The search for spatial order in squatter settlements : a case study of New Delhi, IndiaKumar, Shefali. January 1998 (has links)
This statement forms the basic premise for the proposed research study. An attempt has been made to search for the inherent order in the seemingly "unplanned" squatter settlements. / Spatial order, an expression of the socio-cultural milieu of the residents, needs multi-disciplinary analysis. The research methodology selected encompasses the principles of spatial (morphological) analysis and the field work techniques of ethnography. Data has been collected empirically from the field. Since the proposed research uses a case-study research design, analysis and interpretation is qualitative rather than quantitative. / The study has been conducted in a trial and error, sequential process. Various models and methods have been used in this search for spatial order. The process tested the hypothesis at different levels---geometric, functional and social, and finally documented the residents' viewpoints. This was deemed essential as the residents are the actual generators of this built environment. The first two levels could not verify the hypothesis on their own accord but when overlaid by the third component, all three added-up to indicate the existence of order in squatter settlements.

Architects for empowerment : understanding, exploring, and responding to the needs of the impoverished in Pune, IndiaSarpotdar, Shalaka S. January 2009 (has links)
As developing India faces rapid urbanization, the provision of sufficient infrastructure
facilities to the informal settlers remains a major challenge. Pune is a second tier city in
the state of Maharashtra which is transforming itself into a metropolitan city. The
research is an attempt to better understand the existence of slums, explore and suggest
empowerment opportunities to improve the living conditions of an informal settlement
dweller.
It questions the scope and limitations of the architectural profession specific to the
responsibilities of architects towards the impoverished people within the society. This
study argues and advocates the need to understand and respond accordingly to the
needs of the people who lack access to resources. As an attempt to better understand
this perspective, the study takes a closer look at the works and philosophies of Dr. Wes
Janz, Dr. Nihal Perera, Prof. Hector LaSala, Lebbeus Woods, Ar. Pratima Joshi, Prof.
Nabeel Hamdi, and Robert Neuwirth. Also the research explains the efforts of several
non profit organizations like School on Wheels (Indianapolis), Second Helpings
(Indianapolis), Hamara Footpath (Mumbai, India), and MicroPlace which work towards
providing better living conditions to disadvantaged people.
The study concludes with a proposal for a Non Governmental Organization in Pune,
India that will provide the slum dwellers access to education, the internet, and monetary
resources which will lead towards their enablement. / Paradigm shift -- The naked truth -- Generations of social exile -- Do we really know slums? -- Existence of Pune slums -- Architectural education in India -- Implications of development -- Agents of change -- Are we well equipped as professionals? -- Exploring various forms of empowerment -- Proposal for an NGO. / Department of Architecture

Comparative implementation strategies for the progressive realisation of the right to adequate housing in South Africa, Canada and IndiaMmusinyane, Boitumelo Obert 09 February 2016 (has links)
The central hypothesis of this thesis is that the universal fundamental right to adequate housing must be equally enforced by all states irrespective of its non-entrenchment as a constitutional, legislative and/or policy entitlement. Despite being a minority, poor Canadians still face the same sordid living conditions that the majority are experiencing in South Africa and India. If a developed country such as Canada, despite its available resources and housing policies, and, similar to South Africa and India as third world countries, fails to improve the poor’s standard of living, the right to adequate housing will remain a distant dream for many.
Any housing implementation strategy must be able to reduce housing backlogs, eradicate homelessness and slums and in general improve the poor’s standard of living. The thesis considers the diverse implementation strategies of the right to adequate housing as adopted by South Africa, Canada and India and reveals how each country has experienced systemic challenges. Against the background of international and regional human rights obligations, key issues are investigated to determine how to properly implement, enforce and monitor the right, include the role of a constitutionally entrenched right, the adoption of a housing legislative and/or policy measures, the role of the judiciary, (in)action on the part of government and the part played by national human rights commissions. While each of these three countries approaches the issue in their own unique way, and each country makes its own contribution, what is required is a coordinated and multi-faceted housing implementation system.
Although the point of departure was to determine what South Africa could learn from Canada and India, the conclusion is that both Canada and India can draw inspiration from South Africa. Nevertheless, the main conclusions are that South Africa must urgently conduct a comprehensive review of its regressive 20 year housing implementation strategy and India’s 61 years five year plans. The Canadian judiciary should be looking at ways to enforce the right within the Canadian Charter as well as its domestic legislation to include ‘social condition’ as a discrimination ground. While both Canada and India must review their housing policies their judiciaries should be evaluating the history of homelessness and the reasonableness of their adopted housing policies. / Private Law / LLD
