The Analysis of Dimension of Instability in the Informal Settlements (Case Study: Hesar Neighborhood of City of Karaj, Iran)

Abstract

Squatters (or informal) settlements have existed in Iran since 1961. There were turning points for the massive migration from the village and small cities to political and capital centers (city of Tehran as the capital city and other big cities like the city of Karaj as the case study). The most important object of this paper is recognition and analysis of dimensions of instability in the informal settlements (Hesar Neighborhood). The methodology of the research involves a pilot study and a qualitative study where exploratory and case study analysis methods were used. A questionnaire was prepared and interviews were conducted in the Hesar informal settlement of city of Karaj. The result shows this settlement has an unstable situation. In general, an environmental issue is the most important challenge of sustainable development and stability in Hesar informal settlement. Other dimension of sustainability (social and economic sustainability) has an unstable situation too.
