A lakhatási igények dinamikus változása és a lakásrendszerek merevsége által generált lakhatási egyenlőtlenségek társadalmi egyenlőtlenségekhez vezetnek, ebből fakadóan pedig elősegítik a társadalmi kirekesztést. A társadalmi kirekesztést befolyásoló tényezők kompenzálása ezért részben a lakhatási rendszer feladata. Magyarországon azonban a lakhatási rendszer - jelenlegi állapotában - éppen az elvárt kompenzáló szereppel ellentétesen funkcionál: az elavult lakástipológiák, a bérlakások hiánya, a lakhatási szegénység és -szegregáció, valamint a társadalmi felelősségvállalás nagyon alacsony mértéke mind fontos tényezői a marginalizálódásnak és komoly társadalmi feszültségek okozói.
Nyugat-Európában a jól működő lakhatási rendszerek sajátja a kidolgozott szociális lakáspolitika, a társadalmi felelősségvállalás támogatása és a bérlakások nagy aránya, azon belül is a közösségorientált lakóhelyek, angol nevükön co-housing-ok jelenléte. Az alulról, azaz bottom-up módon kezdeményezett és fenntartott co-housing projektek ellenpontozzák
az állami- és profitorientált lakásépítéseket, megoldást adnak a ki nem szolgált csoportok lakhatási igényeire, eszközt adnak a társadalmi felelősségvállalás megjelenéséhez, ezáltal csökkentik a lakhatással összefüggő társadalmi feszültségeket. A co-housing-ok csoportján belül a befogadó közösségi lakóhelyek fontos célja az arra rászoruló emberek társadalmi integrációja lakhatás, közösség és szociális támogatás biztosításával.
Magyarországon a co-housing vagy közösségi lakhatás még nem tartozik az ismert és keresett lakhatási formák közé. A közösségi kezdeményezések jelenlegi helyzete azonban reményteli jövőt fest a közösségi lakhatás számára is, melyet a Közösségben Élni kezdeményezés
munkássága is alátámaszt.
A célom, hogy bemutassam a co-housing projektekben rejlő lehetőségeket és hogy Magyarországon használható, alternatív megoldást adjak a társadalmi integráció lakhatási vonatkozásaira.

Cohousing developments have all the characteristics to create resilience in housing. To characterise the blocking factors of cohousing developments we should talk about noncohousing and cohousing countries such as Hungary or Switzerland. Hungary as many other postsocialist countries in Europe suffers from a serious housing crisis. Bottomup initiated cohousing developments could be a potential solution, but the development process is blocked by several factors: bad memories about "topdown housing cooperatives" forced by the socialist regime, the lack of tradition in bottomup developments and the lack of knowledge about cohousing. How can we start the process? As one cannot change the collective memory of a whole country, the first step to realise cohousing projects is knowledge transfer introduction and education. Switzerland as many other cohousing countries such as Austria, Germany and Denmark has a more than one hundred years old cohousing history and tradition. In Switzerland, new generations can learn the rules of the cohousing process from the older generations and the country has a welldeveloped cohousing network, education and training system.

The goal and the tools are the same whether we talk about non-co-housing or co-housing countries. We want to move more and more people to increase the number of co-housing projects. To reach this goal we have to develop the process of knowledge transfer for every stakeholder on every platform and on every level.

New strategies are needed to develop welcoming and inclusive structures where all the different interest groups are included in the short-and long-term developments. Stakeholders from marginalized social groups such as migrants and refugees have no voice and power to be heard and therefore cannot participate in the decision making processes. For inclusion, everybody should find their own space and identity in the city, in the society. Welcoming cities and societies have to recognize the value of migration and start including the experience and knowledge of newcomers. Spaces for equality have to be built where everybody will find their identity; the importance of diversity has to be recognized; and future cities have to be developed together. Equality-based decision making processes in the problem definition-, solution development-, implementation-and maintenance phases have to be established where everybody-not only the privileged-has their voice. It would bring more understanding and acceptance into the societies. The spaces and built structures should be implemented by the users or they should have a flexible political-, economic-and cultural framework that allows itself to be modified. Private-, community-and public spaces which represent and serve the needs of all citizens can be developed in collaborative processes and the marginalized groups can mostly be represented by non-governmental organizations. The built environment has a huge influence on the identity of the users and the identity could and should also have an influence on the built environment. For a healthy well-being, the living spaces should communicate with the users. For real inclusion all the above mentioned characteristics should be achieved which shows the complexity of the situation.

The answers given to housing needs should be in accordance with the real needs of the target groups. In Hungary, the social service system provides only a narrow range of housing possibilities and support: an overcaring model designed for severe problems. There is no medial solution for people with moderate problems. Another drawback of the existing system is the little energy spent on prevention, while the most important step of social integration is to prevent getting into the social service system. In Western Europe, one operable medial solution for social housing needs is bottomup initiated cohousing. Special cohousing projects set up goals like the social integration of people with moderate problems, providing place, community and social support. My goal is to introduce cohousing in Hungary and to provide an alternative tool for social integration and housing.
