The access to decent housing: guiding principle of public policy social inclusion and soil management

Abstract

The importance of the right to housing, with its close links with other fundamental rights and private and public goods, explains its wide recognition in modern law and the evolution of the legal treatment given to it in the past millennia, "enjoy decent and adequate housing ", regardless of the legal title under which you access the use of that (ownership, lease, loan, possession, formally or precarious tenure thereof, etc.). This approach of "adequate housing" neglects its conception as sole object of private law and becomes a social good, which requires public policies for social and environmental nature involving all sectors of the population, regardless of their financial resources; making the "adequate housing" the guiding principle of public policies for social inclusion and land management. This implies that regulation of the dwelling in order to define the right to housing is centered not in the process of urbanization and building of cities, but I expanded his gaze towards the worthy and proper enjoyment of the dwelling, understanding of habitability , utilities, environment, access to natural and common resources, health, education, recreation, civic participation etc.
