Familiarities and Socio-economic Status of Homeless People with Special Reference of Lucknow District

I have prepared my dissertation (research) work. On homeless people. I will tell you in this, what problems do the homeless people have to face when they live on the streets or in a slum?

I review the existing literature concerning homelessness and 

the Experience of being homeless. I explore the meaning of both home and homelessness, examine their diametrical relationship and review the Various interrelationships between such concepts as home, family, gender, trauma, self and identity. I examine the psychotherapy concept of containment and investigate the relationship between homelessness 

and non-containment.

I examine the role and place of psychotherapy in the discourse around homelessness and argue that, although psychotherapy as a profession and psychotherapists as practitioners have pledged to extend their theories and services to all persons and not to be restricted or hindered by any bias or prejudice, there is a dearth of psychotherapy theory and psychotherapeutic services dealing with both the phenomenon and the experience of being homeless.

Keeping in view the issues and problem of homeless people and their socio-

economic conditions in Lucknow.

1. To find out the external factors and reasons of homelessness.

2.To check out the government facilities impact on homeless people.

3.To find out the violation of human rights of homeless people living in 

slum and shelter areas in Lucknow district.

4.To know to find out the economic and hygienic problem they are 

facing while living in slum and shelter area in Lucknow district.

5.To assess the violation of human rights of homeless people.

I have taken sample size of 50 homeless people had been decided by the researcher on the basis of the multiple participant characteristics however the sample finally consisted of 50 homeless participant due to lack of time the sampling was a mix of Purposive and convenience Random Sampling participants were selected who are living in slum area and shelter home in 

Lucknow district.

Researcher have interviewed with each category of people who are homeless by using the tool interview schedule purposive sampling was done on people who have been assisted by NGO and Organization of SUDA and 

DUDA to access Healthcare facilities and night shelter home and 2 also analyze the violation of the right the sample was intended to maximize the chances of getting rich information about facilitating factors that enabled access to Healthcare by the homeless given that the sample comprised of 

those who had been known to suffer ill health and who had in fact manage to access Healthcare and night Shelters.

Sample size

A sample size of 50 homeless people of each category and gender who are living in slum and shelter homes in Lucknow district.

Source of Data Collection

Primary data: is collected by using the tool of interview schedule on 

homeless people who are living in slum and shelter home areas data has been collected directly face to face by using interview schedule method.

Secondary data: it has been obtained in directly from previous research papers online sources generals published on internet, etc.

Tools for data collection

Researcher have to collect the data for the research and would be done carefully in the guidance of supervisor basically research in slum area and in shelter homes where the homeless people are living so the interview schedule it would be useful to collect the information about the study and 

easy to extract all information regarding research objective interview schedule schedule is the another procedure under self reporting technique of individual data collection in the interview the individual is made to answer several questions put to him related to a specific aspects in face to face situation in coordinating interview the interviewer may use question specified before end this is called structured interview if the interview doesn't have any pre-specified questions while conducting interview it is 

called unstructured interview.

A respondent‘s profile is often used to describe his/her characteristics and 

learning needs, to help guide important educational, social, political and economical decisions for a particular individual, or to guide individualized 

institutional planning. It refers to a personal data of the respondents.

In a research, profile of respondents keeps an important place in the entire study. Profile of the respondents is a very important variable to determine 

socio-economic and psychological status of the universe in any social research. We study the age, educational status, economic status, religion and caste, occupation, marital status and the migration status of the 

respondents etc under the profile of the respondents.

These variables are very important to determine behavioral patterns of person in the society. The social environment of any community is a key factor to form attitude, thinking and action of the person. Respondents in this study are rural people, who live and spend their life in the rural 

background.

Rural population (% of total population) in India was reported at 66.46% in 

2017, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators and their socio-economic conditions affect the family, the society and significantly the future generations to come. Therefore the detailed study of the profile of the respondents is important to assessing the impact of road 

construction on the socio-economic condition of rural people. As well-constructed and relevant interview schedule has been used to collect. 

Out of the 50 respondents, 23% were male and 27% were female. This figure is was found during the homeless interview schedule in Lucknow. The ratio of females to males is nevertheless far high. While the survey was being 

conducted, it was ascertained that many women avoid coming to the city for fear that living on the street will put them at risk of falling victim to sexual assault and other crimes. This factor could potentially help explain the 

observed gender imbalance in Lucknow‘s homeless population.

There are only twenty two functional homeless shelters in the lucknow, managed by two Foundation, District Urban Development Agency and State Urban Development Agency. The homeless shelters can accommodate only 326 homeless people whereas the study 

counted as many as 6,559 homeless people. Clearly, the number of homeless people far exceeds the full capacity of the homeless shelters. Only 0.58% persons interviewed stayed in shelter homes.

These shelters hardly function to their full capacity. 

Only two of the five shelters were found to have a semblance of 

cleanliness. There is a lack of awareness about homeless shelters among the homeless people. The only place where the survey team found any details about the shelter home in the form of a signboard or flex banner for public display was at the Charbagh Railway Station and Alambagh Bus Stand. Even many of the homeless, who are aware about the shelter homes, are reluctant to go there because they are located very far from the areas where they park themselves for livelihood. Some homeless people said that they generally do not have money to travel to the homeless shelters every night. It was however 

beyond the scope of the study to go into the details of the functioning of the homeless shelters, which may be a subject of a future study. 

This chapter has demonstrated that there are immense, complex, 

Multi-dimensional difficulties to be faced by those exiting 

rooflessness. These difficulties arise from complex structural, 

behavioural and emotional factors that are inextricably entwined and, at times, negate positive influences or exacerbate existing problems. 

Difficulties appear to increase with the duration of rooflessness and 

the intensity of involvement with the homeless culture. Although 

deserving versus undeserving is supposedly an Outdated concept 

within social policy, there are clear indications that value judgments

concerning roofless people in general and drink/drug addicts in 

particular, have shaped And defined existing resettlement policies. 

These have then become entrenched within the homeless industry and local and national government provisions. This has, by and large, created an uncoordinated approach to resettlement that actively 

discourages and/or prevents people from moving into tenancies and fully re-integrating back into housed society. There are clear

indications that a number of changes could be made to make

resettlement easier and more sustainable.
