Abstract

[spa] La vivienda en la isla de La Reunión : entre la tradición y la modernidad - Las cabanas, forma traditional del habitat, representan la mitad del parque de viviendas de la isla de La Reunión y aún más si se anaden las cabanas deterioradas. Disponiendo de un confort aún muy modesto con relación a las normas metropolitanas, la calidad de esas viviendas se ha ido mejorando ya por iniciativa individual ya como resultado de programas sociales de construcciones nuevas sobre el modelo tradicional. . Paralelamente a este sector tradicional, un sector moderno privado respetando las normas metropolitanas esta en plena expansión desde 1986 y en estrecha relación con el acrecentamiento del numéro de empresarios, de ejeutivos, de miembros integrantes de profesiones libérales y de funcionarios que pudieron sacar provecho de la buena coyuntura económica de los ultimos anos y de importantes ventajas fiscales. En cambio, el desarrollo del sector social sufrió las consecuencias de las vacilaciones entre la construcción nueva de tipo tradicional y la construction de viviendas sociales modernas. El fuerte crecimiento que se espera del número de hogares y el necesario remozamiento del parque acarrean necesidades importantes de viviendas nuevas del orden de 8500 a 10000 unidades por año en la decada que acaba de iniciarse. Favorecer la extension del parque y su renovation bajo sus dos formas, tradicional y moderna y contribuir al alojamiento de numerosos hogares desprovistos o casi de ingresos de actividad, constituyen los desafíos de la poli'tica de vivienda en La Reunión para los anos venideos. [eng] Housing in Reunion: Caught Between Tradition and Modernism - Huts, the traditional form of habitat, represent half the homes in the island of Reunion, and perhaps more if dilapidated huts are included. Endowed with scant comfort in relation to the metropolitan norms, the quality of these homes is, however, improving, either due to the owner's initiative or to social programs which promote the construction of new homes based on the traditional model. . In addition to this traditional sector, a private modern sector following the metropolitan norms has boomed since 1986 due to increases in the number of contractors, executives, professionals and civil servants who have been able to take advantage of the favourable economic environment and considerable tax advantages. On the other hand, the development of the social sector has suffered from a hesitation between new construction of the traditional type and the construction of modern low income homes. . The expected rapid growth in the number of households and the necessary renewal of housing create a considerable need for new homes -between 8,500 and 10,000 homes a year- for the coming decade. Promoting the addition of new homes and the renewal of old ones in both their traditional and modern forms, as well as contributing to providing homes for numerous households which are almost or completely devoid of revenue, constitute the two largets of the housing policy in Reunion for the coming years. [fre] Les cases, forme traditionnelle de l'habitat, représentent la moitié du parc de logements de l'île de la Réunion, voire davantage si on y ajoute les cases dégradées. Bénéficiant d'un confort encore très modeste par rapport aux normes métropolitaines, la qualité de ces habitations s'améliore pourtant, soit à l'initiative individuelle, soit à la suite de programmes sociaux de constructions neuves sur le modèle traditionnel. . A côté de ce secteur traditionnel, un secteur moderne privé aux normes métropolitaines est en pleine expansion depuis 1986 en liaison avec l'accroissement du nombre d'entrepreneurs, de cadres, de professions libérales et de fonctionnaires qui ont pu profiter de la bonne conjoncture économique des dernières années et d'avantages fiscaux importants. Par contre, le développement du secteur social a pâti des hésitations entre la construction neuve de type traditionnel et la construction de logements sociaux modernes. . La forte croissance attendue du nombre de ménages et le nécessaire rajeunissement du parc entraînent des besoins importants de logements neufs de l'ordre de 8 500 à 10 000 logements par an pour la décennie qui s'ouvre. Favoriser l'extension du parc et son renouvellement sous ses deux formes, traditionnelle et moderne, tout en contribuant au logement de nombreux ménages dénués ou presque de revenus d'activité constituent les enjeux de la politique du logement à la Réunion pour les années à venir.
