第三世界城市中的许多贫困家庭住在自己的“自助”之家，随着时间的推移，这类家庭的相对数量急剧增加。如果说1940年住在自助住房中的家庭相对较少，那么今天在许多城市，大多数家庭都住在这种住房中。然而，也有一些重要的例外。在许多非洲和亚洲城市，房客和合租者占大多数，在拉丁美洲，波哥大、加拉加斯、瓜达拉哈拉、拉巴斯、利马和圣保罗的人口中有三分之一到二分之一居住在出租住房中（联合国，1979年）。经过多年的忽视，住房研究逐渐重新发现以前看不见的房客和合租者（Amis，1984; Coulomb，1985; Edwards，1982;吉尔伯特，1983; Malpezzi和马约，1987）。在自助住房广泛存在的背景下，文献中提出的隐含问题是：他们为什么要租房？这些家庭是否从租房中获得了好处，或者他们实际上没有选择事实上的所有权？他们是否沮丧，雄心勃勃的业主，受到环境的限制，即使在边缘自助解决方案中也无法行使他们对所有权的偏好？本文根据在墨西哥两个大城市瓜达拉哈拉和普埃布拉进行的研究来探讨这些问题。首先，它根据在每个城市的三个住区进行的调查数据，审查了业主和租户之间的家庭和收入差异; 2其次，它考虑了所有权是否是受访家庭的公开偏好;第三，它审查了租户和业主的居住轨迹。
Many poor families in third world cities live in their own ‘self-help’homes and the relative number of such households has risen dramatically through time. If there were relatively few families living in self-help housing in 1940, in many cities the majority lives in such accommodation today. There are, however, important exceptions. In numerous African and Asian cities tenants and sharers constitute a large majority, and in Latin America, between one-third and one-half of the populations of Bogota, Caracas, Guadalajara, La Paz, Lima and S5o Paulo live in rental accommodation (United Nations, 1979). After years of neglect, housing research is gradually rediscovering the previously invisible tenants and sharers (Amis, 1984; Coulomb, 1985; Edwards, 1982; Gilbert, 1983; Malpezzi and Mayo, 1987). In a context of widespread selfhelp housing, the implicit question being posed in the literature is: why do they rent? Do these households derive an advantage from renting or is the option of de facto ownership not actually available to them? Are they frustrated, aspirant owners, constrained by their environment from exercising their preference for ownership even in a peripheral self-help settlement? This paper examines these questions on the basis of research carried out in two large Mexican cities, Guadalajara and Puebla.’First, it examines the family and income differences between owners and tenants on the basis of survey data conducted in three settlements in each city; 2 secondly, it considers whether ownership is the declared preference of the interviewed families; and thirdly, it examines the residential trajectories of tenants and owners.
