Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies, 1997, vol. 9, issue 1, 37-54

Abstract: Some developing countries are tapping into the opportunities offered by self†help gradual improvement of houses in order to relieve the environmental problems besetting their urban areas. For decisionmakers and planners it is important to know the factors that can entice slum dwellers to improve their houses. Using Indonesian data, this paper has tested and verified the assumption that tenure security is a powerful factor that can entice slum dwellers to internalize the benefits from neighborhood environmental quality improvement.
