ROTONDARO, Rodolfo and CACOPARDO, Fernando. Propuestas de gestión y practicas participativas con tecnología de tierra en la vivienda de barrios urbanos pobres. Buenos Aires-Mar Del Plata, Argentina. Apuntes [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.2, pp.278-291. ISSN 1657-9763.
This article shows partial results concerning a scientific and technological research focused in the generation and management of processes and participatory practices of construction technologies for housing in poor urban sectors. The main objective is to develop alternatives for new building materials, elements and building systems in the context of self-made houses and surroundings in the periphery neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata. Local self-builders and families, neighborhood committees, universities, CONICET, NGO's and private enterprises are involved in the project. As part of a participatory work strategy, progress was made in the design and construction of basic components and elements for floors, walls, plaster and stoves, using materials and construction techniques with earth. Training workshops were also conducted in the neighborhoods to capacitate self-builders, student groups, technicians and professionals. Finally the study provides results in relation to technical and construction aspects, design, implementation and evaluation of management methods with participatory and cross section procedures developed with the target population.
