Faced with eviction from land along Rama IX Road, leaders of three informal settlements in Bangkok found land for sale in the urban fringe. The National Housing Authority (NHA) developed the site, demarcated plots, constructed infrastructure, provided loans for the land purchase and transferred the households to this new site. The resettled households were left to cope with the new situation; the NHA only handled the loan administration and the issuing of land titles once the loans had been repaid. The new settlement was studied in 1990 and revisited in 2011-2012 to compare the population and the housing conditions. The study found that few households from Rama IX Road still lived on the new site; many had been replaced by newcomers with higher incomes than the remaining original households. Housing conditions differed significantly among original households and between original households and newcomers. Through interviews with remaining households, the authors reconstructed the history of some households who had left the settlement. The authors concluded that the resettled households might have benefited from a community-based organization and support from a public agency or an NGO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
