Abstract:

This article focuses on the legal geography of gated communities. Sociolegal research has paid comparatively little attention to how specific material forms fare within legal contexts. Drawing on work in legal geography and in science and technology studies, this article isolates judicial decisions that deal with the borders of gated communities from other cases involving private homeowner associations. By focusing on these boundary disputes in which outsiders are excluded from the area, this article finds that courts are resisting the localism presented by gated communities and are instead articulating a social imaginary in which the landscape flows uninterrupted by the exclusionary presence of gates. In contrast to the privatopia literature, this article finds that courts are not complicit in promoting neoliberal visions of community. The social imaginary being developed by courts resists the spatial differentiation of gated communities, producing in its place a thoroughly modern polity in which legal, economic, and political relations flow easily between those inside and outside the gate.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to look at the emergence of “gated communities” in Ghana. It explores gated communities as a nexus of social and spatial relations within the context of urban inequality. It is concerned with the phenomenon in which the rich now live in isolation behind barbed wires and gates, fearing for their lives and properties. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts a sociological approach to the study. It does so initially by focusing on the social constitution of a gated community. The gate becomes a focal point of the analysis because by its function, it separates the residents from others. This spatial construction of gated communities does not only preserve the social stratification of class and demographic groups, it institutionalises this already extant stratification. The paper, therefore, uses social inequality and the status attainment theory as the basis of its work. Status processes play a part in the development of powerful inequalities, which shape the structure of groups and societies as well as, directly and indirectly, the opportunities of individuals (Berger et al., 1980). Findings The paper finds that although people feel safer behind gates, at the same time the fear of the outside world increases for them. Their desire to find a small area in which they feel secure, meanwhile, only expands the vast areas in which they feel insecure. It notes that security can be achieved only and much better, if the causes of insecurity, namely poverty and exclusion, are addressed. Originality/value The paper wades into the gated communities’ phenomenon. It contributes to the discussion in which social difference and inequality have become more marked features of urban society. Its relevance lies in the fact that it analyses this issue through a sociological perspective.

Abstract:

Gated communities, one of those originally Western developments, have suddenly been found in cities in the Global South. “Gated communities”, often defined on the basis of their physical form, have been criticized for disconnecting residents from their neighbors outside the gates and reducing social encounters between them. Focusing on cities in the Global South, a large body of research on social encounters between the residents of gated communities and others outside has used case studies of the middle class living in gated communities versus the poor living outside in slums, squats, or public housing. The assumption that gated communities are regarded as enclosed residential spaces exclusively for the middle class, while the poor are found solely in “informal” settlements, may have an effect of stigmatizing the poor and deepening class divisions. It is rare to find studies that take into account the possibility that there also exist gated communities in which the poor are residents. This article examines who the residents of gated communities are, and at the same time analyzes the extent to which people living in gated communities socialize with others living outside. Based on the results of qualitative research in Bangkok, Thailand, in particular, the article critically studies enclosed high-rise housing estates and shows the following: Walls and security measures have become standard features in new residential developments; not only the upper classes, but also the poor live in gated communities; the amenities which gated communities provide are available to outsiders as well; and residents living in gated communities do not isolate themselves inside the walls but seek contact and socialize with outsiders. This article argues that the Western concept of “gated communities” needs to be tested and contextualized in the study of cities in the Global South.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the nature of gated communities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) focusing on the experiences of residents from different gated communities in the Dammam Metropolitan Area (DMA). It seeks to assess the socio-economic background of such communities and find out why people choose to live in gated communities and their perceptions of such housing patterns. Design/methodology/approach The questionnaire survey technique was used in this study to achieve the main purpose. The study used the triangulation method, which includes both qualitative and quantitative techniques as the most appropriate approach to be adopted. Qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis, while statistical analysis was performed to analyze quantitative data. Findings The findings of the study highlight that although gated communities are physically closed by walls and gates, it is distinguished by good social relations not only among their residents but even with the external surroundings, which makes these communities more attractive. Of course, this contrasts to some extent with the prevailing thinking that such communities live in a state of social isolation. Research limitations/implications The ideas of people who live outside gated communities are very important, however, it was not explored in this study due to time limitations. So, future research could focus on citizens’ perceptions of this type of urban settlement. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study assessing the nature of gated communities in KSA by focusing on the experiences of residents of different gated communities in DMA. Only a few studies have been done in this regard, so this research paper was conducted to bridge this research gap and build upon the literature.

Abstract:

The move to gated communities has been linked to both rising affluence and anxiety. These attempts to withdraw from the perceived dangers of urban areas are also predicated on the pursuit of a neighbourhood ideal, and freedom from danger is usually central to this ideal. This paper critically reconsiders these propositions by examining news reports and media narratives surrounding the nature of homicidal violence occurring within such developments. We have analysed fifty news reports from the last decade that address murder committed inside gated communities. In our analysis of these reports we suggest that attempts to neutralise danger in high crime societies are by no means guaranteed—even via the most strenuous efforts at deploying walls, gates and guards. Building on the arguments of Low (2003) and Zedner (2003), we suggest that demands for security are not only unending but that an outward-facing orientation that positions risk outside gated neighbourhoods is a denial of the continued danger of intimate and other forms of violence within communities and households behind gates. In this context the move to enclosure is more than a pragmatic attempt to defend against threat; it appears to reflect the impotence of efforts associated with addressing deep ontological insecurities. Studies continue to record high levels of fear in gated developments, and highly gendered risks of violence continue to be a part of the social reality of the segregated neighbourhood.

Abstract:

While much has been written on gated communities and the motivations and proposed implications of such a building paradigm, little has informed us about how a landscape is socially and economically transformed by the influx of this community design principle. This article explores a place defined by gated communities highlighting significant differences in social and community life in the city of Scottsdale, Arizona. This is a location, unlike many other gated spaces, where the gating of the community has little to do with avoiding crime. It is mainly a symbol of prestige and exclusivity. Housing in the Northern part of Scottsdale is mostly gated, master‐planned communities geared toward the upper class while the Southern part of Scottsdale is comprised of older housing stock and more organic community life. Both primary and secondary data are analyzed to highlight the socio‐cultural nature of the Upper Sonoran landscape. This article also explores social theory and proposes the use of multi‐scalar thinking and grounded fieldwork in gathering a more detailed, multi‐dimensional picture of community life behind the gate. This picture illustrates the changing nature of institutional forces shaping urban life as neoliberal policies in local government engender the proliferation of private institutions, as residents are willing to relinquish personal property rights for economic and social stability.

Abstract:

El concepto residencial de una urbanización cerrada, ha manifestado un cambio en su enfoque inicial al extender su influencia hacia la producción de urbanizaciones cerradas de vivienda de interés social, dejando de lado los aspectos de tamaño y adecuación a las necesidades de una demanda real de vivienda, eligiendo lugares de localización en riesgo de todo tipo y sin posibilidades de articulación y conexión con el trabajo, la escuela u otras actividades humanas en la ciudad, pues es importante en este negocio son la producción masiva. La presente investigación busca analizar la calidad del hábitat urbano y de la vivienda de interés social en las urbanizaciones cerradas de la Zona Metropolitana de Tampico, principalmente porque hoy existe la conciencia de provocar un cambio en lo social, mediante una revisión de la calidad de los procesos y materiales de construcción de la vivienda, el entorno y su conexión con la ciudad.

Abstract:

The widespread proliferation of different types of volunteered geographic information (VGI) is noteworthy as is its potential application to urban studies. However, questions of data quality still remain. In some parts of the Middle East, gated communities have proliferated rapidly, but relatively little is known about their extent or spatial distribution. This case study of gated communities in the state of Bahrain assesses the quality of Wikimapia, a form of VGI, in accurately identifying elements of urban structure (e.g., gated communities) in an urban context from the Global South. Wikimapia demonstrated high levels of positional accuracy and relatively high levels of attribute accuracy. Identifying the locations of gated communities provides a foundation from which other research questions about segregated housing, fragmentation, and socioeconomic polarization can be addressed. These results highlight Wikimapia's potential as a data source for urban research, particularly in data-poor and non-Western/Northern contexts.

Abstract:

Population growth in the city of Semarang increases the need for residential land, shifting individuals from the center to the suburbs. Tembalang is a sub-district with a population growth of 3.69%. The trend in population growth is used to build gated homes, for middle and upper class individuals who need more comfortable, secure, quiet housing. However, the existence of a gated community makes a physical separation between community settlements. Privatization of public spaces in gated housing potentially leads to social inequality and lack of interaction with the surrounding community. The purpose of this study was to examine the social relations between the villagers around housing and residents of the gated community. The study uses questionnaires and open interviews interviews with 93 respondents from Kampong Gendong and a hierarchical analysis to examine social relations. The results show that there are social relations between gated housing residents and villagers based on residence, and they carry out several activities together. Also, housing typology influences the strength of the interaction between villagers and residents of the gated homes. In general, gated housing appear as a form of exclusive property with separate environmental facilities, which might be used by villagers to strengthen social interaction. The relations with the surrounding community play n important role in increasing the sense of security for residents of gated housing, unlike the use of perimeter fence or the guards.

Abstract:

A noticeable feature of the D source’s rhetorical style is the repetitive use of stock terms and phrases, such as “the place which Yahweh your god will choose to establish his name.” The term שעריך “your gates” is one such term, and it occurs 27 times in D with a non-standard meaning when compared to the normal use of שער “gate” throughout the Hebrew Bible. The precise referent of שעריך has received very little scholarly attention, though a few different meanings have been suggested or implied: that “gates” are towns, that they are towns other than Jerusalem, that they are Israelite clans, or that they are literal, physical gates. In this paper I review and critique these suggestions, and propose a new definition for שעריך based on an analysis of its use in D. I conclude that שעריך refers to any covenantally-granted Israelite settlement within Canaan.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine how satisfied homeowners are with their gated residences. Design/methodology/approach – This study starts out by examining the data collected through self-administered surveys to find out the satisfaction levels and motivations of homeowners toward their gated homes in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. This is then followed by regression analysis to examine the relationship between motivations of owing gated homes and residential satisfaction. Findings – The benefits that motivate households to purchase gated landed homes are “Safety and Security,” “Financial Benefits” and “Social Status” and “Lifestyle Facilities.” It also appears that the satisfaction levels of homeowners are to a certain extent, influenced by the benefits of owning a gated home. Research limitations/implications – It seems that when home buyers purchase houses these days, a major consideration is placed on whether or not the development is a gated one. Practical implications – The congruence and dissonance between residents and their housing situations are essential to prevent the decreasing quality of urban environment. Thus, this study can serve as a guide for urban planners and property developers in planning and designing of enclosed private residential developments. Furthermore, property developers can gain valuable insights on the gated home features that they should improve to meet each homebuyer’s needs. Originality/value – Majority of the studies on residential satisfaction have been focussed on the evaluation of non-enclosure communities. There have only been a limited of studies examining the experience of residents in enclosed private residential environments in a developing country. Hence, this paper has contributed to the existing knowledge in the development of gated estates in a developing country.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to classify major elements in a typology of gated communities and develop a framework that can be used to promote international comparison of this built form. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on a survey of 77 gated housing estates in Hong Kong and interviews with major stakeholders to develop and order a classification of elements of a typology of gated communities. Principle component analysis and regression analysis are used in conjunction with insights from 20 in-depth and about 70 open-ended face-to-face interviews. Findings This paper explores Hong Kong’s gated communities to evaluate the relationships between the four main elements of a typology of gated communities: supply, demand, features of gated estates and characteristics of built form. It is suggested that there is a hierarchical relationship between the elements, i.e. supply and demand are higher-order elements and features of gated housing and characteristics of the housing stock are lower-order elements. The paper additionally highlights the impact of definitional and conceptual drift in key concepts, such as security, privacy, prestige and lifestyle, on developing robust typologies. Originality/value The paper reviews the many and varied typologies of gated communities in the international literature, classifies the elements into four main groups and posits a hierarchical relationship between these elements. This paper proposes a robust methodology for further comparative research into gated communities.

Abstract:

Abstract. Gated Communities stellen eine Extremform der Privatisierung öffentlicher Räume dar, verbunden mit einer radikalen Veränderung der Stadtlandschaft. Insbesondere in Räumen wie Südkalifornien ist eine hohe Konzentration dieser Wohnform auszumachen. Dabei lassen sich anhand umzäunter Alters- oder Feriensiedlungen sowie familienorientierter Gated Communities unterschiedliche Entwicklungsmuster identifizieren. Gründe für den Erfolg von Gated Communities sind unter anderem der Sicherheitsaspekt, die starke Identifikation mit dem Wohnumfeld sowie eine Organisationsstruktur, welche sich in ausgeprägter Form an den Präferenzen der Bewohner orientiert. Die grössten Vorteile von Gated Communities gegenüber konventionellen Siedlungen liegen bei den auf Effizienz ausgerichteten siedlungsinternen Strukturen. Demgegenüber bestehen jedoch bedeutende räumliche Probleme im Zusammenhang mit der Segregation und der Fragmentierung der Stadtlandschaft. Eine Alternative zu Gated Communities insbesondere im Hinblick auf den Sicherheitsaspekt könnten siedlungsplanerische Konzepte wie Pedestrian Pockets oder Traditional Neighborhood Developments darstellen.

Abstract:

There is a growing interest in gated communities as residential developments for upper-middle-income residents in Amman, Jordan, but limited research has been conducted on this subject. Additionally, no clear codes or strategies exist to regulate these communities. Social sustainability has been recognized as a fundamental component of sustainability and residential communities since it concerns individuals’ interactions and livable communities. This can be determined through five indicators: personal relationships, social network support, civic engagement, levels of safety, and shared values and norms. Therefore, this research investigates the impact of these indicators on one’s social life in different typologies of residential development. This exploration involved a mixed-method approach that began with a spatial analysis of selected gated communities, a conventional community, and a survey of households. Subsequently, the results revealed that the mega gated communities were the best in terms of social sustainability in personal relationships, social networks, and civic engagement. These facts may relate to the availability of public spaces and facilities, which are either missing or limited in other developments. Such amenities are integral components of social infrastructure and involve diverse activities, necessitating design guidelines for residential development considering social sustainability.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discover the operational character of gated communities in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is based on a small case study conducted in Iskandar Malaysia, an economic development region located in the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia. In the case study, 12 housing developers were interviewed, involving 32 gated communities altogether. The investigation covered the identification of the governing document used in operating a gated community, the operational purposes and scopes, the arrangement for collection of maintenance fee, and the internal governance within the gated communities. Findings – From the analysis, it was found that two types of gated communities exist in the case study areas, namely the strata gated community scheme, and the gated community scheme (GACOS). The operational mechanism for the former is through a set of rules enforced by the government. Meanwhile, the latter is based on the arrangement set up either by the developer, where legal agreement is applicable, or through the consensus among homeowners. However, despite these differences, both mechanisms share the same intention, that is to operate the gated community based on cooperative-collective sharing arrangement. Research limitations/implications – Despite the vulnerability of GACOS enclosure components, the case study revealed that the number of GACOS is still bigger than the strata gated community scheme. Since this perspective is lacking in this paper, it is suggested that more studies are conducted to explain the reasons behind the indicated phenomenon. Originality/value – The most important contribution of the paper is to highlight the importance of gating experience that is heavily influenced by the local policy setting to determine the survival of a gated community; thus, demonstrating how different they are from each other.

Purpose Gated communities, surrounded by walls or fences, have emerged as a new trend in almost all cities in Turkey, and are homogenous in terms of the socioeconomic status of their occupants. Within these communities, several facilities and services are provided that are available only to the residents, with restrictions on access from the outside, and this has led to criticisms of social segregation. This study aims to analyze the impact of these communities on social segregation in Ankara, through two different surveys aimed at investigating the attitudes of the residents of local neighborhoods and gated communities toward each other. Design/methodology/approach This paper analyzes how the process of gating has affected social segregation in Ankara through two separate surveys: with the residents of gated communities and with the residents of local neighborhoods around these gated communities. Findings The study revealed that the residents of gated communities tended to have a positive view of the residents of local neighborhoods. In contrast, the responses of the local residents show evidence of feelings of social segregation, based on the presence of the high walls, fences and guards that are in place to keep them out of the community. Originality/value This study shows that, although segregation from the rest of the society is not the main reason for gating, the emergence of gated communities in Ankara leads inevitably to a socially and economically segregated city in which local residents feel excluded from these gated areas.

Abstract:

Under et antropologisk feltarbejde i to danske boligkvarterer med fokus på materialitet, spatialitet og virtualitet blev et andet tema uomgængeligt: naboer. De to kvarterer befinder sig i to forskellige danske provinsbyer, hvor de omtales som velhaverkvarterer. Inden for de sidste ti år er beboerne blevet stadigt mere sociale, naboer er blevet til venner og naboskab til fællesskab; i nogle sammenhænge kan kvartererne betragtes som usynligt gatede communities. Samtidig er der sket væsentlige ændringer, hvad angår materialitet. Åbenhed og transparens er blevet en vigtig kvalitet ved husene: der er tendens til større vinduer, færre vægge og større rum, som er både poly-funktionelle og poly-sociale. Desuden har virtuelle strømme en stor betydning i hverdagen, gennem computer, tv og telefon. Artiklen undersøger relationer mellem materialitet og sociale relationer og argumenterer for, at de to er forbundne. Desuden diskuterer artiklen, hvorvidt tendensen til usynligt gatede communities er en følge af globale strømme eller et bolværk imod dem og konkluderer, at fænomenet er et resultat af begge processer. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Kirsten Marie Raahauge: At the Street – in the Complex. About the Global, the Local and the Material While conducting anthropological fieldwork in two neighbourhoods about materiality, spatiality and virtual space, another important topic surfaced: the importance of neighbours. Both neighbourhoods are well off; they are located in two different Danish provincial towns. Within the last 10 years the people living here have become sociable, neighbours have become friends, and neighbourhoods have become communities, invisibly gated communities. Simultaneously openness and transparency have become important themes concerning the house; there is a tendency towards large windows, few inner walls, and large rooms, which are both poly-functional and poly-social. Furthermore the openness of the house is related to virtual flows from computers, telephones, and televisions. This article explores some of the relationships between materiality and social relations arguing that the two are interconnected. The article also discusses the extent to which the tendency towards invisibly gated communities is part of flows of globalisation or rather is a safeguard against them, arguing that the phenomenon can be seen as a result of both of the processes. Key words: Housing, anthropology, materiality, virtuality, space, community.

Abstract:

The aim of this article is to present gated communities in Prague in the context of postmodern urbanization. The article focuses on the spatial distribution of gated communities, their social structure and the causes of emergence of these residential objects. The research is based on various scientific methods. The article shows that there is no statistically demonstrable logic behind the spatial distribution of gated communities in Prague. Particularly socially privileged inhabitants and affluent foreigners live in these residential areas. The emergence of gated communities in Prague is linked with various processes of postmodern urbanism (internationalization of capital and labour, social polarization, fragmentation, neoliberalism or postfordism).

Abstract:

Residential gating is a notable element in cities worldwide, but notable gaps exist in studies of residential gating in smaller cities and the Global South. This article examines the historical and urban geographies of residential gating in the Arab Gulf, using a case study from Bahrain. This research adds new nuance to studies of gated communities by presenting a case study from a smaller city in the Global South and integrating observations and interviews. The results explain the reasons for gated community development in Bahrain and provide insight into gated communities’ built and social environments in Bahrain. The article concludes that in ordinary cities, understanding urban development in general, and gated developments in particular, demands attention to their spatiotemporal contexts. Attention to these contexts can provide new insights that contribute to efforts to interpret and theorise contemporary urbanisation processes.

Abstract:

Managing common property in gated communities is challenging. Although numerous studies have demonstrated that there are several determinants of collective action effectiveness and performances in gated communities, empirical research drawing on a multidimensional social-ecological system (SES) framework in quantitatively exploring relationships between institutional–physical–social factors and gated community collective action remains lacking. Therefore, based on Ostrom’s social-ecological system (SES) framework, this study attempts to identify factors influencing the self-organizing system (collective action) of gated communities in China. Using stratified purposive sampling, ten gated communities with various characteristics in the Taigu district were selected, in which questionnaires were then distributed to 414 households to collect valid data within the communities. Taking the ridge regression as a more robust predictive SES model with a penalty value of k = 0.1 and regularization, R Square of 0.882, this study, among 14 factors, ultimately identified six key institutional–social–ecological factors based on the descending standardized effect size, and they are: (i) types of community; (ii) presence of leaders; (iii) exclusiveness systems of a gated community; (iv) age of gated community; (v) strict enforcement of rules; and (vi) number of households that affect residents’ collective action in terms of community security, hygiene and cleanliness, and facility quality. The research findings provide urban managers and communities novel insights to formulate strategic policies towards sustainable housing and building management.

Abstract:

Ad oggi nessuna ricerca ha mostrato davvero attenzione alla forma di recinzione fisica delle gated communities stesse, alla sua complessitŕ e al suo possibile significato extraarchitettonico. Anche la questione di una possibile differenziazione delle forme di recinzione nelle gated communities a seconda dei Paesi o delle aree culturali non č ancora stata affrontata. Per contribuire a riempire questo vuoto, il paper ha l'obbiettivo di studiare il tipo di recinzione delle gated communities in Cina, attraverso un lavoro empirico svolto sul campo in varie cittŕ (Pechino, Shanghai). Questo contributo mostra che il tipo di recinzione delle gated communities cinesi č caratteristico; esso sembra piů "soft" che "hard", a differenza di Paesi come gli Stati Uniti o il Sud Africa.

Abstract:

Gated communities constitute an important component of the contemporary city in many countries, and the adequacy of such communities as a housing option has attracted the attention of researchers and policy makers from various backgrounds. However, it is unclear how gated communities will be perceived and reconsidered following the COVID-19 pandemic and whether this type of community will become more common. Thus, this study aims to investigate housing experience of gated community residents during the pandemic with reference to the urban context of Saudi Arabia. To this end, the residents of a selected gated community were surveyed using a structured questionnaire to identify the urban and architectural design factors that have affected their housing experience during the pandemic compared to that of the residents of non-gated communities. It was concluded that despite the criticism gated communities have received, they offered a safer and more controlled housing environment during the pandemic from the residents’ point of view, which may create additional housing demands for this type of residential community in the future. This requires further investigation for ascertaining how this may affect the housing market dynamics and strategies.

Abstract:

China is seeking to prohibit the construction of any new gated communities and to gradually open existing schemes after three decades of growth of large-block gated estates. In this article, we use permeability analysis to explore the ‘what if?’ question posed by the policy: what if gated communities became permeable? We ask the question in respect of non-motorised access. We use two permeability metrics, closeness and betweenness, as outcome measures of gated and non-gated versions of the city. We construct a bespoke complete pedestrian network, rather than using the road network, for our permeability modelling. Nanchang, a medium-sized Chinese city with widespread gated communities, is our study area. A series of permeability analyses with and without gated communities is conducted using GIS and spatial design network analysis (sDNA). On the basis of these analyses, we sequentially sort the gated compounds whose opening will maximise permeability gains with minimum expropriation of property rights through coercive ungating. We offer the analysis to urban scholars, planners and governments by way of a quantified simulation. This study and methodology, which is transferable without high data requirements, can assist urban practitioners in reconfiguring urban form to promote a healthier living environment (more walking) and more economically viable local service centres (greater pedestrian footfall concentrations).
