ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the changes in access to basic services and maps the inter-regional differences in the slums over a period of 5 years in India by using the 2012 NSSO Slum Survey. This study uses the Multidimensional Wellbeing/Deprivation Index (MWD) towards the assessment of accessibility and availability of basic amenities like education, health, sanitation, electricity, and water facilities. The findings reflect that there is an apparent mutuality among different dimensions of deprivation. This situational inspection of slums has a direct policy imperative for intervention to address the regional imbalance in urban living.

新千年印度城市贫民窟居民生活状况评估

摘要

本研究使用 2012 年 NSSO 贫民窟调查分析了印度在 5 年内获得基本服务的变化并绘制了贫民窟的区域间差异。本研究使用多维幸福/剥夺指数 (MWD) 来评估教育、健康、卫生、电力和供水设施等基本设施的可及性和可用性。研究结果表明，剥夺的不同维度之间存在明显的相互关系。这种对贫民窟的情况检查对于解决城市生活的区域不平衡问题具有直接的政策必要性。
