Abstract:
This study investigated the attitudes of the permanent residents and the squatter-settlements regarding the existence of crime, and the socio-environmental problems experienced by the permanent residents of Greater Breyten Urban Community due to the existence of the squatters in their areas. This growth of squatter settlements, informal settlements, slums along the formal settlement and or urban areas is a global phenomenon. The research design in this study involved a descriptive design which reveals potential relationships between variables. According to the study, the researcher was describing the attitude and impact of quarters on the social environment of the Greater Breyten area. Data was also analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The findings revealed that there are no significant differences between the attitudes of the permanent residents and those of the squatter-settlements regarding the existence of crime. Besides, the socio-environmental problems, the results indicated that the conditions of squatters are poor and unhealthy for human habitation. Considering the findings of the study, the researcher proposed that there be a multi-disciplinary approach to present and provide resources to address the problem of squatter-settlement.

Abstract:
This research study was conducted on socio-economic conditions of families living in squatter’s settlement of Karachi. The urban population is booming with unprecedented growth due to heavy influx or migration of rural population to the cities especially in Karachi. The rural families are migrating to the city in a way to have better employment; improved lifestyles in urban societies. Migrators usually accommodated in squatters’ settlements of Karachi because of high residing cost in urban areas. The squatters’ settlements are located at outskirt of the city on government owned lands. However the provincial government has set up Sindh Katchi Abadi Authority (SKAA) department for upgrading or regularizing Katchi Abadis which are working under specific rules and regulations. In this study the role of SKAA also highlighted to analyze the working preferences of organization for the rehabilitation or betterment of squatter settlements. The research topic is chosen in order to investigate about the socio-economic issues of families living in squatters settlements. The data is collected from 200 respondents of squatters from squatters’ settlements which are situated in six different districts of Karachi. Data is collected by the self-prepared questionnaire which was prepared in a way to investigate socio-economic issues and problems of squatters’ families living in the settlements. This research found that whole sample of squatters is of migrators. These settlements are considered illegal and have no provision of basic necessities including drinking safe water; inadequate sanitation system; and low standard of housings.

Abstract:
Squatters have now become integral part of urban centers in most developing countries like Pakistan, with Lahore experiencing growth of such informal settlements at its peak. A myriad of issues and challenges associated with economic, social, spatial, environmental and political contexts within squatters has become a great hindrance towards home improvement and better life style. Tenure security brings a sense of homeownership to socioeconomically disadvantaged households. Recently, promotion of increased security of tenure of all whether living in formal or informal settlements has been affirmed by New Urban Agenda of Habitat III. Therefore, it is need of the time to look into present tenure types of squatters being offered by the city to solve problem of housing backlog and to provide promote inclusivity ensuring healthy, affordable and sustainable environment for all inhabitants.Proposed argument has got stronger foundation due to comparative analysis of squatter having secured land tenure with squatter of unsecure tenure. In this paper we explore that tenure security is one of the key factors which leads to resident’s stability, through case study approach by investigating two squatters based on their tenure types. The data collected through questionnaire will help us to identify other key factors associated with resident stability in squatters. Study reveals that limited secured tenure options and poor governance in present urban scenario projects as major obstacles in coping with urban sprawl and squatter settlements. Findings help us to understand the phenomena of inter-connection of land tenure security and residential stability of squatters in Lahore, suffering from housing shortage and informal settlements.

Abstract:
The spatial fragmentation in the housing market and the growth of squatter settlements are characteristic for the metropolitan areas in developing countries. Over the years, in large cities, these phenomena have been promoting an increase in the spatial concentration of poverty. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between the squatter settlement growth and spatial fragmentation in the housing market of Buenos Aires. By performing a spatiotemporal analysis using geographically weighted regression in the house prices for the years 2001, 2010, and 2018, the results showed that while squatter settlements had a strong negative effect on house prices, the affected areas shifted over time. Our findings indicate that it is not the growth of the squatter settlement that causes spatial fragmentation, but rather the widening income disparities and further segregation of low-income households. However, squatter settlements determined the spatial demarcation of fragmented housing market by attracting low-income households to surrounding low house price areas.

Abstract:
Squatter/informal settlements are notable features of the urban areas of developing counties. This study aims at exploring the facts related to squat settlements in Ethiopia, with reference to the capital city, Addis Ababa. The study tries to explore the causes, scale and consequences of squatter settlements. It also attempts to assess municipal responses aimed at redressing the problems evolving from the proliferation of squatter settlements within and the suburbs of the city. The study is based on secondary data available to demonstrate the spread and challenges brought about by informal settlements. Related literature is reviewed to provide theoretical background. The emergence and alarming increase of squatter settlements has been caused by multiple factors, including the delays in the implementation of legal land provisions for housing and escalating costs of owning formal houses. The growth of slums and squatter settlements has been among the key urban planning and management hurdles for the city. The city government adopted preventive and curative measures to deter the emergence and prevalence of squatter settlements. The approaches range from demolition of “non-poverty-driven” to regularization of “poverty-driven” informal settlements. However, squatter settlementshave continued to proliferate despite the successive regulatory measures taken by the concerned government organs. This trend is due mainly to unrestrained poverty and population pressure complemented with weak municipal capacity to handle the problem.

Abstract:
This research attempted to understand the variation in the ecological footprint of squatter and non-squatter households in terms of the cumulative environmental behavior index (CEBI). A hybrid footprint measurement tool was built considering the principal factors affecting ecological footprint (EF). The correlation between settlement type (squatter and non-squatter) and the EF (as measured by the mean CEBI) was tested using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. Knowledge, attitude and behavior of people regarding the environment sustainability were studied through questionnaires and field observation. The average CEBI of non-squatter settlements was found to be significantly more than that of squatter settlements. Squatter households in the sample had a statistically significantly lower environmental impact (in terms of energy and water consumption) than non-squatter households (p<0.01). The highest contribution to the total CEBI was from the food sector, followed by waste production. People’s attitudes towards the environmental sustanability varied and most of the squatter households had no clear opinion. Knowledge of environment-friendly practices were found comparatively more in non-squatter households. A majority of the respondents were ignorant about renewable energy. Identification of factors mainly responsible for increasing footprint is needed to design interventions for promoting sustainable development. The findings from this research will be useful for urban planners and other concerned professionals to make amends in sector policies for the sustainable development.

Abstract:
This research tries to understand the reasons for the continuing presence of squatters in Sri Lanka’s state-sponsored land settlement schemes. A preliminary review of the literature pertaining to this area suggests that the legal and regulatory framework in these settlements may be the cause that trigger the necessary social preconditions required for squatter settlements to come into existence. In trying to test this hypothesis found in the literature, the present paper undertakes a qualitative historical analysis into a sample village where squatter settlements are most profoundly observed. Data is collected from three main sources: interviews conducted with key informants in the sample village, focus group discussions conducted with a mixed group of stakeholders as identified through key informants and, an exhaustive analysis of legal documents concerning land ownership and distribution as well as population-related statistics, land utilization patterns and village infrastructure. The analysis of the data proves the hypothesis as accurate by revealing that the central reason for the existence of squatters in the sample village is the legal restriction pertaining to minimum subdivisions by virtue of the Land Development Ordinance (1935) among other statutory provisions. This restriction prohibits owners from apportioning title to their land; they may only transfer title subject to the condition that such a transfer will not divide or otherwise fraction the property. Such restrictions serve to create a ‘social space’ where a number of second and third generation settlers are effectively left without a lawful claim to land, with encroaching on their siblings’ property or government property becoming the only available recourse.

ABSTRAK. Hunian, seringkali mengambil peran krusial sebagai wadah kehidupan manusia, esensi serta eksistensinya seolah hampir tidak pernah luput dan menjadi standar pencapaian sebagai dasar kebutuhan hidup. Keterbatasan lahan serta tidak terjangkaunya biaya membuat sebagian lapisan masyarakat berimprovisasi untuk mendapatkannya. Malfungsi terhadap tata ruang serta lahan pun terjadi sehingga terbentuklah squatter settlements, salah satunya di Semanggi, Surakarta. Merespon hal ini, tindakan penataan kawasan tanpa pemindahan dilakukan oleh pihak berwenang sebagai titik temu demi kebaikan bersama. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menggali sejauh mana komunikasi yang telah terbentuk antara warga squatter settlements dengan pihak berwenang yang berkaitan dengan penataan kawasan, bagaimana perilaku yang terbentuk di squatter settlements melalui behavioral mapping, serta adaptasi yang terjadi di squatter settlements. Penelitian ini berbasis rasionalistik, kualitatif dengan memanfaatkan observasi, serta wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa eksistensi dari ruang publik sangatlah penting, Warga memanfaatkan jalan, tanggul, puing-puing sebagai wadah interaksi sosial dan bertetangga. Hasil lain menunjukan adanya adaptasi yang dilakukan oleh warga pada area squatter settlements yang dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor. Perlunya penggalian lebih dalam terhadap kebutuhan ruang baik itu ruang didalam hunian, maupun ruang publik diperlukan untuk mengantisipasi terjadinya perilaku serta adaptasi yang mengarah pada hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan yang disebabkan oleh kurang terwadahinya aktivitas setelah selesainya penataan kawasan. Kata Kunci: Adaptasi Lingkungan, Behavioral Mapping, Squatter Settlements ABSTRACT. Residential often takes a crucial role as a container of human life; its essence and existence rarely escape and become a standard of achievement as the basis for life's needs. Limited land and unreachable costs make some layers of society improvise to get it. Malfunctions in spatial planning and property ensued so that squatter settlements were formed, one of which was in Semanggi, Surakarta. Responding to this, the act of structuring the area without relocation was carried out by the authorities as a meeting point for the common good. This research was conducted to explore the extent of communication that has been formed between squatter settlements and authorities relating to the arrangement of the area, how the behaviour formed in squatter settlements through behavioural mapping and adaptations that occur in squatter settlements. This research is based on rationalistic, qualitative by using observation and interviews. The results showed that the existence of public space is essential. Residents use roads, riverbanks, debris as a place for social interaction and neighbours. Other findings show that there are adaptations made by residents in the squatter settlements that are influenced by several factors. The need for deeper excavation of space needs both in a residential area, and public space is required in order to anticipate the occurrence of behaviour and adaptation that leads to things that are not desirable due to the lack of activities in the area after the completion of the area.Keywords: Environmental Adaptation, Behavioral Mapping, Squatter Settlements

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.

Dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Magister Technologiae: Public Management in the Faculty of Business at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology
This study interrogates the process followed by the South African government in transforming informal settlements into formal settlements, with specific reference to Khayelitsha Township, located just outside of Cape Town. Three informal settlements within Khayelitsha Township (Nkanini in Makhaza, RR and BM both in Site B) were identified for purposes of conducting this study. This study aims to interrogate the government’s effort to eradicate informal settlements. It employed a quantitative tradition where a structured questionnaire was distributed to 100 subjects. These included ward councillors, government managers, researchers on Community-Based-Organisations and Non-Governmental Organisations. The study revealed that research participants believed that there were no changes taking place in the informal settlements and they are growing in a fastest pace. The study findings also depicted that in order to transform informal settlements all key stakeholders should work in collaboration with each other. This study will contribute to the body of knowledge as there is paucity of data regarding the transformation of informal settlements to formal housing.

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:
AbstractThe purpose of this chapter is to examine the role of religion and ritual in facilitating access to and security over land among migrants in peri-urban Zimbabwe. The chapter is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out among Malawians settled in Lydiate, an informal settlement in Zimbabwe’s Norton peri-urban area. The study shows that though they are not the only sources of access to and security over land, religion and ritual-based forms of authority—the Nyau cult and witchcraft—play a role in land matters. Migrants turn to the enchanting, dramatic, yet dreadful Nyau cult to access and reinforce their ownership of land. Because it is feared and respected by adherents on account of its association with deathly symbols, the cult is able to yield and secure land for those who seek it in its name. Others secure their land against expropriation from fellow migrants through the eccentric means of witchcraft. The migrants do not choose these alternative forms of authority out of preference; very often there are no formal institutions that they can use. Legal courts and local authorities are often unsympathetic toward their interests. Thus, migrant squatter settlements have become dynamic spaces with novel forms of authority regulating access to coveted resources such as land.

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 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:
En América Latina, la implantación del neoliberalismo como sistema económico ha llevado a un modelo de desarrollo con elevada heterogeneidad y desigualdad socioeconómica. De la mano de grandes cambios sociales y demográficos, las áreas urbanas experimentaron un acelerado desarrollo, crecimiento económico desigual en la distribución del ingreso, el aumento del desempleo y altos niveles de informalidad urbana. Enmarcado en esta realidad la producción del espacio urbano, se llevó adelante a través de la gestión de tres actores sociales: 1.el mercado inmobiliario; 2. el Estado nacional y 3. los asentamientos informales. De ellos, el estado cumple un rol fundamental en la construcción de la ciudad encauzando o restringiendo el desarrollo de ciertos espacios ya sea a través de la acción (implementación de políticas públicas, normativas, etc.) o de la omisión. En un contexto en el que persiste la ausencia de planificación, la carencia de un marco que defina el modo de ocupación del territorio, impone la lógica del mercado inmobiliario como criterio urbanístico principal, incluso para las actuaciones de promoción pública de vivienda. Ello impacta de modo negativo en la ciudad en la medida que favorece la especulación en manos del sector privado, produce segregación residencial y desigualdad en el acceso al suelo puesto que amplios sectores quedan fuera del mercado formal. Lo cual se tradujo en la conformación de áreas diferenciadas dentro de la ciudad agudizando la separación entre sectores sociales. A partir del 2003, en Argentina en virtud al crecimiento económico que se produce con posterioridad a la crisis 2001-2002, el Estado Nacional retomó los planes de vivienda a fin de dar solución al problema habitacional haciendo hincapié en programas de relocalización, radicación y regularización dominial de villas y asentamientos informales, articulando con trabajo cooperativo que implicaba la intervención una medida conjunta con el problema de desocupación. A las existentes políticas habitaciones de construcción de viviendas ejecutadas por los Institutos Provinciales de Vivienda (IPV), se sumaron un conjunto de políticas sociales que articulan programas de diversos órdenes, nacional, municipal, provincial y del IPV. (Argentina Trabaja, Municipio+Cerca, PROMEVI, PROMEBA, etc) enlazando la problemática habitacional a la social. Sin embargo estas medidas no revierten el sentido dominante que poseen las políticas públicas en materia de vivienda (del Río y Duarte, 2012) puesto que la construcción de viviendas sin sustento normativo ni planificación, o la consolidación y regularización de asentamientos populares en áreas vulnerables, lejos de mitigar las desigualdades existentes, producen efectos negativos en la ciudad. En este contexto, este trabajo analiza las consecuencias de las nuevas políticas habitacionales en el Área Metropolitana de Tucumán (AmeT), a casi 10 años de implementación de un conjunto de medidas sociales específicas, en teoría tendientes a la equidistribución del acceso al suelo urbano. In Latin America, the implementation of neoliberalism as an economic system has led to a development model with high heterogeneity and socioeconomic inequality. The adoption of policies of liberalization, deregulation and economic flexibility, along with the withdrawal of the state of urban management, major changes occurred in the cities. In the hands of great social and demographic change, urban areas experienced rapid development, uneven economic growth in the distribution of income, rising unemployment and high levels of urban informality. Framed in this reality, the production of urban space, was carried out by the management of three social actors: 1.The real estate market; 2 and 3 the national state informal settlements. Of these, the state plays a key role in building the city damming or restricting the development of certain areas either through action (implementation of public policies, regulations, etc.) or omission. Therefore, in a context in which the lack of planning continues, the lack of a framework defining how land occupation imposes the logic of urban real estate market as the main criterion, even for actions of public housing development. This impacts negatively on the city to the extent that speculation favors the private sector, produce residential segregation and inequality in access to land as large sections remain outside the formal market. Which results in the formation of distinct areas within the city exacerbating the gap between social sectors. In Argentina, under the economic growth that occurs after the 2001-2002 crisis, the Federal Government returned home plans to solve the housing problem but with a twist to the social, to meet the needs of the most vulnerable sectors of society. From being solely residential construction (turnkey system) executed by the Provincial Housing Institutes (IPV), policies will be passed to a set of social policies that articulate programs of various orders, domestic, municipal, provincial and IPV. (Argentina Works, Municipality + Close, PROMEVI, PROMEBA Law Pierri implementation of regularization, etc.) that link to social housing problems. However, this has not had the expected results in relation to urban problems. While the need for regional planning was promoted through the PET National and Provincial (Regional Strategic Plan), all implemented programs were developed without proper management tools to define the criteria for the consolidation and development from the Federal Government city and thus ended conspiring against it, as a stage of collective life. The lack of training of local technicians, the use of these programs clientelitas purposes by local politicians and rampant corruption, contributed to aggravating the observed trends. This suggests that the construction of new housing or consolidation or regularization of squatter settlements in vulnerable areas without legal justification and planning, far from mitigating the inequalities, negative effects on the city. Under this hypothesis, this paper analyzes the impact of new housing policies in the Metropolitan Area of Tucumán (AMET), nearly 10 years of implementing a set of tending to the equal distribution of access to urban land social measures. It is concluded that the actions taken by the State produced an increase and consolidate the processes of fragmentation and emerging socio-spatial segregation of Tucuman AMET.
