Aspirations, experience and needs in informal housing: survey observations in a spontaneous settlement near Durban.

Abstract

The main focus of the report is on the physical mobility patterns traced by the informal settlers residing in Malukazi, an informal black settlement situated to the south of Durban and adjoining the formal black township of Umlazi. This study of residential mobility is based on the responses supplied by 278 heads of households interviewed in late 1977.The report stresses the urgent need to attend to the problems of the Malukazi residents and to those of other settlers living in Durban's peri-urban fringe.
