A look at the legislation of the states in the field of housing, allows to warn a lack of harmonisation in the concepts used for their protection. Indeed, several concepts are used interchangeably as if they were synonymous, not being equivalent; because constitutionally recognized only the “dignified and decent housing” as a human right, the concept of “adequate housing” results inaccurate and unconstitutional. Certainly, the concept of “adequate housing” is not in the Constitution, hence its unconstitutionality; despite this, the local legislator uses it to refer to the human right to housing and its security. In 27 of the 32 of the Mexican states, according to this study, local legislation uses the concept of “decent and dignified housing” in response to the fundamental norm, representing less than 85%, and to a lesser extent used the concepts of “decent housing” and “adequate shelter”. In some cases, it was only drafted in legislation “decent housing”, and thus omitted the term “decent”; while, in some other cases, are left aside the reference to the “dignity” and “decorum”, using the concept of “adequate housing”. Although, in some cases, a combination of them also refers to this law as a “dignified, decent and adequate housing” or only “decent and suitable housing”.  El actual derecho a la vivienda en las legislaciones locales de las entidades federativas es considerado un derecho humano, y la redacción de sus principios se encuentran inspirado por dos fuentes jurídicas: por un lado, está la Constitución Política de los Estados; y, por otro lado, el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos. El concepto de “vivienda adecuada” no se encuentra en la Constitución, de ahí su inconstitucionalidad; pero a pesar de esto, el legislador local lo emplea para referirse al derecho humano a la vivienda y a su garantía. En 27 de las 32 entidades del país, acorde a este estudio, la legislación local emplea el concepto de “vivienda digna y decorosa” atendiendo a la norma fundamental, lo que representa poco menos del 85%, y en menor medida utiliza los conceptos de “vivienda digna” y “vivienda adecuada”.   Centro Universitario de Arte, Arquitectura y Diseño 2017-07-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed article Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf https://www.revistavivienda.cuaad.udg.mx/index.php/rv/article/view/31 10.32870/rvcs.v0i2.31 Vivienda y Comunidades Sustentables; No 2 (2017): Vivienda y Comunidades Sustentables; 69-82 Vivienda y Comunidades Sustentables; Núm. 2 (2017): Vivienda y Comunidades Sustentables; 69-82 2594-0198 10.32870/rvcs.v0i2 spa https://www.revistavivienda.cuaad.udg.mx/index.php/rv/article/view/31/40
