Figure 4.17: The space is used by tube well as a source of water supply. Source: Sultana, 2007. Figure 4.18 shows the side of houses where there are no windows. The space among the houses is very narrow as well. Residents use that narrow strip to accomplish their daily chores. They dry their clothes in the narrow road as a result the sunlight is not available inside the block. Figure 4.18: Very narrow internal road and absence of window. Source: Sultana, 2007. 44
It can be seen from the findings of the two informal settlements that the physical densities of informal housing block are very high in terms of percentage of land coverage by buildings. On the other hand all the houses in the informal settlements are one storey making the FAR value very low. The houses are very close to each other due to the high percentage of land coverage. Internal road width is very narrow. There are virtually no spaces among the houses. The private, semi private and communal open space can not be seen in these two informal settlements. But the inhabitants are using internal roads or surrounding roads and footpaths to accomplish their daily chores. There are no windows in the houses so the cross ventilation of the houses is very poor or totally absent in the informal settlements. The internal narrow roads are the only open spaces inside the block but most of the time the inhabitants use those roads to dry their clothes and accomplish their daily chores. The provision of daylight can not be seen inside the block due to the close distance among the houses. Residents are using surrounding footpaths or roads for their social interaction and for other needs, hence the functionality of roads are being hindered by them. 45
