Aspects of community participation among slum dwellers in achieving housing in Bombay

Desai, Vandana January 1992 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with the housing and service needs of the poor (slum dwellers) in Bombay and how they are articulated and satisfied. It discusses how the poor perceive the constraints on slum servicing and improvement, their involvement in community organizations, and the role the community and its leaders play in influencing state action. Since housing and servicing issues directly impinge on the interests of politicians and bureaucrats as well as on those of the poor, patterns of provision mirror closely the nature of the relationship between the poor and how political and administrative power operates at various levels. Chapter 1 provides the research aims and objectives while Chapter 2 reviews the literature on community participation. Chapter 3 on Bombay places housing development in context and also serves as background study to the thesis. This research studies three different slum settlements housing migrants to Bombay. Two surveys of these three slum settlements were carried out, involving interviews with 135 households. Chapter 4 describes the characteristics of these households, while chapters 5, 6, and 7 give the arguments of the thesis. It is shown that, despite an established system of representative community organisations and a pro-participation rhetoric in bureaucratic discourse, most slum dwellers are excluded from participating in decision-making. A patron-client relationship exists between politicians, bureaucrats and community leaders, both in determining the community leaders' power as well as the level of services and physical benefits that he/she could win for the slum community. Leaders are generally better educated, better employed, more prosperous and highly motivated than most of their community. The NGO in this study has acted mainly as intermediary between the government and the slum-dwellers.

"Most humble homes": slum landlords, tenants, and the Melbourne City Council's health administration, 1888-1918

Hicks, Paul Gerald Unknown Date (has links) (PDF)
The thesis examines the relationship between public health and questions of housing and poverty, in Melbourne, 1888- 1918. It is concerned with the way that with certain groups of people - local council workers, tenants of houses referred to as ‘slums’, and the owners of those houses - represented their experiences. And it seeks to place those representations in the context of the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century concern about the ‘housing problems’. It compares the public rhetoric of the housing reformers and politicians with letters written to the Melbourne City Council by landlords and tenants, and in doing so seeks to show that there were a whole range of housing ‘problems’ not addressed by the public discourse.

Du bidonville à la cité : les trois âges des luttes pro-immigrés : une sociohistoire à Nanterre (1957-2011) / From slums to cités : the three stages of pro-immigrant struggles, a social history of Nanterre (1957-2011)

Collet, Victor 06 December 2013 (has links)
Fin des années 1950. Nanterre, terre communiste et d’immigration. Terre de luttes. La politisation ouvrière et communiste rencontre la guerre d’Algérie et les bidonvilles où vivent des milliers d’Algériens, de Marocains et de Portugais. A l’éloignement municipal avec ces Nanterriens venus d’ailleurs et au traitement exceptionnel infligé à ces derniers répond la naissance d’une cause des étrangers. Cette thèse explore les différents « âges » de cette cause, en les liant au cadrage public du problème par la municipalité. L’histoire sociale et l’action collective de longue durée examinent ces luttes de l’immigration souvent oubliées, depuis les bidonvilles à l’engagement dans les cités aujourd’hui, et interrogent les rapports entre champ politique et mouvement social. Déportant le regard, la sociohistoire montre l’écart entre passé et présent, pensable et possible : de l’inventaire des problèmes par les pionniers chrétiens, de l’hybridation des luttes dans l’après 68 radicalisant la cause des « travailleurs immigrés » à gauche, à son éclatement actuel en autant d’engagements particuliers – socioculturel et de cité, pour une mémoire positive de l’immigration ou la diversité en politique, en soutien aux étrangers ou au pays d’émigration. S’y éclaire un changement majeur du répertoire militant : la déradicalisation et l’ascension associative, qui croisent au début des années 1980, le dédoublement entre soutien aux immigrés (enracinés) et défense des étrangers (fraichement arrivés). Moment où, paradoxalement, les enfants d’immigrés prennent en main leur défense pour en finir avec les derniers vestiges du « ghetto français » dans lequel on les a placés : les cités de transit. / End of the 50's. Nanterre, communist stronghold and immigration land. Land of struggles. The politicized workers and communist activists encounter the Algerian conflict and the slums where thousands of migrants from Algeria, Morocco and Portugal are living. In response to the marginalization of these "Nanterriens" from abroad and the special status imposed upon them, a cause des étrangers emerges.This dissertation explores the various "stages" of that cause, linking them to the handling of the issue by the municipal authorities. Social history and the long term collective action review those often forgotten struggles of the immigration, from the slums to the involvement in today's cités, and question the relationship between the political domain and the social movement. Sociohistory shifts the focus to the gap between past and present, from the pioneering assessment of problems by christian activists, through the post-68 leftist radicalization of the cause of migrant workers, to the present day fragmentation into specific engagements: in the socio-cultural field, at the cité level, promoting a positive memory of immigration or diversité in politics, in support of the étrangers or their country of origin. It highlights a major change in the activist arena: the unradicalization and the growth of grassroots initiatives, which echo at the beginning of the 80's the de-coupling of support to the immigrés (already settled) and defence of the étrangers (newly arrived). This is also the time when the children of immigrés take things in their own hands to put an end to the last remnants of the "French ghetto" where they have been relegated: the cités de transit.

Over the years, the question has many faces and many speeches. From the moment in which the Governments of the State and the municipality, since the years of 1950, made the popular representations of the slums part of its political representations, the power of discussion, participation and claim this portion of the population was diminished and dispersed. This fact paved the way for handling investments and public policies that have increased social inequality and, consequently, in places such as the neighborhood of Caju, promoted business growth policies, so intense and predatory who created in concomitance to social problems, severe environmental injustice frames. In search for the strengthening of this stage of debate, this research seeks to collaborate with the portrait of a region barely visible in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, and that since its occupation as housing area, has been transformed into environmental scanning utility territory, where inequalities arise and imprison an increasing population in the circuits of social and environmental risk. The result is a fragile reality display, and the deeper discussion about the social and environmental situation in the neighborhood of Caju / Desde o final do período monárquico, e já no nascimento da república, o problema social da pobreza e das favelas já impactava a formação da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Ao longo dos anos, a questão adotou muitas faces e muitos discursos. A partir do momento em que os governos do Estado e do Município, desde os anos de 1950, tornaram as representações populares das favelas parte de suas representações políticas, o poder de discussão, participação e reivindicação dessa parcela da população foi diminuído e disperso. Tal fato abriu caminho para a manipulação de investimentos e políticas públicas que aumentaram a desigualdade social e, por conseguinte, em locais como o bairro do Caju, promoveram políticas de crescimento empresarial tão intensas e predatórias, que criaram, em concomitância aos problemas sociais, graves quadros de injustiça ambiental. Na busca pelo fortalecimento deste palco de debates, esta pesquisa pretende colaborar com a composição do retrato de uma região, pouco visível no município do Rio de Janeiro, que, desde sua ocupação como área de moradia, vem sendo transformada em território utilitário de exploração ambiental. Nela, as desigualdades afloram e aprisionam uma população cada vez maior nos circuitos de risco social e ambiental. O resultado desta pesquisa é a exposição de uma realidade frágil e a discussão mais profunda sobre a situação social e ambiental do bairro do Caju.

Centro de Pesquisas Gonçalo Moniz. Salvador, Bahia, Brasil / A leptospirose é um importante problema de saúde urbana devido às epidemias anuais que ocorrem em comunidades carentes e à alta mortalidade associada às formas graves. Os ratos são considerados os principais reservatórios na transmissão urbana. Entretanto, não existem estudos que sistematicamente definam os fatores de infestação por ratos e as características ambientais que influenciam o risco de transmissão da leptospirose. Objetivos: 1) Determinar a associação entre infestação por roedores e infecção por Leptospira em um estudo de coorte prospectivo realizado em uma comunidade carente de Salvador-BA. 2) Desenvolver e validar um escore domiciliar baseado em características da infestação de ratos para predizer o risco de leptospirose em Salvador. Métodos: Para o objetivo 1 realizou-se um estudo de caso-controle aninhado numa coorte longitudinal onde foram definidos como domicílios-casos aqueles que tiveram um ou mais indivíduos com infecção assintomática por Leptospira. Controles foram domicílios aleatoriamente selecionados daqueles que tiveram indivíduos sem infecção. Avaliaram-se domicílios registrando sinais de infestação por roedores e características ambientais e foi realizada regressão logística para identificar fatores de risco para infecção. Para o objetivo 2 desenvolveu-se um estudo caso-controle 1:2, onde domicílios-casos foram aqueles nos quais residiam pessoas (casos) com leptospirose. Utilizou-se metodologia similar a do objetivo 1 para avaliar e analisar fatores de risco. Adicionalmente foi desenvolvido um escore preditivo baseado no modelo de regressão logística que foi validado num grupo independente de domicílios-casos e controle. Utilizaram-se curvas características de recepção (ROC) para analisar o desempenho preditivo do escore. Resultados: Objetivo 1: Registrou-se elevado nível de infestação por Rattus norvegicus (>45%). Identificaram-se como fatores de risco de infecção: fezes de R. norvegicus (OR 4.6 IC 95% 1.9-10.7), tocas (OR 2.8, IC 95% 1.1-7.3), parede do domicilio sem reboco (OR 2.5, IC 95% 1.1-7.4) e renda domiciliar per capita (OR 0.9 por US$/dia, IC 95% 0.8-0.9). Objetivo 2: Achamos uma elevada proporção (>44%) de domicílios infestados. Os fatores de risco independentes para leptospirose foram tocas, fezes de Rattus norvegicus, trilhas, casa abandonada <10m e domicílio sem reboco. Designaram-se valores de escore para cada fator de risco (3, 3, 2, 2 e 2 respectivamente). A área sob a curva ROC foi 0,70 (IC95%, 0,64-0,76) para o grupo de desenvolvimento e 0,71 (95; 0,65-0,79) para o de validação. Conclusões: Foi identificada uma elevada proporção de domicílios infestados com R. norvegicus. Os fatores de risco para infecção por Leptospira e leptospirose grave foram similares. Foi definido e validado um escore preditivo que identifica domicílios de elevado risco dentro de comunidades com transmissão endêmica de leptospirose. Estes achados sugerem que a triagem da infestação por roedores e a identificação de domicílios de risco, podem constituir ações de uma estratégia recomendável para dirigir intervenções de controle de roedores em populações de risco. / Leptospirosis is a relevant problem of urban health because of the epidemics occurring in cities throughout the developing world and the high mortality associated with severe disease. In urban areas, leptospirosis is transmitted to humans by the rodent Rattus norvegicus. However, there are no studies that systematically defined rodent infestation factors and environmental characteristics that influence the risk for Leptospirosis transmission. Aims: 1) To identify environmental risk factors for asymptomatic or subclinical Leptospira transmission. 2) To develop and validate a household score based on rodent infestation characteristics to predict leptospirosis risk in Salvador. Methods: For aim 1 a nested case-control study was conducted in the study site. A household was regarded as a case household if at least one new Leptospira infection occurred among cohort subjects. Control households were randomly selected and households were surveyed for signs of rodent infestation and environmental characteristics. We used conditional logistic regression modeling to identify risk factors for Leptospira infection. For aim 2 we developed a case-control study (1:2), where case households were households in which leptospirosis cases resided. Control households were located within 30m of a case-household. We used similar methodology to that in aim 1 to identify and analyze risk factors for leptospirosis. Additionally, we used the logistic regression model to develop a predictive score for leptospirosis that was validated in an independent group of cases and control households. We used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to evaluate the performance of the prediction score. Results: Aim 1: we identified a high level of R. norvegicus infestation (>45%). We identified the following independent risk factors: R. norvegicus feces (OR 4.6 CI 95% 1.9-10.7), burrows (OR 2.8, CI 95% 1.1-7.3), unplastered walls (OR 2.5, CI 95% 1.1-7.4) and household per capita income (OR 0.9 for each US$ per day increase, CI 95% 0.8-0.9). Aim 2: more than 44% of the households presented rodent signs. Independent risk factors for acquiring leptospirosis in a household were rodent burrows, Rattus norvegicus feces, rodent runs, household bordering an abandoned house, and unplastered walls. A prediction score was developed by assigning points (3, 3, 2, 2 and 2 respectively) to each risk factor. The area under the ROC curve for the scoring system was 0.70 (95% CI, 0.64-0.76) and 0.71 (0.65-0.79) for the development and validation datasets. Conclusions: Our study indicates that high proportions of urban slum households are infested with R. norvegicus. Risk factors for asymptomatic Leptospira infection and severe leptospirosis were similar. The prediction score showed good performance in identifying high-risk households for leptospirosis. These findings suggest that community-based screening for rodent infestation can be a strategy to target rodent and environmental control measures to populations at highest risk for leptospirosis

Evangélicos em ação nas favelas cariocas: um estudo sócio-antropológico sobre redes de proteção, tráfico de drogas e religião no Complexo de Acari / Evangelicals in action in Rio's slums: a socio-anthropological study on protection networks drugs and religion in Complex Acari

Christina Vital da Cunha 24 August 2009 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O objetivo desta tese é discutir como os moradores de favelas no Rio de Janeiro fazem para experimentar segurança em meio ao cotidiano marcado por inseguranças, violência e vulnerabilidade social. Minha hipótese central é que os moradores destas localidades visualizam nas lealdades primordiais (GEERTZ, 2008 [1973]), nas relações de vizinhança e em redes formadas em torno do pertencimento a instituições religiosas, sobretudo as pentecostais e neopentecostais a base da segurança necessária para organizarem suas vidas, suas rotinas. Busquei responder às questões que me animavam a partir de um investimento etnográfico em duas favelas cariocas, a saber, Santa Marta, localizada no bairro de Botafogo, Zona Sul, e, principalmente, Acari, localizada entre bairros da Zona Norte da cidade. Ao longo da etnografia realizei entrevistas semi-estruturadas com moradores evangélicos, traficantes, homens, mulheres, jovens e idosos, lideranças políticas e culturais. A partir destas entrevistas, assim como das conversas informais com moradores nestas favelas, pude observar a grande dificuldade que os moradores das referidas localidades têm, face à violência, para experimentar constantemente segurança e confiança, mesmo no caso dos moradores que desfrutam de densas redes de solidariedade e proteção baseadas no parentesco e/ou na partilha de identidade religiosa pentecostal. A paranóia, o medo da fofoca e do inimigo à espreita tomam conta do cotidiano de moradores (e também de traficantes). Neste contexto, identifiquei nas suas tentativas de consolidação de vínculos sociais e afetivos, mas também em seus diversos cálculos em termos de evitação da violência suas principais estratégias para viver o dia-a-dia com certa tranqüilidade. O curso da etnografia possibilitou, ainda, refletir sobre a importância da articulação analítica de dois eixos temáticos para o estudo da favela como fenômeno urbano/social hoje: religião e violência. Esta avaliação é fruto da observação das aproximações entre traficantes que passaram, nessas localidades, a experimentar novas formas de expressão de fé. Se, nas décadas de 1980-1990, os traficantes de Acari expunham em seus corpos, em suas casas e nos muros da favela imagens e orações que remetiam ao universo religioso afro-brasileiro, na atualidade, acionam uma gramática pentecostal e pintam nos muros da favela salmos e outras passagens bíblicas. Se antes pediam proteção às mães-de-santo, agora pedem proteção às lideranças evangélicas e à comunidade de irmãos, assim como comemoram seus aniversários em cultos de ação de graça. A interface entre traficantes e evangélicos nas favelas estudadas, com destaque para Acari, vem produzindo, sustento, reequilíbrios de poder no interior do campo político e religioso local e, até, supralocal. / The objective of this thesis is to discuss how inhabitants of slums in Rio de Janeiro experiment security amid their quotidian which is permeated by insecurities, violence and social vulnerability. My central hypothesis is that the inhabitants of these localities envision in primordial loyalties (GEERZT, 2008 [1973]), in neighborhood relationships and in networks formed from the sense of belonging to religious institutions, specially the Pentecostals and Neopentecostals, the basis of the necessary security that enables the organization of their lives, their quotidian activities. I aimed to answer the questions that stimulated me from an ethnographic investment in two carioca slums: Santa Marta, located in Botafogo, South Zone and mainly Acari, located between neighborhoods in the North Zone of the city. Throughout the ethnography I carried out semi-structured interviews with evangelical inhabitants, drug traffickers, men, women, youngsters, elders and political and cultural leaderships. Parting from these interviews, as well as the informal conversations whit the other inhabitants of these slums, I could observe that they have great difficulty in experiencing constant security and trust, even in the cases of those who enjoy dense solidarity and protection networks based on kinship and/or sharing Pentecostal religious identities. The paranoia, the fear of gossip and of the enemy on de lookout takeover the lives of these people (and also of the traffickers) on the field. The course of the ethnography enabled a reflection about the importance of analytical articulation of two thematic axis for the study of the slum as an urban/social phenomenon today: religion and violence. That evaluation is fruit of the observation towards the approximation between traffickers who, in these localities, experienced new forms of expression of faith. If in the 1980-1990 decades the traffickers of Acari would expose on their bodies, in their houses and on the slum walls images and prayers the remitted to the afro-brazilian religious universe, currently, they put forward a Pentecostal grammar and paint psalms and other biblical parts on the walls of the slum. If they used to ask protection to the mother-of-saint, now they ask protection to evangelical leaders and the brotherhood community, as well as celebrate their birthdays in thanksgiving cults. The interface between traffickers and evangelicals in the studied communities, with emphasis to Acari, have been producing a livelihood and re-balancing of power in the local and even supra local political and religious field.

O lugar guardado à regularização fundiária de interesse social na política nacional urbana : o Programa Papel Passado no Estado de São Paulo

Carvalho, Guilherme Carpintero de January 2017 (has links)
Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Rosana Denaldi / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Planejamento e Gestão do Território, 2017. / O objetivo da pesquisa é realizar uma análise crítica do programa Papel Passado, instituído em 2003. Este é o primeiro programa nacional criado com a finalidade de atuar no tema da irregularidade fundiária. Os objetivos específicos são: identificar os resultados alcançados (em termos quantitativos, de estágios da regularização fundiária, legados do programa) e refletir sobre os entraves que ajudam a explicar as dificuldades identificadas no desenvolvimento do programa. Tendo em vista atender a estes objetivos o estudo estrutura-se a partir de quatro questões. A primeira trata da apresentação das origens da irregularidade fundiária no país. A segunda refere-se ao histórico das políticas públicas sobre o tema nos três níveis de governo, desde as primeiras experiências até o período recente. A terceira problematiza os entraves usuais da implementação da regularização fundiária. A quarta trata do programa Papel Passado. É apresentada uma visão panorâmica do programa e um estudo aprofundado da sua implementação no estado de São Paulo. Para este fim, são analisados todos os contratos de repasse firmados pelos municípios paulistas, bem como são realizadas entrevistas com gestores municipais e técnicos da CAIXA. Entre os resultados, ressaltamos a longa duração do desenvolvimento de todas as etapas (incluindo aquelas não destinadas a executar as ações de regularização), um número relevante de contratos cancelados e que tiveram que reduzir suas metas iniciais para serem concluídos, bem como que o programa contribuiu para apoiar especialmente os estágios iniciais do processo de regularização. Entretanto, identificamos a continuidade de um número relevante de processos após o encerramento dos contratos, além de uma contribuição do programa para o aprimoramento da política local de regularização fundiária. Constatamos ainda três grupos de questões que corroboram para entender as dificuldades no desenvolvimento do programa, que se relacionam à capacidade administrativa municipal, ao desenho do programa e aos procedimentos de contratação e execução dos contratos na CAIXA, além da própria complexidade da natureza da regularização fundiária. / The research aims to provide a critical analysis of the program Papel Passado. This is the first national program created with the finality of facing the land regularization problem in Brazil. Our specific goals are: to identify the results (in quantitative terms, phases of regularization reached, legacies, among others) and to discuss the barriers that can explain the identified difficulties to the development of the program. Attending these objectives the thesis is structured by four issues. The first is related to the origin of the irregular settlements. The second treats of the historic of public policies on land regularization in Brazil, in the three levels of government, since the early experiences until today. The third is aimed to highlight the usual barriers of the land regularization policies. The fourth is about the program Papel Passado. It is presented an overview on the program and an in depth study on its implementation in São Paulo state. This study is supported by the analysis of all the process of the contracts established with the municipalities of São Paulo and as well as by interviews conducted with public managers and technicians who work in the bank (CAIXA) that supervises the development of the contracts. Between the results we highlight the long duration of all the contract phases (including the ones that are not related with the land regularization itself), a relevant quantity of cancelled contracts and contracts that had to reduce its initial objectives to be concluded. Besides, we identify that the program contributed to support specially the early phases of the land regularization process. However, through the interviews we realized that a relevant number of regularization process that started with the program had continuity before the end of the contracts, furthermore the program contributed to the improvement of the local land regularization policies. We also presented a discussion about three groups of issues that can help to understand the difficulties in the development of the program: the limits of management capacity of the municipalities, the design of the program and the procedures required to contract and to implement the contracts with the CAIXA, besides the own complexity of the land regularization nature.
