Housing policy-making in Africa: Ten common assumptions
Furthering the urban agenda in developing countries: Guidelines for preparing national State of Cities Reports
State of Cities Reports (SoCRs) are an important tool for urban planning and have been used increasingly over the past decade. They are based on the underlying belief that cities are important at national, regional and global scales and that they are fundamentally different from smaller places and rural areas and, thus, require specific analyses and responses. A second underlying belief is that it is useful to look at groups of cities, for exampl…
Realities of life and housing in a poor neighbourhood in urban China: Livelihoods and vulnerabilities in Shanghai Lane, Wuhan
A market-oriented housing principle has been operated in China for more than ten years, but not until recently has the Chinese government officially admitted that relying solely on the market is inefficient with regard to housing provision for people living in poverty. Most development discourse in China has taken place at the macro level, based largely on quantitative data and progress indicators which fail to present the realities of life for o…
Funding the home-based enterprise: Finance and credit in developing country livelihoods
Micro-credit is centre-stage in international development circles, not least because of the UN Year of Micro-credit in 2005. This paper examines data collected for a study of the environmental impacts of home-based enterprises (HBEs) to assess the nature of micro-credit use by their operators. Our case studies were of 150 HBE operators in each of the following locations: Surabaya, New Delhi, Pretoria and Cochabamba. Though micro-credit is availab…
Who is homeless in developing countries: Differentiating between inadequately housed and homeless people
In deciding who is housed and who is homeless in developing countries, planners often display muddled thinking, rejecting accommodation which is considered acceptable by its residents. While industrialised nations regard inadequate housing as almost synonymous with homelessness, this congruence may be unhelpful in developing countries in which a large proportion of households live in housing which could be defined as inadequate. From the results …
Perceptions, Persecution and Pity: The Limitations of Interventions for Homelessness in Developing Countries
Interventions for homelessness in developing countries are frequently negative and unhelpful. They tend to exist in an environment of hostility, suspicion and apathy towards homeless people. This environment is cultivated and enhanced by negative and derogatory language and images used by politicians, the public and the media in their portrayal of homeless people as unemployed, beggars, drunks and criminals. Findings from a recently completed stu…
Employment and work conditions in home-based enterprises in four developing countries: Do They Constitute 'Decent Work
In a study undertaken from a context of urban plann ing policy, we have been able to gather support for the contention that home-based e nterprises (HBEs) represent a better picture in respect to the ILO concept of ‘de cent work’ than might be expected, especially from the literature on homeworkers. Whil e home-working and some production undoubtedly represent conditions that do not contribute to decent work, HBEs score well on ensuring sufficien…
Definitions of homelessness in developing countries
The Place of Home-based Enterprises in the Informal Sector: Evidence from Cochabamba, New Delhi, Surabaya and Pretoria
Home-based enterprises (HBEs) are an accepted component in the informal sector in rapidly developing cities. However, they have generally received quite a bad press, especially through a concentration on the exploitation evident in piece-rate homework. From our work in low-income neighbourhoods in Cochabamba (Bolivia), New Delhi (India), Surabaya (Indonesia) and Pretoria (South Africa), we assess HBEs with respect to the characteristics of the in…
Settlement upgrading and home-based enterprises: Discussions from empirical data
Housing the Poor in the Developing World
In search of a home
Sequential Fixed Cost Evaluators: A Probabilities Approach
The continuing consideration of the 'priority-evaluator approach' demonstrates how one may formulate and test hypotheses relating to the priority-evaluator data rather than merely present subjective evaluations of the data. Earlier reports, which considered only the initial round of the game, are reviewed, while the second part of the game is introduced, together with attendant analytical problems, particularly in testing against randomness. With…
