Home ownership and rent control in Switzerland
This paper discusses the reasons for two intriguing characteristics of the Swiss housing market: the small demand for owner occupancy in spite of high per capita income and the survival of a viable private rental sector after decades of rent control. The low rate of home ownership seems to be the result of the high cost of owning caused by the taxation of imputed rent and capital gains, and the lack of financial incentives to save for a down paym…
Privatisation of public housing in Israel
Privatisation has been part of Israeli housing policy since the first public housing units were built in 1949. It has involved the sale of publicly‐owned dwellings to sitting tenants, but also the shift to residents of responsibilities usually associated with ownership, such as maintenance and tax liabilities. The evolution of this policy is examined by considering the social, economic and political factors which have shaped the development of Is…
Incorporating Neighborhood Effects into Spatial Allocation Models
In this paper the authors are concerned with the explicit introduction of endogenous spatial externalities into gravity-type allocation models. The discussion focuses on the locational choice by households, which is taken to be affected by the spatial distribution of all other actors. A stochastic linear function of utility is assumed, in which the arguments include, as endogenous variables, land rents and the level of externalities. A multinomia…
Maintenance of shared property in low‐income condominiums
This paper deals with the factors affecting the maintenance of the shared areas of low‐income condominiums. The study is based on a sample of 373 households in four neighbourhoods which had been rehabilitated as part of Israel's Project Renewal. 73% of the variance in observed maintenance quality couldbe explained in a multiple regression analysis by four factors: participation in the renewal process, household characteristics, physical features …
Factors Affecting the Development of New Towns in Israel
This paper explains the differences in success among twenty-nine Israeli new towns as measured by their ability to attract migrants. It begins with a description of the background of the new-town policy in Israel, and presents comparative data on the development of the various towns. This is followed by a discussion of the alternative theories proposed to explain the great differences in the development of the new towns. Empirical evidence is pre…
The Social Ecology of Tel-Aviv
This article analyzes the urban ecology of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area using data from the 1972 census. The method used is factor analysis. The following factors are identified: (a) socioeconomic status: distributed along radial sectors; (b) life cycle stage: differentiated according to concentric zonal pattern; (c) religious orthodoxy: mostly concentrated in one of the suburban towns. A fourth factor whose interpretation is not clear appears …

Housing Prices and Housing Preferences in Israel
Israel's housing market differs from other countries in that most of the urban population lives in owner-occupied apartments in multi-family buildings. This paper is concerned with the implications of this situation for housing preferences. The study is based on the prices of a sample of apartments offered for sale in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. Using multiple regression analysis hedonic price indexes were obtained for a large number of chara…

A Goal-Programming Model for Industrial Location Involving Environmental Considerations
This paper presents an application of goal programming to the planning of industrial location in the context of air-pollution policy. Goal programming is a modification of linear programming designed to solve problems characterized by a large number of conflicting objectives. The solution is obtained by expressing all objectives as constraints and minimizing the deviation of the allocation from the respective targets and standards. If lexicograph…
Urban Land-Use Planning and Environmental Pollution
This paper presents a linear-programming model for the formulation of a joint policy for land use and environmental pollution. The theoretical framework is an extension of the residential-location model originally suggested by Herbert and Stevens (1960). Environmental policy is introduced by setting environmental standards which can be spatially differentiated. According to the characteristics of the diffusion process and of the discharge locatio…
