ABSTRACT

The nature of tenure ‘contracts’ that exist within the low-income settlements involves more than title deeds. Accordingly, ‘tenure security’ manifests itself beyond legal or de jure construction as it also involves de facto forms of tenure and dweller’s perception of security. The perceived tenure security is in turn a function of people’s lived experiences which shape the trust they may grant to the future effectiveness of land tenure arrangements. Contextual and historical factors, ranging from political patronage to market pressure to policy provisions, govern the perception of tenure security which usually gets overlooked in policy formulations. With a focus on Mumbai and Jaipur in India, this paper aims to generate and examine the viability of a list of indicators that influence perceptions of land and housing tenure security. The intention is to engender a method towards housing solutions beyond the unidirectional aim of titling and in favour of incremental approaches.

摘要

存在于低收入定居点的使用权“合同”的性质不仅仅涉及地契。因此，“使用权保障”的表现超出了法律或法律上的解释，因为它还涉及事实上权属的形式和居民的安全感。感知到的权属保障反过来又取决于人们的生活经历，这些经历塑造了他们对土地权属安排未来有效性的信任。背景和历史因素，从政治赞助到市场压力再到政策规定，支配着对权属保障的看法，而这在政策制定中通常被忽视。本文以印度的孟买和斋浦尔为重点，旨在生成并检验影响土地和住房使用权保障看法的指标清单的可行性。其目的是产生一种解决住房解决方案的方法，超越标题的单向目标，并有利于增量方法。
