Abstract

The present study was carried out to assess the quality of housing of native ethnic tribes of cold desert, Leh-Ladakh. These ethnic tribes being the inhabitants of remote areas of cold desert are lacking behind in almost all the basic facilities. The study reveals that 40% of households were having Kacha houses. Most of the houses (55.77%) had two rooms for human use. Nearly, 23.10% households were having the size of the rooms as less than 100 ft2. The average number of persons sharing each room was less than the recommended standard. About 85.44% households have improper ventilation and 38.59% households have traditional/pit latrines and even 63.35% of households were having pit latrines inside the house. About 49.27% of households have a cowshed located inside the courtyard. Majority of households (96.36) were not satisfied with their housing conditions. Very high quality of housing has been reported in the urban area. Both high and medium quality of housing has been noted in five blocks each, and low/very low quality of housing has been reported also in five blocks. The improvement in housing will lead to better health conditions and overall quality of life.
寒冷沙漠列拉达克地区土著部落的住房质量
本研究旨在评估寒冷沙漠列拉达克地区土著民族部落的住房质量。这些少数民族部落居住在寒冷的沙漠偏远地区,几乎缺乏所有的基本设施。研究显示,40%的家庭拥有Kacha房屋。大多数房屋(55.77%)有两个供人使用的房间。近23.10%的家庭房间面积小于100平方英尺。每个房间的平均人数低于建议的标准。约85.44%的家庭通风不良,38.59%的家庭有传统/坑式厕所,甚至63.35%的家庭有坑式厕所。约49.27%的家庭在庭院内有牛棚。大多数家庭(96.36)对住房条件不满意。据报道,市区的住房质量非常高。有5个街区的住房质量分别为高质量和中等质量,还有5个街区的住房质量为低/非常低。住房的改善将带来更好的健康条件和整体生活质量。
