Abstract

Current research on the housing careers of urban low-income groups, dominated by quantitative modelling, has discussed the housing predicament faced by the urban poor at length. While much is known about the factors influencing their housing careers, these studies have failed to provide a satisfactory understanding of the intricacy and depth of human struggles those vulnerable groups experienced in the urban housing market. This contributes a four-period model, through a dialogue with the established life cycle/life course theories, to the reconceptualization of housing career of the urban poor and depicts a vivid and continuous housing trajectory by analysing their lived experiences at each period. This paper finds that, in a highly constrained and segregated housing market, the housing problems experienced by low-income earners and their coping strategies are far more complex and variegated than traditional life cycle/course theory would predict. Factors at individual, household, community and even national levels are often interwoven and, more importantly, the combinations of these influences are constantly changing, sometimes repeating along their housing career forming a nuanced dynamism that has been largely overlooked by existing research.

成都城市贫民的住房生活经历:城市住房事业的四个不同时期
目前对城市低收入群体住房生涯的研究以定量建模为主,详细讨论了城市贫民面临的住房困境。尽管人们对影响他们住房生涯的因素有了很多了解,但这些研究未能让人满意地理解这些弱势群体在城市住房市场上所经历的错综复杂和深刻的人性挣扎。本文通过与既有的生命周期/生命历程理论对话,为重新认识城市贫民的住房生涯提供了一个四阶段模型,并通过分析他们在每个阶段的生活经历,描绘了一个生动而连续的住房轨迹。本文发现,在高度受限和隔离的住房市场中,低收入者遇到的住房问题及其应对策略远比传统的生命周期/生命历程理论所预测的要复杂和多样。个人、家庭、社区甚至国家层面的因素往往交织在一起,更重要的是,这些影响因素的组合在不断变化,有时会在他们的住房生涯中重复出现,形成一种细微的动态变化,而现有研究在很大程度上忽视了这一点。
