It is also usually not owned by the owners of the shacks, and is government property through land trusts. This makes for one hell of a nightmare to unbundle when government occasionally offers land amnesty where you can buy the land your shack sits on, because the borders of ‘your parcel’ is effectively undefined. Source: an acquaintance is going through something functionally similar in Turkey, though the material conditions are much different (its a modern apartment, not shacks, and it’s because of a mis-issued land grant, not just building on gov’t land like these shacks I assume are)
