Commonwealth criteria towards the sustainable development of vernacular architecture for decent housing with focus and adaptation to climate change

Abstract

The present investigation determines the impact of the housing model of 22 communities in two local groups of Bajo Lempa: Los Calix and Amando López. The research takes into account approaches to information gathering in a participatory manner with gender equity, promoted in Popular Education workshops, in the communities intervened by basic community infrastructure projects in two specific sections: Housing as an object of social study, and housing as an object of architectural study. In these sections, impact indicators are evaluated: technological, institutional, economic, political, sociocultural and environmental of the communities under management. The research emphasizes the search for a typological model of decent housing with an environmental focus and adaptation to climate change.
