Abstract: Abstract Housing transformations have been studied over time. Numerous Post-Occupancy-Evaluation (POE) studies reveal user-initiated alterations occurring in Brazilian Social Housing (SH). These transformations have specific objectives, such as additional space, refurbishment, and improvement, or upgrading. However, results of transformations are not always positive, and may affect dwellers’ well-being through losses in environmental comfort. A critical investigation using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method analysed forty-seven studies to understand what needs and requirements stimulate SH projects' upgrading and how transformations impact well-being. In addition, an in-depth analysis was made to assess aspects of environmental comfort, safety, design, layout and economic aspects that affect people’s well-being, and improve their quality of life. Results contribute to supporting upgrading processes of existing SH and to guide the improved design of new SH projects based on the desires and well-being requirements of low-income families.

Abstract: – Challenges in social housing projects (SHP) in Brazil are mainly related to design and construction quality and cost constraints. Value delivery to end-users must be a goal, however, jointly considered with the restrictions of such developments. In the SHP context, tight cost constraints frequently have a negative impact on delivering value to end-users. The purpose of this paper is to put forward the proposition that value enhancement can be achieved by reallocating costs to better meet the attributes most valued by end-users, without increasing initial project costs. – A set of tools used in value methodology (VM) is adopted to assist a systematic process with the goal of attaining an optimal functional balance between costs and value delivery to end-users. Desired values were indicated by users in a previous study, resulting in an Index of General Significance. A single case study was carried out to test the approach in a SHP. Opportunities for improvement guided by the desired values of end-users were evaluated. – The VM approach suggests that initial project cost constraints do not necessarily induce value loss for end-users, a recurrent problem that designers and stakeholders frequently face in such contexts. Improvements were made possible through simple cost reallocation. – A single case study was carried out to validate this approach. To create a generalized approach for other similar context further tests should be undertaken. – The proposed VM approach was shown to be efficient in assessing decisions which designers and stakeholders must take, bearing in mind cost constraints and improvements in value delivery to end-users. – Currently in Brazil, end-users’ perceptions are rarely considered into the design process of SHP. The research shows that the proposed approach could be used in similar contexts of social housing to enrich the design process and attain higher satisfaction levels. – An important lesson learned was that subjective parameters based on the desired values of end-users could be combined with technical and functional analysis, thus an objective improvement process was devised. The approach can have clear implications for the product development of SHPs to best match the end-user's value propositions, without neglecting financial and economic needs in such a context.

Abstract: Resumo Habitações Sociais (HS), em geral, não atendem às necessidades dos usuários e aos requisitos de conforto, gerando insatisfação e necessidade de reformas e melhorias. Intervenções nesse tipo de empreendimento requerem colaboração entre ersas partes interessadas, os quais possuem diferentes perspectivas e objetivos. Esse tipo de iniciativa deve buscar uma visão compartilhada entre as partes no desenvolvimento de soluções e na tomada de decisão. Nesta pesquisa, a abordagem dos Living Labs (LLs) foi adotada como estratégia para desenvolver melhorias em habitações existentes de forma integrada e colaborativa. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo que objetivou identificar oportunidadesde melhorias em habitações sociais com o envolvimento direto dos usuários, pesquisadores e agentes públicos, durante a pandemia da Covid-19.Os resultados demonstram que a entrevista reflexiva, com o apoio de atividades complementares, foi uma ferramenta adequada não só para a identificação de oportunidades de melhoras, como para a criação de vínculo e confiança entre os participantes na primeira fase de implementação do LL.

Abstract: Housing is fundamental to the welfare of people and society. On the contrary, housing may impose costs on users as regards their health and quality of life. These costs are not only in idual but also social. Studies on the concept of social costs (SCs) related to living conditions of social housing (SH) are scarce, and the concept needs in-depth debates. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to answer the primary research question: What are SCs, and what triggers them? The research specifically aims to identify spatial design factors and construction details of SH, which may cause adverse impacts and social costs and affect households' quality of life. The SLR results are analysed and discussed concerning the major concepts of SCs and social impacts (SIs). The visual representation and organization of data contribute to detailed and in-depth conceptual discussions to understand the factors that can induce actions to improve SH design and upgrading of the existing stock. Most publications emphasise physical and mental health risks. Poor thermal conditions cause illnesses, and depression is prevalent in many housing developments putting pressure on public systems and their health services. Social unrest and family conflict can impose further costs on policing and social assistance. Housing conditions’ cause and effect are rarely detailed in the SC literature, which constitutes a research gap. New housing design, Upgrading or refurbishment initiatives should also effectively increase well-being, reduce environmental impacts, and ultimately contribute towards positive social and technological developments.

Abstract: Apesar da contribuição dos programas públicos de habitação na redução do déficit habitacional, as habitações populares geralmente falham em atender às necessidades dos usuários, além de apresentarem problemas construtivos e relacionados ao conforto. Esse cenário limita o desenvolvimento socioeconômico esperado, gerando custos adicionais aos usuários, como os relacionados à regularização, reformas e expansões. Este estudo faz parte de um projeto maior que visa a utilizar Living Labs (LLs) como abordagem para realização de processos de melhoria de habitações populares, liando a adequação das propostas às necessidades dos moradores. LLs são iniciativas de co-criação e de colaboração entre as partes interessadas (stakeholders), tendo o usuário como peça central para o desenvolvimento de soluções inovadoras. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o planejamento proposto e os resultados parciais obtidos no primeiro estudo de caso em um conjunto habitacional na cidade de C inas. Detalhamos em específico a fase de compreensão do contexto local. Como resultado, este trabalho apresenta um modelo conceitual de uma implementação típica de um LL e contribui para a disseminação de iniciativas de fomento à inovação social em habitações de interesse social.
