Sabbir Hussain(1) and Manzur Morshed Khan(2) 1Lecturer, Department of Architecture Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET) E-mail: ar.sabbir@duet.ac.bd 2Faculty, Department of Architecture, Military Institute of Science Technology (MIST), Mirpur Cantonment, Dhaka-1216 E-mail: morshed@arch.mist.ac.bd It is widely asserted by the 20th century housing experts that ‘housing is a process, not a product’. As a process, housing has a phenomenal strength to change the behavioral pattern of a community. Here in this paper Monihar Harijan Slum (Harijan: an ethnic group of ‘Dalit’ or outcastes) of Jessore, Bangladesh was taken as a case to draw an experimental housing proposition from the perspective of this widely acclaimed theoretical concept. In Bangladesh, although Islam does not support caste based social discrimination still Muslim dominated mainstream society of the country is negligence to the Harijans claiming their unholy occupation (street sweepers) and uncleanness, results in the exclusion of these people from the society. The Monihar Harijan community of Jessore municipality suffers from exclusion and low-income occupation hereditary since their expulsion from Allahabad City during the British colonial era and these realities compelled them to live in inhumane conditions inside their slum. With this background, this research aimed to identify the appropriate housing proposition that can change the behavioral pattern of the community to eliminate the public claim and thus it can include the Harijans into the mainstream society. Various types of survey methods and research methods were used to determine the issues and prospects. It was found that strategic changes in the built-form pattern, a low-cost vertical extension of the built-forms, affordable sanitation infrastructure development and provision of income generation are the suitable strategies to achieve the desired goal. Finally, a housing proposition has been simulated adopting those strategies. Here, in this simulated proposition housing is seen as a society reformation tool as well as a model for the communities who share the same vulnerabilities. 2020-06-10T04:41:26Z 2020-06-10T04:41:26Z 2018-12 Article 2224-2007 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/503 en application/pdf R&D Wing, MIST |
