Abstract
Housing policies have the capacity to transform exclusive urban structures and, consequently, to modify the living conditions of the population (Oszlak, 1991; Rodríguez and Di Virgilio, 2011). This thesis analyzes the role that the different social housing policies for the population with informal territorial inscriptions played on their life trajectories.
The State developed over time diverse (although scarce), housing policies oriented to this type of population. Thus, under different paradigms, different types of social housing were produced responding to objectives, definitions of the problem and its recipients. We assume that the definition of these components of the policy influenced the ability of these interventions to positively modify the living conditions of their recipients and their opportunities to access the city.
This research investigates from three case studies that characterize these different types of interventions, how these policies are inscribed in the “trajectories” of their recipients, transforming (or not) their structures of opportunities and their conditions of vulnerability and exclusion.
From a comparative perspective, the policies that gave rise to the Comandante Luis Piedrabuena Urban Complex, the Barrio Padre Mugica Urban Complex and the social housing of the Ex-AU3 Trace are analyzed, as well as the life trajectories of those who arrived at each of these neighborhoods. These three cases are registered in different socio-historical contexts and therefore their policies raise various definitions of the problem they sought to intervene, as well as their recipients. Also, in relation to the objectives of each policy and the paradigms in which they were registered, the three developed different constructive typologies. Finally, these cases are located in two contrasting areas of the City of Buenos Aires.
The selection of these case studies responds to the intention of identifying the role of the political-contextual definition of the problem and of the recipients of the social housing policy, as well as the location of the housing solutions, on the capacity of these initiatives to influence the living conditions of its recipients, disrupting the course of their life trajectories.
This research was carried out under a methodological design of triangulation based on primary data (retrospective biographical surveys and in-depth interviews conducted with the inhabitants of the three neighborhoods of social housing). The analysis focused on the life courses of the target households and their possible transformations after access to social housing. Through a multichannel sequence analysis, the evolution of residential and socio-occupational trajectories as well as their relation, were reconstructed before and after entering each of the three neighborhoods. Based on the analysis of these biographies, we sought to identify whether access to social housing constituted a turning point on these trajectories towards situations of greater inclusion and access to the city.
Although there is a large field of research that problematizes the urban effects of social housing (Ballent, 2005; del Río, 2012, Rodríguez, 2012., Ostuni, 2012), highlights the emergence of problems regarding new ways of living (Giglia , 2012; Bettanin, 2008; Girola, 2008; Zapata, 2013; Thomasz and Girola, 2014) and investigates the role of the State and housing policies (Yujnovsky, 1984; Fernández Wagner, 2004), the effects of the different social housing policies on the living conditions of their recipients from a multidimensional perspective remain to be explored.
This research seeks to produce knowledge about this area of vacancy that is essential to understand the differential capacities of social housing policies to influence the biographies of its inhabitants and their living conditions.
