas. Just over a third of that growth, around one billion people, is expected to be in China, India and Nigeria, but the remaining two billion will be in the countries around those countries: a massive arc stretching across the world from West Africa through the Middle East, across Asia and into the Pacific. In these other countries, an additional two billion urban residents over thirty years translates into a need to build a new city for a population of one million people, complete with hospitals, schools, workplaces, recreation and all the rest, at a rate of more than four a month: 2000 cities, in countries with little urban planning capability! In addition, the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs) include goal 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”, so these new cities should demonstrate a level of planning competence and city management ability that many towns and cities in the world are struggling to achieve. Notwithstanding the scale of the problem, the size and cost of the planning effort is demonstrated to be feasible, provided that action is swift and new technologies are developed and applied to the planning and approvals processes. Of course, taking these plans to construction is a much bigger effort, but the economy of cities is strongly circular, meaning that the initial cash injection generates jobs that pay wages that are spent on rent and goods within the city, which then generate profits that fund developments that generate jobs, etc. However, this requires good governance, a planning consideration that must also be addressed if the full benefits of planning, designing and building 2000 cities in the Third World are to be enjoyed by the citizens of those cities. Finally, failure is not an option, because “If we don't solve this equation, it is not that people will stop coming to cities. They will come anyhow, but they will live in slums, favelas and informal settlements” (Arevena, 2014), and we know that slums the world over produce crime, refugees and revolution, and then export these problems internationally, one way or another. The world most certainly does not want more refugees or another Syria, so planners must rescue us from that future, before it happens!

Abstract:

In globalization ear, a large number of cities around the world are losing their features with the impact of powerful alien culture. Furthermore, China has been experiencing rapid urbanization. Full speed construction calls for the standardization instead of the uniqueness, which have brought threat to characteristics of cities. Homogeneous images of cities can be seen everywhere. Local cityscape, as the identity of the indigenous culture, is becoming increasingly scarce resource and competitive power for city in the field of global competition. Cities in China, who have realized the importance of history and culture in recent years, started to preserve and improve local cityscape by the tools of urban planning and design. Taking the historic urban quarters around the Daming Palace National Heritage Park as an example, the Cityscape Control Plan is researched as a method to preserve and optimize the cityscape in the historic area during the process of urban regeneration. The project is located in Xi’an, a megacity with more than 9.6 million population. Daming Palace used to be the imperial palace of the country in Tang Dynasty (AD634-896). Quarters around it has become a decayed area with squatter settlements nowadays. The municipality tries to bring in new opportunities for the area with a Cityscape Control Plan, which offers a possible solution to combine global and modern function with local and historic cityscape. Learning from the theories of city image, urban morphology and typology, the concept of cityscape and Cityscape Control Plan are defined theoretically. Secondly, an integral cityscape structure for the area is constructed and several spatial guidelines are created in terms of morphology，street interfaces, building heights, architectural styles, architectural colours, etc. All the guidelines are integrated and detailed to specific form codes for each blocks, which can be used as an administrative tool to restrict all the related construction activities. With these efforts, the historic features and innovative features are combined to identify a unique cityscape in this area, bring in a “glocal” (global-local) solution for the revitalizing of the historic mega city as Xi’an

Abstract:

In 2018, the world population is around 7.6 billion, 4.2 billion in urban settlements and 3.4 billion in rural areas. Of this total, according to UN-Habitat, 3.2 billion of urban inhabitants live in southern countries. Of them, one billion, or nearly a third, live in slums. Urban poverty is therefore an endemic problem that has not been solved despite all initiatives taken to date by public and private sectors. This global transformation of our contemporary societies is particularly challenging in Asia and Africa, knowing that on these two continents, less than half of the population currently lives in urban areas. In addition, over the next decades, 90% of the urbanization process will take place in these major regions of the world. Urban planning is not an end in itself. It is a way, human and technological, to foresee the future and to act in a consistent and responsible way in order to guarantee the wellbeing of the populations residing in cities or in their peripheries. Many writers and urban actors in the South have criticized the inadequacy of urban planning to the problems faced by the cities confronting spatial and demographic growth. For many of them the reproduction of Western models of planning is ineffective when the urban context responds to very different logics. It is therefore a question of reinventing urban planning on different bases. And in order to address the real problems that urban inhabitants and authorities are facing, and offering infrastructures and access to services for all, this with the prospect of reducing poverty, to develop a more inclusive city, with a more efficient organization, in order to make it sustainable, both environmental than social and economic. The field work carried out during recent years in small and medium-sized cities in Burkina Faso, Brazil, Argentina and Vietnam allows us to focus the attention of specialists and decision makers on intermediate cities that have been little studied but which are home to half of the world's urban population. From local diagnoses, we come to a first conclusion. Many small and medium-sized cities in the South can be considered as poor cities, from four criteria. They have a relatively large percentage of the population is considered to be poor; the local government and its administration do not have enough money to invest in solving the problems they face; these same authorities lack the human resources to initiate and manage an efficient planning process; urban governance remains little open to democratic participation and poorly integrates social demand into its development plans. Based on this analysis, we consider it is imperative to renovate urban planning as part of a more participatory process that meets the expectations of citizens with more realistic criteria. This process incorporates different stages: an analysis grounded on the identification of urban investment needed to improve the city; the consideration of the social demands; a realistic assessment of the financial resources to be mobilized (municipal budget, taxes, public and international external grants, public private partnership); a continuous dialogue between urban actors to determine the urban priorities to be addressed in the coming years. This protocol serves as a basis for comparative studies between cities in the South and a training program initiated in Argentina for urban actors in small and medium sized cities, which we wish to extend later to other countries of the South
