| summary |
Assisted self-construction has been proclaimed by the UN Habitat as one of the most affordable methods of providing sustainable housing. Self-construction in informal settlements is analogous with incremental development, where design and construction occur in simultaneous waves. However, unassisted self-construction often produces housing of substandard quality owing to a lack of knowledge and resources. This paper hypothesizes that the core factor leading to substandard housing in informal self-construction is an information and communication gap in the existing process. In order to identify the gap, a mapping and analysis exercise is carried out that identifies the focal points where the informal system deviates from the formal, the decisions that influence these deviations, and the impact of these deviations on the overall output. The paper develops the framework for a smartphone-based, digital technical aid system, that fills this information and communication gap and provides construction guidance to owner-builders without compromising the nonlinear nature of incremental development. |
