ABSTRACT

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss housing inclusion and exclusion and whether the informants were included or excluded in their respective housing systems. I compare the respondents from BRP and Korail since the two neighborhoods are different based on their legal housing status. The BRP offers state-sponsored formal living arrangements, whereas Korail has informal and voluntarily developed housing in which residents do not own legal housing. Korail is much larger than BRP in terms of population; it also covers a greater area. It highlights the dimensions of the housing conditions including housing plan, design, and infrastructure of the two different neighborhoods. I have argued whether only housing inclusion can offer the poor to improve their livelihoods and quality of life in the city.
