3 S HOUSING (SITE, SERVICES, STRUCTURE). RURAL HOUSING.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING SOLUTIONS

THERE ARE INCREASING NEEDS FOR HOUSING. THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUILD
CONVENTIONAL HOUSES FOR EVERYBODY. NEW SOLUTIONS FOR AVOIDING CUTTING TREES FOR HOUSE
CONSTRUCTION AND BURNING BRICKS ARE NEEDED TO REDUCE DEFORESTATION. A TRADITIONAL AFRICAN
HOUSE (EXCEPT THE WOODEN STRUCTURE) IS THE BEST IN AFRICAN CLIMATE.

IT IS NECESSARY TO DEVELOP AND UTILIZE NEW STRATEGIES FOR URBANIZATIONS INCLUSIVE

ESTABLISHMENT OF WORKING POSSIBILITITIES ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO
STAY AND LIVE THERE. THIS IMPACT WILL REDUCE THE PRESSURE ON BIG CITIES.
THE STRUCTURE USED FOR RURAL AREAS CAN BE MODIFIED ALSO FOR TOWN URBANIZATIONS.

SHOWS DWELLING UNITS
CONSISTING OF LOTS FOR GROUPS
OF DWELLINGS, POSSIBLE STREET
SYSTEM, PUBLIC AREAS AND AREA
FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES/SERVICES.

A STREET SYSTEM ALLOWS

 3 S HOUSING (SITE, SERVICE, STRUCTURE). HOW IT CAN BE LIKE.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SOLUTIONS.
THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT TOUCH ANY SITE AND SERVICE APPROACH. WE ENDORSE THAT THE STRUCTURE
IS AN AFRICAN HOUSE` MAIN PROBLEM EITHER IN TERMS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OR ECONOMY.
THEREFORE A REASONABLE STRUCTURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A PART OF THE SITE AND SERVICE
CONCEPT AND PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE REASONABLE LOANS TO BE ABLE TO GET
APPROPRIATE HOMES. 3 S HOUSING IS A REASONABLE SOLUTION. A BASIC COST OF THE HOUSE SHOULD NOT
EXCEED 150 USD PER M2 (ROOF OF METAL SHEETS), IF PEOPLE`S OWN WORK IS TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION.
