Las necesidades habitacionales de los hogares bogotanos: una mirada que trasciende el déficit convencional de vivienda

Abstract

This article develops, as a perspective that transcends the conventional measure of housing deficit, the dimensioning of the housing needs of Bogota’s households, from the evaluation of the essential components that define the concept of adequate housing: legal security of tenure; availability of services; materials, facilities and infrastructure; affordability; habitability; accessibility; location; and cultural adequacy. To achieve this, it is analyzed the behavior of different variables of the Encuesta de Calidad de Vida 2007 for the city of Bogota, which are associated with some of the components described above by identifying the proportion of households affected by housing needs under this perspective. As a result of this exercise, it is found that up to 23.3 % of Bogota’s households are in a housing deficit condition that the conventional measure does not consider.
