Our aim of survey on slums is to clarify the space organization of the slum on which the private sectors such as inhabitants and NGOs themselves made built environment.
Focusing on the Borei Keila we might be able to clarify these aspects like below.
---market being organized by themselves it the slum area, the inhabitants can get everyday surroundings and meals.
---hierarchy of the roads and alleys are consisted of three grades; main road, sub-main road and alley. Around the main road market are emerged.
---on the alleys in city center many human activities and everyday life belongings can be seen, but on the alleys in slum area few can be. We think the reason is by the bad condition of the alleys. Despite the few activities and everyday life belongings on the alleys, we can see many aspects of everyday lives from the activities in the house interior space.
---size of the houses is small, but the interior space is always connected to open public space. The inhabitants can always use interior spaces and exterior spaces.
---the space between alley and the house interior space is frequently used as a shopping, communication, sleeping space.
---although the houses are small they make several floor levels for their life activities. Most of the houses are built on the ground, but sleeping space and working space are on the raised floor.
---sub-main streets made around the housing area provide some kinds of activity spaces such as children’s playground.
