dc.description.abstract | The last two decades of the twentieth century have witnessed fundamental
changes in our way of life. This change is due to the economic and political
restructuring on a global scale that has left hardly any single nation untouched.
One of the major impacts of globalization is the rapid urbanization and the
uneven development experienced in the form of mega-cities. The study
illustrates the interaction between the way of life of the inhabitants in lowincome
settlements and physical spaces in one of the mega-cities, Dhaka. The
factors that affect the physical organization of spaces and its quality are
evaluated with respect to the survival strategy of the low-income dwellers. In
this respect, the physical characteristics of three types of low-income
settlements in Dhaka are investigated; namely resettlement camps, legal bustees
and illegal bustees. Besides the housing and neighborhood characteristics, the
economic, social and cultural status of people living in those areas are
examined by means of questionnaires, in depth interviews and personal
observation. The questionnaires aim to evaluate the daily interaction of people
with public and private spaces. The differences observed in the characteristics
and quality of spaces in those settlements occupied by people with similar
backgrounds give us the chance to analyze the factors, which may account for
these differences. | en_US |
