Research On Ger Area Informal Settlement Redevelopment Plan In Ulaanbaatar

Some international experience shows that informal settlements considered harming human development,so competition in urban areas remains a competitive challenge in the growth and development of informal settlements.There are many solutions to the demolition and reconstruction of housing projects provided by the policy.Known as the Felt City,the yurt area is an essential part of Mongolia’s informal settlement,similar to another Mongolian informal settlement in other developed and developing countries.For example,Gecekondu in Turkey,Barrio in Colombia,a Favela in Brazil,slums in South Africa,and Indian slums.However,informal settlements have different terminology,but the problems,origins,and social impacts of the city are very similar.Mongolia’s political and economic transformation has changed over the past two decades.Due to the failure of Mongolia’s government policies,rural-to-urban immigration has intensified,urban populations have increased,and informal urban settlements have increased significantly.Low-income nomadic families in rural areas migrated to cities and settled in the suburbs outside the unplanned towns,leading to the loss of settlement patterns and the impact of increased informal settlements.Ulaanbaatar is also the most crowded city in Mongolia.The main features of these informal settlements include several traditional Mongolian ger dwellings,one or two-story self-built houses,coal sheds,family storage rooms,pit-latirines,and wooden fences around them.At present,the most critical issue in the Ulaanbaatar ger area is to connect urban infrastructure,improve social support and increase public space,integrate public,private sector and citizen participation,government and nongovernmental organizations,international initiatives and federal systems.Besides,the ger area is a significant source of water,soil,and air pollution,leading to widespread public health hazards,especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly,pregnant women,and children.It is a severe problem in Ulaanbaatar’s environment and public health.Therefore,the main problem in urban development in Ulaanbaatar is the informal settlement or ger area,and the issue of the informal settlement in Ulaanbaatar is a national issue.This research will improve to the unplanned resettlement of the ger districts,a severe problem in Ulaanbaatar,and could increase citizen participation in specific locations for further planning.
