Thesis (MS en S) -- Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa has a housing backlog of approximately 900 000 houses. The
government and non-government organizations tries to provide housing for
the disadvantage people of our land through sustainable development in an
attempt control the housing crises. This study makes the point that
sustainable development not nessereraly means the same as acceptable
development. In order to provide acceptable housing with in the contexts of
sustainable development, it is necessary to give more in depth and equal
consideration to the social, economical and environmental aspects of
sustainable development. This study focus on what is meant by the above
mentioned aspects of sustainable development and what the direct and
indirect impacts will be if it is not taken into consideration during the planning
and construction faze of low-cost housing. Even though this study doesn’t
provide the solutions to providing acceptable housing, it does make a few
suggestions on how to obtain acceptable housing, not only for the people
directly involved but also for the greater community of South Africa. One of
the suggestions that, according to this study, should strongly be considered is
the use of alternative building methods such as straw and clay, not only for
the obvious environmental benefits but also for the economical and social
benefits. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika sit tans met ’n behuisings-agterstand van ongeveer 900 000
huise. Die regering en nie-regerings organinsasies poog om deur die proses
van volhoubare ontwikkeling, lae-koste behuising vir die behoeftige mense
van die land te voorsien om sodoende die behuisingskrisis aan te spreek.
Hierdie werkstuk maak die standpunt dat volhoubare ontwikkeling nie
noodwendig sinoniem is met aanvaarbare behuising nie. Om aanvaarbare
behuising te voorsien moet die huise binne die raamwerk van volhoubare
ontwikkeling gebou word, maar daar moet meer in diepte gekyk word na, en
gelyke hoeveelheid aandag aan alle sosiale-, ekonomiese- en
omgewingsfaktore gegee word. Die werkstuk kyk in diepte na wat bedoel
word met bogenoemde drie aspekte van volhoubare ontwikkeling en wat die
direkte en indirekte gevolge is as dit nie in ag geneem word tydens die
beplannings- en konstruksiefases van lae-koste behuising nie. Alhoewel die
werkstuk nie defnitiewe oplossings bied vir die voorsiening van aanvaarbare
behuising nie, word ‘n paar voorstelle gemaak van hoe behuisingsprojekte
meer aanvaarbaar gemaak kan word, nie net vir die begunstigdes en
owerhede nie, maar ook vir die res van die samelewing. Een van die
voorstelle wat volgens die werkstuk baie sterk oorweeg behoort te word, is dat
alternatiewe boumetodes (soos strooibale en klei) gebruik moet word, nie net
vir die van selfsprekende ekologiese voordele wat dit inhou nie, maar ook vir
ekonomiese en sosiale voordele.
