| Abstract | This study attempts to formulate criteria to evaluate housing policies for the lowest income rural-urban migrants, with special attention to the politico-socio-economic relationship between the target population and the public authorities. The study starts by analyzing the status quo of the target population, focusing on housing problems in Taipei in the late 1960\'s. Based upon findings from this analysis, two salient politico-economic variables are proposed to explain housing condition for the target population. One is income (wages), and the other is a "multiplier", which is the support from -the authorities to improve the housing condition of the target population, the relationship between the social groups. Based upon A housing conflict model is developed, which guides- action to improve the housing condition of the target population. Examining the model with reference to the status quo, it is found that the housing condition is basically determined by four possible stages of relationship between individuals and the authorities. The study also discusses the explanation that can be derived from the model of the mobility of migrants in Taipei in late 1960\'s, and examing the impact of GNP growth on the housing issue. Finally this model generates criteria to evaluate housing policies, and from this "upward mobility" policies are suggested. |
