Mohlasedi, K M and Nkado, R N (1997) The role of stakeholders in the delivery of affordable housing schemes in South Africa. In: Stephenson, P (ed.) Proceedings of 13th Annual ARCOM Conference, 15-17 September 1997, Cambridge, UK.
Abstract
This paper identifies relevant stakeholders in the delivery of housing schemes in South Africa. It investigates the envisaged and practical roles of stakeholders, and whether stakeholder activities are helpful or detrimental to housing delivery. Stakeholders are of two categories: end users, and providers of affordable housing. A study of the local housing environment is made from a historical perspective and the recent policy formulation, the anticipated participation structure and the delivery process, supported by three case studies. A comparative review of local and international literature is made, including the analysis of the experience of other developing countries. Interim findings to date are: labour force on housing schemes is drawn from the local environment; the delivery process is comparatively more formal and with a minimum of self-help; end user participation features in planning, finance, construction labour and, policy formulation and management, the latter two at a minimal level.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
