Abstract:
Este trabalho se propõe a contribuir com uma análise morfológica dos assentamentos informais situados no entorno dos conjuntos habitacionais Cidade Nova, Guajará e PAAR, localizados no município de Ananindeua, Região Metropolitana de Belém, Estado do Pará. Foram escolhidos quatro assentamentos informais em virtude de suas respectivas localizações, relações de proximidade com os conjuntos habitacionais supracitados, forma espacial, suas conexões e limitações do sítio físico. Neles foram identificadas proporções de dimensões de quadras e lotes, massa edificada, e a relação entre o traçado da malha urbana dos assentamentos informais com as dos conjuntos habitacionais, visando identificar as transformações ocorridas e o nível integração/segregação dos recortes destacados. É demonstrado que a forma urbana dos assentamentos informais periféricos revela um processo de consolidação com padrões espaciais determinados em grande medida pela espacialidade dos conjuntos habitacionais. This work aims to contribute to a morphological analysis of informal settlements located around the Cidade Nova, Guajará and PAAR housing complexes, located in the municipality of Ananindeua, Metropolitan Region of Belém, state of Pará. Four informal settlements were chosen because of their respective locations, proximity relations with the above-mentioned housing estates, spatial shapes, their connections and limitations of the physical site. The assessment of proportions of blocks and lots, built mass, and the relationship between the layout of the urban network of informal settlements with the complexes housing are conducted, in order to identify the changes that have taken place and the level of integration/segregation of the highlighted areas. It is demonstrated that the urban form of peripheral informal settlements reveals a process of consolidation with spatial patterns partially determined by the spatiality of the housing estates.

Abstract:
Resumo A ascensão do aluguel como forma de acesso à moradia tem sido observada atualmente na América Latina, inserida em um contexto de inflexão neoliberal das políticas sociais, financeirização e mercantilização do território popular. Senhorios corporativos vinculados a gestores financeiros globais operam, no mercado residencial, através de plataformas digitais, concentrando a extração de renda de aluguel dispersa, com grande alcance e flexibilidade normativa. Já, no lucrativo mercado imobiliário popular, o aluguel informal é alimentado por remoções, despejos e uma nova geração de políticas públicas de moradia de aluguel: seja através de Parcerias Público-Privadas, seja com a introdução de vouchers, que articulam mercados residenciais populares informais às finanças, impactando territórios populares e redefinindo a moradia como serviço.

Abstract:
Informal urban settlements are part of the urban landscape in Latin America. To address this public policy problem, states have implemented diverse strategies that have transitioned between housing settlement and eradication, assuming that the former has significant advantages over the latter. The Chilean case is no different. To discuss these ideas, two Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning projects in the province of Concepción, Chile, are analyzed. The discussion is based on the results of a quantitative study, with a probabilistic design and simple random sampling, with a sample of 1,130 families. The results indicate that, regardless of the project’s operation strategy, families are highly satisfied with their homes. However, they express a negative evaluation of neighbors and a perception of heterogeneity, resulting in social distancing regarding social relations within the neighborhood space. The results open new questions regarding social integration in social housing complexes.

Abstract:
Informal housing includes the range of practices associated with producing or occupying residential spaces which falls beyond formal systems of urban planning. In this field it is complicated recognize what is legal or illegal and informal self-building and social innovation coexist with urban crime. On the one hand, informal housing is an opportunity for counter-movements against marketisation of the housing sector (squatting, self-construction, grassroots neighbourhood organisations). On the other hand, in the informal housing we can find urban crime, including organised crime groups, which control over the territory, occupy public housing, and manage public housing building. Massive urban security policies tackled informal space through segregation, surveillance, and punitive initiatives. Here the accusation of “mafia” has intensity the criminalisation of urban poverty, and the complexity of socio-spatial inequality is confused under the penal repression. The essay tries to deepen this ambivalence by looking at the outskirts of Rome and, in particular, at the relationship between informal housing in neighbourhoods with public housing complexes, with a high concentration of socio-economic disadvantage and high criminal density.

Abstract:
This paper applies the perspective of informality to examine the nexus between informal housing finance and housing markets in China. The study explores the causes, formation, influences and consequences of informal housing financing mechanisms in Ordos. It argues that informal housing finance contributes to the local property market boom and becomes an instrument of wealth building through homeownership, but classifies and reinforces social classes based on their gains from the property market. The study discusses the possibilities of institutionalizing informal housing finance and diversifying economic structures, with special consideration of resource-based frontier cities.

Abstract:
The recycling of consumer items and their use as building materials have long been recognized by researchers and scholars in studies of informal settlements. There they are used as substitutes to traditional materials for walls and roofs, scarce or unaffordable in urban areas. However, they are also used as a means to repair or protect dilapidated materials and building components.
Recycled consumer items are neither accepted nor regarded as standard building materials. Nevertheless, builders continue to use them, recognizing the existence of a market where they are regarded as alternative materials in housing. The use of these materials is defined by the users' needs and priorities. However, the decision-making process also depends on availability in the market, opportunity cost of the products, the performance of each material and its perceived aesthetic and social value within the community. In the process their use has created complex supply networks that deliver building materials according to local supply and demand.
Based on a field study, this thesis presents the recycled consumer items used for the provision of housing in a squatter settlement. All the recycled non-conventional materials found are recorded according to their uses in the dwelling units, classified according to building types. Later on these materials are classified and analyzed according to their properties, their provision and acquisition.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur les expériences genrées de la mobilité précaire chez des femmes roms qui migrent de la Roumanie vers la France. Ce travail s’appuie sur une enquête ethnographique menée pendant neuf mois dans deux bidonvilles de la Seine-Saint-Denis, ainsi que sur des enquêtes au sein de deux associations (accompagnement social et programme de service civique pour les jeunes habitant·es de bidonvilles et squats). Des entretiens formels et informels, notamment avec des militant·es roms et pro-Roms en France et en Roumanie, viennent compléter ces enquêtes, de même qu’un ensemble d’observations d’événements militants et associatifs auxquels les Roms vivant en Ile-de-France sont convié·es. L’enquête le montre, dans un contexte de stigmatisation et de précarité, les femmes roms endossent de nouveaux rôles ; la division sexuée des tâches est bousculée par la migration, qui remet en question l’organisation au sein des familles et des couples. Paradoxalement, la catégorie de vulnérabilité qui peut leur être appliquée dans les politiques publiques de « tri » renforce leur capacité d’agir et contribue à leur subjectivation politique. Tout en proposant une analyse des politiques de (non)-accueil qui conduisent à des expulsions, et produisent une vulnérabilité qui est inégalement distribuée et reconnue, cette thèse conteste ainsi l’incompatibilité présumée entre politique et vulnérabilité, en s’appuyant sur les combats du quotidien dans les bidonvilles et les espaces de représentation où prennent place les femmes. La thèse contribue à une meilleure compréhension de « ce que cela fait d’être un problème » (W.E.B Du Bois, 1903), à partir du point de vue de celles dont la parole reste encore peu audible, et qui pourtant cherchent à ouvrir la voix
This thesis focuses on the gendered experiences of precarious mobility, apprehended through the migration of Roma women from Romania to France. It is based on a nine-month ethnography conducted in two bidonvilles of Seine-Saint-Denis, as well as on other studies in two associations (one for administrative support and one organizing a civil service program for young bidonvilles and squat inhabitants). To complement this fieldwork, this thesis also makes use of a number of formal and informal interviews, in particular with Roma and pro-Roma militants in France and in Romania, and of a collection of observations relating to associative and militant events which Roma living in Ile-de-France were invited to attend. The thesis shows that in a context of stigma and precariousness, Roma women take up new roles. The gendered division of tasks is upended by migration which calls into question the structures that uphold families and couples. Paradoxically, being classified as vulnerable by public policies that sort and select actually reinforces their agency, and contributes to their political subjectivation. This work proposes an analysis of the politics of (in)hospitality that lead to expulsions and that produce unequally distributed and unevenly recognized vulnerability. It also contests the presumed incompatibility between politics and vulnerability, based on the daily struggles in bidonvilles and the spaces that women occupy in order to represent themselves. In doing so, this thesis contributes to an improved understanding of “how it feels to be a problem” (W.E.B Du Bois, 1903) from the perspective of those whose voices are still barely audible, and yet who seek to be heard

This dissertation presents the right to adequate housing as a fundamental right. Describes the content of that right, his prediction in the Federal Constitution, in legislation and in international human rights protection and exposes the gap between these predictions and reality. Comes from the huge number of people without adequate housing, comprising spaces characterized by the absence of the state. Identified are responsible for fulfilling that right and discussed their exposure to liability, as well as some possible ways of action of public authorities representatives of the three Powers. At the end, were brought into consideration three case studies that illustrate the points made in the theoretical and demonstrate the way in which they conducted some urban land conflicts

Abstract:
Informal settlements are a form of housing found in many parts of the world. Self-help housing in informal settlements has different influences that are denoted in the customs and preferences of the residents, which in turn, are reflected on the elements of house exteriors as well as its interior. Colonias in the U.S-Mexico border region are a model of informal settlements. The purpose of this study is to analyze the social and cultural influences on housing fronts in Webb County Colonias. The study focuses on investigating traditional features, vernacular forms, building rituals, and social features as they relate to the morphology of house fronts and their production. The housing model of Geddes and Bertalanffy explained by Turner (1972) was the premise of establishing the argument of this study. A mixed-method approach was used in data gathering from the following three Colonias: Los Altos, Larga Vista, and Rio Bravo. Utilized methods included image-based research through systematic random sampling of housing fronts in the Colonias, as well as a group-administered structured survey distributed during community monthly gathering for food distribution. The development of the research process and methodology incorporated the input of the local community and local leaders and volunteers assisted in its implementation. The study concluded that past and present experiences of Colonias residents have intense impacts on different aspects contributing to the themes comprising the morphology of Colonias housing fronts. A classical pattern of migration as well as maintained contact and continuous dialogue between residents and their kin were found to result in preserving the inherent native culture of the Colonias’ residents and can thus be considered as core elements. This preservation of native culture was indicated by utilization of semi-private space, traditional roof forms, privacy and security elements, and building rituals. The study also identified additional secondary modified elements, represented by the lack of gates utilization as a measure of security. These core and modified elements coincide with the Geddes and Bertalanffy model and therefore it can be deduced that this model can be applied in the case of the Colonias.

Abstract:
The object of this thesis is informal construction in South-East European countries during the post-communist transition, in particular the analysis of the metropolitan area of the city of Split. We will approach the issue of informal construction as a complex path-dependent phenomenon that cannot be separated from the social conditions, which generated it, nor from the institutional context in which it is embedded. In this thesis, we first discuss the transition of the welfare model in post-communist countries and highlight the specific characteristics of Croatia. Attention is paid to the different ways in which the diverse housing systems, as part of wider welfare systems, influence the phenomena of informal construction. The analysis is conducted at the city level in order to define informal construction in relation to the housing provision. Secondly, we address the problem of the definition of informal construction by looking at the following variable: ownership over land, the relation to the land use regulation, legality of the built object and its expansion, the current use of the object, permanency of the residence and as the last feature, whether it is built through the self promotion. A typology of informal construction is built and is tested in a survey of different neighborhood of the city of Split. Thirdly, a survey is carried out on the different typologies of informal construction. The focus of the survey is on the ways in which different social groups in the society benefit or are damaged by the phenomenon of informal construction and on the different possibilities and paths to the legalization process. An additional outcome is a refinement of the typology for further research on the topic of informal construction.

Abstract:

This thesis is an attempt to address issues of housingtransformation in informal settlements. Transformation ofhouses is seen to be associated with modernisation forceswhereby people adapt their houses to suit their needs anddesires. On one hand the desire to own a“modernhouse”may lead to deterioration of spatial qualities, onthe other hand fulfilment of the desire may contribute to themodernisation of urban settlements. The informal settlement ofHanna Nassif was chosen as a case study to illustrate theprocess of housing transformations in informal settlement.Knowledge on the transformation processes serves as animportant tool to address issues of spatial qualities, housingmodernisation, actors in the processes of transformation anduse of space.

The results show that there is a wide range oftransformation activities that have been taking place in termsof extensions and alterations. The desire to modernise theirhouses impels developers to use modern building materials. Insome instances houses constructed with traditional buildingmaterials are replaced with industrially produced materials.Through transformation processes new house types emerge. Thestudy identifies problems as well as positive aspectsassociated with the whole process of housing transformation.The positive aspects are those of increased indoor space,increase of rooms for renting and in other cases separation offunctions. The problems emerging from this process include:decrease of outdoor space, increase of housing density,blockage of ventilation and light in the transformedhouses.

The study concludes that housing transformation being oneway in which lowincome earners strive to get access to housingdeserves government support, particularly in the absence ofalternative housing supply. It is further observed that todatemany urban dwellers have managed to secure housing as a directresult of house extensions effected by house owners. The houseextensions are being carried out outside the established formalplanning regulations. It is in the light of these developmentsthat there is a cause for government intervention to guidehousing development processes in informal settlements.Professionals like planners and architects should also assume arole for quality and sustainability to prevail. The study alsosuggests specific problem areas for further investigation.

Key words:Tanzania, housing transformation, informalsettlements, modernisation, spatial qualities and housetypes.

Abstract:
Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.
One of the problems with development planning is a lack of community participation. This is due to the top-down approach that dominates development planning. To improve chances of sustainable development there is a need to shift from a top-down approach towards a bottom-up approach. The bottom-up approach promotes people-centred development. People-centred development focuses on people and enhances their capacity to influence the direction and implementation of the development process. Communities can only influence the development process through their participation. International bodies such as the United Nations and the World Bank support the concept of community participation in development planning. The South African policy framework also provides for community participation. The change agents should utilise this opportunity by sharing knowledge and by learning from the indigenous knowledge of the community. This knowledge exchange between the community and the change agents creates a platform for social learning, capacity building and empowerment. It is through this platform that sustainable development could be achieved. This kind of development process accommodates the building blocks of development. This study examines the level of community participation in a housing development project at the Boystown informal settlement. It was found that there is a lack of community participation in this project and that the project could be a success if there is a higher level of participation by the beneficiaries.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter begins to explore additional levels of informality and precarity in the lives of the Zama Zama. In particular the informal settlement or township in which mining occurs is discussed. In this chapter, I argue that spatial and spiritual realities and beliefs inform the labour of informal mining which is further developed in Chapter 4. The chapter shows, through first-person narratives the multiple and intersecting forms of informality, producing persistent forms of precarity, laced by pockets of resistance, resiliency and agency among the Zama Zama. Insecure housing, rumours and connections, and spiritual beliefs and practices inform social relations and work arrangements. For the Zama Zama the spatial, spiritual and political organisation of the township informs how they live and how they do their work.

Abstract:
“Habitat 5.0 – Towards affordable and sustainable housing in the developing world” strives to build communities by following urban design patterns for sustainable settlements and goes beyond the mere production of individual housing structures. It is a blockchain-based approach that leads to “disruptive innovations” in order to achieve “quality good enough”1 to upgrade informal settlements. The key approach relies on the secure and verifiable transfer of existing, qualified knowhow that enables residents to participate in the process. The self-building of houses with ecological materials is safer, cheaper, faster, sustainable, and supports the vision of “Glocalization.” Habitat 5.0 is a need-based approach: The need is the lack of affordable and adequate housing which leads to the surge in informal settlements. The idea is to improve informal housing in situ. This need is aggravated when disasters strike, as informal settlements are the most vulnerable when heavy rainfall, floods, storms or earthquakes hit unstable land and unsafe structures. Apart from informal housing, many other cheaply built structures are usually affected and destroyed by natural disasters. Therefore, disaster relief housing is another major potential of this approach.

Abstract:
Informal settlements on riverbanks in impoverished Brazilian peripheries have been increasingly suffering from more intense annual urban floods, as in the Roncador River region in Duque de Caxias City. This article proposes a comprehensive solution for flood risk reduction (FRR) through an integrated approach in design. By recognizing water as an ally, this study connects a system of green areas along the river corridor and within the urban fabric with amphibious evolutionary housing as an adaptive solution that protects houses from flood damage. As a low-impact intervention, it prioritizes nature-based strategies and local community practices, fostering local economies to fight gentrification and contributing to building a more equitable future. The methodology identifies the region’s problems and opportunities, followed by a literature review on FRR solutions and incremental housing design strategies. Lastly, two sites were selected to propose the design intervention. As a result, the design applies adaptability strategies on different scales, accepting floods, allowing transformations, and adapting to the local context. The proposed green areas’ system on the watershed scale increases soil permeability and water storage and reduces stormwater runoff. On the housing scale, residents are provided with a low-cost, flexible, and amphibious starter house that is half the potential final house area on safe nearby lands. The design solution promotes economic benefits, as implementing a network of parks improves the land value and generates local sources of employment. The project’s innovation is combining incremental design strategies with amphibious architecture to offer good quality and affordable housing that adapts to floods, empowering marginalized communities to thrive in healthier riverscapes. In addition, this solution could be applied to improve the livelihood of other flood-prone communities in similar informal contexts.

Abstract:
With most growth in urban population happening primarily through informal urbanisation, it is vital to identify cost effective measures for improving the often-poor housing conditions, which can have adverse health impacts on large parts of the population. The aim of this research is to investigate the indoor environmental conditions of self-constructed houses in low-income informal settlements in Lima, Peru, before and after implementing fabric retrofit strategies. Data loggers were placed in a family house in the informal settlement of José Carlos Mariátegui in Lima, measuring internal temperature and humidity at hourly intervals for two years. At the start of the second year the house underwent fabric improvement measures and particular roof insulation, following the recommendations of a calibrated dynamic thermal model. The results presented in the paper compare internal temperatures before and after retrofit as well as the modelling predictions. Overall, the measured data reveal the extreme indoor temperatures occupants are experiencing daily and the impact roof insulation has on these, with the modelling output predicting the reduction in daily peak internal temperature up to 3-5°C, and the measured data indicating an average of about 5°C on site, during warm months. The application of roof insulation on these self-constructed homes can be carried out by community members and was shown to be a cost- effective measure, accounting between 5-10% of the total cost if it was to be implemented at the start of the construction process.

Abstract:
Intro: According to the National Cadastre, In Tirana, more than half of the built environment lies in informal areas, approximately 2506 ha from 4100 ha of the total urban area. The more we go outside the city, the more it would be the absence of property recognition. However, this condition, of being informal, without proper property recognition, has not stopped the process of property substitution. From an orchard land to a highly densified area, the Kashar and Astiri areas are the best examples to represent and show the substitution process. Research Question and Objectives: The research aims to identify the substitution process, in Kashar and Astiri neighbourhoods, measure it, and get into the primary factors of the bargaining process of the substitution processes. The comparative methodology used in this paper speaks about the partial development of the agricultural land made by 200x200 meters, with a fast pro- cess of substitution along the existing pathways and a slower process inside the agricultural land. In this substitution process, three actors play an important role: the primary inhabitants (single family), the investor with multi-family buildings, and the public administration. Results: The substitution process from the primary inhabitants has happened informally, in com- mon understanding and over a long period. These common forms of understanding and sharing consist of signs (communication), resources (construction materials), and development rules (distances). The substitution process by the private investors has happened there where there was a higher degree of property recognition. Instead, the public administration has set in a process of eradicating the informal settlements, without understanding the two processes of substitution mentioned above and by interfering in the substitution process. Conclusions: Both inhabitants, the first, and the new struggle for primary urban rights, such as water, mobility, and energy access and the substitution have not changed radically the property recognition situation - on the contrary, it has complicated it.

Abstract:
This article provides an analysis and reflection on changes in urban space in municipal housing districts to identify relevant aspects of urban and architectural design that could be rethought, to guarantee more flexibility of use and the quality of life of residents. To achieve this objective, this study focuses on four neighbourhoods in the municipality of Loures, in the district of Lisbon. The main informal appropriations in the external public space and in the building exteriors (e.g. configurational and/or chromatic changes of the facades) were mapped through in situ analyses and debate sessions with inhabitants and representatives of the Municipality of Loures. This comparative study aims to analyse informal urban dynamics as a means for contributing to the requalification of social housing and to the well-being of inhabitants, considering socioeconomic, architectural, and landscape characteristics of each case under analysis. Keywords: Municipal Affordable Neighborhoods, Appropriations, Informal, Loures. Neste artigo mapeia-se e reflete-se sobre as alterações do espaço urbano realizadas por moradores em bairros municipais. Pretende-se identificar aspetos relevantes do projeto urbano e arquitetónico que poderiam ser repensados no sentido de garantir maior flexibilidade de uso e qualidade de vida aos moradores. Para alcançar este objetivo, este estudo focou-se em quatro bairros municipais do concelho de Loures no distrito de Lisboa. Através de análises in situ e sessões de debate com os moradores e representantes da Câmara Municipal de Loures, foram mapeadas as principais apropriações informais no espaço público exterior e no exterior do edificado (e.g. configuracional e/ou cromática das fachadas). O principal objetivo deste estudo comparativo incide na análise das dinâmicas urbanas de génese informal como ferramenta que contribui para a requalificação dos complexos habitacionais sociais e para o bem-estar dos moradores, tendo em conta as caraterísticas socioeconómicas, arquitetónicas e paisagísticas de cada caso em análise. Palavras-chave: Bairro Municipal, Apropriações, Informal, Loures.

Abstract:
Much of an architect´s training occurs by a process of elimination. We must unlearn many things to learn the new ones; in our particular Costa Rican educational context learning to produce correct architecture seems to start with the assumption that most of what we see in our cities is wrong. But when it comes to construction we move between two traditions: the academic one and the informal one. These traditions seem to dismiss each other, an architect would consider the products of informality ingenuous, a person operating within the informal tradition in need of the materialization of the preconceived idea of a house would normally consider an architecta luxury. According to the National Architectural College 23% of overall construction lacked permits in 2014, a percentage slightly higher than the previous year, this nevertheless renders only partial understanding the phenomenon. Which of the two traditions accounts for the majority of what is built in this country? What significant informal knowledge percolates to the present after a much longer presence than formal education and how is it transmitted? What role does representation play in the informal tradition ? are instructions drawn or narrated ?… How do architects unlearn what they do not understand in full? A house designed by the author in the rural North of Costa Rica functions as a catalyst for further investigation on how the upbringing of an architect collides with more traditional ways of building. In a village where, no other architect has practiced before the author discovers several categories of construction, from the temporary huts vendors use to sell fruits and milking parlors, to houses that have been built following traditional “recipes”. The house learns lessons of practicality from these structures and is informed by their aesthetics. It also employs the old“vara” (0.84 m) as the unit of measurement in an attempt to make itself communicable to local builders. In practice, due to the lack of skill for reading formal construction drawings, the instructions to build the house end up being narrated rather than read. This paper will study informal construction in Costa Rica which is symptomatic of Latin America in general particularly in rurality where it occurs the most. It will collect information from specific cases on how decisions where made and how they were transmitted, and will look for ways to hierarchize them in order to identify which are part of a basic set of instructions (or recipe, meaning there can be small creative variations of the ingredients) and which take place as more significant deviations from those instructions. It will also propose ways to convey the graphic implications of this information that is compatible with the inflections that occur in the orality of these particular context, and finally it will put forward a discussion on ways for an architect to learn from and operate within it, anticipating that our built environment takes shape as a trade-off between both traditions.

Abstract:
Using the 2003 and 2008 Quality of Life Surveys (QLS) conducted by the National Department of Statistics (DANE), this paper identifies the factors that affect housing tenure decisions in Colombia. Households with higher incomes are more likely to purchase than to rent, and the choice of formal housing is positively associated with wealth. Households eligible for social housing subsidies are more likely to purchase than to rent, and those working in the informal sector are more likely to purchase informal dwellings. Subsidies and access to mortgage credit have a large positive impact on demand. Finally, savings have a positive effect on demand in 2008, but not in 2003. The positive effect on demand of both subsidies and credit is explained by demand for low-income housing.

Abstract:
El presente informe responde al estudio Self-Help Housing and Incremental Housing: The Likely Directions for Future Housing Policy financiado por el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo donde se tomó como caso de estudio la experiencia chilena de la vivienda incremental. El objetivo del estudio es aprender de la experiencia realizada para desde ahí ofrecer opciones estratégicas a los gobiernos que apoyen procesos incrementales de vivienda. El estudio de casos desea poner a prueba dos hipótesis. La primera, que el proceso incremental, tanto formal como informal, puede mejorarse sustancialmente en términos de rapidez de la consolidación y calidad de la construcción, beneficiando tanto a las familias afectadas como a la ciudad. La segunda, que apoyar programas de viviendas construidas incrementalmente es un enfoque proactivo eficiente -en términos de costos, insumos administrativos y asistencia técnica- para aumentar las unidades de vivienda a precio accesible.

Abstract:
This document surveys the Uruguayan housing market, first describing the main housing programs and policies, then comparing their design with households' characteristics and needs. The document additionally measures Uruguay's housing deficit, using the basis deficit as well as quantitative and qualitative deficits, and provides a definition of housing informality that captures most irregular housing situations, thus delineating the size and attributes of the informal housing market. Considering both the housing deficit and informality permits an understanding of which population segments have the most urgent housing needs and whether they are currently eligible for participation in housing programs. Finally, the study considers how many households eligible for housing programs actually make use of them.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the determinants of housing demand for Uruguay and the extent to which housing policies have an impact on their target population. The paper first analyzes the determinants of housing demand, following an approach based on Rosen's (1974) two-step procedure consisting of fitting a hedonic price regression in 34 different geographical units (or markets) to estimate a housing demand function. The determinants of formality and ownership choices were examined using a multinomial logit framework. Determinants of these choices include both household demographic attributes and access to and use of public housing programs and other social programs. Policy recommendations are offered on the basis of the finding that a price and income-inelastic formal housing market greatly contrasts with a rather price and income-elastic informal housing market.

Abstract:
SEWA launched the Zamini Adhikar Abhiyaan (ZAA) for the economic empowerment of women workers in informal settlements through awareness generation, infrastructure provisioning, land tenure security, and provisioning for housing finance. The pilot project was implemented in six settlements in Delhi and Patna with varying jurisdictional, demographic, and socio-economic contexts. The three-year period was marked by disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns, floods, and other socio-political disturbances. Consequently, SEWA adapted its strategies to overcome these challenges. This study examines SEWA’s methodology and strategies using a mixed methods approach, including a review of SEWA literature and field engagement through interviews and focus group discussions with SEWA staff, agewans, elected representatives, and community members. The study analyses the pilot project across, first, capacity building process, community mobilization and stakeholder participation; second, quality of infrastructure services, tenure, and housing finance as perceived by residents; and third, challenges, evolution and readjustment of strategies. Drawing lessons from these, the learning study suggests a way forward for the future expansion of the Zamini Adhikar Abhiyaan programme

Abstract:
The global pandemic has brought renewed attention toward the everyday challenges in informal settlements. COVID-19 reminds us that southern urban life is rooted in ‘collective’ experiences where toilets and kitchens are shared by multiple families; where the categories of work and home, private and public space overlap; and where the majority live in vulnerable conditions. Despite these challenges, some of the most innovative and collective responses to COVID-19 have emerged from these areas. While informal settlements did face a host of risks and vulnerabilities during the pandemic, local responses have highlighted the resilience of informal settlement communities. However, few informal settlements are actually ‘resilient’ and any local responses must be robustly supported by system-wide change including support from local and national governments, improvements to built infrastructure, and improved access to health care services, among other priorities. The category of ‘informal settlements’ also captures a wide range of settlement types, from a legal slum to an informal settlement with no legal status, with many other types in between. This underscores the need to address fundamental issues that ‘perpetuate conditions of inequity, exclusion and vulnerability’ while also recognising the needs and contexts of different kinds of informal settlements. Whether COVID-19 helps governments recognise conditions of insecurity and vulnerability to address safe and secure housing and infrastructures remains to be seen. This is an update to the previous SSHAP brief on ‘COVID-19 in Informal Urban Settlements’ (March 2020). This evidence review highlights local responses, grassroots efforts, and challenges around COVID-19 recovery within urban informal settlements in South Asia. It focuses on specific examples from Karachi, Pakistan and Mumbai, India to inform policy responses for COVID-19 recovery and future epidemic preparedness and response. We show how local level responses are shaped in these cities where national and international responses have not reached communities at municipal and sub-municipal levels.

Abstract:
The enabling approach to housing markets promotes financing systems based on family savings, public subsidies and mortgage loans to unleash the potential of individuals and communities to produce and improve dwellings. However, the approach failed to benefit lower-income households, as they have less ability to generate savings or make mortgage payments. These households are forced to use informal mechanisms to access housing, such as purchasing land in illegal subdivisions or squatting on public land and incrementally building their dwellings. The present work argues that supporting the incremental housing construction undertaken by poor households through an enabling approach can make a signifi cant contribution to solving the housing problem in Latin America. The paper discusses the challenges and opportunities in executing this new type of programme, which requires coordinating the resources and capabilities of the beneficiaries with those of the different levels of government and the civil society. While this paper draws on experiences in Latin America and the Caribbean, the proposed approach is also relevant in other settings.

Abstract:
This report outlines the development of earthquake damage functions and comparative loss metrics for single-family wood-frame buildings with and without seismic retrofit of vulnerable cripple wall and stem wall conditions. The underlying goal of the study is to quantify the benefits of the seismic retrofit in terms of reduced earthquake damage and repair or reconstruction costs. The earthquake damage and economic losses are evaluated based on the FEMA P-58 methodology, which incorporates detailed building information and analyses to characterize the seismic hazard, structural response, earthquake damage, and repair/reconstruction costs. The analyses are informed by and include information from other working groups of the Project to: (1) summarize past research on performance of wood-frame houses; (2) identify construction features to characterize alternative variants of wood-frame houses; (3) characterize earthquake hazard and ground motions in California; (4) conduct laboratory tests of cripple wall panels, wood-frame wall subassemblies and sill anchorages; and (5) validate the component loss models with data from insurance claims adjustors. Damage functions are developed for a set of wood-frame building variants that are distinguished by the number of stories (one- versus two-story), era (age) of construction, interior wall and ceiling materials, exterior cladding material, and height of the cripple walls. The variant houses are evaluated using seismic hazard information and ground motions for several California locations, which were chosen to represent the range seismicity conditions and retrofit design classifications outlined in the FEMA P-1100 guidelines for seismic retrofit. The resulting loss models for the Index Building variants are expressed in terms of three outputs: Mean Loss Curves (damage functions), relating expected loss (repair cost) to ground-motion shaking intensity, Expected Annual Loss, describing the expected (mean) loss at a specific building location due to the risk of earthquake damage, calculated on an annualized basis, and Expected RC250 Loss, which is the cost of repairing damage due to earthquake ground shaking with a return period of 250 years (20% chance of exceedance in 50 years). The loss curves demonstrate the effect of seismic retrofit by comparing losses in the existing (unretrofitted) and retrofitted condition across a range of seismic intensities. The general findings and observations demonstrate: (1) cripple walls in houses with exterior wood siding are more vulnerable than ones with stucco siding to collapse and damage; (2) older pre-1945 houses with plaster on wood lath interior walls are more susceptible to damage and losses than more recent houses with gypsum wallboard interiors; (3) two-story houses are more vulnerable than one-story houses; (4) taller (e.g., 6-ft-tall) cripple walls are generally less vulnerable to damage and collapse than shorter (e.g., 2-ft-tall) cripple walls; (5) houses with deficient stem wall connections are generally observed to be less vulnerable to earthquake damage than equivalent unretrofitted cripple walls with the same superstructure; and (6) the overall risk of losses and the benefits of cripple wall retrofit are larger for sites with higher seismicity. As summarized in the report, seismic retrofit of unbraced cripple walls can significantly reduce the risk of earthquake damage and repair costs, with reductions in Expected RC250 Loss risk of up to 50% of the house replacement value for an older house with wood-frame siding at locations of high seismicity. In addition to the reduction in repair cost risk, the seismic retrofit has an important additional benefit to reduce the risk of major damage that can displace residents from their house for many months.

Abstract:
In response to COVID-19 pandemic supply chain issues, the State of California issued Executive Order (EO) N-19-21 to use state land to increase warehousing capacity. This highlights a land-use paradox between economic and environmental goals: adding warehouse capacity increases climate pollution and traffic congestion around the ports and warehouses, while there is a deficit of affordable housing and high homeless rates in port-adjacent underserved communities. This study aims to inform regional policymakers and community stakeholders about these trade-offs by identifying current and future supply of and demand for warehousing and housing in Southern California through 2040. The study uses statistical analysis and forecasting, and evaluates across numerous scenarios the environmental impact of meeting demand for both with the Community LINE Source Model. Warehousing and housing are currently projected to be in high demand across Southern California in future decades, despite short-run adjustments in the post-pandemic period of inflation and net declines in population. Using state land for warehousing creates environmental justice concerns, as the number of air pollution hotspots increases even with electrifying trucking fleets, especially when compared against low-impact affordable housing developments. However, low-income housing demand appears to be positively correlated with unemployment, suggesting that the jobs provided by warehousing development might help to ameliorate that concern.
