Rossi, Mônica Therezinha Bartie (2012) Social housing and associative management, evaluation of the programs promoted by the state government of São Paulo in the period of 1990 to 2008. PhD thesis, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil.
Abstract
This thesis investigates and discusses the management of housing policy from the perspective of the articulation of public and private associations in the promotion of social housing programs. As an object of investigation, it selects the experience of associative programs developed by the State Government of São Paulo, through the São Paulo State Housing Secretariat and the Company of Housing and Urban Development (CDHU), between 1990 and 2008. Based on a built-stock inventory prepared by the author, it evaluates the transformation of management principles and guidelines, as well as the urban projects and their deployment on the space quality and its social impact on low-income households, face-to-face with a theoretical reference in terms of the State's role in housing and urban policy. As an object of analysis, it highlights that associative programs differ one another, related to their forms of management, showing changes in space appropriation and urban quality, according to the modalities of self-management, self-help construction, shared management or construction bidding process. It points out that building experience under associative processes generally have a lower incidence of problems such as condominium management, informal commercialization and delinquency, compared with the projects carried out by contract. Following the same reasoning, it points out that associative programs which adopt better designs and rely on technical advice, show the best qualitative results related to dwelling appropriation and, therefore, fall within the objectives of effective social housing policy. In summary, consistent with the methodology adopted, it concludes that there is a latent potential in the principles of associative programs, concerning the importance of adopting architectural and urban quality which counts with specialized technical assistance and, above all, regarding the creation and synergy of social networks, which can promote a concept of "progressive sustainability" in the living conditions of households and of the built environment. As a vision of the future, it discusses the complementary role that associations play in all programs of public housing policies, and proposes a vision for the participation of organizations and stakeholders, concentrating their efforts on social control and quality of the construction process.

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
