Thesis (MArch) -- University of Melbourne, Faculty of Architecture and Building, 1973.
Abstract
The problems of establishing suitable resettlement schemes in Papua New Guinea for indigenous people who have migrated from rural to urban areas are examined and possible means of solution are put forward.
The phenomenon of migration from rural areas to urban centres is discussed. Comments are made on the programmes undertaken by the Papua New Guinea Housing Commission. Studies conducted in two migrant settle ments in the vicinity of Port Moresby are described. Social aspects of the migrant families and their economic conditions are reported. An appraisal is made of their housing in terms of its design, size and the materials used. The use to which dwelling space is put is analysed and tabulated. The views of residents of migrant settlements were sought regarding the type of house they would prefer if they were provided with a nominated limited amount of money. These are tabulated and reported. Recommendations are made which are intended to assist in the formulation of future housing policy in Papua New Guinea.
