Book excerpt: This book presents a new approach to housing research, one that is relevant to all the social sciences. Housing research is diverse and operates across many disciplines, approaches and methods making collaboration difficult. This book outlines a methodological framework that enables researchers from many different fields to collaborate in solving complex and seemingly intractable housing problems. It shows how we can make progress in housing research and deliver better housing outcomes through an integrated approach. Drawing on the work of renowned Canadian methodologist, philosopher, theologian and economist, Bernard Lonergan (1904–1984), McNelis outlines a framework for collaborative research: Functional Collaboration. This new form of collaboration divides up the work of housing research into functional specialties. These distinguish eight inter-related questions that arise in the process of moving from the current housing situation through to providing practical advice to decision-makers. To answer each question a different method is required. Making progress in housing is the result of finding new answers to this complete set of eight inter-related questions. This approach to collaboration opens up a new discourse on method in housing and social research as well as new debates on progress and the nature of science.

Download or read book A Longitudinal Mixed methods Approach to Exploring the Impacts of Housing on Health and Wellbeing written by Lisa Garnham and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers often face problems when trying to unpack the causal pathways embedded in complex social processes, such as between poverty, housing, and poor health. Difficulties in pinning down cause and effect relationships and identifying how these relationships work in different contexts make it challenging to understand how one set of circumstances, action, or intervention could lead to a particular outcome. However, it is important to improve our understanding of these processes, so that we can influence the design of health and social care systems that work to improve health and reduce inequalities. In this case study, we reflect on our research into the health and wellbeing impacts of different approaches to housing provision and explore the benefits and challenges of undertaking longitudinal, mixed-methods research to address some of these difficulties. In using these methodologies, we faced a number of challenges around recruitment and retention, as well as strains on resources during both data collection and analysis. We outline how we dealt with these challenges and show how the use of a longitudinal, mixed-methods approach was crucial to producing a powerful dataset, which helped to answer a number of important questions.

Download or read book Decision Science for Housing and Community Development written by Michael P. Johnson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving in community-based organizations using decision models and operations research applications A comprehensive treatment of public-sector operations research and management science, Decision Science for Housing and Community Development: Localized and Evidence-Based Responses to Distressed Housing and Blighted Communities addresses critical problems in urban housing and community development through a diverse set of decision models and applications. The book represents a bridge between theory and practice and is a source of collaboration between decision and data scientists and planners, advocates, and community practitioners. The book is motivated by the needs of community-based organizations to respond to neighborhood economic and social distress, represented by foreclosed, abandoned, and blighted housing, through community organizing, service provision, and local development. The book emphasizes analytic approaches that increase the ability of local practitioners to act quickly, thoughtfully, and effectively. By doing so, practitioners can design and implement responses that reflect stakeholder values associated with healthy and sustainable communities; that benefit from increased organizational capacity for evidence-based responses; and that result in solutions that represent improvements over the status quo according to multiple social outcome measures. Featuring quantitative and qualitative analytic methods as well as prescriptive and exploratory decision modeling, the book also includes: Discussions of the principles of decision theory and descriptive analysis to describe ways to identify and quantify values and objectives for community development Mathematical programming applications for real-world problem solving in foreclosed housing acquisition and redevelopment Applications of case studies and community-engaged research principles to analytics and decision modeling Decision Science for Housing and Community Development: Localized and Evidence-Based Responses to Distressed Housing and Blighted Communities is an ideal textbook for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level courses in decision models and applications; humanitarian logistics; nonprofit operations management; urban operations research; public economics; performance management; urban studies; public policy; urban and regional planning; and systems design and optimization. The book is also an excellent reference for academics, researchers, and practitioners in operations research, management science, operations management, systems engineering, policy analysis, city planning, and data analytics.

Download or read book The Population Health Approach to Housing written by James Roland Dunn and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a framework for analyzing the relationship between housing and health from a population health perspective. The population health perspective is an influential research and policy framework that is motivated by the question "What makes some people healthy and others not?" It suggests that the strongest determinants of health are socio-economic factors in everyday life. The primary purpose of this report is to propose a conceptual framework intended to guide research on housing and health from a population perspective. The report reviews the primary underpinnings of the population health perspective, emphasizing its importance in the Canadian social policy discourse and the primary evidence base for the population health perspective. A brief overview of previous research on housing and health is presented, the framework for housing and population health is presented and explained, and a number of emergent research questions are identified. Opportunities in children's housing and health research are emphasized and several key issues for housing and health relationships amongst seniors are also identified. The report also identifies some of the unique questions and issues that must be addressed in the study of housing and population health among people from groups that experience marginality and disempowerment: First Nations' Peoples, people with mental illness and addictions, people with disabilities and chronic illnesses, women and visible minorities. The final section of the report emphasizes some of the methodological challenges that must be addressed by researchers studying the socio-economic dimensions of housing.

Download or read book Policy Analysis in France written by Halpern, Charlotte and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding policy analysis in France requires first a thorough exploration of the distinction usually made in French academic and practitioner debates between policy studies and policy analysis--essentially the difference between studies of policy and studies designed for the use of policy. This book begins there, then delves into questions of how and by whom knowledge of policies is produced within and outside the French state, showing that while the tension between the two types of study is real, the continued exchange of ideas between them has led to an enrichment of both spheres. The book thus lays the foundation for a more systematic understanding of policy analysis in France.
