Les évacuations de 1939 en Moselle et en Sarre
À la suite de l'invasion allemande de la Pologne en septembre 1939, plus de cinq cent mille personnes sont évacuées de chaque côté de la frontière franco-allemande. Pour les plus d'un million de civils évacués, les dix mois qui suivent représentent un « exil intérieur ». Il va sans dire que de telles mesures ne se préparent pas en un jour. Les préparatifs desdites évacuations commencent beaucoup plus tôt en France qu'en Allemagne, mais subissent …

Moving on and moving up
The long‐term consequences of the sale of public sector dwellings to sitting tenants are under‐researched; in particular, the experience of tenant purchasers in the housing market subsequent to purchase is little known. This paper reports research designed to fill this gap in knowledge. Over 200 tenants who had bought their dwelling from the Scottish Special Housing Association and subsequently resold on the open market were traced using the Regi…
Social Segregation in Urban Scotland
Increasing Access or Widening Choice
British housing policy has, since 1979, been dominated by a shift from collectivist to market-oriented strategies. The single most important element of this policy shift has been the sale of public-sector dwellings to sitting tenants. The patterns of such sales have been well documented, but the longer-term effects on the broader housing market are less well understood. This paper is a report of the results of a research project into the resale b…
Council House Sales
Council house sales and the electorate
The voting behaviour and general ideological values of samples of purchasers and non‐purchasers of council houses were investigated against the general theoretical debate concerning the relationship of tenure and political attitudes. It was hypothesised on the basis of this debate that purchasers would have been more likely than non‐purchasers to switch from Labour to Conservative between 1979 and 1983 and that they would be more likely to favour…
Gentrification of the City
Council House Sales and Residualization
It has been argued that council house sales will contribute towards a more general process of residualization of public sector housing. Empirical evidence is presented in this context derived from surveys of purchasers and non-purchasers of council dwellings in the city of Aberdeen. This evidence confirms that purchasers and non-purchasers exhibit different socio-economic characteristics and after only four years of the Right to Buy legislation s…
The Sale of Council Houses Some Empirical Evidence
The pattern of council house sales in one housing authority, the City of Aberdeen, was monitored over a two year period since the 'Right to Buy' legislation came into force. The pattern of sales was variable, both spatially and between house types. Semi-detached and terraced properties sold at a greater rate than flatted properties, and estates with higher socio-economic status and a higher popularity rating experienced a greater level of sales. …
Social Segregation in Public Sector Housing
This paper examines the degree of social segregation within public sector housing for one housing authority using 1971 Census Small Area Statistics. This was found to be less than that existing in the private sector, but a definite and regular pattern of segregation was discovered. In particular a concentration of households in the semi-skilled, personal service and unskilled categories was found in estates built in the 1930s under slum clearance…
Attitudes and Consumer Spatial Behaviour
Revealed-Preference Theory and Spatial Choices
The various attempts that have been made to analyse and develop a theory of spatial choice are reviewed and the weaknesses of these attempts highlighted. In particular the use of revealed-preference theory is criticised on the grounds that mere modification of aspatial economic theories to take account of the spatial dimension may reduce the original aspatial economic theory to an inconsistent and nonoperational set of ideas. Neoclassical economi…
