Book Microsimulating Residential Mobility and Location Choice Processes Within an Integrated Land Use and Transportation Modelling System

Download or read book Microsimulating Residential Mobility and Location Choice Processes Within an Integrated Land Use and Transportation Modelling System written by Muhammad Ahsanul Habib and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research investigates motivational and procedural aspects of households' long-term decisions of residential locations. The main goal of the research is to develop microbehavioural models of location processes in order to implement this critical land use component within a microsimulation-based model of Integrated Land Use, Transportation and Environment (ILUTE). The research takes a disaggregate and longitudinal approach to develop the models, which is consistent with the real-world decision-making process of households concerning their movements from one residence to another over time. It identifies two sequential model components to represent households' relocation behaviour: (1) a model of household residential mobility that determines whether a household decides to become active in the housing market, and (2) a (re) location choice model. Both components are empirically investigated using retrospective surveys of housing careers. For the residential mobility decision, the research tests continuous-time hazard duration models and discrete-time panel logit models, and attempts to capture heterogeneity effects due to repeated choices within both modelling techniques. A discrete-time random parameter model is selected for implementation within ILUTE since it incorporates time-varying covariates. Assuming a sequential decision process, this mobility decision model is linked to the (re) location choice model that establishes preference orderings for each active household for a given set of dwelling units that it considers to relocate within the housing market. A unique feature of the (re) location model developed in this research is that it incorporates reference dependence that explicitly recognizes the role of the status quo and captures asymmetric responses towards gains and losses in making location choice decisions. The research then estimates an asking price model, which is used to generate base prices for active dwellings to interact with active households through a market clearing process within a microsimulation environment. A multilevel model that simultaneously accounts for both temporal and spatial heterogeneity is developed in this research using multi-period property transaction data. Finally, this research simulates evolution of households' location choices for a twenty-year period (1986-2006) and compares the results against observed location patterns.

Book In Defense of Housing

Download or read book In Defense of Housing written by Peter Marcuse and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every major city in the world there is a housing crisis. How did this happen and what can we do about it? Everyone needs and deserves housing. But today our homes are being transformed into commodities, making the inequalities of the city ever more acute. Profit has become more important than social need. The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing. Communities are faced with the violence of displacement and gentrification. And the benefits of decent housing are only available for those who can afford it. In Defense of Housing is the definitive statement on this crisis from leading urban planner Peter Marcuse and sociologist David Madden. They look at the causes and consequences of the housing problem and detail the need for progressive alternatives. The housing crisis cannot be solved by minor policy shifts, they argue. Rather, the housing crisis has deep political and economic roots—and therefore requires a radical response.

Download or read book Climbing Mount Laurel written by Douglas S. Massey and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A close look at the aftereffects of the Mount Laurel affordable housing decision Under the New Jersey State Constitution as interpreted by the State Supreme Court in 1975 and 1983, municipalities are required to use their zoning authority to create realistic opportunities for a fair share of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. Mount Laurel was the town at the center of the court decisions. As a result, Mount Laurel has become synonymous with the debate over affordable housing policy designed to create economically integrated communities. What was the impact of the Mount Laurel decision on those most affected by it? What does the case tell us about economic inequality? Climbing Mount Laurel undertakes a systematic evaluation of the Ethel Lawrence Homes—a housing development produced as a result of the Mount Laurel decision. Douglas Massey and his colleagues assess the consequences for the surrounding neighborhoods and their inhabitants, the township of Mount Laurel, and the residents of the Ethel Lawrence Homes. Their analysis reveals what social scientists call neighborhood effects—the notion that neighborhoods can shape the life trajectories of their inhabitants. Climbing Mount Laurel proves that the building of affordable housing projects is an efficacious, cost-effective approach to integration and improving the lives of the poor, with reasonable cost and no drawbacks for the community at large.

Book Satisfied with People Or Place

Book excerpt: This dissertation identifies factors that influence the subjective perceptions of relocatees after relocation, provides an understanding of the complex ways in which the relocation experience affects relocatees’ lives, and fills gaps in the literature about residential satisfaction, neighborhood context, and the effects of residential mobility on low-income households. Existing literature on the subjective perceptions of relocatees is fragmentary, and causality is unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study is to bring all existing concepts together into one comprehensive model and analyze the direct and indirect effects of individual- and household-level characteristics and perceptions of neighborhood context, neighborhood social ties, and place attachment on residential satisfaction. A better understanding of the complex ways in which the relocation experience and process affect relocatees’ lives will be valuable in designing or modifying housing policy. To fill in knowledge gaps about residential satisfaction, perceptions of neighborhood context, and the effects of residential mobility on low-income households displaced by public housing redevelopment, the following research question is poseds: 1) How do their subjective perceptions of the original site affect those of the new residential environment after relocation?, 2) How does attachment to public housing mediate the impact of perceived neighborhood attributes on residential satisfaction after relocation to a new place?, 3) How does involuntary relocation affect relocatees’ neighborhood social ties, place attachment, and residential satisfaction after relocation to a new place? Using two waves of survey (post-move and two years later) with three time points (retrospective pre-, post-move, and two years later) of the Bremerton Washington’s Westpark project, this study investigates: 1) what predicts residential satisfaction over time through a cross-lagged effect modeling, and 2) the causal relationships through the framework of a structural equation modeling. Results from the analyses demonstrate that residents relocating from Westpark maintain the same levels of neighborhood social ties as those who have higher levels of neighborhood social ties over time. relocatees’ neighborhood social ties while living in public housing has a positive impact on residential satisfaction over time. Yet the direct effect is mediated by a high level of social networks after relocation. A key finding from this study related to place attachment is residential satisfaction and neighborhood social ties have a positive influence on place attachment. Moreover, the nature of involuntary mobility and lengthy residence right after relocation has a negative impact on residential satisfaction over time. These findings emphasize the importance of continuous mobility consultations before and after relocation for successful adjustment and integration into new neighborhoods. Policy implications also imply relocatees from redevelopment programs should be given access to jobs and open space to encourage more encounters among residents in new neighborhoods and to promote post-relocation housing stability.
