Effects of Resident Control and Ownership in Self-Help Housing
调查了萨尔瓦多两个自助住房项目和一个棚户区改造项目,研究居民对住房的控制权和所有权如何影响其满意度和投资行为。
In developing countries a practical counterpart to Turner's ideas has been a shift in housing policy toward site-andservice projects, but residents often have little control over the location, design and management of projects. This becomes obvious when intended residents refuse to occupy the newly serviced sites (Laquian 1976; Burns and Grebler 1977). The same problems have also led to housing abandonment in developed countries. Resident control over housing in siteand-service projects can be exercised at both the dwelling and neighborhood levels. At the individual level, new site owners are given perhaps their first opportunity to make their own housing investment decisions. At the neighborhood level, organizing a new community requires many collective decisions that offer the possibility for residents' participation. This paper presents the results of a survey of resident satisfaction and housing investment behavior at two self-help housing projects and one squatter upgrading project in El Salvador. The two self-help projects were financed by the Fundacion Salvadorena de Desarrollo y Vivienda Minima (Salvadoran Foundation for Development and Low Cost Housing, hereafter FSDVM), a private organization with support from the Inter-American Foundation. The upgrading project was undertaken by the Instituto de Vivienda Urbana (Urban Housing Institute, hereafter IVU), a government agency.
