The interconnectedness of markets is a useful measure of risk and therefore an indicator of economic stability. In this paper, the interconnectedness among housing markets in different metropolitan areas was analyzed. Interconnectedness between the housing market and other markets were also calculated. In regional studies, West Coast housing markets were found to be the most influential on housing markets elsewhere. Interestingly, overall connectedness across regions steadily increased prior to the subprime mortgage crisis, representing a systematic risk increase. When analyzing diverse markets in relation to the housing market, the stock market was found to have the highest interconnectedness, suggesting that financial health of stock market depend on financial health of housing market. The increased systematic risk due to high housing market interconnectedness coupled with the interdependence between the stock market and the housing market were key indicators of the subprime mortgage crisis. Such measures should be monitored in the future to avoid a similar economic disaster.

Full textAbstract:
Single-family detached homes—the lowest-density housing type—continue to dominate the U.S. home construction industry. These homes are carbon-intensive and automobile dependent; the built environments they produce militate against civic relations and attitudes. Cities need to increase density, support multimodality, and develop social capital, but these issues are not propelling cities to diversify their housing stock. The objective of this research is to facilitate this shift by establishing economic arguments for increased density and housing diversity. Municipal-level U.S. Census data is used to explore the interurban relationships between diversity in housing stocks and unemployment rates in 146 mid-size American cities. A measure of diversity, Shannon’s H, is applied to housing stock and found to be strongly associated with lower unemployment for workers over 25 years old after controlling for measures of urban social burden. In contrast to the much-heralded “trade-offs” between environmental quality, social equity, and economic development, these findings suggest that the dense, walkable, low-carbon city, and the economically sustainable city might be the same place.

Since the beginning of 2020, the "Nurly Zher" housing and communal development program for 2020-2025 came into force in Kazakhstan. Within the framework of this program there are tasks of capital repair and renovation of the housing stock. The passportization of the housing stock was adopted as one of the measures to solve this problem. At the same time there are some discrepancies in the statistical data between the Committee of Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the RK and Local Executive Authorities with a simultaneous increase in the volume of housing construction. This article examines the volume of residential buildings commissioned in Nur-Sultan depending on changes in the population of the city. It is assumed that as the number of people in the city will increase the volume of housing stock. To understand the volume of housing in Nur-Sultan in the period of the program "Nurly Zher" in the article gives a forecast increase in commissioned housing by 62% by 2025, compared with the value at the end of 2020. Based on the data obtained it is concluded that for a more effective solution to the problem of capital repair and renovation of housing stock an alternative approach or tool is needed.

The subject of this research is the process of converting former industrial sites to residential facilities. The object is the housing stock of Moscow. The author explores the theoretical aspects of reproduction of housing stock, giving special attention to conversion of the category of industrial buildings to residential category, which expands the quantitative characteristics of the housing stock. Analysis is conducted on the statistical data of conversion of industrial sites to residential facilities, as well as the available examples of redevelopment of the industrial sites. The conclusion is made that the housing stock is an interlink between many life spheres and the development of its characteristics is required on a permanent basis, which in essence is the reproduction of housing stock through reconstruction, modernization or total building renovation. The implementation of such method as conversion of former industrial sited into residential facilities would contribute to the expansion of the real estate market and increase in the number of residential units, minimizing many issues in the housing stock. The author proves the feasibility of solving issues in the housing stock of the city through conversion of former industrial sites to housing facilities. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that many authors view such method as the solution of disused former industrial buildings, rather than from the perspective of minimization of issues in the housing stock.

The housing stock is the most important national treasure, all Russian society and government bodies are interested in its growth and preservation. The very sphere associated with the management of the operation of the housing stock is constantly developing and requires improvement at all levels of management. The managing organization, as an executor of housing and communal services, is the basic link between consumers and contractors of these services, as well as providers of communal resources. Bearing responsibility to citizens for the uninterrupted and high-quality provision of housing and communal services, the managing organization constitutes the economic core of the entire economy. Therefore, an assessment of the current state of management of the operation of the housing stock will make it possible to develop directions for improving the activities of managing organizations, which will help to increase the efficiency of their activities and the level of quality of services provided for managing the operation of the housing stock. In the article, the author’s attention is drawn to the dynamics of indicators of the housing stock and its components in the Russian Federation. The features of the housing stock as a management object are presented. The analysis of: financial indicators of the activities of enterprises for managing the operation of the housing stock in Russia (balanced financial result; profitability of works, services; return on assets; autonomy ratio; ratio of own circulating assets; current liquidity ratio); indicators for payment for services provided by enterprises for managing the operation of the housing stock (accrued housing payments to the population; actually paid by the population for housing payments; actual level of housing payments by the population; arrears of the population for housing payments); indicators of debt on financial obligations of enterprises carrying out activities for the management of the operation of the housing stock. Highlighted the problems that the owners of the housing stock in the event of arrears in payment for services.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to present the concept, classification and significance of the involvement of tenants in the processes of managing council flats. Tenant participation is becoming an increasingly popular subject of research owing to numerous benefits in the field of social housing stock management, such as better adjustment of property managers’ services to tenants’ needs and preferences, or an increase in the efficiency and economics of management. However, the mobilization of tenants will be successful only if they can participate in the decision-making process in a relatively high degree. Our discussion focuses on social housing stock in Poland.

Full textAbstract:
The author develops a simulation model to estimate the optimum timing and maximum impact of full rehabilitation of New Zealand housing stock. The model is based on the theories of classical population dynamics. Data used in the model include empirical estimates of the mortality of New Zealand housing stock, assumed schedules of depreciation of dwelling services, and assumed schedules of annual maintenance costs. The dwelling service years provided by dwellings serve as a proxy for benefits of rents or imputed rents (excluding rent for land). The cost to construct one dwelling and fractions thereof serve as a proxy for costs of maintenance, rehabilitation, replacement, and new construction. Optimum timing of rehabilitation can increase the quantity of benefits provided by the housing stock per unit total cost but a reduction in the growth rate of new dwellings has a greater impact in achieving the same objective. A stationary and stable housing stock can provide 45% more dwelling services per unit total cost than a housing stock which doubles in size every 35 years.

The housing and communal conditions of the city of Sevastopol are examining. The purpose is to determine the level of development of the housing and communal services of the city based on the study of housing conditions and the regulatory framework in this area. In particular, the analysis showed that there are positive trends in this industry, such as an increase in the total housing stock, major repairs in most of the apartment buildings, a decline in the proportion of emergency housing and an increase in the improvement of housing stock with water and gas pipelines, and heating. There is also a positive trend in the actual and planned indicators, which reflect the level of development of the housing and communal services of the city of Sevastopol. It was revealed that a fairly large number of the population needs to be provided with residential premises, but, on average, only 2% of the population of the city receive it annually.

The article considers the housing stock of the Republic of Belarus and approaches to determining the payment for the use of residential premises in dormitory and rental-type residential premises due to their largest share in the structure of the housing stock. The comparison of the amount of income from the use of residential premises in a dormitory on the example of a building in Minsk and rental-type residential premises, taking into account the proposed project of reconstruction of the dormitory for a rental-type apartment building with an additional 6th floor superstructure and the preservation of office space on the ground floor. According to the results of the study, the relevant conclusions are drawn, in particular, the authors note: an increase in the rental housing stock since its formation in the structure of the housing stock, the effectiveness of the reconstruction of the dormitory building for a rental-type apartment building in terms of comparing income from fees for the use of premises, as well as the need to revise approaches when determining fees for the use of residential premises in dormitories and rental housing.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing energy efficiency of the housing stock is one of the largest challenges in the built environment today. In line with the international Paris-Climate-Change-Conference 2015, Dutch municipalities and housing associations have embraced the ambition to achieve carbon neutrality for their social housing stock by 2050. However, most deep renovation designs for increasing the energy efficiency of dwellings focus on the relatively easy portion of the housing stock: postwar row housing. Furthermore, such design solutions are mostly produced without much care for architectural quality and cultural heritage, nor for testing for consumer preferences. Yet, such aspects are of major importance in tenement housing, particularly regarding the architectural quality of the huge numbers of walk-up apartment buildings from the inter- and postwar periods owned by housing associations in the larger cities. Renovation of buildings of this typology is more complex because of, among others, technical, social, and heritage factors. To support decisions in this complex context, a General Transformation Framework and a Roadmap has been developed for generating design solutions for deep renovation of representative parts of postwar walk-up apartment buildings with the aim to increase energy efficiency; retain its architectural legibility and cultural heritage value; and allow for the presentation of (end) users, with various options for adaptation to assess their preferences.

The article presents analysis of the investment support of the primary residential real estate market, which identifies the features of project financing for the construction of apartment buildings in modern conditions. Analysis of the reproduction of the housing stock in the Astrakhan region was carried out on the basis of statistical data. There was pointed out a decline in the commissioning of housing, a negligible increase in the volume of housing stock in the region along with increasing figures of housing provision. The methods of calculating the housing affordability coefficient were analyzed, their shortcomings were noted and proposals were prepared for adjusting the factors considered in the calculations. The practice of the primary residential real estate market functioning has been investigated and the influence of factors and conditions on the housing price has been defined. Based on the analysis of the investment and organizational mechanism of project financing of housing construction using escrow accounts, the problems and bottlenecks were identified, methods for solving these problems were developed: a scheme for choosing design solutions and a mechanism for step-by-step disclosure of escrow accounts. Recommendations are proposed to increase the investment attractiveness of the projects including the developer’s choice of the optimal financing strategy and sales strategy, the formation of the object image before the start of sales, a rational combination of design solutions, a reduction in the number of storeys in block of flats to increase the comfort of the urban environment and a favorable impact on purchasing power.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, a threshold cointegration test within the framework of Autoregressive Distributed Lag model suggested by Li and Lee (2010) was employed to quantify the wealth effects in Chinese stock market and domestic housing market. The time-varying features of wealth effects in these two markets were investigated through rolling regression test. The empirical results show that the substitute effect exists in the status of strong market while the wealth effect exists in the status of weak market. It is noteworthy that the wealth effect in the stock market shows an increasing trend while the wealth effect in the housing market reveals a stable trend. The policy implication is that the authority should properly strengthen the regulation in the stock market and curb the rise of housing price when the markets are in the strong status while should increase the disposable income for residents if the markets are in the weak status.

AbstractAffordable Housing is a critical issue in many developing countries that impacts their potential for sustainability and socio-economic development. Lack of affordable housing, slower growth of housing stock, and aging housing conflates numerous other problems in Pakistan, including overcrowding, poor indoor air quality, prevalence of preventable diseases, and development of slums and katchi abadies, etc. These challenges lessen living standards in many areas. Unaffordable housing forces low income families in urban areas to live in dilapidated areas. An increase in the construction of affordable housing is needed to mitigate housing affordability challenges in Pakistan. Setting aside land quotas for low-income families in housing development schemes is not sufficient because the households still lack the means to construct housing. This paper attempts to identify the causes of unaffordable housing and solutions for its provision.

Full textAbstract:
This paper uses Zagreb as a case study for assessing the development of a socialist city and the housing issues that this development implied. After World War II, Zagreb experienced steep demographic growth owing to a large influx of rural population, and to a lesser extent as a result of natality increase. In 1946, the city had about 270 thousand inhabitants, and in 1969 about 570 thousand. Due to the accelerated industrial development, it needed new workforce, but lacked housing, and its infrastructure was not sufficiently developed to meet the needs of all its residents. Housing construction was based on both social and private initiatives, whereby socially funded projects were multi-storey buildings and the privately funded ones single-storey houses. Due to these private constructions, that is, houses with one storey only, Zagreb resembled a village rather than a city. In assessing the housing construction of Zagreb and its urban development in general after World War II, we are inclined to agree with Davor Stipetić’s statement that Zagreb arose as an architectural enterprise that lacked planning in its development.

Tasks, goals, and approaches to repair are outlined. Methods of architectural and planning improvement of the living environment of mass construction are determined and the ways of increase of productivity and life expectancy of the housing stock of Ukraine are formed. Describes the levels at which the process takes place, each corresponding to its own update object and representing an "ideal" update model. Lack of professional standards and conceptual ambiguity of the terms "repair" due to the uncertainty of their methodological principles. The preconditions of the process of renewal of Ukrainian cities and the factors influencing and determining the ways of the renewed component are revealed. Analytical methods of the practical and theoretical basis of a reconstruction of obsolete housing stock are used. Consecutive operations on updating the housing stock are given. Definitions have been formed that reveal the concept of housing reconstruction and its relevance for the living environment in Ukraine in the context of housing reform and the development of regulations in the process of decentralization. The term "gentrification" is considered a kind of renewal. The results obtained after the renewal of the territory, economic and social benefits are determined. There are the following indicators of the benefits of repair: separation or comparison, depending on the situation, more efficient use of territory and resources; increasing the investment and architectural attractiveness of the environment; extension of housing life; adaptation of the territory with obsolete buildings to the new functional requirements (partially or completely), as well as increasing the comfort of housing. Examples of a complex of repair works on the basis of European countries are given.

Full textAbstract:
Housing wealth among urban residents has been a hotspot issue, but there is a dearth of literature focusing on rural housing wealth. Using housing registration data in Shanghai, this study examines the status and accumulation of rural housing wealth at the rural-urban fringe. Results show that rural housing wealth at the rural-urban fringe is characterized by high stock and frequent extension and reconstruction dominated by auxiliary houses. Rural housing wealth is still relatively equitable, but compared to their initial housing wealth distribution, disparities in urban villages or suburban villages are obviously higher than in the outer suburbs. These disparities are mainly driven by the expansion and reconstruction of rural auxiliary houses, typically the horizontal expansion of auxiliary homes. We suggest that defining explicit construction rules for rural auxiliary will help to avoid the disorder increase in illegal housing and, subsequently, rural housing wealth disparity.

The process of the housing stock aging is constant and continuous. Untimely repair of housing significantly increases the risk of accidents. The purpose of the management companies is to carry out a complex of repair works of apartment buildings according to the current quality requirements for the entire period of operation. The real estate, enterprises, organizations owners engaged in the operation and maintenance of housing, are extremely interested to increase the duration of the effective operation period for buildings and structures basing on the system of maintenance and repair of buildings. This system is equally important for each period of the life cycle of the property. In the field of housing and communal services, despite the ongoing reforms, the problem of timely financing of repair works aimed at ensuring comfortable and safe living conditions in accordance with the existing quality standards is acute. In this regard, the development of an effective system of housing maintenance is a priority. The current state and the main prospects of development of maintenance and maintenance of the housing stock during the planning and repair work in apartment buildings are considered. The proposed multilevel structure of the maintenance system and the methodology of evaluation of technical condition of residential properties taking into account the individual characteristics of the object. The method of planning of repair and construction works taking into account organizational and technological reliability is developed. The technique presented in the article allows to improve the quality of management decisions, which in turn ensure compliance with comfortable and safe living conditions and efficient use of financial resources.

Abstract Since the economic development period in the 1960s and ’70s, old buildings were always considered unsuitable because of the risk of earthquakes or due to new social trends. But new construction finally dropped in the ’90s, and the birth rate also declined and the aging population grew instead. The number of vacant housing stocks have been more than doubled in Japan last 20 years, with 500,000 residences increased every year, and the issue of regeneration and reutilization of old buildings has become a focus. Yet it has not been easy to achieve successful outcomes because of many and complex impediments, interfere, such as legal, social, structural, economic, or tax-related reasons. In this study, through unraveling these complex impediments, effective countermeasures are organized and case examples of regenerated buildings that have overcome these barriers are introduced to clarify how each problem can be surmounted, and these regeneration procedures will be drawn in the shape of process planning that visualizes the steps of measures against each problem. There are five main problems: old housing plans against new social needs; degradation of building structure and materials against new building standards; old technical standards against new technologies; existing legally non-conforming buildings against ever-added new building laws; and old building reliability against possible economic value estimated. These five problems are used to clarify the regeneration procedure in order to propel and increase the fruitful utilization of this stock for the future.

Introduction. The transformation of the economic space of the regions based on digitalization and the use of intelligent technologies in the housing sector gives rise to aesthetic technical problems. When implementing spontaneous investment projects to improve the energy efficiency of the old housing stock of cities, including historical and cultural monuments, as well as buildings that form historical buildings, technical and aesthetic consequences arise. The aim of the article is to study the implemented investment projects to improve the energy efficiency of residential buildings on the adjacent territory of the border of the historical settlement of regional significance in the city of Kazan.
Materials and methods. Full-scale inspection, photographic recording of the results of implemented investment projects to improve the energy efficiency of multi-apartment residential buildings of the housing stock on the adjacent territory of the border of the historical settlement of the city of Kazan.
Results. As a result, a classification was drawn up of the types of interventions of the operating company, which significantly change the historical facades, change the single architectural and historical appearance of the street ensemble and generate negative externalities. Taking into account the prospects for growth in demand in the market for improving the energy efficiency of buildings of old housing stock, in order to maximize public welfare, it is proposed to consider the mechanism of state intervention to protect the architectural and historical environment of the city as a patronized good on the basis of state policy to create favorable conditions for the introduction of innovations in the housing sector in the form of institute of public guardianship.
Conclusions. The institute of public guardianship will allow to preserve the artistic architectural ensembles of the city throughout the life cycle, to fight against parasitic architecture, to obtain an economic effect: to ensure low energy consumption in residential buildings of the old housing stock of cities, an increase in the value of real estate and the profitability of investment projects for the restoration, reconstruction and reconstruction of buildings in the historical part cities.

Full textAbstract:
The main objectives of housing policy in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland are to increase the city’s density and to increase its total stock of affordable housing. In the current market, family housing for lower-priced mid-density intensification projects is typologically limited to two low-rise alternatives. These are terraced housing at the lower density ranges and small walk-up apartment blocks in the higher scales. From recent practice it is apparent that both typologies have reached their maximum possible site densities, and that further increases can only be gained at the cost of unacceptable residential standards. To diversify market options, this paper suggests that a third house-type, the mid-density courtyard, could be more widely used. Although a rarity in Aotearoa New Zealand’s cities, it is a house type well-suited to our climate, and it is characteristically private, secure, and buildable using standard practices in the housing industry. The paper argues that in a period of domestic price indicators rising but property price inflation showing signs of receding, architects and developers could consider an additional house-type: one that is widely used elsewhere and that has advantages in Aotearoa New Zealand’s culture of urban housing. Conclusions suggest that the courtyard house-type has not been sufficiently explored in mid-density developments and that more examples would prove the merits of this alternative.

Public housing advocates argue that the nation should expand the federal public housing program as part of an effort to increase the supply of affordable rental housing. This paper examines federal public housing construction in the largest US cities over the period 1937–1967, a period during which the public housing program was the primary program to provide low-income households with affordable rental housing. Public housing is found to depend upon the population level of the city, factors that characterize the housing stock as of 1950, the poverty level in the city, and the size of the nonwhite population in the city. The National Commission on Urban Problems (National commission on urban problems 1968, page 128) found that this supply response meant that “… the great need of the large central cities for housing for poor families was largely unmet.” Changes in racial segregation from 1940 to 1960 are found to be unrelated to public housing construction. While the current situation is different in many respects from circumstances of these earlier decades, a renewed effort to supply public housing might produce similar outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Consumption behaviour in the UK is frequently seen as different from that in other countries. The relationship between the housing market and consumption is discussed at length in HM Treasury (2003). The housing market, which has been particularly cyclically volatile in the past 30 years, has contributed to cycles in consumption through its impact on housing wealth. Increased house prices increase the value of assets held, and impact on consumption, making the economy more cyclical. There is a clear relationship between the level of real financial plus housing net wealth as a proportion of income and the savings ratio (excluding adjustment for changes in net equity of households in pension funds), as can be seen from chart 1, where we plot the stock of total net assets over the flow of income to indicate just how much ‘cover’ the personal sector has on its current commitments. When wealth rises, for instance because real asset prices have risen, then individuals find themselves with more assets than they need and increase their consumption in order to return their assets to their equilibrium ratio to income. Clearly this process is not instantaneous, but cycles in wealth driven by house prices could have contributed to the cyclical nature of overall demand in the UK in the past 30 years.

Subject. The article addresses housing conditions of the population of the Chechen Republic from 2002 to 2021. Objectives. The purpose is to assess trends in the real level of housing provision for the population of the region, the quantity and quality of housing and communal services provided, prospects for housing development, and to identify problems in housing development and their solutions. Methods. The study draws on comparative analysis, general scientific, economic-statistical methods of research. Results. During the period under review, housing problems in the Chechen Republic were solved successfully and consistently. We established the extent of increase in housing provision, the increase in the number of services provided and their coverage of housing stock of the Republic. The paper identifies existing problems and potential opportunities for their solution. Conclusions. The situation with housing conditions during the period of restoration work on the territory of the Chechen Republic improved dramatically. At the same time, during the period under study, the Chechen Republic occupied one of the last places in terms of housing provision among the subjects of the Russian Federation. It is necessary to substantiate and defend the required budgetary funds when communicating with the federal executive authorities and representatives of the federal budget for the housing conditions in the Republic in the foreseeable future to be not lower than the level of the social norm of living space per person.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the ways in which a rehousing intervention shapes the mental well-being of Inuit adults living in Nunavut, Canada, where the prevalence of core housing need is four times the national average. More specifically, it compares the housing experiences of participants who were rehoused in a newly built public housing unit, to the experiences of participants on the public housing waitlist. The study was developed in collaboration with organizations based in Nunavut and Nunavik. Semi-structured interviews were transcribed, and a deductive-inductive thematic analysis was performed based on Gidden’s concept of ontological security, and Inuit-specific mental health conceptualization. Twenty-five Inuit adults participated (11 rehoused, 14 waitlist). Three themes were identified to describe how the subjective housing experiences of participants improved their mental well-being after rehousing: (1) refuge creation; (2) self-determination and increased control; (3) improved family dynamics and identity repair. Implicit to these themes are the contrasting housing experiences of participants on the waitlist. Construction initiatives that increase public housing stock and address gaps in the housing continuum across Inuit regions could promote well-being at a population level. However, larger socio-economic problems facing Inuit may hamper beneficial processes stemming from such interventions.

This paper provides evidence on the external benefits of homeownership among low-income populations. A natural experiment in Israel generated large changes in neighborhood homeownership rates while holding fixed the residents and housing stock, two primary sources of bias in traditional estimates. When public housing tenants are given the opportunity to buy their units, buyers increase labor supply. Effects are felt in the neighborhood: when homeownership rises by 10 pp, neighborhood home prices rise 1.5–2 percent. Instrumenting for purchases using government discounts generates similar results. Results are relevant for policies using financial incentives to increase homeownership among low-income populations. (JEL H24, I38, J22, R21, R23, R31, R38)

Executive SummaryDiscussion of the UK's housing crisis is of long date, and tends to focus on a simple story about a mismatch in housing supply and demand and the consequent need to build more homes. Yet the reality is more complex with multiple sub-plots including social housing, stress in the private rented sector, benefits, subsidies and ultimately taxation of home ownership.At the bottom of the market, the crisis is real and acute, as manifested in a sharp increase in homelessness and rough sleeping. The inescapable answer is to increase the depleted stock of social housing and widen eligibility criteria. An increase of 100,000 social units a year in England would help address this problem, as well as alleviate the financial squeeze on tenants of the private rented sector, whose number has grown sharply in the past 15 years in tandem with a steep rise in the housing benefit bill. Recent efforts to curb housing benefit have further increased distress, so it will be necessary to consider increasing benefits again alongside regulatory interventions with private landlords.In the home ownership market, recent government intervention has taken the form of the much-criticised Help-to-Buy Equity Loan scheme. This market policy to support new-build homes should be wound down and replaced by a scheme to endow all young people with a capital sum that they could use for second-hand homes as well. More generally, a more sophisticated approach to planning home-building is needed, both for assessing overall numbers and their regional distribution and in financing the supporting infrastructure.But none of these measures is a panacea for a housing crisis that is in large part a symptom of problems in the wider economy, such as low relative wages for young people, a lack of clarity about environmental issues, and failing places. A successful policy package to address the distorted structure of the housing market must also grasp the most difficult nettle of all – namely the way the tax benefits of owner-occupation incentivise overconsumption of housing and a widening wealth gap between renters and home owners, and between owners in different parts of the country. If we spend more to help those who struggle to afford decent housing, then it is only just to raise more taxation from those who benefit from restrictions on housing supply – whether through reform to council tax, a wider wealth tax or a limited form of Capital Gains Tax on principal residences.

Full textAbstract:
With the improvement of social housing policies and an increase in the quantity of public housing stock, issues such as poor property management service, poor housing quality, and insufficient public services remain to be resolved. This study focuses on the human settlement environments of public housing communities in Guangzhou and establishes an evaluation system containing built environments and housing environments satisfaction criteria. In our analysis, the evaluation system was modified using data collected from surveys through factor analysis, which reduced dimensions to the indoor environment, the community environment, and social relations. Moreover, multivariable regression analysis was performed to identify the differences of needs among residents with different living environments and family backgrounds. The result shows that housing area, transportation resources, and public services have met the basic needs of residents who were generally satisfied with the community environment of their public housing. However, acoustic insulation and community amenities in the city were found to be relatively poor and still have space for improvement. Further, requirements on indoor housing environments and social relations of residents living alone need more attention. Specific recommendations based on this study can be used as a reference for future public housing construction and improvements.

Full textAbstract:
The incessant outflow of population to the western regions of the country threatens the fulfillment of the tasks of socio-economic development of the Khabarovsk territory. Affordability of housing is one of the main factors for securing the population in the region. Therefore, for the Khabarovsk Territory, solving the problem of affordability of housing is of particular importance. The level of provision of the population with housing and its availability for acquisition of ownership are indicators of the level of well-being of the population, its social security and investment activity. The article presents various approaches to the definition of the concept of «housing affordability». Analysis of the state of housing stock and provision of housing for the population of the Khabarovsk territory is made. The assessment of housing affordability for population was carried out using the housing affordability coefficients calculated using two methods. The results of implementation of the national project «Housing and the urban environment» and the state program «Development of housing construction in the Khabarovsk territory» are considered. It has been established that not all planned indicators of the state program in 2018-2020 have been achieved. In conditions of limited supply and failure to fulfill plans for the volume of housing commissioning, the increase in demand for housing in the primary market, caused by implementation of the Far-Eastern mortgage program, led to a significant increase in housing prices. The growth rates of housing prices outstrip the growth rates of both average wages and average per capita money incomes of the population. Therefore, a significant part of the region's population is experiencing serious difficulties in acquiring housing. To solve the identified problems, it is necessary to develop additional measures both at the federal and regional levels. Recommendations are given to improve the housing affordability in the Khabarovsk territory.

It has been studied the issue of technology and economic efficiency of housing different sex, age and production groups of pigs in summer camps; to give the features of housing lactating and single sows, repair and fattening pigs in the camps; to study the expediency of combining camp maintenance with the pasture; to develop equipment that will improve the technology of summer camp housing pigs. Experimental studies on the development of technological elements of summer camp housing pigs and determining its benefits were conducted in the farms of Poltava and Myrhorod districts of Poltava region on the live-stock of pigs of the Large White and Myrhorod breeds. The camps of simpler design with shadow canopies were equipped for the group housing of other age and production groups of pigs. It has been determined the cost of green mass and concentrated feed per head, the average daily gain of animals, their safety, time spent on the production of one quintal of live weight, as well as took into account the load per operator, in an innovative plan it has been developed the detachment (Fig. 1) for grazing pigs, which provides the preimaginal principle of pasture use and gentle vegetation. In the course of research the generally accepted zootechnical and economic indexes were studied. Regular motion, sun, clean air - this is a set of healing natural factors that have allowed to grow strong and healthy piglets, capable of high growth rate in their further rearing for reproductive and fattening purposes. The camp housing helped to increase the reproductive function of the maternal live-stock. The productivity of young animals also increased significantly with a significant reduction in their deaths. The live weight of piglets at weaning increased by two kilograms compared to those indoors ones. Net profit from pork sales amounted to 17.6% of total net profit from livestock. We also developed in co-authorship a detachment for grazing pigs, which prevents damage to the sod layer of the pasture, reduces material consumption, labor costs for the movement of the detachment on the pasture. So, camp and pasture maintenance in the experimental conditions had a positive effect on the economic efficiency of pig breeding in the whole enterprise, as well as increased the reproductive characteristics of the breeding stock. The use of green and succulent feeds, up to 35 percent in nutritional value, significantly improved the taste qualities and biological value of the diet of pigs. Key words: pigs, summer camp pasture maintenance, pasture, green conveyor, natural factors, animal resilience, mobile detachment.

This paper offers an explanation for the existence of price control on new houses in Korea, which is deemed both inefficient and inequitable. This phenomenon cannot be explained by the conventional model of rent seeking or the capture theory of regulation. Instead, it is attributable to the popular belief that the removal of the price regulation will lead to the increase in the overall housing price by increasing the demand for existing houses that are a perfect substitute for new houses. However, the paper, using a stock-adjustment model of the housing market, demonstrates that the claimed outcome cannot materialize under perfect foresight or adaptive expectation. The outcome is possible in the short run under a peculiar expectation scheme of a self-fulfilling nature. But even in this case, the price increase will be a one-time event and in the long-run overall housing prices will fall below the level that would prevail if the price regulations were maintained.

The purpose of the study is to justify the use of such a mechanism to improve the efficiency of enterprises as outsourcing, taking into account the specifics of the housing and communal services industry. The relevance is dictated by the fact that some activities are too burdensome and expensive for companies, so managers decide to use the services of contractors. Outsourcing has become an integral part of modern housing and communal services. The authors summarized the foreign experience of reforming housing and communal services and formed proposals for the implementation of outsourcing. Foreign experience of reforming of housing and communal services and the principles of management of housing stock of such countries as Germany, Poland, Great Britain, and France is analyzed. According to the carried-out analysis, some recommendations concerning the increase in the role of bodies of self-organization of the population in management of this sphere and ensuring improvement of quality of granting housing and communal services to the population are offered in the article. Advantages of the use of outsourcing in the activity of utility companies are revealed. The results of the study may be of interest to management companies in the field of housing and communal services.

Full textAbstract:
As the existing housing stock ages throughout Europe, retrofitting offers many opportunities for the substantial improvement of the energy performance of residential buildings and the provision of sustainable alternatives to conventional heating and cooling. The effect of global warming is leading to a widespread use of air conditioning in existing and new residential buildings. This potentially implies an increase in cooling energy and adverse environmental effects on an unprecedented scale. In the hot and dry climate of many south European cities, this could be avoided with the use of an innovative wall integrated passive evaporative cooling system, which harnesses air, water and porous ceramic to provide comfortable indoor conditions. Dr Rosa Schiano-Phan discusses the applicability of such a system to the urban context of Seville in the light of the current Spanish regulatory framework and recent developments of European energy performance standards.

The development of the construction industry, conducting construction in accordance with standard projects, and transforming the construction materials industry in hard-to-reach and sparsely populated areas will make significant progress in solving the housing problem. Industrialization of housing construction is a catalyst for strong growth of the region’s economy and the quality of life of citizens. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of industrialization of the territory’s construction complex and its development potential for increasing the volume of low-rise housing stock. Research tasks: 1) assessment of the need to develop housing construction, including low-rise housing, on a particular territory; 2) development of a methodology for calculating the level of industrialization of construction in the area under consideration to determine the possibility of developing low-rise housing construction in this area in the proposed way; 3) approbation of the method using the example of rural areas of the Arkhangelsk region. It was revealed that the districts of the Arkhangelsk region have medium and low levels of industrialization. The districts that are most in need of an increase in the rate of housing construction have been identified. Recommendations for the development of the construction industry in certain areas have been developed.

This paper investigates the effect of the current recession on the retirement age population. Data from the Health and Retirement Study suggest that those approaching retirement age (early boomers ages 53 to 58 in 2006) have only 15.2 percent of their wealth in stocks, held directly or in defined contribution plans or IRAs. Their vulnerability to a stock market decline is limited by the high value of their Social Security wealth, which represents over a quarter of the total household wealth of the early boomers. In addition, their defined contribution plans remain immature, so their defined benefit plans represent sixty five percent of their pension wealth. Simulations with a structural retirement model suggest the stock market decline will lead the early boomers to postpone their retirement by only 1.5 months on average. Health and Retirement Study data also show that those approaching retirement are not likely to be greatly or immediately affected by the decline in housing prices. We end with a discussion of important difficulties facing those who would use labor market policies to increase the employment of older workers.

The article analyzes the economic model of the functioning of the sphere of housing and communal services in the Russian Federation. The authors substantiate the need to ensure the financial security of housing and communal services by improving the economic model, in accordance with which budgets are formed, distributed, planned by the residents themselves, in the direction of attracting insurance compensation funds. This will ensure the "survivability" of the housing stock and will allow time for the return (collection) of debt funds, make debt repayment smooth and without creating additional financial burdens on residents. The new economic model in the Russian housing and communal services sector includes a full cycle of budget execution and control: lending, construction, commissioning, approval and implementation of fixed tariffs for housing and communal services, priority distribution of “Social housing”, control over the implementation of the program, the prospect of transferring social housing to tenants from hiring into ownership, concessional financing from the budget fund. The authors concluded that the introduction and development of the "Social Housing" program will contribute to the implementation of the import substitution strategy, the return of people to factories and factories, the development of industry, the increase in motivation and the expansion of "social guarantees", the formation of a sense of stability among citizens, and the reduction of conflict in society.

Abstract The functional and architectural obsolescence of the post-war multi-family housing stock, and high energy consumption of the buildings, are characteristics that require complex and integrated renovation. The research problem is the high energy consumption for heating the existing multi-family residential buildings built in the period 1946-1970. Those buildings are one quarter of the total multifamily housing stock of Serbia. The approach of renovating existing buildings by adding exoskeletons has its functional advantages that set it apart as one of the more significant approaches to complex building renovation. The subject of the research includes the analysis of the application of the exoskeleton addition strategy to existing multi-family buildings in order to achieve high energy efficiency of buildings and increase the space of residential units, and improve vertical communications of buildings. The aim of the research is to examine the advantages of the approach to integrated improvement of existing building by applying the strategy of exoskeleton addition, which includes energy, spatial and functional improvement of the existing building. The paper will define the methodological procedure of exoskeleton application from the initial idea, identification of the research problem, strategy of its application, to the results that can be achieved by such a procedure.

The purpose of the article was to study changes in living conditions in megapolises as they grow, identify negative social consequences and develop recommendations for overcoming them. Methods of retrospective analysis, logical and comparative analysis, generalizations, methods of descriptive statistics, index, graphic, methods for assessing the improvement of the housing stock of megacities, the demographic capacity of the city were used. The analysis of changes in living conditions in Kazakhstan’s megacities as they grow is carried out. The social consequences of the growth of megacities are revealed: a decrease in the standard of living of residents of the southern capital; an increase in demand for housing and its higher cost; a decrease in the level of well-being in Almaty; poor environmental conditions, an increase in atmospheric pollution in conditions of high population density; a higher level of mortality of the urban population compared to the rural population during the pandemic; an increase in destructive behavior of young people. Recommendations are given to overcome the negative social consequences of uncontrolled urbanization. The necessity of developing a Strategy for the development of Kazakhstani cities is substantiated. Measures are recommended: to solve the problem of affordable housing for young families, specialists, orphans; to create jobs, modernize transport, communal and social infrastructure, to foster patriotism and social responsibility.

This study aims to examine the feasibility of financing the provision of public housing with National Housing and Urban Fund in Korea, in order to increase the ratio of public rental housing to the level of 9% of the total housing stock which is the EU average. Total 27 scenarios from 1) three proportions of investment and loan of 20% and 40%, 20% and 60%, and 20% and 75%, 2) three rates of reduction of the fund to support to the projects other than public housing in the fund, and 3) three additional transfers of capital gain tax to the fund are used in simulation analyses. In the analyses to provide total 1.11 million housing units from 2022 to 2028, it was found that the fund can cover the total cost of the plan in the case of 20% and 40% proportion of investment and loan from the fund. In case of 20% and 60% proportion of investment and loan from the fund, the fund also can cover the total cost when the reduction rate is 5 or 10%. In other cases, a transfer of 2~34% of capital gain tax property pro rata to the fund makes the plan feasible. Despite various assumptions and operational scenarios this attempt can provide useful information about the financing of public housing that is the most critical issue in increasing them.

Design/methodology/approach The review is based on an investigation of the current state of preparedness of the housing market and its various stakeholders based on recent reports and secondary statistical evidence. Findings The findings emphasise the need for a multi-faceted approach to tackle the challenges that need to be addressed. Unless measures are initiated to influence the market, the requisite increase in the stock of appropriate housing in the face of rapid demographic change will not occur. Originality/value The value of the study is that it identifies the issues based on the current state of provision and makes recommendations for meeting the challenges arising from these issues. These recommendations have strong implications for policymakers and other stakeholders.

A “community of knowledge” of representatives of the housing sector in the Netherlands investigated the impact of the behaviour of residents in sustainable housing, both newly constructed and renovated stock. For this, grey scientific data were used, i.e., data and reports from non-university agencies reflecting research commissioned by civil society NGOs and commercial enterprises. The aim was to find perspectives for action (practical “rules of thumb”) to increase the impact of sustainable housing on CO<sub>2</sub> reduction and facilitate the implementation of the Dutch national sustainability program. First, a conceptual framework and research model were created to generate the relevant research questions for the sustainable construction sector. An innovative research approach was used where data from academic non-university researchers were enriched by university academic researchers. Experiences with the methodology used are: (a) It implicitly places the many factors that influence sustainable resident behaviour in context; and (b) it makes clear that data from such research can complement university research with useful data from practice, data that are scientifically difficult to use because they are mostly derived from stand-alone case studies. The perspectives for action that were generated are: (a) Sustainable technologies must add new useful functionalities for acceptance; (b) sustainable supply must be tailor-made because households differ and tenants behave differently from homeowners; (c) decision-making about sustainable investments is not only based on financial factors; (d) residents are reluctant to become involved, so it is important that (e) the people representing contractors should be reliable; and (f) people want personalised plans and on-time delivery. Finally, the collected reports turned out to be focused on practice and therefore provided less theoretical information about the rebound effect.

The issue of energy retrofitting of existing building stock occupies an increasingly prominent place in energy transition strategies in Europe. Adopting models representing the building stock and accounting for occupancy influence on final housing energy use must be developed to advise new policies. In this respect, this study aims to characterize the Walloon residential building stock and to analyze the existing correlations between the stock’s technical data and its occupants’ socioeconomic data. This study uses existing databases on buildings and inhabitants in Wallonia. Several statistical analyses make it possible to highlight the preponderant criteria and existing correlations between these different criteria. This study affirms the importance of accounting for certain socioeconomic categories, such as low-income groups, in a global strategic reflection on energy renovation. Multiple linear regression shows us that each percent increase in the category of households that declare between 10,000–20.000 EUR of income per year corresponds to an increase of 7.22 kWh/m2·y in the average energy efficiency of the built stock. The results highlight the importance of focusing on renovation strategies for particular types of buildings, such as semi-detached houses, which combine unfavorable technical and socioeconomic factors. Thus, the results confirm the interest of a mixed model approach to adapt to effective renovation policy strategies.
