 INTRODUCTION

HOUSEHOLD:
The people who live in a house, considered as a unit; social group; a family (as including kin,
ancestors) or household.
A house is defined as a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an
individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property. Most modern-day
households contain sanitary facilities and a means of preparing food.
“All places in which a group of people reside and pursue their life goals, the size of settlement
may vary from a single family to millions of people.”

WHO experts use the term residential environment preferably instead of housing. It can be
defined as:
“The physical structure that man uses and the environs of the structure including all
necessary services, facilities, equipment and devices needed or desired for the physical and
mental health and the social well-being of the family and the individual.”
HOUSING OBJECTIVES:
Stable, affordable and accessible housing linked to health, and critical to helping people live
independently and improve life opportunities related to family, work, education, recreation or
other pursuits. Objectives for housing need to be seen in this context.

GOALS:
The generally accepted goals of housing are;
Shelter: A respectable for sun and for sanitary sanitation.
Family Life: The house should provide adequate space for family life and related activities.
Economic Stability: It is a form of investment of personal saving and also provides for
socioeconomic stability and wellbeing of the family.
Access to Community Facilities: These include health services, school shopping areas and
places of worship.

Family Participation In Community Life: Family is a part of wider community. It is important
to family in times of need.
FUNCTIONS OF HOUSING:
These are as follows:
-It provides physical protection and shelter.
-It provides adequately for cooling, eating, washing and excretory functions.
-It provides care of sick, old and pregnant women.
-It helps in protection from hazards of exposure to noise and pollution.
-It is free from unsafe physical arrangement and toxic or harmful materials.
-It encourages personal and community development.
-It helps in regulation of religious and other social activities.

RURAL HOUSING STANDARDS:

As our place of visit was a rural area so the housing standard we observed there is an important
part of our discussion. These standards may be lower than in towns. The minimum standards
suggested are:
1. There should be at least 2 living rooms.
2. Ample verandah space.
3.Built up area not exceeding 1/3 of total area.
4A separate kitchen with a paved sink or platform for washing utensils.
5.A sanitary latrine.
6.Window area should be 10% of the floor area.
7.A sanitary well or tube well should be within a quarter of a mile from the house.
8.Cattle to be placed away from house in a separate room.
9.Adequate arrangement for the disposal of waste water, refuse and garbage.
