Backlog Term -backlog Term mostly used in homebuilding industry

-Backlog refers to unfinished work or to customer orders that have been received but are either incomplete or in the process of completion. Backlog orders are also known as Open Orders.

Backlog analysis -lets you to investigate the potential revenue by reporting all the work that have been received but not yet fulfilled. If you assume that you can fulfill all the remaining work in your backlog, you can predict how much revenue you will generate over the remaining period. It is important to watch your backlog over time. If your backlog is raising, you may face an increasing sales and demands or you may experience a production problem. If your backlog is falling, you may face a sales down trend or you may increase your production efficiency. You should perform a root cause analysis on the backlog changes and adjust your operation accordingly.

Household• . The household  is "the basic residential unit in which 

economic production, consumption, inheritance, child rearing, and shelter are organized and carried out"; [the household] "may or may not be synonymous with family".

• The household is the basic unit of analysis in many social, microeconomic and government models. The term refers to all individuals who live in the same dwelling.

• In economics, a household is a person or a group of people living in the same residence. Most economic models do not address whether the members of a household are a family in the traditional sense. Government and policy discussions often treat the terms household and family synonymous, especially in western societies where the nuclear family has become the most common family structure. In reality, there is not always a one-to-one relationship between households and families.

Professional SquattersProfessional squatters" refers to

"individuals or groups who occupy lands without the express consent of the landowner and who have sufficient income for legitimate housing. The term shall also apply to persons who have previously been awarded homelots or housing units by the Government but who sold, leased or transferred the same to settle illegally in the same place or in another urban area, and non-bona fide occupants and intruders of lands reserved for socialized housing. The term shall not apply to individuals or groups who simply rent land and housing from professional squatters or squatting syndicates

Slum• A slum, as defined by

the United Nations agency UN-HABITAT, is a run-down area of a city characterized by substandard housing and squalor and lacking in tenure security. According to the United Nations, the percentage of urban dwellers living in slums decreased from 47 percent to 37 percent in the developing world between 1990 and 2005. 

The term has traditionally referred to housing areas that were once relatively affluent but which deteriorated as the original dwellers moved on to newer and better parts of the city, but has come to include the vast informal settlements found in cities in the developing world.

Relocation Relocation, also known

as moving is the process of vacating a fixed location (such as a residence or business) and settling in a different one. A move can be to a nearby location within the same neighborhood, a much farther location in a different city, or sometimes a different country.

Attributes of adequate housing ’Thus the concept of adequacy is particularly significant in relation to the right to housing since it serves to underline a number of factors which must be taken into account in determining whether particular forms of shelter can be considered to constitute "adequate housing" for the purposes of the Covenant. While adequacy is determined in part by social, economic, cultural, climatic, ecological and other factors, the Committee believes that it is nevertheless possible to identify certain aspects of the right that must be taken into account for this purpose in any particular context. They include the following: 

a) Legal security of tenure b) Availability of services, materials, facilities and infrastructure c) Affordable d) Habitable e) Accessibility f) Location g) Culturally Adequate 

1. RESETTLEMENT   the transportation of people (as a family or colony) to a new settlement (as after an upheaval of some kind)

Problem Related to Housing• Real causes of problems related to

housing Large chunks of land were cornered by a few - with much help from friendly sources with political connections. Land banks were built. The gold, silver, and diamonds from the glorious land of India that was supposed to benefit all was hastily converted into Special Economic Zones.
