| Research Abstract |
The detailed case studies on the innovative projects on the environmental improvement of low income areas in Manila, Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City have been conducted. The question of how to improve the poor living environment in low-income areas of cities in developing countries is at the intersection of many issues such as urbanization, poverty alleviation and environmental protection. This paper overviews the evolution of community based planning and implementation for the improvement of their living environment Empowerment the community through the assistance of NGO, micro financing, networking as well as institutional reform through partnership is the key to the success of the community based planning and development. Community-based approach is recognized as a viable method to provide basic infrastructure and service for low-income community. However projects for improvement of living environment for the urban poor doesn't necessarily follow community-based approach, but they are sometimes insufficient in the level of participation and initiative of community. In conclusion, we found that understanding of existing social network in the community and strengthening and utilization of social network are indispensable for improvement of living environment through community-based approach.
