concentrate on only one side of the block. The area of this settlement is 3.97 hectares where the house hold numbers are 7500 (CUS, 1996). FAR = 0.81– 0.85 Percentage of land coverage by buildings = 90% - 93% Number of storey = 1 Figure 4.2 illustrates the close distance among the houses. The houses are very dense in terms of high percentage of land coverage. But in terms of FAR the density is very low because most of the houses are one storey. Figure 4.2: Houses are very close to each other; Source: Sultana, 2007. The internal roads inside the block are very narrow. Most of the land is covered by buildings. Even though the roads are very narrow they are greatly used by the inhabitants to do their daily activities. Figure 4.3 shows the narrow road width inside the block.

Spatial qualities Spatial qualities refer to the space usability, cross ventilation and provision of daylight inside the block (Chapter 2). This section shows the efficiency of spaces, cross ventilation of houses and provision of daylight inside the block. The photographs of the informal settlements have been used to illustrate the spatial qualities of informal housing block. Those photographs show the usability of space inside or surrounding the block, availability of cross ventilation in the houses and the provision of daylight inside the block. Figure 4.4 is showing that the inhabitants are using internal roads to dry their clothes because there is no private or semi private space inside the block. The internal roads are the only open space inside the block. But those roads are being used by the inhabitants to accomplish their daily activities as a result the provision of sunlight inside the block is being hindered.

So the inhabitants use the internal Figure 4.5: A woman is cooking in the outdoor by using soil burner. Source: Sultana, 2007. 37
