Abstract

Housing poverty is one of the most prominent visions of developing countries characterized by informal settlements. Such settlements are, in fact, a form of indecisiveness for the unplanned accumulation of low-income groups at the most vulnerable parts of the city, which is created entirely in an unorganized manner. Regarding the importance of housing, especially in informal settlements, the purpose of the present study is to achieve policies aimed at providing housing components at a minimum level. The applied method in this research is descriptive-analytic. Data collection was done through a documentary-field survey method. Structural equation analysis has been used for data analysis. The statistical population of the research includes managers and experts of metropolises of Ahwaz and Tabriz. The sample size was obtained by simple random sampling comprises 110 people for each of the metropolitan cities. The research findings indicate that the most important approaches to providing minimum housing in Tabriz metropolitan area are improving the quality of housing and empowerment, with the coefficients of 0.93 and 0.79 respectively. Also, in these approaches, the most influences were local community empowerment, rehabilitation and reconstruction policies with a coefficient of 0.93, 0.91 and 0.88 respectively. In the city of Ahwaz, the most important approaches to minimum housing provision are empowerment and social and supportive housing with coefficients of 0.88 and 0.81 respectively. Also, the most influential approaches are the establishment of various housing funds, the participation of the nongovernmental sector in housing construction and the empowerment of the local community with coefficients of 0.92, 0.89 and 0.83, respectively.
