The home environment: Influences on the health of young-old and old-old adults in Australia
The physical and societal characteristics of home have been established as important in influencing the health and wellbeing of older adults, yet these have rarely been explored together. There is also limited research into variation across age groups, with older adults often examined as a homogenous group of those 65 years and over. This study advances the knowledge base by using the concept of person–environment (P-E) fit to analyse differences…
Composition and context drivers of residential property location value as a socioeconomic status measure
Research applying residential property value as a socioeconomic status measure is increasing. The literature includes several measures of residential property value socioeconomic status, all of which highlight location as an important component. This paper examines the drivers of the location component of residential property value that form the basis of its application as a socioeconomic status measure. The metropolitan area of Adelaide, South A…

Measuring the influence of space and time effects on time on the market
This paper is concerned with spatial effects of time on the market for residential property and time varying relationships using a dataset of properties from the Adelaide metropolitan area, Australia, during the period 2002–2011. The analysis firstly considers the spatial dependence in time on the market and secondly extends the analysis to a space-time model using 2SLS regression. The findings demonstrate the complexity in spatial analysis with …
Female-Headed Households and Achieving Home Ownership in Australia
This paper begins by identifying the growth in female-headed households in Australia. Despite this increase, it is argued that females still lag males in terms of home ownership rates (HORs) with women in Australia facing similar ownership challenges as those experienced in the UK and the USA. In seeking to establish any dynamic change, the study analyses female home ownership rates in Australia for two points in time, 1998 and 2008. Logit models…
An evaluative model for city competitiveness: Application to UK cities
Application of a hierarchical model for city competitiveness in cities of India
Implicit House Prices: Variation over Time and Space in Spain
Asking price has a fundamental influence on market behaviour and understanding how attributes affect the perceived price of housing. This paper employs a large database of houses from the Spanish housing market to estimate the role of attributes in asking price formation. STAR methodology and GLM with random effects are used to extract the price of attributes and the spatial and time pattern. Results show that the pricing of attributes varies by …
A Framework for Assessing Regeneration, Business Strategies and Urban Competitiveness
Certain cities have competitive advantage and capture the opportunities for growth and development while others continue to negotiate their position in an increasingly competitive global economy. The less competitive cities are struggling to employ effective urban regeneration strategies and property-led business strategies. This paper is concerned with developing an integrated framework for urban competitiveness with linkages to regeneration and…
Regional Spatial Policy for Economic Growth: Lessons from the Deployment of Collaborative Planning in Northern Ireland
Regional spatial planning in Northern Ireland is directly linked to the transition from conflict to peace, as identified in the Belfast Agreement of 1998. Political consensus, a rare commodity, was secured in the Northern Ireland Assembly for a regional development strategy (RDS), the first spatial planning document of its kind in the UK. This paper explores the deployment of collaborative planning in creating the RDS. Given Northern Ireland's di…
Leadership, Power and Multisector Urban Regeneration Partnerships
Multisector partnerships have become the central tenet of contemporary urban regeneration policy facilitating a new form of local participative governance. Consequently, neighbourhood renewal and the importance of 'people' and 'places' have encouraged the emergence of a new form of 'community leader' who is more in touch with the problems of local disadvantaged groups. This paper explores the issue of leadership within multisectoral urban regener…
An Indicator-based Approach to Measuring Sustainable Urban Regeneration Performance: Part 1, Conceptual Foundations and Methodological Framework
This paper evaluates the use of indicators as a means of measuring the performance of regeneration against sustainability criteria. The merits of sustainability indicators are explored with a discussion of the indicator selection process and the derivation of a points scoring framework. The extent to which the sustainability performance of regeneration projects can be evaluated and subsequently benchmarked is examined. Conclusions are drawn on th…
An Indicator-based Approach to Measuring Sustainable Urban Regeneration Performance: Part 2, Empirical Evaluation and Case-study Analysis
This paper examines the sustainability of current urban regeneration practice, through the application of weighted indicators and a points scoring framework. The analysis applies the hierarchical model discussed in the preceding paper of this journal issue to case studies of waterfront areas and cultural quarters in three European cities: Belfast, Dublin and Barcelona. The evaluation permits performance comparisons to be made between the case stu…
Financing Property's Contribution to Regeneration
Attracting investment and finance into inner-city and other renewal areas poses particular difficulties and is frequently reliant on strong public-sector commitment through special incentives or other mechanisms to provide the conditions to lever private-sector activity. This paper initially links the concept of market failure and the rationale for regeneration and examines policy responses from UK, European and US perspectives, followed by a con…

Tax-based Mechanisms in Urban Regeneration: Dublin and Chicago Models
The increasing interest in the potential use of fiscal incentives as a mechanism for stimulating urban renewal has been highlighted by a number of influential policy sources. This paper assesses the application and outcomes of tax-based incentives in urban regeneration, with particular focus upon the differing models represented by Dublin (Ireland) and Chicago (USA). Issues considered include utilisation of tax incentives, drawing-down of benefit…
Government Intervention and Impact on the Housing Market in Greater Dublin
This paper examines the conflicting outcomes of government intervention in the housing market with particular reference to taxation instruments. The use of fiscal policy as a demand-side measure within the Irish housing market is discussed. Outcomes include a high growth environment, unsustainable house price inflation and pressure on owner occupiers due to the activities of investors. The paper reviews policy mechanisms advocated under the Bacon…
Globalisation, Institutional Structures and Real Estate Markets in Central European Cities
This paper examines the urban development process in post-socialist cities of Budapest, Prague and Warsaw in the context of economic globalisation and societal transformation. Several factors have helped to shape the post-socialist cities of central Europe since the end of the 1980s. These include political transformation, economic change, restitution, privatisation, price liberalisation and decentralisation of local government. It is argued that…
House Prices and Accessibility: The Testing of Relationships within the Belfast Urban Area
The debate surrounding the sustainability of urban areas and the need to reduce dependency upon the car as the primary mode of transportation has rekindled interest in the relationship between accessibility, price and location of owner occupied housing. Traditionally, attempts at quantification have used hedonic analysis employing straight-line distance measurements to focal points such as the CBD as an indicator of accessibility. This paper focu…

The Local Housing System in Craigavon, N. Ireland: Ethno-religious Residential Segregation, Socio-tenurial Polarisation and Sub-markets
The definition, identification and factors influencing the operation of local housing markets are relatively underresearched within the UK. This paper reports upon the outcomes of an investigation into the behaviour of housing markets within the local government area of Craigavon, Northern Ireland. The research investigated three interrelated themes of segregation, socio-tenurial polarisation and sub-markets. The findings indicate a high degree o…
Evaluation of Investor Behaviour in Urban Regeneration
The financing of urban regeneration and levering of private-sector investment remains a major policy issue. This article, utilising the results of a behavioural survey, analyses the motivations of investors and their participation across a range of regeneration initiatives. The pattern of investment activity over the market cycle, reasons for holding an urban regeneration portfolio, evaluative factors and perspectives concerning the attraction of…

Community and inter-agency structures in the regeneration of inner-city Belfast
Urban regeneration policy in the 1980s, reflecting the market philosophy of the decade, was development and property led. More recently shifts in policy have placed increasing emphasis upon partnership arrangements, inter-agency structures and community involvement in a bid to address problems of market failure. Within Belfast the question of regenerating an industrialised nineteenthcentury city is overlain by additional issues relating to politi…

Hedonic modelling, housing submarkets and residential valuation
Implicit in the comparative method of valuation is the concept of housing submarkets yet little attempt has been made to link research into housing market areas with the valuation process. Hedonic models based on price data from Belfast infer that submarkets may be identified over a wider spatial scale than previously considered. Implications for the valuation process relate to the selection of comparable evidence and the quality of variables tha…
