| Abstract | The squatters have become the expanding features of cities in developing countries.
They have penetrated in large numbers to the hearts ©f the
cities occupying every vacant spot they can find; deep in residential areas, along the roads and canals or, interspersed in-between developed sections. While, these small patches of \' slum-like\' shanty structures have always been considered undesirable, no attempt has ever been made to study their structure and function, and their magnitude, especially when they are scattered in small groups or in the form of isolated structures all over the city. The objective of this research is, therefore, to study the structure and function of these small group of \'slum-like\' shanty structures, or mini squatters, in Bangkok and, to know the magnitude of the problem. The major contribution of this study are in its providing:
An identification of mini squatter problem in developing countries.
A rationale for the distinction between mini squatters and slums. An insight into the extent of mini squatter problem in Bangkok and its major characteristics. |
