租赁住房有两个方面:它是由房东“生产”和租户“消费”的。直到最近,对第三世界城市租赁住房的研究主要集中在后者。虽然内城地区的租户得到了一些关注(参见Beijaard, 1986; Hardoy, 1983; Kalim, 1988),但考虑到低收入住房次级市场对当前租赁住房需求的反应,大部分研究都正确地集中在低收入定居点的租户上(例如,参见Edwards, 1983; 1982; Gilbert, 1987; 1983; Gilbert和Varley, 1990; Gilbert和Ward, 1982)。通过证明家庭租房主要是由于获得所有权的限制,本研究做出了两个重要贡献。首先,它提供了对支持租赁住房需求的因素的理解。第二,它帮助将租赁住房问题列入诸如人类住区中心(生境)和世界银行等国际机构的议程。然而,租赁住房的生产尚未受到类似的关注。最近关于这一主题的著述侧重于个体房东的经营规模,并探讨了房东与房客之间的关系(例如,见Aina, 1990; Amis, 1984; Gilbert和Varley, 1991; 1989; Lee-Smith, 1990; Pennant, 1990; Potts与Mutambira, 1981)。人们很少探讨导致地主制度发展的条件。事实上,大多数关于租户和房东的研究都将租赁住房的生产视为一种需求-供应反应或低收入住房巩固过程的重要组成部分。如果这些假设是正确的,为什么大多数(如果不是全部)家庭都在
There are two facets to rental housing: it is ‘produced’by landlords’ and ‘consumed’by tenants. Until recently, research on rental housing in third world cities has focused primarily on the latter. While tenants in inner city areas have received some attention (cf. Beijaard, 1986; Hardoy, 1983; Kalim, 1988) much of the research has rightly focused on tenants in low-income settlements, given the responsiveness of this housing sub-market to the current demand for rental housing (see, for instance, Edwards, 1983; 1982; Gilbert, 1987; 1983; Gilbert and Varley, 1990; Gilbert and Ward, 1982). By demonstrating that households rent accommodation primarily as a result of the constraints on the access to ownership, this research has made two important contributions. Firstly, it provides an understanding of the factors which underpin the demand for rental accommodation. Secondly, it has helped place the issue of rental housing on the agenda of international agencies such as UNCHS (Habitat) and the World Bank. However, the production of rental housing is yet to receive similar attention. 2 Recent writing on the subject focuses on the scale of operation of individual landlords and explores landlord-tenant relationships (see, for instance, Aina, 1990; Amis, 1984; Gilbert and Varley, 1991; 1989; Lee-Smith, 1990; Pennant, 1990; Potts with Mutambira, 1981). The conditions responsible for the development of landlordism are rarely explored. In fact, most of the studies on tenants and landlords view the production of rental housing as either a demand-supply response or an essential part of the low-income housing consolidation process. If these assumptions are true, why are most if not all households in
