| description | Informal development is a specific form of urban sprawl and one of the main
challenges for the sustainable development of major cities in Serbia. In this
paper we examine this phenomenon with regard to the influence of spatial and
urban vulnerabilities of the informal settlements on the housing and
environmental deprivation, especially in the context of inhabitants’
vulnerability to fuel poverty. The empirical research was carried out on the
example of Belgrade’s suburban settlement Kaluđerica. The statistical
analysis of the results has shown that the observed energy characteristics of
housing have no relevant influence on households’ financial burden of energy
expenditure, but that they considerably influence households’ perception on
thermal comfort. The relation between a limited access to public services and
the lack of amenities in the settlement and noted high household expenditure
on transport has proved to be a particularly important indicator. Based on
the perception on overall life commodities, a poor quality of the environment
has been recognized as a key factor of deprivation related to housing.
