dc.description.abstract That" Architecture is for people" has become a well-known clinch, which is been used without a precise comprehension of its deeper assets. Thus intern has created stress and discomfort in the ultimate user especially in the provision of housing for the poor community dweller. The present issue of housing has been comprehended as a comprehensive provision of homes. Thus it has directed the enabler to study beyond the dweller's basic enwrap for shelter; House. The personal domain of a dweller has continued yonder the house to the community space where they have encode their social manifestations. The fore said social customs have entrusted the poor dwellers communal existence for successive generations. Thus the values have been their main driving force in which interaction has become outstanding, substantial to their economical status. The dwellers have shown unique revelation of the phenomenon in their spontaneous settlements accordingly to the dynamic contextual issues. The communities have shown interacting in three main urban realms of family, visitors and public, which intern has linked them to the rest of the society. All in all such settlements have been the dweller's natural orientation to their immediate environment and have reflected their emotional sentience of home. The regenerated housing for the resettled dweller have detached them from their original homes and housed them in unattached contexts. This has kept them in isolation due to the lack of interaction with the surrounding environment and the neighboring communities. These insubordinate environments have kept the dwellers unattached to their future social development. The enigma has created in homelessness as a majour social calamity. Therefore the study has venerated the importance of attaching the individual territories of a dweller through the intractable spaces with its micro and macro context. Further, it has projected the importance of perceiving those spaces as a centre, an enclosure, and a continuation as to be distinguished as an element of 'home'. The spaces for interaction thus have been likened to their surrounding contexts at changing gradations in the particular studies. Coherently the spontaneous settlements have projected their farthest development as well as the future potentials through such spaces. Conclusively the space for interaction has been magnified as a changing dimension in accordance with the dwellers developing economical level. Thus these distinctive spaces have been heeded as unique elements of the spirit; core of home in respective settlements beyond their universal definitions.
