text: space per person, while certainly valid in many contexts, constitutes a peripheral housing indicator in many third world States where, for instance, 50-75 per cent of all housing constructed is built by the inhabitants themselves. With this form of self-help housing, the crucial indicators would relate to location, cost, security of tenure and against eviction, community service availability and others. Cubic floor space is far down the list of priorities relevant to housing adequacy.

II. FUTURE STANDARD-SETTING IN THE AREA OF ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS 106. The preliminary report of the Special Rapporteur noted several areas where further standard-setting relating to economic, social and cultural rights could be envisioned. It was noted that new standard-setting would be one specific area where co-operation with the specialized agencies could be strengthened. Moreover, the possibility of linking indicators to further standards was mentioned as worthy of consideration. During the discussion of the preliminary report, several experts indicated their support for initiatives involving further standard-setting. 107. In the present progress report an attempt is made to explore various questions involved in any discussion on further standard-setting. To illustrate the questions which are likely to emerge we chose two different areas. The first concerns the right to adequate housing which is recognized in the international instruments in the field of human rights, although only in a very general way. Possible standard-setting in this area would require a more detailed elaboration of rules in order to provide more specificity for a 
analysis: The text discusses the concept of space per person as a housing indicator and its limitations, particularly in the context of self-help housing in third-world countries. It also mentions the need for standard-setting in the area of economic, social, and cultural rights, specifically in relation to the right to adequate housing. This suggests that the text is focused on issues related to human rights, development, and social welfare.
