Different modes of intervention in Informal Settlements
There are several parameters involved in any intervention procedures. Those procedures include; servicing, partial adjustment, on-site redevelopment, evection and relocation, committing to the Millennium Development Goals, social participation and the role of NGOs. Each intervention is applied according to many different factors and not all upgrading interventions are sustainable. A lot of research work was done in this area to come up with the most suitable sustainable intervention for a certain case. In this part, the research reviews in brief the different modes of intervention in Informal Settlements to clarify the methods applied on the study area “Houd 10” and to point out needed work for transforming this Informal Settlement into a sustainable community.
Servicing Informal Settlement
This intervention mode provides physical infrastructure and basic public services. Physical interventions provide the minimum needs of humane living conditions that are of higher priority than other types of development. Such initiatives may coming from; ministries, donor agencies, the private sector or large NGOs. The physical upgrading is always needed to be satisfied first. Socio-economic development activities can then proceed afterwards through local and national programs.
Partial adjustment in Informal Settlement
This intervention focuses on providing services in one particular sector. Most of the physical upgrading and public services provision in informal areas in Egypt follow sectorial upgrading interventions. National or international development agencies usually provide or improve services in Informal Settlements following the same approach of servicing, but may focus on selected areas. Priority interventions are usually infrastructure and roads, but also include educational, health and other community facilities. Sectorial upgrading is not limited to service improvement or physical upgrading alone. Donor agencies and NGOs target informal areas with socioeconomic programs such as micro-credit schemes, health awareness programs, etc.
