This thesis examines the idea of conjunctive housing as a viable alternative for habitation within the urban context. It traces the historical origins of housing in conjunctive use with other functions. Various examples of this type of housing are cited extending from its beginnings during the classical era right up to the twentieth century.The study of the mixed land use concept in urban areas calls for a more comprehensive analysis of the validity of conjunctive housing as an alternative to the ever increasing suburbanization. This idea transcends the notion of landuse efficiency, and underscores the importance of promoting inner-city living.
Conjunctive housing represents a time-tested approach which deviates from various other conventional housing patterns. An exhibit of several types of mixed-use establishments is provided, together with a probe into its generic forms which demonstrate the numerous planning options. This thesis is an attempt to reiterate the concept of conjunctive housing, especially in response to the contemporary trend of urban living, as a viable solution for housing urbanites, a concept which may even prove to promote a socially superior mode of urban lifestyle.

Zhao, Zhejin. "Three essays on housing markets and housing policies." Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSES033/document.

Cette thèse contient trois essais empiriques sur les marchés du logement et les politiques de logement. Dans le premier essai, nous étudions les effets du contrôle des loyers sur les loyers en utilisant des données historiques de panel sur une période de 78 ans à Lyon. Nous utilisons des régressions multiples avec des effets fixes comme principale forme d’analyse. Nos résultats montrent que l’effet causal du contrôle des loyers sur les loyers à Lyon est significativement négatif. Dans le deuxième essai, j’étudie l’influence de l’âge du chef de famille sur la demande de logements grâce à des données sur les ménages en Chine. Le modèle de prix hédonique en deux étapes, utilisé dans cet essai, me permet d’estimer l’effet de l’âge du chef de famille sur la demande de logements, en contrôlant la qualité du logement et les caractéristiques des autres ménages. Les résultats montrent que la disposition à payer, à qualité constante de la maison, diminue légèrement ou reste constante lorsque le chef de famille vieillit, une fois contrôlé le niveau d’instruction du chef de famille. En revanche, il diminue rapidement si le niveau d’instruction du chef de famille n’est pas contrôlé. Par conséquent, cet essai conclut que la demande totale de logements ne devrait pas diminuer avec le vieillissement de la population, parce que la génération actuelle est plus éduquée que la précédente. Enfin, dans le troisième essai, dans le cadre du modèle de Rosen-Roback, j’analyse l’impact des coûts du logement sur le ratio d’intensité des compétences (SIR), dans différentes villes chinoises. Pour éviter les problèmes d’endogénéité, j’utilise à la fois la part des terrains non disponibles et les prix des logements historiques comme instruments des prix actuels du logement. Les résultats montrent que les prix moyens des logements ont des effets positifs significatifs sur le SIR en 2010 lorsque la mobilité des travailleurs est assouplie, mais que les effets sont non significatifs sur le SIR en 2000 lorsque la mobilité des travailleurs était étroitement réglementéeThis thesis contains three empirical essays on housing markets and housing policies. In the first essay, we investigate the effects of rent control on rents using historical panel data in Lyon over a 78-year period. We use multiple regressions with fixed effects as the main form of analysis. Our results show that the causal effect of rent control on rents in Lyon is significantly negative. In the second essay, I study how age influences housing demand based on household level data from China. The two-stage hedonic house price model used in this essay allows me to estimate the pure age effect on housing demand, after housing quality and other household’s characteristics are controlled for. The results demonstrate that the willingness-to-pay for a constant-quality house will decrease slightly or keep constant when a representative household head becomes old, if the household head’s educational attainment is controlled for. In contrast, it will drop rapidly if the household head’s educational attainment is not controlled for. Therefore, this essay concludes that the total housing demand will not decrease with population aging, because the current middle- aged generation get educated more than the current old generation. Finally, in the third essay, in the framework of Rosen-Roback model, I analyze how housing costs affect the ratio of high-skilled to low-skilled workers, explicitly the skill intensity ratio (SIR), across cities in China. To avoid endogeneity issues, I use both share of unavailable land and historical housing prices as instruments of current housing prices. The results show that average housing prices have significant positive effects on the SIR in 2010 when workers’ mobility is relaxed, but insignificant effects on the SIR in 2000 when workers’ mobility was tightly regulated

Sub-Saharan Africa has been experiencing phenomenal population growth since the beginning of the 20th Century, following several centuries of population stagnation attributable to the slave trade and colonization. The region's population in fact increased from 100 million in 1900 to 770 million in 2005. The latest United Nations projections, published in March 2007, envisaged a figure of 1.5 to 2 billion inhabitants being reached between the present and 2050 (CEPED, 2008). The growth in population poses a lot of challenges for Governments of these countries, not the least is housing the masses. Some governments have explored industrialized building systems (IBS) -- PREFAB HOUSES to address the housing shortage. The social and economic factors in these countries have impeded the success of these housing initiatives. In 1952 the then Gold Coast government explored the possibility of employing industrialized Building Systems (IBS) -- PREFAB HOUSES to relieve the housing shortage in the country, then a British colony. The government engaged Messrs. N. V. Schokbeton of Kampen, Holland as consultant of the project and producers of the Prefab houses. The program was abandoned on the recommendation of the United Nations Technical Assistance Mission on Housing to Ghana. This essence of this paper is to reviews the UN report to the government of Gold Coast to learn why the project failed and what might be done to make such a project successful in the 21st century . This paper uses case studies to show countries that have successfully and unsuccessfully employed Industrialized Building Systems (IBS) -- PREFAB HOUSES to address housing shortage. Finally, this paper employs a survey to gauge the interest - the willingness of the middle income Ghanaian to adopt prefab houses as dwelling units.

The higher demand of higher-density housing in Bangkok due to the rapid growth of the economy and the use of high-performance materials and modern construction methods has changed the forms of housing from low-rise buildings to multistorey apartments. During the last two decades, people in Bangkok have faced problems of living in high-density housing and lack of open space, which limit the quality of living space. Providing better quality of living space above ground must therefore be considered. Terrace housing, that is multi-story housing with open spaces on each level, is a building type which has the advantage of providing the qualities of private open spaces to each unit of building. Terrace building types have been a popular solution to modern housing design for quality in multi-story aj-jartment buildings. There is a great variety of this building type: roof top, hillside, on ground free standing terrace, vertical stack, courtyard terrace, artificial hill terrace and cluster terrace. The main purpose is to provide compensation of living quality on the ground to individual units and common area in the air. Terrace buildings also respond well to their environment. However, terrace buildings require many special architectural and technical considerations. A study of this building type will help to clarify the design and technical considerations of terrace housing design and provide design alternatives for better living conditions city. The work deals with terrace houses on flat sites in the city of Bangkok on two main contextual levels. 1. General level; Guidelines for off-ground terrace buildings are described by means of the specific components of the building types which are generated by internal requirements and external conditions (such as spatial requirements, climates and urban contexts ). 2. Specific Level; This level is based on practical considerations of the process of representing a terrace building. Prototypical forms of terrace housing will be matched with quality of housing and technological systems. The results provide suggestions for the design of this building type and a selected design alternative.

Conflicts bring deaths and disabilities, population displacements, destruction of properties and changes to societies. Conflicts also devastate the economy, health, education and institutions. Within this context post conflict reconstruction contributes to overcome the legacies of conflict through reconstructing the enabling conditions for a functioning peacetime society. Post conflict reconstruction involves a wide range of interventions needed to reactivate the development process that has been disrupted by the conflict. With regard to the post conflict interventions, post conflict housing reconstruction plays a vital role in establishing the development and peace in conflict affected countries. Despite its importance, the success of post conflict housing reconstruction is hindered by a number of problems such as lack of community participation, lack of strategies to address the challenges faced by vulnerable people, lack of consideration of local and cultural conditions, lack of consideration of socio-economic conditions of affected people, poor technical oversight and a lack of security of land tenure. Consequently these problems have caused dissatisfaction resulting in some people to remodel or abandon the houses. Furthermore, it has been revealed that the lack of consideration of housing needs in post conflict housing reconstruction has directly or indirectly given rise to most of these issues. Therefore addressing these needs would contribute to minimising the issues of post conflict housing reconstruction and adequate housing measures provide guidelines in such situations in addressing housing needs in post conflict housing reconstruction. However, the countries emerging from conflicts have different characteristics that add a different dimension to post conflict housing reconstruction. Accordingly, addressing housing needs cannot be considered in isolation without considering the challenges pose by the characteristics of the post conflict setting. In this context, there is a need to understand how these particular housing needs can be effectively addressed. Accordingly, this study addresses this eminent need by exploring how can the housing needs be effectively managed in post conflict housing reconstruction. As Sri Lanka’s long lasting conflict came to an end in 2009 leaving a legacy of immense damage to housing, post conflict housing reconstruction remains prominent within post conflict interventions in the country. Accordingly, Sri Lanka provides a sound basis for this study and hence the study is centred on it. Ontological and epistemological positions of this study led to subjectivism and interpretivism respectively. Grounded theory approach was used as the research strategy. While unstructured interviews were used as the primary data collection technique, interviews were supplemented by creative visual images. Interviews were also verified through a documents review. Grounded theory data analysis procedure was used to analyse the unstructured interviews. The study reveals the challenges, contributing factors and strategies in addressing housing needs in post conflict housing reconstruction. It also identifies the gaps in managing housing needs and recommendations to minimise such gaps in managing housing needs in post conflict housing reconstruction. Furthermore, the study develops a theoretical framework that presents the associated challenges, contributing factors, strategies, gaps and recommendations to minimise such gaps in managing accessibility, habitability, affordability, location, facilities, cultural consideration and security of land tenure in post conflict housing reconstruction. Key words: Conflict, Post conflict, Post conflict reconstruction, Post conflict housing reconstruction, Housing needs and Managing housing needs.

Housing shortage is sweeping over Nordic countries, where college/university students has involved in this housing crisis. More innovative housing solutions are appealed to buffer housing shortage and supply affordable housing for students. The existence of module housing and container housing in a number of Nordic municipalities has come into being a new housing term: temporary housing. At the same time, students’ housing expenditure has influence on their financial strain, and students’ housing location affects student involvement on campus. The design of temporary housing aims to cope with housing shortage. This study intends to figure out an ideal temporary housing with a great rent in order to alleviate students’ financial strain, a good location so as to enhance the level of student involvement, and a satisfactory housing type for purpose of meeting students’ housing preference. To understand students’ view of temporary housing, Cockerham’s theory of health and lifestyle is applied to develop “living condition” in student group. A self-administered questionnaire in quantitative research is conducted, and with a case study element as well. The survey groups centers on college/university students so that this study is following a down-up perspective. Finally, based on students’ feelings and opinion, an ideal temporary housing is depicted as a new product in student housing. This ideal temporary housing is discussed in relation to variables, such as an acceptable rent, good housing location and pleasant housing type.

People age 55 and over will dramatically increase in the next 25 years, and will comprise approximately 30% of the total population. They may want to maintain their current lifestyle, and at the same time, they will experience changes of their lifecycle stage that could affect their housing choices. Even though single-family, detached housing is the most dominant housing type in the U.S., a significant number of older adults could choose to live in multifamily housing if their motivations and background are understood. The choice to live in multifamily housing by adultsâ in their later life may be influenced by their past experiences living in multifamily housing, and by their current satisfaction with multifamily housing living.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the past, current, and future housing behavior of residents 55 and older living in multifamily housing. The research framework for this study was developed based on Morris and Winterâ s (1975, 1978) theory of housing adjustment and Wisemanâ s (1980) model of elderly migration. The research framework was comprised of five major sections: (a) Current Demographic Characteristics, (b) Previous Demographic Characteristics, (c) Reasons for Moving into Current housing, (d) Residential Satisfaction, and (e) Intention to Move in the Future. Five major hypotheses were tested.
This study was designed as a quantitative study, using a self-administered questionnaire administered by an online survey company. Between February 2, 2012 and February 4, 2012, a total of 431 usable surveys for this study were collected. Several statistical methods were employed: descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Pearsonâ s correlation, crosstabs, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and structural equation model (SEM).
From EFA, three major reasons for moving into current housing (the multifamily living reason, the nearby activities reason, and the financial reason), and three residential satisfaction factors (satisfaction with the unit design, the multifamily community, and the location) were derived.
Multifamily living reason significantly positively influenced satisfaction with the unit design, the multifamily community, and the location. There was a significant influence of the nearby activities reason only on satisfaction with the location. Financial reason significantly negatively influenced satisfaction with the unit design, the multifamily community, and the location. Satisfaction with the unit design and the multifamily community significantly negatively related to the intention to move.
The findings from this study can help older adults and their advisors to better understand the housing decision-making process in later life, and inform the housing industry about the perceived potential benefits and challenges in developing multifamily housing for older adults.Ph. D.

While the economic implications of housing have been examined extensively, surprisingly limited attention has been devoted to how the housing market impacts politics. My dissertation is a three paper compilation that addresses the relationship between housing and politics. Taken together, this dissertation traces through the ways in which housing plays a role in American political life, from preference formation to concrete participatory outcomes such as voting and writing to legislators.
In my first paper, Unemployment Shocks, Housing Wealth and Political Preferences, I demonstrate that housing has micro-economic implications for the way people smooth over income shocks. I find that people in counties which experience an unexpected unemployment shock finance that shock using mortgage loans, and that there is a life-cycle aspect to such financing. I also find that people perceive social insurance and home equity as substitutes, but only when access to home equity is relatively high.
My second paper, Lending Support: Agency MBS Issuance and Rewarding Incumbents, examines how a shock to housing wealth affects electoral outcomes. I demonstrate that after experiencing a large increase in mortgage credit post-2000, low-income counties were more likely to support their incumbents. This effect principally pertains to Democratic incumbents, who were particularly vocal in advocating for the maintenance of these loosened credit conditions, and used these conditions to claim credit for providing access to housing in poorer counties.
Finally, my third paper, Local Economic Information, Foreclosure and Political Attitudes, delves into the cognitive role that housing plays in making individual political behavioral decisions. I find that reading about or seeing a photo of a foreclosed house makes respondents more likely to send a strongly worded letter to their Member of Congress, whereas seeing a photo of a foreclosed house is about twice as likely to make respondents express interest in engaging with their local community. I also find that seeing a photo of a foreclosure and reading about foreclosures serve as almost perfect substitutes.Government

The Building is a combination of a green house and multi familyhousing building. The building´s courtyard is transformed in to a winter garden and creates an climate controlled environment with exotic vegitation blooming all year around. The courtyard is working as an extra livingroom with nice public walks in different levels were people can relax, exercise and socialise. The heat generated from the winter garden can be reused and recycled in to the floor slabs. It can also be deposited into the ground under the garden creating a climate smart heating system. One important aspect when drawing the plans was to give all the apartments a private space inside the wintergarden. I created plans where the allocation of the garden is equal. the private space is located on the second floor in the duplex apartments but some apartments only consist of one level and some extra care went in to making a private space for them too. The winter garden not only allows people to watch the trees and plants it also gives them the possibility to grow there own food on the private balcony and just outside the kitchen window. Having plants outside the kitchen blocks the view from people passing by on the public promenade.Byggnaden är en kombination av ett växthus och ett flerbostadshus. Byggnadens innergår har ett glastak som som möjliggör ett controllerat climat med växter som blommar året runt. innergården fungerar som ett extra vardagsrum med trevliga promenader i olika nivåer där människor kan träna, socialisera eller bara slapna av och njuta naturen. Värmen som genereras av den inglasade gården kan återanvändas och pupmas in i bjälklagen och marken under gården vilket skapar ett klimatsmart uppvärmningssystem. en viktig aspekt när jag ritade planerna var att ge alla lägenheter ett privat rum inne i gården. Jag skapade planer där anspråket av gården var så lika som möjligt. Det privata rummet är placerat på övervåningen i etage lägenheterna men några lägenheter har bara ett plan vilket ledde till några special lösningar för att skapa ett avgränsat rum för dem också. Den ingalsade gården erbjuder inte bara en vacker miljö med växter och träd, det finns även möjlighet att odla sia egna frukter och grönsaker på den privata balkongen samt utanför köksfönstret. Planteringen av högre växter utanför fönstret kan skydda insynen från grannar som går förbi på den publika prommenaden.

As described in Christian Norberg-Schulz’s Genius Loci: Towards a Phenomenology of Architecture, urban architecture requires a clear division between public and private. In this case, a desire for privacy when living so closely together inspires the idea to articulate the places of the private realm. Furthermore, such tight places need strict rules to guide the design. The rules of design employed have established a pattern both harmonious and practical; economical, yet relative. This pattern of place allows not only the sections of the design to relate to the whole, but the details relate to the sections, the sections to the unit and the unit to the whole. Finally, if the rules governing the design of one unit type are valid, that matrix can drive the design of similar units.Master of Architecture

My thesis project investigates the potential behind the integration of agricultural practices and living spaces. Combining advanced urban farming methods embedded in a residential context allows for the symbiosis of a typically urban lifestyle with highly efficient food production. The use ol building materials fully derived from renewable sources aims to apply concepts of circular economy in order to find an effective solution to the currently unsustainable building industry, still oriented towards traditional materials.

The problems of differential access to housing in rural Britain are widely recognised. Within rural Scotland rising levels of recorded homelessness and council house waiting lists are testimony to increasingly restricted access to housing. However, a continuing emphasis on the urban context within housing and related social science research has resulted in a lack of understanding of how rural communities, and indeed individuals, negotiate and experience the changing housing system. This thesis explores the issue of access to housing in rural Scotland. While accepting that there have been significant developments in the study of access to housing, these have, primarily, focused on urban housing. Furthermore, given the small size and dispersion of many of Scotland's rural communities, it is suggested that the "traditional" large scale social survey or examination of housing statistics does not provide sufficiently detailed information to allow understanding of access to ho using in the rural context. Rather it is advocated that a qualitative methodology is more appropriate. Access to housing is, therefore, examined from the perspective of the individual household. The primary method of investigation is the reconstruction and analysis of the housing histories of individuals who completed their secondary education in 1975 in three rural districts of Scotland, that is, Argyll and Bute, Skye and Lochalsh and Tweeddale, to allow detailed understanding of the influences on individuals' housing experiences and outcomes. The housing histories are considered in the light of information derived from alternative data sources such as housing plans and interviews with housing practitioners. It is concluded that housing histories reflect complex interactions of temporal and spatial factors including the availability of housing, previous housing experiences, employment and income, and personal desires and perceptions. It is argued, however, that the individual experience of housing cannot be divorced from its wider setting. Individual housing experiences are part of the changing nature of housing at a variety of different levels. Furthermore, it is suggested that housing histories are intrinsically geographic in nature and that the housing history methodology can provide important contributions to both housing studies and rural geography.

The main objective of this thesis has been to examine socio-cultural and architectural aspects that influence student housing satisfaction.
The study applies case study methodology with focus on three selected student housing projects in Norway and a survey conducted among the student population in Trondheim. Students in the three case-study buildings were interviewed on how they perceive their specific housing situation. The survey reviewed housing preference and satisfaction on a general level, and tested also differences in satisfaction between institutionally provided accommodation and other types of student housing.
Three articles (Part II) constitute the empirical section of the thesis, while part I presents the theoretical background and describes the methodology applied. Moreover, findings from all three articles are summarised, discussed and compared here. From these findings, conclusions and implications for future research are drawn.
The findings show that important general indicators for student housing satisfaction were the location and the type of tenancy. Further that the possibility for identity building through personalisation and sufficient privacy and social life also played a vital role together with the perceived degree of an institutional character.
Architectural aspects that the students found important for housing satisfaction and for a home experience were the buildings exterior and the use of materials and colours, in addition to the spatial organisation of circulation areas and entrances. The usability of common facilities and private rooms, and their interconnection were also regarded as important in this context.

Given the increasing importance of affordability in housing policy reform debates, this study develops a new composite approach to measuring housing affordability and employs it to examine the nature of urban housing affordability in Nigeria. The data used in this study are based on the Nigerian Living Standards Survey 2003-2004. The aggregate housing affordability model developed here measures housing affordability problems more accurately and classifies the housing affordability status of households more appropriately than the conventional affordability models. Findings show very high levels of housing affordability problems in Nigeria with about 3 out of every 5 urban households experiencing such difficulties. There are also significant housing affordability differences between socio-economic groups, housing tenure groups and states in Nigeria. The current national housing policy that de-emphasises government involvement in housing provision does not allow the country’s full potential for tackling its serious affordability problems to be realised and, hence, the laudable ‘housing for all’ goal of the policy has remained elusive. Nigerian socio-economic realities demand far more vigorous government involvement in housing development, working with a more committed private sector, energised civil societies and empowered communities to tackle the enormous housing problems of the country

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2001.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 51-54).
As housing and rent prices continue to rise in cities in the United States, it is becoming increasingly difficult for very low-income households to find decent affordable housing. Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), who are the main providers of housing opportunities to this population, are limited in their capacity to develop more housing units or provide more housing choices. With the elimination of the public housing development fund, and the government restrictions on their subsidy programs, PHAs can do little to address the housing issues. This paper explores a two-vehicle model as a conceptual framework for high-performing PHAs to increase the supply of affordable housing in their communities. The first vehicle is the creation of a nonprofit affiliate, which allows PHAs to act more like private developers. The second vehicle is participation in the Moving to Work Demonstration Program (MTW), which deregulates the PHAs' subsidy programs. The Cambridge Housing Authority's (Massachusetts) successful use of the two-vehicle model is examined.

This study examines some of the impacts of engagement by housing policy on housing associations in Wales. The research concentrates on: housing associations as voluntary housing organizations operating within the Wales voluntary sector; and, the relevance of policy implementation by Wales-national policy institutions for associations acting in this capacity. A background is developed through discussion of accounts of the voluntary sector that provide an insight into: definitional criteria and structural/operational norms for non-profit enterprise; the sector's societal function(s); operational frameworks (i.e. relevant to legal form, regulation, funding and accountability); and weaknesses that arise through the non-profit sector's reliance on government funding. In addition this study discusses aspects of the Wales voluntary sector distinct from the sector in the United Kingdom as a whole. An account is provided of the Wales voluntary sector and its role in public policy implementation, and the statutory framework supporting the sector's operation at Wales-national level. To establish a context for discussing housing associations in Wales there is a review of housing policy, focusing on the period post 1960, including a review of policy implementation in Wales. The primary research for this study is carried out on policy documents relevant to housing policy toward housing associations post 1989 (to include documents published by Tai Cymru as well as the National Assembly for Wales), and by a survey conducted on housing associations and local authorities. The findings from the survey provide insights into the relevance of housing policy and policy engagement on attitudes amongst relevant stakeholders toward housing association status within the Wales-voluntary sector, their role or roles, issues of accountability, and, the influence of Tai Cymru and the National Assembly in these areas. The survey also provides data from housing associations on the relevance and impact of policy implementation under Tai Cymru in three key operational areas, these are: development; rent setting; and, the allocation of housing. The primary research carried out allows conclusions to be drawn on the significance of housing policy implementation by policy institutions in Wales on housing associations having regard to their independence and capacity for operational discretion, and, of the relevance of accounts of the non-profit sector that highlight weaknesses arising from its engagement by public policy.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
The rapid socio-economic development in China has given rise to the problem of housing obsolescence. The reduction of housing obsolescence and the increase in housing service life are important from the perspective of sustainable development. In extant literature, flexibility has been introduced as an important method to reduce housing obsolescence. However, no empirical evidence exists to illustrate the effects of flexibility on reducing housing obsolescence. Therefore, by correlating knowledge on flexibility and housing obsolescence, this study attempts to explore the effects of flexibility on reducing urban housing obsolescence with special focus on Chinese flexible housing practices during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s.
The research question which this study attempts to address is whether housing obsolescence can be obviously reduced by flexibility in Chinese flexible housing practices during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. First, the theoretical framework of this research explains Chinese flexible approaches within the context of Chinese housing development since 1949. Second, it explores the mechanism of obsolescence in flexible housing practices during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. The internal and external threat of housing obsolescence is discussed. A cross-national comparison is also made to understand the context of these practices. Third, theoretical framework suggests two scenarios and three theoretical propositions, and it specifies three key factors for analyzing the effects of flexibility on the reduction of housing obsolescence: changeability, housing obsolescence, and changing behavior by dwellers. Finally, it establishes a methodology for empirical investigation. Six Chinese neighborhoods built during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s which contain both flexible houses and similar ordinary houses are selected as cases according to screening criteria. Data are obtained by survey among households, interviews, analysis of archival records, and on-site observation. The main unit of analysis is a type of flat. The data analysis revolves around the three propositions put forward.
The results of the empirical study indicate that the six cases do not agree with the three propositions. First, only a small number of households use the pre-set changeability in flexible flats. Second, flexible flats do not have a much lower score in housing obsolescence than similar ordinary flats. Third, the score on housing obsolescence for households who use changeability is not obviously lower than that for households who do not. These findings are discussed within the theoretical framework. In general, this research does not support the notion that flexibility in the flexible housing can reduce housing obsolescence obviously in the given context.published_or_final_version

Since the middle of this century, many cities in the Developing World have experienced rapid growth and fundamental transformation in their socio-economic structure. Rapid population growth due to massive migration created an acute shortage in housing stock which resulted in squatter settlements and problems of insufficient urban services. Proposals for solving the problems of housing shortages and urban growth in the Third World Countries have always been based at first on Western ideas. However, due to financial constraints many have resorted to more innovative responses, mainly supported and sponsored by the World Bank. Judging from many studies of the failures and successes of housing schemes in Third World Countries, it appears that the main difficulties they have to contend with are a lack of finance coupled with a large influx of poor people. Yet, despite being a wealthy country with a small population size, Kuwait had to pass through the same housing problems. Kuwait's unique situation arises from a political system discriminating between citizens and non-citizens in housing choices and supply. Catering only for the citizens, yet requiring the labour of many others, resulted in great housing inequalities, because more than 71 per cent of the population are non-citizens. This thesis was set up to investigate the housing conditions and aspirations of popular housing tenants in Kuwait. Popular housing emerged as a solution for squatter settlement problems in Kuwait. However, it created a great housing disparity within the Kuwaiti housing system. The study begins with a review of the literature on low income housing in the cities of rapidly developing countries, and particularly the emergence of squatting with its implications, and the nature and degree of government intervention. Subsequent to a discussion of Kuwait's physical, economic, political and demographic trends, the study reviews housing and urban development in Kuwait with special reference to the government's efforts in housing its citizens. These chapters highlight the disparity between citizens and non-citizens in housing cost and design, location and access to public services. The field work undertaken for this study critically examined the relationship between popular housing tenants, their dwellings and the surrounding environment. This provided a basis for evaluating the living environment by measuring the tenants' degree of satisfaction, and exploring their aspirations and expectations regarding their future housing. The impact of housing disparity on the occupants' social and physical performance is then examined to throw further light on the types of problems they are facing. Finally each major component of this evaluation is separately analysed in order to determine its effect on present and future housing policy. This study, being the first documentation of the housing conditions of the popular housing tenants in Kuwait, had the main objective of presenting recommendations both for immediate action and for long term policy to solve their problems.

The past three decades have witnessed the rapid development of the Chinese housing market , which is considered as a barometer of and an extremely crucial component of the whole Chinese economic system. Although some important findings have been obtained by previous research, many conclusions have been controversial and a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism and behaviour of the Chinese housing system is a worthwhile endeavour. The existing studies about the Chinese housing market are mostly confined to qualitative analysis, lacking the support of a theoretical basis and empirical research. This thesis aims to employ more recent econometrical methodologies, from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, to systematically analyse several prevalent issues of the Chinese housing market. More specifically, this thesis is going to explore the main determinants of house prices, the convergence and ripple effects of regional house prices, and the interactive relationship between housing conditions and individual’s subjective well-being. Some empirical findings can be drawn from this thesis: 1) by using the system GMM dynamic panel data models, the results indicate that Chinese house prices are mainly affected by factors related to government policies and speculative demand rather than the urbanization process, which is understandable in a non-fully market-oriented status quo; 2) there is evidence of very limited convergence of regional house prices by employing unit root tests, σ-convergence and β-convergence approaches; however, the alternative methods, such as panel regression models, Engle-Granger/Johansen cointegration tests and Granger Causality tests, imply that house prices can ripple out from some core cities to other cities; 3) the results of the Ordered Probit Models suggest that the housing conditions in urban areas play a significant role in peoples’ subjective well-being in respect of housing satisfaction and overall happiness; additionally, the effects of housing factors impact on different groups of residents in different ways. Due to the limitations of data sources in the early days, this thesis is the first to combine such a wide panel data series, on both the time dimension and geographic dimension, to study the Chinese Housing Market. Also, when analysing the convergence and ripple effects models, this thesis transfers the original link indexes used by previous scholars into modified constant growth indexes, which improves the efficiency of empirical models to a greater extent. In addition, approaches using the system GMM method, σ- and β-convergence analysis, Engle-Granger/Johansen cointegration tests and Granger Causality tests are first introduced into the study of the Chinese housing market, generally achieving good results especially in the determinants of house prices and the ripple effects of regional house prices. Moreover, except for the commonly used method of the Ordered Probit Model for the questionnaire survey research, this thesis produces the predicted value of housing satisfaction by using two-stage estimations, to investigate the effects of housing conditions and housing satisfaction on people’s overall happiness. Meanwhile, the approach of ‘money equivalent effects’ is also a new perspective in detecting the effects of housing conditions on overall happiness.

Sweden is not providing its citizens with sufficient housing anymore. Therefore it is important to consider what can be done to solve the situation. Sweden has the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by how other countries are trying to solve their housing issues. The USA, for example, has long experience within the area of housing policy especially policies that try to help those with incomes lower than the median income. The purpose of this thesis is to examine one of the policies that have developed in the USA, which is called inclusionary housing. The policy is used to increase the supply of affordable housing by including affordable units within market priced projects. Inclusionary housing is different from more traditional housing policies such as public housing or social housing. Inclusionary housing is a market-oriented policy compared to more traditional ways to produce low-income housing. Inclusionary housing is funded through increased land prices or production of market priced housing compared to traditional programs, which usually are funded through taxes and subsidies. The purpose of inclusionary housing is to integrate low-income housing with market priced housing, which will create socially mixed neighborhoods. The policy is also different because it is implemented at a local level and not at the state level. The thesis has found that inclusionary housing is a flexible policy that can be formed in many different ways. Inclusionary housing does also produce housing to no- or low cost to local governments. The results, however, show that the policy does not produce large quantities of affordable housing. Even though the policy does not produce a lot of affordable housing it is still an important tool since it works towards integration. Inclusionary housing does however have the capacity to be formed into a more productive policy than it has been in California until now. It is possible to design the policy to integrate and produce many affordable housing units in areas with high land prices and large construction of housing. On the whole inclusionary housing is a great policy, however, it probably has to cooperate with other housing policies to solve a bigger issue with housing provision and housing affordability.Sverige kan inte längre tillgodose sina medborgare med ”en god bostad för alla”. Det är därför viktigt att reflektera över vad som kan göras för att åtgärda detta. Sverige har stora möjligheter att lära sig från och inspireras av andra länders sätt att handskas med liknande problem. USA, till exempel, har sedan en lång tid tillbaka arbetat med många olika bostadspolitiska medel som framförallt inriktar sig på att hjälpa de med lägre inkomster än medianen. Uppsatsen ämnar till att studera ett av dessa verktyg som heter inclusionary housing. Verktyget används för att öka utbudet av prisvärda bostäder genom att integrera de prisvärda enheterna i projekt med marknadshyra eller till marknadspris. Inclusionary housing skiljer sig från mer traditionella bostadspolitiska verktyg så som ”public housing” eller ”social housing”. Inclusionary housing är ett marknadsinriktat medel jämfört med mer traditionella sätt att ordna bostäder för låginkomsttagare. Inclusionary housing finansieras genom att ta tillvara på ökning av markpriser eller produktion av bostäder till marknadspris jämfört med traditionella program som finansieras genom skatter eller subventioner. Syftet med inclusionary housing är att integrera bostäder för låginkomsttagare med bostäder till marknadspris eller marknadshyra vilket ska resultera i ett socialt blandat bostadsbyggande. Inclusionary housing skiljer sig också för att det är implementerat på lokal nivå och inte på statlig nivå. Uppsatsen har funnit att inclusionary housing är ett flexibelt verktyg som går att utforma på många olika sätt. Inclusionary housing producerar även prisvärda enheter till en låg eller ingen kostnad för lokala myndigheter. Resultatet visar dock att verktyget inte producerar mängder med prisvärda bostäder. Även om medlet inte producerar ett stort antal enheter är det fortfarande ett viktigt verktyg då det arbetar med integration. Det finns också stora möjligheter till att utforma verktyget till att bli mer effektivt än vad det har varit i Kalifornien hittills. Det finns framförallt potential att utforma ett verktyg som både integrerar och producerar många prisvärda bostäder i områden med höga markpriser och stort bostadsbyggande. Sammantaget är inclusionary housing ett bra verktyg som dock sannolikt behöver samverka med andra medel för att kunna lösa ett större problem med bostadsförsörjning.

Lifestyle is a popular concept used to understand consumers' behaviors; however, the lifestyle concept rarely has been applied to housing studies. Although renting a multifamily dwelling is a non-normative housing choice in the United States, many people prefer to rent multifamily housing units for reasons other than financial.
The purpose of this study is to identify the housing preferences of multifamily housing residents as determined by their lifestyles. The model of influences on housing choice was used as a theoretical framework for the study.
Fifty nine housing activity, interest, and opinion (AIO) statements were developed as a lifestyle measurement for this study. A total of 211 responses were collected from residents of nine selected apartment communities in Charlotte, N.C., through two phases of questionnaire surveys. The respondents were represented by young single-person or couple households with high income and college degrees or higher education.
Four lifestyle factors (Well-being, Social, Spaces, and Envirotech) were derived from housing interest and opinion items, and the respondents were grouped into four lifestyle clusters (Community Cluster, Basics Cluster, Home Cluster, and Environment Cluster) on the basis of the lifestyle factors. The relationships between the lifestyle clusters and their housing preferences were tested and the model of influences on housing choice was partially supported.
Households in the Community Cluster had a strong downtown-orientation and the weakest perception of homeownership, and preferred to have security features. Households in the Basics Cluster had the weakest preferences for apartment home and community features and the second weakest perception of homeownership. Households in the Home Cluster had the strongest perception of homeownership and relatively strong feature preferences, including preferences for upscale interior design features. Households in the Environment Cluster had a strong suburban-orientation and preferred to have outdoor parking spaces in front of the building, plant watering service, and an on-site car care center.
The findings from this study can be applied to the design and management of apartment communities and to marketing strategies that are sensitive to lifestyle concepts. Because of the unique sampling framework, the results from this study cannot be generalized. Instead, it is recommended that further research studies test the housing AIO statements with different groups in diverse markets.Ph. D.

The Society of Housing Managers. formed from the women trained by Octavia Hill, is not well known, though it played a prominent part in housing management from the 1930s onwards. The aim of this thesis is to examine the hypothesis that the Society of Housing Managers played a substantial role in encouraging the employment of trained women in housing from 1912 to the post- war period. It is further suggested that the ending of an all female Society and its subsequent amalgamation with the Institute of Housing in 1965 was one factor in weakening the position of women in housing employment, although other factors contributed. A major source of evidence used is depth interviews carried out with members of the committee who dealt with unification between the Society and the Institute, as well as interviews with other women managers. Some of these informants supplied early, often unique, documents. The Minute Books of the Society and other records not hitherto documented were also important as were Public Record Office papers, contemporary journals and secondary historical sources. Statistical data centres around a detailed analysis by gender of the Institute of Housing membership records and two major surveys carried out by the City University and the NFHA using unpublished as well as the published data. An additional small survey was done of women's employment in allied professional organisations. It is concluded that the Society of Housing Managers played a crucial role in drawing women into housing employment in the 1930s and thus opened up opportunities for women in the; expansion of public housing during the second world war and after. However some disadvantages may have been incurred by separate organisation. In comparison. women in the 1980s have had some success in combining separate women's networks with membership of a mixed Institute.

As home ownership in the UK housing market has become mature, economic and econometric analyses of urban and regional owner-occupier housing markets have become a long-standing concern of housing economists. This thesis defines a nestedl ocal housing submarkets tructureT. he dynamic stock flow model with trade friction is revised and applied to analysing the local owner occupier housing submarket operational process. The short run and long run equilibrium and discquilibrium nature of a local owner occupier housing submarkct system are divulged. This model explores the submarket house price determinants and the role of housing submarket trade friction in submarket house price formation. The computer simulation reveals the relationship between the housing submarket structure and the system stability. The role of household housing choice behaviour in directing the system has been carefully demonstrated. On the premise of the utility maximisation approach, a behavioural model of regional household housing choice per housing submarket is set up. It is argued that the structure of the regional labour market determines household dwelling location choice. The influence of housing submarket marketability (defined as an inverse of the submarket trade friction) on household housing choice behaviour is considered. The family life cycle pattern of housing choice behaviour and the influence of household financial constraints on housing choice are also developed in the model. The empirical analysis is based on both Stated and Revealed preference information in order to overcome the dwelling supply constraint. The data is derived from the Lothian Region owner occupier housing market. The empirical results are compared with those of the existing housing choice models. The policy implications which follow from this thesis are then discussed in the light of the findings
