Assessing housing inequality trends in Switzerland
Rising housing costs and a shortage of affordable housing are growing concerns all over Europe. This paper examines the housing crisis through the broader concept of housing inequality, focusing on disparities in housing costs, overcrowding, and housing quality in Switzerland. We situate the development of housing inequalities in Switzerland within the broader landscape of housing in Europe. Drawing on EU-SILC data, we disentangle differences bet…
Towards a Typology of Collaborative Housing in Colombia
The renewed interest in collaborative housing in Latin America highlights the need for analytical frameworks that capture regional specificities. This paper contributes to academic and policy debates by proposing an empirically grounded typology of collaborative housing based on the Colombian case, where diverse initiatives exist but remain marginal within the national housing system. Drawing on an analysis of 20 initiatives, we identify four dis…
Exploring the conditions for the emergence and sustainability of housing cooperatives in Latin America
Modeling Users' Cognitive Performance Using Digital Pen Features
Digital pen features model characteristics of sketches and user behavior, and can be used for various supervised machine learning (ML) applications, such as multi-stroke sketch recognition and user modeling. In this work, we use a state-of-the-art set of more than 170 digital pen features, which we implement and make publicly available. The feature set is evaluated in the use case of analyzing paper-pencil-based neurocognitive assessments in the …
Struggles for the decommodification of housing
After the Global Financial Crisis, activists and scholars have turned to collective forms of housing as a strategy to decommodify housing. We argue that housing cooperatives might take a crucial role in this strategy. The fact that they are still marginal, however, raises questions about the conditions for their emergence, growth and survival. By bringing the trajectories of housing cooperatives in Switzerland and Uruguay in dialogue, we capture …
Situating local stakeholders within national disaster governance structures
A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on 25 April 2015, killing nearly 9,000 people and destroying half a million homes. This paper analyses the effectiveness of Nepali government institutions managing the reconstruction. Using institutional ethnography, we analyse how the post-earthquake governance framework has incorporated the flexibility and decentralization outlined in pre-earthquake plans. We balance this with observations from five case …
A systems approach to resilience in the built environment
Through its capacity to evoke systemic adaptation before and after disasters, resilience has become a seductive theory in disaster management. Several studies have linked the concept with systems theory; however, they have been mostly based on theoretical models with limited empirical support. The study of the Cuban model of resilience sheds light on the variables that create systemic resilience in the built environment and its relations with the…
