not translate into a feeling of safety. As we did not specifically examine the process
of settlement development, the relationship between informal housing delivery and
safety requires further research.
The main take away from this study is that governments need to follow a nuanced
approach to policy that seeks to improve sustainability of and satisfaction with housing in formal versus informal settlements. This study illustrates that a different set
of factors (physical and social) contribute to RS in formal and informal settlements
respectively. Furthermore, since the factors considered in this study explain RS in
informal settlements better than those in formal settlements, this underscores the need
for further studies of determinants of RS and sustainability in formal low-income
settlements.
