Abstract

Globally the demand for housing is far more than supply, resulting to 100 million+ been homeless and with one billion people living in inadequate homes. In addition, recent world crisis such as high rural urban migration, natural disasters like the Syria-Turkey earth quake, flooding, conflicts such as the ongoing Russia-Urkraine war, COVID-19 protocols of social distance and isolation, etc. exacerbates the housing deficit. Whilst the current approach to housing especially in developing countries concentrates on convention unsustainable approach to affordable housing delivery. With the few sustainable housing development attempts been far luxurious beyond average Ghanaian affordability. This research seeks to contribute to address housing deficit problems using frugal Innovation (FI) as a game changer to sustainable affordable housing (SAH) through a bibliometrics and a systematic review study. With regards to financial, resource-constrained, significant cost reductions over existing options and sustainable solutions, one idea currently gaining traction is frugal innovation (FI). It is more affordable than the conventional approach to development and can convert constraint into opportunity in a sustainable manner, as well as have a direct link to sustainable affordable development. Search for this study was on all disciplines with publications linked to frugal innovation and sustainable affordable housing limited to only online articles, conference publications, books, and other materials published in English on Scopus, science direct, and Google Scholar. The finding revealed, FI is a combination of all similar innovations, under one umbrella to serve the underserved bottom-of-the-pyramid (BOP) market, making it superior to other forms of innovation. This study will contribute significantly to improving the policy direction of stakeholders in an attempt to reduce the housing deficit in Ghana and other developing countries globally. In addition, it will contribute to the UN-SDGs and UN-Habitat policymakers on the sustainable cities 2030 agenda © This open access article is published under a Creative Commons [Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International] license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/

节俭创新改变可持续经济适用房的游戏规则

在全球范围内，住房需求远远超过供应，导致1亿多人无家可归，10亿人居住在不足的住房中。此外，近期的世界危机(如农村人口大量向城市迁移)、叙利亚-土耳其地震等自然灾害、洪水、俄乌战争等冲突、COVID-19社会距离和隔离协议等加剧了住房短缺。目前的住房问题，特别是发展中国家的住房问题，主要集中在不可持续的负担得起的住房交付问题上。随着少数可持续住房开发的尝试远远超出了加纳人的平均承受能力。本研究旨在通过文献计量学和系统回顾研究，利用节俭创新(FI)作为可持续经济适用住房(SAH)的游戏规则改变者，为解决住房赤字问题做出贡献。相对于现有的选择和可持续的解决方案，在财务、资源受限、显著降低成本方面，目前获得关注的一个想法是节俭创新(FI)。它比传统的发展方法更能负担得起，能够以可持续的方式将限制转化为机会，并与可持续的负担得起的发展有直接联系。对这项研究的搜索涉及所有学科，与节约型创新和可持续经济适用房相关的出版物仅限于在线文章、会议出版物、书籍和其他在Scopus、science direct和谷歌Scholar上以英文发表的材料。研究结果显示，FI是所有类似创新的结合，在一个保护伞下服务于服务不足的金字塔底部(BOP)市场，使其优于其他形式的创新。这项研究将大大有助于改善利益相关者的政策方向，以减少加纳和全球其他发展中国家的住房赤字。此外，它还将为联合国可持续发展目标和联合国人居署政策制定者的可持续城市2030议程做出贡献©本文采用知识共享[署名-非商业- noderivatives 4.0 International]许可发布。https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/

期刊介绍： For investigation regarding the impact of planning policy on spatial planning implementation, International review for Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development (IRSPSD International) seeks to learn from researchers in an integrated multidisciplinary platform that reflects a variety of perspectives—such as economic development, social equality, and ecological protection—with a view to achieving a sustainable urban form. This international journal attempts to provide insights into the achievement of a sustainable urban form, through spatial planning and implementation; here, we focus on planning experiences at the levels of local cities and some metropolitan areas in the world, particularly in Asian countries. Submission are expected from multidisciplinary viewpoints encompassing land-use patterns, housing development, transportation, green design, and agricultural and ecological systems.
