Abstract

Marginal settlement is one of the broad grounds for social damages, with whose expansion we are witnessing increasing insecurity and various forms of crime and violence in society. The creation of unofficial settlements is the logical consequence of the unequal distribution of occupational opportunities and wealth, and the policies of the last fifty years, which have been based mainly on the views of the growth pole and concentration, are the main reason for this phenomenon. These settlements reproduce social damages within themselves. The type of social damages produced in these areas is directly related to the quality of the housing. Dwellings in these settlements are largely built with deforcement or unauthorized construction, and lack safety. The fabric of most of these places is fine-grained and lacks in desirable access to urban facilities. These cases are favorable for social deviations and problems.
