The diploma thesis is a summary describing of the current housing situation in the area of the village Vyškov. It deals with comparing the normal rent of flats in different localities of the municipality and consider amendments to the lease in terms of amenities and size of dwelling. The figures are divided into flats for a 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and higher. Charting the market and its price in the lease is done both text and graphics.

During this time there was a flight of affluent white South Africans away from what was then the centre of the country’s economy, the Johannesburg Central Business District (Garner, 2011). There has been an increase in the size of South Africa’s black middle class post 1994, due to the removal of racist legislation impeding the economic advancements of black South Africans, as well as due to the progressive affirmative action policies designed to fast track the advancement of black South Africans (Southall, 2016). Consequently, there has been a steady increase of black middle class people moving into the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. The study was conducted in the Sandton suburbs of Johannesburg, Gauteng. It sought to understand what factors have led to the increase in demand for accommodation in these suburbs from the black middle class. 27 interviews were conducted with participants in the case study areas of Illovo, Sandton Central Business District, Sandown, Bryanston and Sandhurst. The researcher made use of direct observations during the semi-structured interviews. The results showed that research in this area was imperative as it helped to explain the buying and renting patterns of the black middle class. This is important for property developers and the government because the black middle class is a fast growing economic subgroup within the country. This can impact on policy and property development in the country. The study found that the black middle class are moving to the northern suburbs for pragmatic reasons and that proximity to their places of work, proximity to amenities and security are the most important factors causing them to move. / MT2017

Thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of the Built Environment (Housing), to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2017 / Johannesburg like many rapidly urbanising cities around the world has the problem of a lack of affordable accommodation and inadequate access to basic services (Tissington, 2013). Residents in the inner city use spaces and buildings in a way that reclaims the promises of the city to a better life. As historian and cultural theorist Abdou Maliq Simone (2004) has noted people within African Cities have a probable tendency to improvise. In this research I use the concept of evolutionary resilience, which has been described to account for individuals and households ability adapt in constantly changing environments (Simmie & Martin, 2010) to explore the responses of residents to precarious living conditions and vulnerability that is created by conditions of insecure tenure and evictions. There is little comparative empirical research about how inner city residents talk about their lives and experiences. This research contributes to filling this gap by examining the experiences of residents and highlighting the ways in which as Cirugeda (2004) points to, residents often use empowerment strategies that encourage inhabitants to subvert laws and regulations, in order to maximise self-help by appropriating structures for better living conditions (Cirugeda 2004). This research utilises in depth interviews that were conducted within selected buildings in the inner city using a semi structured interview guide. The objective is to examine the strategies of coping with the exposure to risk and how individuals respond to these shocks. Şoitu (undated) states that vulnerability is a situation of social, economic and physiological need when individuals are marginalised and resilience is a personal resource that allows individuals to face stress and shocks and provides strength (Şoitu, undated). This research finds that there are many difficulties, threats and vulnerabilities that residents are exposed to and residents invoke various strategies and responses for coping.

Sammanfattning Titel: Utmaningar vid ekonomistyrning för att uppnå hållbara mål-En fallstudie av Hyresbostäder i Norrköping AB Författare: Romina Chanko och Marsel El-Bazi Handledare: Robert Jonsson Nyckelord: Ekonomistyrning, kommunala bolag, Hyresbostäder, utmaningar, hållbarhet Bakgrund: Hållbarhetsaspekterna har blivit allt mer omdiskuterade i dagens samhälle. Därför är det viktigt för företag att visa sitt engagemang i dessa frågor. Användningen av ekonomistyrning möjliggör att verksamheter mer framgångsrikt uppnår hållbara mål. Tidigare studier har däremot visat att det finns en brist på mätsystem och praktiska exempel av verksamheters användning av ekonomistyrning för att uppnå hållbara mål. Syftet: Syftet med studien är att öka förståelse för hur ekonomistyrning används för att kunna identifiera utmaningar för kommunala bolag vid ekonomistyrning för att uppnå hållbara mål. Metod: Denna kvalitativa studie utgår från det hermeneutistiskt tolkningsperspektiv med en abduktiv ansats. En fallstudie har genomförts på Hyresbostäder i Norrköping AB genom dokumentstudier och semistrukturerade intervjuer. Slutsats: Studien visar att direktiven från Norrköpings kommun är otydliga och misslyckas att förklara hur, varför och vem som ska uppnå målen. En utmaning för Hyresbostäder är att bidra till allmännytta och agera på affärsmässig grund, vilket kan leda till motsägelsefulla målsättningar. Det finns även begränsade resurser och en intressekonflikt som leder till en obalans mellan hållbarhetsaspekterna. / Abstract Title: Challenges in financial control to achieve sustainable goals - A case study by Hyresbostäder in Norrköping AB Authors: Romina Chanko and Marsel El-Bazi Supervisor: Robert Jonsson Keywords: Financial management, municipal companies, rental housing, challenges, sustainability Background: Sustainability aspects have become increasingly debated in today's society, so it is also important for companies to show their commitment to these issues. The use of financial management enables businesses to more successfully achieve sustainable goals. Previous studies have, however, shown that there is a lack of measurement systems and practical examples of municipal companies use of financial control to achieve sustainable goals. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to increase understanding of how financial control is used to identify challenges for municipal companies in financial control to achieve sustainable goals. Method: This qualitative study is based on a hermeneutical perspective with an abductive approach. A case study has been carried out at Hyresbostäder in Norrköping AB through document studies and semi-structured interviews. Conclusion: The study shows that the directives from the municipality of Norrköping are unclear and fail to explain how, why and who should achieve the goals. A challenge for Hyresbostäder is to contribute to public benefit and act on a commercial basis, which can lead to contradictory objectives. There is as well limited resources and a conflict of interest that leads to an imbalance between the sustainability aspects.

A análise da bibliografia de referência sobre a questão habitacional mostra sua forte relação com as formas de apropriação do espaço e seus resultados na conformação dos núcleos urbanos. Nas metrópoles brasileiras, em especial na de São Paulo, se evidencia ainda que a eficácia do atendimento habitacional é prejudicada pela deficiência na efetiva inclusão social, motivada por fatores relacionados ao contexto e desenho das políticas públicas adotadas para o setor. Quando vinculadas exclusivamente ao conceito de propriedade, que entendem o atendimento como a oferta de um \"produto\", as políticas públicas dificultam e chegam a inviabilizar a estruturação e aplicação de novas opções de atendimento. Além disto, não garantem efetivamente que a família incorpore ao seu patrimônio o valor integral do imóvel. Certamente não podemos descartar os argumentos favoráveis à propriedade, mas o estímulo exclusivo a esta forma de acesso também acaba gerando distorções que só podem ser equilibradas através de uma oferta significativa de alternativas. Nossa hipótese é que opções de moradia através da locação se aproximam mais do conceito de atendimento habitacional como \"serviço\" e, em função disto, seriam adequadas como uma das opções de atendimento para famílias de baixa renda. O objetivo foi definir aspectos fundamentais para a modelagem e estruturação de novos programas a partir da observação ao longo do tempo de nossas próprias políticas habitacionais e de exemplos internacionais em quatro dimensões: formas de atendimento; agentes promotores; beneficiários; e fontes de financiamento e políticas de subsídio associadas. O Município de São Paulo foi escolhido como a referência de grande centro metropolitano nacional, em função tanto de sua enorme demanda por habitação quanto pela existência de experiências recentes de alternativas de atendimento habitacional complementares à aquisição do imóvel próprio. / The bibliography reference analysis on the housing issues shows its relationship with the different means of space appropriation and its results in urban conformation. In Brazilian metropolis, especially in São Paulo, it is evident that the effectiveness of the housing service is hampered by the deficiency in effective social inclusion; which is motivated for different factors related to the context and design of public policies adopted in this area. Public policies tend to hinder and even restrain the structuring and application of new ways of attendance when exclusively attached to the property concept, once understands it as an offer of a \"product\". Besides that, these public policies do not guarantee that families obtain the whole amount of the patrimony to their property. Certainly, we cannot discard arguments favorable to property, but exclusive stimulus to this way of access can also generate distortions and an imbalance that only significant supply and diversity of alternatives can solve. The thesis\' central discussion proposes that rental options in housing are closer to the concept of housing assistance as a \"service\" and thereby would be suitable as an option of attendance for low-income families. It also analyzes international examples and the Brazilian housing policies over time in four dimensions: housing access kind, promoter\'s agents, beneficiaries, funding sources and associated subsidy policies, to rescue the similarities, differences and potentialities of each one and then define fundamental aspects for the modeling and structuring of new programs. São Paulo county was chosen as the reference of one large Brazilian metropolitan center not only by its enormous demand for housing but also because of the existence of recent alternative experiments in housing attendance that complements the acquisition of the own property.

Thesis (M. Dev.) -- University of Limpopo, 2013 / The aim of the study was to carry out an analysis of the factors influencing tenants’ choice of residential property location in Mankweng Township. The study used both quantitative and qualitative research approaches. The structured questionnaire, interview and documented literature were used to collect data. The data were analysed using the SPSS statistical package and the Excel spread sheet. To this end, specific working objectives were formulated as follows: to identify the types of residential property in the study area, to determine the factors which influence the choice of residential property location in the study area and lastly, to compare the relationships that exist among the residents in Mankweng Township. The results of the research showed that among all the factors marital status, age, household’s size, race, education and income were not among the factors influencing the choice of residential location in Mankweng Township. However, gender, employment status, distance from city centre, hospital, place of worship, security or police station, water and electricity significantly influenced the choice of residential location choice in Mankweng Township. The study therefore recommends government to be more responsive and active in the provision of urban infrastructure and services in every neighbourhood. This will help address the major reason why tenants search for accommodation from one location to another. In addition, real estate investors should consider the availability of infrastructure before choosing a location for community development. Thus, when urban facilities and services are evenly distributed, this may enhance proper development in the community

The thesis examines the relationship between public health and questions of housing and poverty, in Melbourne, 1888- 1918. It is concerned with the way that with certain groups of people - local council workers, tenants of houses referred to as ‘slums’, and the owners of those houses - represented their experiences. And it seeks to place those representations in the context of the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century concern about the ‘housing problems’. It compares the public rhetoric of the housing reformers and politicians with letters written to the Melbourne City Council by landlords and tenants, and in doing so seeks to show that there were a whole range of housing ‘problems’ not addressed by the public discourse.

(Uncorrected OCR) ABSTRACT In Hong Kong, due to the government's strong intervention in the housing market, the housing subsidy system and rationing on owner-occupation and the public rental housing sector have significant impact on households' tenure decisions. As laid down in the first and second Long Term Housing Strategy respectively in 1987 and 1998. the government adopted an active policy of promoting home ownership towards privatization via various subsidies, like the Home Ownership Scheme (I IOS) and the I lome Purchase Loan Scheme (HPLS). During this period, property ownership was also regarded as an inflation-resistant investment and an effective wealth accumulation vehicle. Unfortunately, the property market slump following the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis has come to mean Ihe cessation of the "wealth escalator" function of property ownership. In view of lackluster property market and the political pressure, the government took the unprecedented decision on 13 November 2002 to extricate itself from the role as a direct provider of subsidized sale flats, allowing market forces to address the problem. A new Home Assistance Loan Scheme (HALS) was introduced on 2 January, 2003 as a phase process. On 14 July 2004. the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) also ceased the provision of 1IALS in order to be freed from the heavy financial burden. Currently, the subsidized home ownership of 1 long Kong is abolished. It is noted that structural changes that characterize the housing and labor markets in the new age of global economy are creating some impact on housing market behavior. As the risks arising from the higher incidence of unemployment, low wage work and volatile housing prices increase, homeowners now prudently, re-assess the terms and conditions before committing to mortgage arrangements. This research centers on investigating the determinants of tenure choice from the approved purchasers of HALS and their views over producer and customer subsidies to home ownership, i.e. HOS versus HALS. '1'hc findings in this paper reveal that factors like age, family structure and income of the household do carry weight in the decision-making process of property purchase. With diversifying social composition nowadays, singletons have become a growing source of homeowners in recent years. The research also indicates that despite certain reticence during the economic turmoil, home purchase instead of renting remains a fundamental priority, and stagnation in purchase is largely due to financial constraints. Moreover. homeowners are now more cautious in taking up loans and are generally more concerned about housing affordabilily and the early repayment of debt. Additionally, they are less inclined to attain higher social status through filtering up the housing ladder, and lend lo place more emphasis on use value, ontological security and / abstract / toc / Housing Management / Master / Master of Housing Management
