PREFERENCES AND PERSPECTIVES OF SUSTAINABILITY IN INFORMAL ROMA SETTLEMENTS
The intent of the article is to highlight the fact that Roma micro-environments contain as part of their context certain social and cultural premises, embodied in spatial forms and informal settlement construction manners that all together correspond with the principles of sustainable architecture. Shedding a positive light on the principles of sustainable building in terms of social cohesion makes way for a positive attitude of the general public towards that crucial process.Given this context, the paper starts with the broader interpretation of territorialization which suggests the existence of a relation between the spatial and the social level of Roma settlements; a relation that makes possible the understanding of what this cultural group produces in space. Methodologically, the article begins with the idea that the informal Roma settlements were built by the Romani, without an explicit professional influence and represent a quality induced by the need to functionally organize a community where everyday activities take place. Hence, the physical entities and the construction techniques in the settlements are the objects of research on knowledge and skills of a community in which the individuals are connected horizontally and hierarchically and can thus achieve positive relations inevitable for such realization. In that manner, it is possible to systematize inside a settlement a base of characters of physical structure as completed individual and group knowledge and potentials for further, acceptable advancements in that area of construction.Further on, the paper compares research results – a systematic overview of characters of physical structures and construction principles – with the principles of sustainable architecture, thus formulating several conceptions of physical structure which can be considered as culturally adjusted environment that at the same time integrates both the realized principles of sustainable architecture and the potential for further acceptable development in the same domain.The ...
