- Push Factors
- Shortage of agricultural jobs or alternative jobs to agriculture in the country
- Latifundiasystem- landowners take back land
- High infant mortality in rural areas due to lack of clean water, electricity and sewage
- Periodic flooding in North East Brazil
- Lack of schools and decent education
- Push Factors
- Results of Rapid Urbanisation
- The shanty town is likely to be found on inappropriate land
- Maybe prone to flooding, steep slope, badly polluted by neighbouring industries, fire hazard due to wooden houses
- Shortage of affordable housing- migrants cant get on property ladder
- Shanty town services are non-existent or incapable of basic standard of living
- Lack of basic services like clean water supply, rubbish and sewerage disposal- risk of disease high
- Increased Volume of traffic on poorly maintained roads
- Lack of employment means that people have to look for other ways of earning money in informal sector
- Lack of jobs= work in informal sector- low paid, menial jobs make up half of cities workforce
- The shanty town is likely to be found on inappropriate land
- Attempts to solve problems
- Clearance of the slums
- Authorities tried to clear slums but migrants moved elsewhere
- Site and service schemes
- schemes whereby the government will provide a site and basic ammenities eg water and sewerage facilities- migrant given ownership & expected to complete work- cooperative schemes- cheap -sense of control over future and community spirit
- Rehabilitation
- Provide residents of the shanty town with materials to improve existing shelters-encouraged to set up community schemes to improve education and medical services- residents may be given ownership- authorities provide electricity, water and sewerage disposal
