Survey Results

Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm đánh giá thực trạng phát triển nhà ở xã hội (NOXH) cho người có thu nhập thấp (TNT) tại một số đô thị trên địa bàn tỉnh Bình Định trên cơ sở thu thập số liệu từ các phòng ban chức năng và khảo sát thực địa. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy phát triển NOXH tại tỉnh Bình Định đã giải quyết vấn đề về nhà ở cho 1.876 hộ TNT trong giai đoạn 2009-2019. Nguồn cung về NOXH cho người có TNT có sự thay đổi tích cực: giai đoạn 2018-2020 tăng gấp 12,55 lần so với giai đoạn 2009-2017. Các dự án NOXH cho người có TNT tập trung chủ yếu ở thành phố Quy Nhơn cho thấy sự đầu tư có trọng điểm, có thứ tự ưu tiên. Tỉnh đã huy động được các doanh nghiệp tư nhân tham gia đầu tư xây dựng NOXH cho người TNT. Tuy nhiên, nhiều dự án NOXH cho người có TNT chậm tiến độ hoặc không triển khai, chưa tiếp cận đúng người TNT có nhu cầu nhà ở, tình trạng sang nhượng NOXH không đúng quy định, chất lượng một số công trình chưa đảm bảo và công tác quản lý NOXH chưa đạt hiệu quả mong muốn. Trong nghiên cứu cũng đề xuất được một số giải pháp nhằm tăng hiệu quả tiếp cận NOXH cho người có TNT tại Bình Định. ABSTRACT This study was conducted to assess the status of social housing development for low-income people in some urban areas in Binh Dinh province based on data collection from functional departments and survey results. Research results showed that the development of social housing for low-income people in Quy Nhon city, An Nhon town and Bong Son town in Binh Dinh province has provided 1,760 apartments for people with low income in the period of 2009 - 2019. In this period, 10 housing projects for low-income people were implemented in the study area, of which 05 projects were launched for sale and 05 projects were delayed. The supply of social housing for low-income people has not met the targets, the management and development of social housing for low-income people in the study area is not strict. According to the social housing development plan, the total social housing supply will be 3.966 units in 2020 and 4.900.550 units in the period of 2021 - 2025. The study has proposed four solutions to increase the effectiveness of social housing development for low-income people in Binh Dinh.

The Social

Australia’s social housing sector is under great pressure. Actions to improve social housing sector capacity and responsiveness have occupied the minds and endeavours of many policy makers, practitioners and scholars for some time now. This article focusses on one approach to challenges within the sector recently adopted in a socio-economically disadvantaged area within Adelaide, South Australia: transfer of housing stock from the public to the community housing sector for capacity and community building purposes (the Better Places, Stronger Communities Public Housing Transfer Program). The discussion draws on evaluative research about this northern Adelaide program, which has a deliberate theoretical and practical foundation in community development and place-making as a means for promoting and strengthening social inclusion, complementing its tenancy management and asset growth focuses. Tenants and other stakeholders report valued outcomes from the program’s community development activities—the focus of this article—which have included the coproduction of new and necessary social and physical infrastructures to support community participation and engagement among (vulnerable) tenants and residents, confidence in the social landlord and greater feelings of safety and inclusion among tenants, underpinning an improving sense of home, community and place. Consideration of program outcomes and lessons reminds us of the importance of the ‘social’ in social housing and social landlords. The program provides a model for how social landlords can work with tenants and others to (re)build home and community in places impacted by structural disadvantage, dysfunction, or change. The article adds to the literature on the role of housing, in this case community housing, as a vehicle for place-making and promoting community development and social inclusion.

Development Policies

Ho Chi Minh City is considered as one of the most developed economic and financial centers of Viet Nam. In addition to the achievements, the city's development has also put considerable pressure on addressing housing needs for the residents. In recent years, the demand for social housing for low-income people in developed cities has accounted for a high proportion, up to 60% of the total. Although the city government has been had many policies to encourage investers to participate in social housing projects and provide financial support for home buyers, the results are still quite limited. Currently, real estate projects are generally focused on commercial housing projects due to high profitability and fast capital recovery time; together with the house prices in urban areas are constantly increasing and many times higher than the average income of the residents. The above factors have put great pressure on urban housing development to ensure basic rights to accommodation of the people. The article summarizes the current situation of social housing development policies in Ho Chi Minh City from 2006 to present; assess achievements and shortcomings; thereby proposing solutions to help improve the effectiveness of social housing development policies in urban areas.

Decent Life

The housing crisis has become a major concern among Algerian citizens seeking a decent life. Low- and medium-income Algerians are facing this issue, despite various policies introduced by the state to ensure everyone is having access to housing provision. Based on the literature, majority of low- and medium-income Algerians are unable to own or buy a decent house, this leads them renting low-quality houses. The article aims to describe the current housing policies and the various housing programmes implemented in Algeria. An analysis on the architectural design of a sample of social housing units will also be discussed in this article. The findings of this research highlight the deficits, and the inferior quality of social housing in Batna city as a particular case study. Therefore, the collaboration of different stakeholders including government policies, architects and designers are needed for good quality social housing development.

Policies And Practices

The final chapter calls for a decisive break from the policies and practices and removal of the blockages that have strangled social and affordable housing development over the past 40 years. It calls for a national social housing drive to solve the housing crisis. The chapter argues that radical land and planning reforms are essential, and that local government will need to be refocused and re-skilled for this task. It warns of the likely backlash from the property lobby who will attempt to block any or all of these reforms. Therefore, continued community pressure and action is essential if reform is to be achieved.
