Talk Description

Institution: Home in Place

The need for climate resilient housing is widely promoted. However, in the Pacific, the socio-cultural aspects of housing and land tenure also involves customary systems. In Fiji, a Vakavanua arrangement can confer traditional obligations. It can also provide a social and economic security safety net that is not available in new urban housing developments.
