Book Description
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: The issue of extending credit to low-income individuals and impoverished communities who are considered non-bankable is a significant global concern, especially in developing countries. This paper examines the challenges faced by the informal sector, which lacks reliable employment records and monthly income, in securing loans and mortgages due to limited access to land and tenure. The high interest rates offered by local money lenders, ranging from 36% to 20%, pose a burden on the target demographic, requiring low-interest funds and housing cost subsidies. Implementing novel construction methodologies is crucial for cost efficiency. However, the successful adoption of emerging technologies presents obstacles related to awareness, appreciation, and effective implementation. Technology transfer plays a vital role in training personnel, producing components, and providing guidance for the utilization of emerging technologies in housing. The impact of the Indian Building Centre movement is documented, emphasizing the integration of inclusionary measures into local codes, specifications, and procedures to support affordable housing. Government housing policies offer a framework for acquiring resources such as land, finance, materials, and technologies. Reforms focus on enhancing financial stability, expediting approval procedures, and simplifying land and property registration processes. Housing for All programs address the needs of different socio-economic strata through Luxury, Premium, and Affordable Housing options. The effective implementation of Early Warning Systems and National Implementation Guidelines requires financial incentives like subsidies, affordable finance, and access to cost-effective technologies. Social housing allocation is crucial for the lower socio-economic strata.

Innovative Approach for the Development of Sustainable Settlements in East Africa
Author: Oscar Eugenio Bellini
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031002849
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This book deals with sustainable affordable housing in developing countries, providing the main results of the BECOMe research project of the Politecnico di Milano. Sustainable, affordable housing in developing countries is increasingly important for African and international stakeholders, with massive urbanization processes involving many countries consuming large territories and natural resources minus any strategy of sustainability and social equality and without consideration of the long-term effects on the environment and subsequent generations. While the issue of affordable housing requires approaches adapted to the many specific African contexts, the case of Somalia seems representative of a fragile context characterized by the uncertainty of the social, political, and economic situations and the lack of common shared legislative references and strategies. The book aims to provide knowledge and propose a methodological framework developed from this particular situation that can serve as a template. On the basis of this main objective, the book deals with approaches and problems related to the creation of sustainable housing ecosystems, activating and boosting local enterprises and stimulating foreign investors to revamp the national AEC sector and related manufacturing industries, models for modular settlements, and business models and assessment methodologies useful for evaluating a set of appropriate technological solutions. Chapters 03 and 07 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
