Urban hostels and other precarious housing: The case of the parallel precarious sector in the UK's housing crisis

良好的住房是繁荣人类生活的必要条件，但住房选择不可避免地受到社会经济条件的影响和限制。在英国，过去十年中，不稳定和不安全的住房增加到约800万人（通斯托尔2013，Minton 2017）。学术界对这场所谓的“英国住房危机”的反应涉及社会住房供应（Robertson 2016）和负担不起和不合格的私人住房（Danewid 2019）。然而，最近的评论表明，报告现象的研究有新的优先事项，如“酒店化”或“平行”社会住房（Birch 2019; Nowicki和Brickell 2019）和多人居住或“压抑”住房（Bramley 2018，2019）。然而，仍然缺乏定性研究，这些研究主要涉及这些不同住房类型的人的经验（Heslop和Ormerod 2020; cf Ferreri 2016）。这项研究将关闭上述研究差距不稳定的住房和建立在目前的知识，英国的“住房危机”在一个详细的定性案例研究不稳定的住房。在这样做的过程中，我使用民族志，访谈和创新的文献分析，以研究一种潜在的新型的不稳定的住房在伦敦的两个'旅游'旅馆的形状，已经ponesprepared提供亚市场的'租金'的人半永久居住。此外，我探讨床和早餐招聘英国的社会housingsystem和一个大型的国家补贴/私人房东运行的住房设施。

Good housing is essential for flourishing human lives but housing options areinevitably enabled and constrained by socio-economic conditions. In the UK thelast decade has witnessed a growth in precarious and insecure housing toaround 8 million people (Tunstall 2013, Minton 2017). The academic responseto this so called 'UK housing crisis' has ranged across issues of social housingprovision (Robertson 2016) and unaffordable and substandard private housing(Danewid 2019). Recent commentary, however, indicates new priorities forresearch in reporting phenomena such as 'hotelised' or 'parallel' social housing(Birch 2019; Nowicki and Brickell 2019) and multiply occupied or 'suppressed'housing (Bramley 2018, 2019). Nevertheless, there remains a lack of qualitativeresearch that engages substantially with the experiences of those in theseprecarious housing types (Heslop and Ormerod 2020; cf Ferreri 2016). Thisresearch will close the aforementioned research gap on precarious housing andbuild on current knowledge of the UK 'housing crisis' in a detailed qualitativecase study of precarious housing. In doing so I use ethnography, interviews andinnovative documentary analysis to examine a potentially new type ofprecarious housing in the shape of two 'tourist' hostels in London that havespontaneously offered sub-market 'rent' for people to live semi-permanently. Inaddition I explore bed and breakfast recruitment by the UK's social housingsystem and a large state subsidised/private landlord run housing facility.
