CASE STUDY
Introduction

In order to respond to rapidly changing city growth, UN-Habitat wants to

manage cities by looking at cities as concepts of settlement space from a
subjective viewpoint of production and consumption. UN-Habitat also
emphasizes high-speed urbanization, global environmental crisis
consciousness, the gap between rich and poor, urban and rural disparity,
urban development and regeneration, urban planning and
implementation. It has expanded the problem of urbanization not only to
architecture but also to environmental, social and economic aspects and
emphasizes a regional approach. The 2015 UN SDGs aimed to create a
comprehensive, safe, sustainable urban and human living environment
that resolves disparities and conflicts between tiers, regions and races.

Recently, the international community has continued its efforts to

eradicate poverty in low-developed countries, create a closer interchange
among countries and expand citizens’ participation. This has led to the
emergence of research on appropriate technologies to support the
development of the ability of poor users, and to create new opportunities
based on them, as a solution to international social problems. Appropriate
technology requires architectural technology based on the characteristics
and capabilities of the local area, but the existing architectural aid system
lacks understanding of local materials and technologies.
Theory of appropriate technology

• Use at low cost and

• Utilize materials available locally.

• Create employment by utilizing local technology

and labour.

• The size of the product must be adequate and

the method of use must be simple.

• It must be able to be used without knowledge

of a specific field.

• It must be able to be created for themselves.

• Draw people’s cooperative work and contribute

to the development of the local community.

• Utilize renewable energy resources.

• People using the technology must be able to

understand the technology.

• Be able to change according to the situation.

• Does not include intellectual property rights,

consulting fees, import duties, etc.

• Match the culture and interests of local people.

Site Selection

The target area was Gondrapa Village in Mymensingh City, located in

the northern part of the Dhaka division, where the urban poor are
densely populated in the area subject to the new master plan, and the
population of the town is 2,715 people. Most of the population of the
town maintains its livelihood through daily labour, and this daily labour
become extremely impoverished when the labour is seriously affected
by a period of non-utilization of the annual labour force. As a result, the
area has difficulty withdrawing from long term poverty. Under such
circumstances, local government support is very poor, and the basic
sanitation environment is bad. In that area, some ethnic groups are
mobilized and the village community organization is relatively active.
The unification and integration of the community was identified as one
of main issues.
Project goals and main strategies

• This project was promoted with the following goals. First, this
project aimed to strengthen the capacity of urban poor
communities through securing community space. In the case of
developing countries and under-developed countries, as the
urbanization is rapid and the settlement systems become
unstable.

• Second, it aimed to improve the community’s hygiene level. For

slum areas around large cities, basic water and sanitation
systems are poor and are very susceptible to disease, so it is
urgent to secure basic hygiene levels.

• Third, it aimed to improve gender equality awareness at the

regional level through the expansion of sanitation facilities. In
the case of slum areas, due to poor hygiene levels, women are
exposed to the outside, causing social consciousness to
deteriorate or causing unprotected criminal circumstances.

• Finally, it aimed to create a sustainable urban environment. In

consideration of the ripple effect of the surroundings and the
post-management of buildings, this project sought for a
scheme that could match the level of technology and labour of
the area, and accordingly, introduction of appropriate
technology was considered.
Meanwhile, in connection with
the introduction of the
appropriate technology
scheduled from the beginning,
the university’s sustainable
laboratory participated for the
implementation of the
appropriate technology
method considering the level of
construction labour technology
within the region, durable
construction methods and
techniques utilizing available
and utilizable materials were
discussed and grown. The
program consulted by
architectural company,
university’s sustainable
laboratory, CBO combines the
village community office to
maintain and operate it as the
space for women and children
who are vulnerable people in
the town. A community center
was planned to operate for the
CBO office, educational
institutions including
classrooms and reading rooms
for young children not
supported by formal education.
Design development
and construction
After the basic design
plan was confirmed, a
design workshop was
held in which three
experts from the
project team, CBO,
residents and local
government entities
participated together.
The first workshop was
held for cooperative
and sustainable
construction through
user participation. The
second workshop was
heading to make a
detailed design of the
center by experts. The
third workshop was for
the residents’
maintenance of
community center.
Educational facilities are
planned according to the
necessity of the classroom
and after school learning
space in classrooms and
libraries, but make
maximum use of the limited
area by creating a
mezzanine space utilizing
bamboo. The University’s
sustainable laboratory and
international NGO can
provide local residents with
profit by their participating
in the production and use of
compressed interlocking
earth blocks (CIEB) as an
environmentally friendly
material to minimize energy
use in natural drying, and an
adopted construction
method using wood and
bamboo produced locally
The second workshop
was to combine of the
CIEB block and tree
fittings, to join
waterproofing and utilize
the bamboo for
courtyard roof,
classroom mezzanine,
library bookcase. Local
materials were for
excellent utilization and
on-site construction for
natural light. In the third
and last workshop, the
management staffs and
organization that
ensures the community
center is not dedicated
privately as a common
space, in order to ensure
sustainable operation of
the community center
