Spatial and Structural Change in Institutional Care for the Elderly in South East England, 1987-90
In Great Britain, the 1980s were marked by an increasing involvement of the independent sector in the provision of long-term institutional care resources for the elderly. In this paper, spatial and structural changes in the provision of all categories of residential and nursing beds in the South East region of England between 1987 and 1990 are investigated. The data were obtained from a variety of sources including directories of private institut…
Household Life-Cycle Change in the Urban Council Housing Sector, 1971-81
Significant sociospatial changes have recently taken place within the British council housing sector. In this paper the evolution of life-cycle patterns on Birmingham council estates between 1971 and 1981 is investigated. An analysis of household life-cycle characteristics on 10 representative study estates is carried out using relevant census data. A more detailed examination of change within one of these estates is also conducted. Although hous…
Migration Decisions of Transfer Applicants in the Council Housing Sector
In this paper, the migration decisions of intending-transfer households in the council housing sector of Birmingham, England are investigated. The decisions are broadly conceptualized within the two main phases of the Brown-Moore model of residential mobility: (1) the decision to seek a new residence, and (2) the relocation decision (specifically, search behaviour and evaluation procedures). The data are based on an interview survey of transfer a…
Spatial Aspects of Intraurban Migration Behaviour in a Mixed Housing Market
This paper examines the validity of J S Adams's propositions concerning the spatial properties of overt migration behaviour in the context of a British city (that is, Birmingham) with a significant public housing sector. Samples of migration moves associated with separate housing submarkets, identified on the basis of tenure/dwelling type criteria, are tested for sectoral, directional, and distance biases. Mean movement distances are computed to …
