  • Secondary cities as an optimal place to settle down in China? The role of housing, employment and amenities in recent migrants' leaving intention across the urban hierarchy

    Open Access•Jun Wen, Sylvia J T Jansen et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2026•References: 63

    Urbanization trends in China reveal a shift in migration patterns, with an increasing number of recent migrants leaving primate cities while secondary cities emerge as attractive destinations. Given China's aging population and intensifying intercity competition for migrants, understanding the factors associated with recent migrants' intentions to leave cities at various levels becomes increasingly important. While spatial equilibrium theory impl…

  • Young Talents' Settlement Decisions in China's Metropolises

    Open Access•Chi jin, Bo Li et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2025•Cited by: 2•References: 23

    Global metropolises, including first‐tier Chinese cities, are confronting unprecedented challenges of talent exodus amid escalating housing costs, competitive job markets and deteriorating urban living conditions. Traditional migration theories fall short in explaining young talents' mobility decisions, as their high human capital drives them to prioritize multidimensional considerations beyond mere economic returns. This study develops a compreh…

  • Migration across the urban hierarchy

    Open Access•Jun Wen, J T Jansen et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 39

    The population density in megacities in China gives rise to challenges, such as traffic congestion and soaring housing prices. A trend of leaving primate cities can be observed as well as a population increase in secondary cities. These trends might point to an urbanisation transition from the primate city stage to the secondary city stage. Research is needed to determine at which stage of urbanisation China currently resides, and who are migrati…

  • Understanding civil servants' intentions to open data

    Open Access•Fernando Kleiman, Sylvia J T Jansen et al.•ARTICLE•Information Technology and People•2024

    Purpose The opening of government data is high on the policy agenda of governments worldwide. However, data release faces barriers due to limited support of civil servants, whereas the literature neglects civil servants' role in opening data. This paper aims at understanding why civil servants can be reluctant to support the disclosure of data. The authors developed a model to explain civil servants' behavioral intention to open data. Design/meth…

  • Understanding the relationship between residential environment, social exclusion, and life satisfaction of private renters in Shenzhen

    Open Access•Bo Li, Chi jin et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Housing and the Built…•2023•Cited by: 3•References: 27

    The recent revival of the private rented sector in many regions highlights the importance of understanding the well-being of private renters. While there is a consensus that private renters are less satisfied with their life than homeowners, little attention has been given to examining the life satisfaction of private renters from different sub-sectors, nor has the underlying mechanism linking residential environment and life satisfaction been th…

  • Understanding the Housing Pathways and Migration Plans of Young Talents in Metropolises–A Case Study of Shenzhen

    Open Access•Chi jin, Bo Li et al.•ARTICLE•Housing Theory and Society•2023•Cited by: 7•References: 12

    In the context of skyrocketing house prices and fierce competition for talents between cities, this study explores the housing pathways of young talents and their future migration plans in Shenzhen, China. Using the housing pathways approach and Bourdieu’s theory of practice with three concepts, this study uncovers how structural factors and the often-overlooked agency factors together influence the formation of different housing pathways. Drawin…

  • What attracts young talents? Understanding the migration intention of university students to first-tier cities in China

    Open Access•Chi jin, Bo Li et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2022•Cited by: 9•References: 86

    In recent years, China has witnessed fierce competition for talents among cities. There is evidence that China's first-tier cities are losing their appeal for young talents due to the soaring housing prices and high living costs in first-tier cities, as well as the catch-up of next-tier cities. Therefore, uncovering what factors drive young talents to develop in first-tier cities is important for policymakers to maintain and enhance the attractiv…

  • Unraveling the determinants for private renting in metropolitan China

    Open Access•Bo Li, Sylvia J T Jansen et al.•ARTICLE•Habitat International•2022•Cited by: 5•References: 69

    After being neglected since the establishment of the housing market in the 1990s, China has recently shown great enthusiasm for developing the housing rental market. It is essential to understand why people choose private renting as it enables us to better identify the demands of tenants and develop policies accordingly to promote private renting. However, at the micro-level, the determinants for people's renting intention have rarely been studie…

  • Residential satisfaction of private tenants in China's superstar cities

    Open Access•Bo Li, Chi jin et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2021•Cited by: 5•References: 75

    In recent years, Chinese housing policies have been shifting from encouraging homeownership toward developing the private rented sector, especially in the superstar cities. Nevertheless, what are the target groups and characteristics of private rental housing in Chinese superstar cities, and whether the private rental housing is capable of meeting private tenants' housing needs remain unclear. This paper attempts to bridge this gap from the tenan…

  • Changing civil servants’ behaviour concerning the opening of governmental data

    Open Access•Fernando Kleiman, Marijn Janssen et al.•ARTICLE•International Review of…•2020•References: 6

    Open data policies are increasingly being adopted by governments. However, civil servants find it challenging to comply with open data policies. Gaming can help civil servants to practise opening data and can change their behaviour to support the opening of more data. In this article, the effect of playing a game is evaluated in an experiment in which several factors that influence the opening of data are compared before and after the game. The b…

  • Place attachment, distress, risk perception and coping in a case of earthquakes in the Netherlands

    Open Access•J T Jansen•ARTICLE•Journal of Housing and the Built…•2019•Cited by: 7•References: 10

    In the Netherlands, the extraction of natural gas from the ground has led to soil subsidence and the occurrence of earthquakes. These earthquakes cause physical damage to buildings and give rise to psychological distress. Research on the impact of natural hazards, such as earthquakes, has shown that there is a complicated relationship between place attachment, perceived risk and coping strategies. The current study, performed in the earthquake ar…

  • Older People in a Long-term Regeneration Neighbourhood. An Exploratory Panel Study of Ageing in Place in Hoogvliet, Rotterdam

    Open Access•Reinout Kleinhans, Lex Veldboer et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology and Anthropology•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 11

    Ageing of the population in European cities creates fundamental challenges with regard to employment, pensions, health care and other age-related services. Many older people want to live independent lives as long as possible. This aspiration is currently strongly supported by many local governments. A precondition for 'ageing in place' is that older people perceive their neighbourhoods as familiar and safe places. In the Netherlands, many neighbo…

  • Why is Housing Always Satisfactory? A Study into the Impact of Cognitive Restructuring and Future Perspectives on Housing Appreciation

  • Different Values, Different Housing? Can Underlying Value Orientations Predict Residential Preference and Choice

    Sylvia J T Jansen, J T Jansen•ARTICLE•Housing Theory and Society•2013•Cited by: 10•References: 9

    Various demographic, socio-economic and socio-cultural shifts have taken place in recent decades. These trends result in a change in the volume and quality of the housing demand as well as in the choice of location. Consequently, the traditional method, which implies asking relatively simple and straightforward questions about the willingness to move, residential preferences and the current housing situation, might no longer be adequate to explai…

  • Why is Housing Always Satisfactory? A Study into the Impact of Preference and Experience on Housing Appreciation

    Open Access•Sylvia J T Jansen, J T Jansen•ARTICLE•Social Indicators Research•2013•Cited by: 22•References: 29

    This study focuses on residents' perceptions of residential quality concerning 23 different dwelling aspects. Respondents were asked to indicate their appreciation of these dwelling aspects on a scale ranging from 0 ("extremely unattractive") to 100 ("extremely attractive"). The influence of two potential factors on the appreciation of dwelling aspects is examined: (1) preference and (2) experience. It was hypothesized that residents who live acc…

  • What is the worth of values in guiding residential preferences and choices

    Open Access•J T Jansen•ARTICLE•Journal of Housing and the Built…•2012•Cited by: 9•References: 13

    The demographic, socio-economic and socio-cultural shifts that have taken place in Western economies in recent decades have generated a broader variety in housing behavior. For this reason, some researchers argue that socio-demographic characteristics alone no longer suffice to predict the housing demand. They should be supplemented with ‘lifestyle’ variables. However, the worth of lifestyle for the prediction of the housing demand is a highly de…

  • The impact of including images in a conjoint measurement task

    Open Access•J T Jansen, H J F M Boumeester et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Housing and the Built…•2009•Cited by: 3•References: 1

    In the Netherlands, a large ongoing study seeks to provide insight into the process behind preferences and choices with regard to moving and housing. As part of the development of the survey instrument that was used in this study, we examined whether visual images (such as photographs) should be included, since they may clarify particular attributes (e.g., architectural style) and make the choice task more realistic for the respondents. However, …
