According to the statistic of Ministry of internal affair, the single-parent families of Taiwan have increased substantially, where the traditional family structure are gradually being altered. The most significant change of the single parent families are that in traditional families, male tend to supply the income sources. A survey, based on the status-quo of single-parent families in Taiwan during 2001, indicates that those single parent families require social welfare which includes economic support, consultation, education of children, employment, residential, and etc. . Other surveys have further their studies on the residency of the single parent families from different prospects, that includes the problem of housing ownership, the need for residential welfare, living experience and status quos. Others studies, specifically based on the single-parent families housing of the city area, indicate that it is essential to pay more attention on the residential problems and difficulties. In addition, the above mentioned studies have found that the percent of female single parent families to own housing is lower than that of the male single parent families. This result shows that the tendency for the single female parent families to rent for residence in the city. Therefore, this study will be based on the single female parent families of the Kaohsiung city area, hoping to understand the residential problems and situations that are associated with the single female parents and subsequently, find whether rental residential welfares are required.
This study discovered, the variables which affect single female parents renting behaviors are rents and children for that these two variables will significantly affect other variables, such as location, sharing renting, or group residence. As a result, besides cheap rent, others factors such as residential discrimination, stable environment, rental information, free moving assistance, housing repair are welfare that the single female parents are some of the items these families need. In addition, an observation specifically on the housing welfare proposition provided by the government found that there are room for improvement, for instance the two year living constraint, location of the houses are not suitable, and ceiling on rent subsidies. As a result, this study is hoping that government and associated agencies could think more dynamic when it comes to housing welfare policies.

A hedonic model for off-campus student housing : the value of location, location, location / Title on signature form: Hedonic model for off campus student housingFields, Terry J. 06 August 2011 (has links)
This study presents a hedonic model for off-campus student housing, using a semi-logarithmic model, with the natural log of unit rent as the dependent variable. Implicit values for select structural and locational characteristics were estimated, with a special emphasis on the variable of proximity to campus. Variable data for off-campus student housing in six university markets was collected. The results indicate a nonlinear relationship between rent and distance from the academic center of campus. Within one mile of campus, there is a significant premium for proximity, but between one and four miles from campus, the marginal value levels off before decreasing again beyond the four mile mark. The premium for being within one mile of campus ranged from 16.3% to 17%, and the discount for being outside four miles from campus equaled 13%. Other noteworthy characteristics and coefficients include the marginal value of an additional bedroom with a positive coefficient of roughly 21% and the inclusion of internet and cable with a premium of 12.4% to 15%. / Department of Family and Consumer Sciences

The Allmännytta – for the Market or for the Many? : A qualitative study on competing ideals in Swedish public rental housing during the current housing shortageHenriksson, Tove January 2018 (has links)
The majority of Sweden’s municipalities have for the last decade reported a housing shortage. This housing shortage, created by a combination of low construction rates and a rapidly growing population, has resulted in the biggest building boom Sweden has seen since the Million Dwellings Program. Although building rates are high, there is a continuous trend of housing becoming increasingly expensive, and the housing shortage today is mainly that of affordable rental housing. During the great housing shortage of the 20th century, the allmännytta, Sweden’s public rental companies was created and their role has traditionally been to provide affordable rental housing for all. Since the 1990s this role has changed and in 2011 the allbolagen 2010:879 was implemented, requiring these previous non-profit companies to act according to business principles, in addition to being socially responsible. This thesis investigates the role of Swedish public rental companies in regards to the current housing shortage and in the light of this law change. This is done through the use of qualitative interviews with representatives of the municipality, the tenant’s association and the allmännytta in the cities of Uppsala, Västerås and Örebro. The study finds that the business principles of the allbolagen 2010:879 is interpreted in different ways by the different allmännytta companies. It further finds that the role of the allmännytta in regards to the housing shortage still is to build rental housing, but the limitations created by the requirement of business principles makes this increasingly difficult as the allmännytta cannot act in ways different from the private sector. Instead they try to take their role of being socially responsible through other, related projects and by housing a disproportionally large amount of those incapable of acquiring housing on their own. Affordability is also increasingly made difficult as the municipality set related goals for the allmännytta’s housing construction, such as sustainability, which pushes prices up. Originally created to deal with the housing shortage of the 20th century, the gradual changes of housing politics since the 1990s renders the allmännytta as neither responsible nor capable to deal with the housing shortage of today by providing and constructing affordable housing. The study finds that the role of the allmännytta in regards to the housing shortage is conflicting, as older ideals of the Folkhem and newer principles of neoliberalism are entangled.
