家庭结构与住房状况的实证分析

住房是家庭的基础物质载体,安居乐业是家庭幸福的最基本条件之一。在经济与社会发展、转型和变革的时代环境下,探究家庭结构与住房状况之间的关系具有重要的理论和实践意义。基于2010年7省（区）调查的研究发现：家庭结构（包括家庭规模结构、家庭代际结构和家庭类型结构）与住房状况（建筑面积、间数、承重类型和住房来源等）有明显关联。人口学特征与住房状况之间具有明显的相关关系,尤其是年龄与家庭住房产权有直接关系。研究结果表明：在城镇化持续推进过程中,我国家庭小型化和核心化将在总体上改善家庭住房状况;家庭住房状况的改善也将进一步促进中国家庭的小型化、核心化和独居（单人户）的增多。建议在分析与预测国内住房市场的现状与变化时,重视分析家庭结构变动的影响,而不能仅局限于考察人口结构变动的影响。     

“治理”语境下的我国城市房屋拆迁问题探究

当代中国城市已经步入了一个快速城市化的阶段,大规模的城市扩建和旧城改造带来的城市房屋拆迁问题越发突出,耐由此引发的社会矛盾冲突也日益增多,出现了一些不和谐的因素。治理理论要求政府部门和非政府部门等众多公共行动主体彼此合作,共同承担责任,从而为解决我国城市房屋拆迁过程中存在的问题提供可能的路径。     

美国次贷危机对中国保障性住房制度建设的启示

城市低收入人群的住房问题是一个世界性难题。以美国为代表一些西方国家实行了以市场为主导的政策,取得了明显的成绩,但次贷危机深刻地揭示了企图完全依靠市场化的手段来解决低收入居民的住房问题也存在很大的风险。文章梳理了美国低收入人群住房保障的具体措施以及次贷危机对中国制定住房保障措施带来的新思考。中国政府在保障性住房制度设计上至少应该采取以下的措施:政府提供足够的具备公共配套设施的居住用地、相应的土地使用权、建筑材料,给予经济和技术支持;提供足够的就业机会和收入以保障住房市场并建立相应的制度,加强监管;由政府、社会组织或居民分层次主导不同类型的房屋建设、扩建、改造和环境维护。

The choice agenda in the Australian supported housing context: a timely reflection

The last 30 years has seen significant developments in the Australian housing sector for people with disabilities. Despite much change in the sector, and advancements in disability services, the range of current supported housing options for younger Australian adults with a neurological disability remains vastly under-developed. This is despite a widely accepted and endorsed recognition that, as is the general population, people with all forms of disability have a right to housing of their choice. This paper presents a timely critique of the key actions made by the Australian disability and housing sectors and subsequently proposes a more informed approach to supported housing design and development: one that is based on a comprehensive understanding of consumer housing priorities and preferences, and is conducive to a person’s biopsychosocial health.     

Elderly-Friendly Neighborhoods: Case Lauttasaari

The way in which the qualities of neighborhoods are perceived is an important environmental factor that affects independent living and life satisfaction during old age. The aim of this study was to include the elderly as active participants in society. How environments are planned and built has an impact on independent coping and inclusion. Involving elderly in the planning and assessment process of developing local neighborhoods is important. Accessible housing and local service networks—private, public, and third sector—promote aging in place. Cross-sector collaboration within city services is important for planning user-friendly living environments in an integrated way.     

Implementing Multidisciplinary Wellness Programs in Subsidized Housing: University–Community Partnerships

University–community partnerships (UCPs) are an important avenue for providing wellness services to seniors in subsidized housing, but there is sparse literature on this topic. The goals of this article are to (a) describe our UCP, which was unique in involving ethnically diverse older adults, and (b) discuss findings of an integrative literature review of UCP examples in subsidized housing. Results showed that UCPs typically received funding for program development and implementation; used multidisciplinary approaches to needs assessment and programming; and reported positive outcomes such as improvement in self-rated health or participant endorsements. This article provides insights and guidance for future UCPs that are much needed in subsidized housing.     

Using a community-based participatory research approach to evaluate resident predictors of involuntary exit from permanent supportive housing

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine an association between resident characteristics at time of entry to permanent supportive housing and exit status.MethodsA community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach was the guiding framework for the design, implementation and evaluation of this project. This retrospective observational study used an administrative data source from a local permanent supportive housing provider to compare resident characteristics among those who left housing voluntarily or involuntarily.ResultsThe population based sample (n = 407) was comprised of 51% males and 47% African-Americans with a mean age of 40 years (SD = 11.8). Involuntary exits (IEs) occurred in 40% of the sample (n = 166). IE was less likely with receipt of mainstream benefits, compared to employment income (O.R. = .546, p = .032). IE was more likely for residents self-identifying as African-American (O.R. = 1.56, p = .037) and when children resided in the household (O.R. = 2.03, p = .013).ConclusionsDespite limitations of community-derived data, findings suggest that supportive housing providers consider income source and family status when designing interventions to decrease IEs. A CBPR approach is a promising framework to guide evaluation efforts for supportive housing programs.     

Young,anchored and free? Examining the dynamics of early housing pathways in Australia

Young people are remaining in the parental home for longer, and returning there more often, before attaining residential independence. In Australia, these patterns have prompted concerns about a ‘boomerang generation’ whose housing aspirations and decisions have either been directly questioned, or viewed as symptomatic of broader affordability issues. Employing a longitudinal perspective, we argue that early residential pathways reflect a mix of stable and dynamic influences involving individuals, their families, and their broader relationships. Using data from a large cohort (n = 2082) of young Australians participating in the ‘Our Lives’ research project, we examine housing pathway formation between the ages of 12/13 and 21/22. Events such as parental union dissolution or partnership formation were found to encourage home leaving, whilst being employed at a younger age and having grown up rurally predicted both leaving and remaining out of home. Close, supportive relationships with family and friends served to ‘anchor’ respondents at home for longer, and parental socioeconomic resources enabled respondents to leave home and return if needed. The findings suggest that early residential independence reflects various factors, not all of which are in young people’s control, and some of which may hinder the longer term sustainability of their living arrangements.
