Attitudes to conservation and water consumption
Change or turbulence
Recently the rate, scale and causes of urban change have led to large stresses on our cities which have, in turn, led to greater polarization and segregation. Cities have become vulnerable as globalization has reduced their security and reduced their independence. Although the changes have been dramatic there is little apparent reaction or opposition. Some small groups strongly express their opposition to globalization and its attendant destructi…

The limits of housing policy
This paper provides an overview of the history of owner occupation rates and policies in Australia, starting from the first Commonwealth census in 1911 and continuing to the most recent in 1991, with particular emphasis on the recent past. The ownership rate grew by only a few percentage points between the 1911 and 1947 censuses, but then increased rapidly from 53 per cent in 1947 to 70 per cent in 1961. However, in spite of extensive promotion o…
The evolution of government housing policy
This paper sets out the development of four main threads of housing policy in New South Wales from the latter part of the 19th century through the first 40 years of the 20th century. Following a discussion of the social and political circumstances and debate surrounding government policy regarding landlord/tenant relations, housing quality and supply, and owner occupancy, it concludes that policy evolution is irregular and a product of the exigen…
Government housing policy in New South Wales 1788–1900
This paper discusses the development of housing policy in Australia through a study of New South Wales. Throughout the 19th century the government became increasingly involved in housing. Its involvement was reluctant and not always welcomed. It was principally concerned with relationships between landlords and tenants and the quality of housing, and this paper examines the factors influencing the emerging pattern of intervention

This paper discusses a study of the way residents of four Melbourne suburbs evaluate and rank in importance aspects of their environment related to their dwellings, convenience, the physical and social environment. A multi-variate model of environmental perception is advanced and reasons why it may not explain people's behaviour ar…
