Housing finance in Niberia, as banking more generally, is characterized by urban bias. Assuming that improved housing is a priority of rural people in Nigeria, and that surplus generated above subsistence would be invested in housing improvement, this paper proposes two new financing methods based on the social circumstances of rural people. The first uses farmers' crops as deposits converted to a monetary value by rural banks. The other option for financing rural housing development is to generate crop surpluses and aggregate rural savings in barefoot banks. (DÜI-Hns)

AbstractThere is a potential for mobilizing rural savings in Nigeria to improve housing, a neglected sector of social development in the countryside. Housing finance, as banking more generally, has been characterized by urban bias. Several proposals for developing rural housing finance are put forward, including adapting models of successful barefoot banking in other countries to the rural environment of Nigeria.

Weltweit wie auch in Lagos nimmt die städtische Kriminalität beängstigende Ausmaße an. Die zunehmende Unsicherheit wird durch Armut und den Kampf ums Überleben verstärkt. Es wird untersucht, wie sich dies auf die Architektur und das städtische Aussehen auswirkt. Dazu werden die Ursachen für wachsende Gewalt, die unterschiedlichen Kriminalitätsformen und ihr Auftreten nach Stadtteilen, die Beziehungen zwischen Kriminalität und sozio-ökonomischem Status betrachtet. Als Fazit werden mehrere Vorschläge zur Eindämmung der Gewalt entwickelt. (DÜI-Wgm)
