Separate and Unequal: The Housing Act of 1968 and the Section 235 Program

In recent years scholars have identified racial disparities in wealth and home ownership as crucial factors underlying patterns of racial inequality and residential segregation in American metropolitan housing markets. While numerous federal housing policies have been identified as responsible for reinforcing residential segregation and racial inequalities in home ownership, little research has focused on the segregative effects of the Section 235 program. As one component of the 1968 Housing Act, Section 235 was designed to shift the focus of federal housing policy away from dispensing aid to local housing authorities for building public housing to providing direct supply-side subsidies to the private sector to stimulate home ownership for nonwhites and the poor. Archival and census data, government reports and housing analyses, and oral histories and interviews are used to examine the segregative effects of the Section 235 program in Kansas City, Missouri from 1969 through the early 1970s. Findings indicate that while the housing subsidy program allowed a vast majority of participating white families to purchase new housing in suburban areas, most participating African American families purchased existing homes located in racially transitional neighborhoods in the inner city. These findings corroborate recent research showing how the market-centered focus of federal housing policy has impaired the ability of African Americans to accumulate wealth through home ownership and reinforced racially segregative housing patterns.     

财产保险火灾风险评价方法与标准制定的研究

财产保险火灾风险评价方法及其标准的制定在我国处于空白状态。根据安全系统工程学的思想，提出了基于财产保险的建筑火灾风险评价指标体系的建立方法，利用层次分析方法确定各指标的权重，并根据科学性和操作性的原则对指标的评价尺度进行了划分；在此基础上得出了建筑火灾风险综合分值评分表和核保和费率浮动方法。结果表明:利用层次分析方法确定各指标权重的方法是比较科学的，权重分布比较符合实际情况。结果显示:基于安全系统工程学思想的方法，可以为火灾保险国家标准的制定提供帮助。     

Mobility and Privilege Within Queer Studies and University

In this essay, the author considers how classist divisions present within queer studies may well be exacerbated by the institutionalization of queer studies within university. In particular, she examines the class privilege that attends both queer theory's and university's deployment of travel metaphors. In both cases, the language of travel is the potentially empowering language of intellectual agility and social mobility. Importantly, though, both queer theorists' and university administrators' employment of travel metaphors often serves to reaffirm cultural hegemony, specifically to sustain rather than to examine and combat social oppression. This sad irony is particularly apparent when one compares university representations of commuter and residential students. Thus, the question that faces universities is how to keep queer studies critically queer so that universities can recognize and address the various forms or models of social mobility that are present on their campuses, commuter as well as residential.     

基于Surfer软件与GIS空间分析方法的中小城镇住宅地价空间分布规律的研究——以福建省德化县为例

运用2002--2006年住宅用地定级及基准地价评估资料，综合运用Surfer软件与GIS空间分析方法，分析德化县住宅地价空间分布规律。结果表明：Surfer软件与GIS空间分析原理相结合的方法，能够形象直观地描述城镇地价分布规律。对德化县的分析显示，从整体上看，城镇住宅地价的分布在空间上具有连续性，局部存在变异性；城镇住宅地价变化具有空间差异性；交通条件对地价空间分布具有至关重要的影响；城市扩展会带动扩展轴向的区域住宅地价明显升高。

Establishing a Parenting Program for Fathers in Substance Abuse Treatment

This paper describes a systemic, trauma and attachment model for a parenting program for fathers in residential substance abuse treatment. It emphasises the complex nature of delivering parenting programs in this context and the importance of going beyond simple linear principles of reward and punishment, upon which many other parenting programs are predicated.
