Excluziunea de la locuire a populaţiei de romi.

The study attempts to describe the housing situation of Roma population in Romania, both in general terms and in details. The study has a descriptive, but also an analytical approach, using quantitative and qualitative housing and demographic indicators. Also has a comparative dimension, using indicators in their dynamics (1992-1998-2006) for Roma and at the same time for whole Romanian population. The study is structured in two parts: the first one - published in this issue - is tackling the housing exclusion phenomenon, but also the particulars of Roma housing/dwellings (structure, floor space, housing density etc.) and explanatory factors for the state of art; the second part - to be published in a future issue - has an approach on access of Roma (housing) to public utilities and household assets.
