Småhusbyggande i marknadssvaga Götalandskommuner : En studie i hur mycket det byggs och hur det finansieras / Building of single-family houses in weak markets in southern Sweden : A study of how many single-family houses are built and how they are financed

Elmersson, Åsa, Grafström, Joel January 2017 (has links)
Sverige räknas till blandekonomierna. Blandekonomin har sin utgångspunkt i marknadsekonomin men staten reglerar marknaden till viss del. Detta gäller också för bostadsmarknaden. Så utgångspunkten är således att marknaden ska styra priset på småhus genom tillgång och efterfrågan. Det är ena sidan. Den andra sidan är regleringarna. När det kommer till bostäder är det till exempel bolånetaket och amorteringskravet. Bolånetaket utgår från bedömt marknadsvärde. Är det ett begagnat hus räknas som regel försäljningspriset som marknadsvärde medan det i de fall det är ett helt nytt hus görs en förhandsvärdering inför byggnationen. Maximalt kan 85 procent av marknadsvärdet belånas, med fastigheten som säkerhet, för att finansiera ett husköp eller en nybyggnation. På attraktiva marknader är detta sällan något problem eftersom marknadsvärdet på nybyggnationerna oftast är högre än kostnaderna för att bygga huset. Men hur är det då i områden där det inte är så, utan där produktionskostnaderna istället ofta är högre än det förväntade marknadsvärdet? Rent teoretiskt borde det inte kunna byggas småhus i dessa områden med annat än att de som bygger satsar eget kapital och/eller lägger ner mycket eget arbete. Är det så verkligheten ser ut eller lånar bankerna trots allt ut pengar? Och byggs det några småhus överhuvudtaget i dessa områden? Med breda penseldrag har detta undersökts. Urvalet för studien är de femton kommuner i Götaland med lägst Tobins q-värde, det vill säga hade sämst relation i kvoten marknadspris på en befintlig bostad genom den totala produktionskostnaden för en likartad bostad ur Boverkets lista för år 2012. I studien har bygglovsstatistiken i undersökningskommunerna och jämförelsekommunerna studerats. Rapporten visar att det relativt sett byggs färre småhus i de undersökta kommunerna. I de femton undersökta kommunerna med svaga bostadsmarknader är medianvärdet 0,20 beviljade bygglov per tusen invånare. Motsvarande siffra för de tio mest folkrikaste kommunerna i Götaland är 0,69, nästan 3,5 gånger mer under samma år. Studien har också undersökt den teoretiska lönsamheten på de platser där bygglov utfärdats i de studerade kommunerna. En teoretisk produktionskostnad har antagits och en modell skapats för att kunna massvärdera samtliga bygglov med hjälp av taxeringsvärden. Resultatet med den här modellen ger att i 87 procent av fallen går det inte med säkerhet att säga att nybyggnationen är ekonomiskt lönsam vid färdigställandet. Slutligen har studien även undersökt hur nybyggnationerna finansieras genom att inteckningsbeloppen för varje nybyggt småhus har granskats. Av de nybyggnationer där interimistiskt slutbesked eller slutbesked har erhållits visar det sig att 20 procent av nybyggnationerna inte har några inteckningar alls och således har finansierats på annat sätt än genom lån med huset som säkerhet. Bedöms istället, utifrån datamaterialet, den teoretiska produktionskostnaden i förhållande till ett uppskattat marknadsvärde är knappt 50 procent av dessa nybyggnationer helt bankfinansierade. Således är cirka 30 procent av nybyggnationerna sannolikt delvis bankfinansierade. Även tecken på övervärdering av nya bostäder har uppmärksammats.

Retrofitting Vancouver's most sacred land use: the intensification of ground-oriented housing in single-family neighbourhoods

Patrick, Lyndon Lee 05 1900 (has links)
The Metropolitan Vancouver Region is expected to have a population of over 3.3 million within the next 25 years. As a designated growth concentration area, the City of Vancouver is expected to absorb 160,000 people by 2021. While existing plans will allow for future high density developments, 70% of the City's residential areas remain zoned explicitly for single-family use. The intensification of these single-family neighbourhoods is viewed as a way of using the existing housing stock and the existing residential land more efficiently. The intensification techniques that are appropriate for single-family neighbourhoods include: conversion, infill and redevelopment. Planners think that intensification efforts will not only alleviate some of the detrimental impacts of sprawl, but will also provide a more diversified housing stock that will be more appropriate for the needs of an increasingly complex society. Unfortunately, some existing residents have been extremely vocal in opposition to any intensification efforts in their neighbourhoods. The residents claim that any intensification will disrupt the character of their existing single-family neighbourhoods. While the arguments for retaining exclusive single-family neighbourhoods are specious at best, the NIMBY mentality of residents has often proved to be an effective form of opposition to intensification efforts. An approach for overcoming the NIMBY syndrome is a successful program of community outreach. Community outreach attempts to minimize community opposition and to rally support for the development within the community. Attention is focused on the residents who have not already become opponents of the development. A successful community outreach program will limit residents' factual misunderstandings and their exaggerated fears about the project's potential impacts. Negotiations should be undertaken with residents who are willing to compromise; residents who refuse to talk cooperatively should not be brought into the problem-solving process. Future plans for intensification must establish a sense of certainty in the way a neighbourhood will change. The exaggerated sense of fear that residents have about the potential changes in their neighbourhood is the biggest obstacle to overcome if the Metropolitan Vancouver Region is to successfully implement an intensification program into existing single-family neighbourhoods. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

No. of bitstreams: 1 victorhugogodoydonascimento.pdf: 2861007 bytes, checksum: a2a2d7ffa876b0832c4bc0649b4d9aeb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-07-27 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O reconhecimento do patrimônio em Juiz de Fora, iniciado pelo poder público municipal no início dos anos 1980, teve como um de seus pilares as habitações unifamiliares da região do Alto dos Passos. No entanto, a forma como essas edificações foram elevadas à categoria de patrimônio municipal foi pouco explorada nas pesquisas de âmbito local. Os “casarões”, como são frequentemente chamados, foram construídos na atual avenida Barão do Rio Branco entre o final do século XIX e meados do século XX. Trata-se de edificações erguidas pelos segmentos mais abastados da sociedade juiz-forana, sobretudo proprietários de fazendas de café e industriais locais. No início dos anos 1980 eram os especialistas da área que diziam o que era e o que não era patrimônio, consagrando, via de regra, as edificações construídas pelas elites. Assim, o principal objetivo deste trabalho é identificar de que forma os agentes do patrimônio em Juiz de Fora converteram algumas habitações unifamiliares da região do Alto dos Passos em patrimônio municipal. A partir dos discursos elaborados por esses agentes, presentes tanto nas publicações referentes ao tema quanto nos processos de tombamento de ditas edificações, propomo-nos a investigar, à luz da teoria atual do patrimônio, da memória, da história e do discurso, como se construiu parte do patrimônio da cidade de Juiz de Fora. As manifestações presentes nos processos de tombamento se mostram como uma oportunidade singular para identificar de que forma os agentes envolvidos recorrem a modalidades discursivas, com o intuito de se atingir os seus respectivos objetivos. O estudo dos agentes que influenciaram o processo de desenvolvimento da cidade demonstra tanto a complexidade das relações que existem entre o ambiente construído e o contexto social, econômico, cultural e político que permite a tomada de decisões sobre o espaço urbano, como também revela uma ideia da cidade que os indivíduos desejam construir, lembrar ou esquecer. / The acknowledgement of the heritage in Juiz de Fora, initiated by the municipal government in the early 1980s, had as one of its mainstays the single family houses of the Alto dos Passos region. However, little attention was given in the local level research to how these buildings were elevated to the category of municipal heritage. The often called "grand houses" were built in the current Baron of Rio Branco Avenue between the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth century. These are buildings erected by the wealthiest segments of Juiz de Fora’s society, especially owners of coffee farms and local industrialists. In the early 80s the experts in the field were the ones who said what was and what was not heritage, almost always electing the buildings constructed by the elites. Thus, the main objective of this work is to identify how the heritage agents in Juiz de Fora converted on municipal heritage some single family houses of the Alto dos Passos region. Based on the speeches elaborated by these agents wich are present both in publications on the topic as in preservation’s lawsuits of this buildings, we propose to investigate how part of Juiz de Fora’s heritage was built, using the current heritage, history and speech theory. The demonstrations present on preservation’s lawsuits appear as a unique opportunity to identify how those involved agents resort to discursive modes in order to achieve their respective goals. The study of agents that influenced the city's development process demonstrates both the complexity of the relationships that exist between the built environment and the social, economic, cultural and political context that allows decision-making on urban space, as also reveals an idea of the city that individuals want to build, remember or forget.

Förutsättningar för småhusbyggande i Dalsland / Prerequisites for building single-family houses in Dalsland

Johannesson, Marcus, Svensson, Sebastian January 2019 (has links)
Bakgrund: År 2012 tog Boverket fram ett Tobins q värde för alla kommuner i Sverige. Med Tobins q kan man beskriva den teoretiska lönsamheten vid nybyggnation av småhus genom att dividera marknadsvärdet på ett existerande hus med totala produktionskostnaden för en liknande bostad. Kommunerna i Dalsland fick Tobins q värden som låg mellan 0,0–0,79. Boverket skrev i sin rapport att ett Tobins q under 0,8 innebär försämrade möjligheter för nybyggnation, vilket samtliga Dalslandskommuner hade. Det gör det intressant att undersöka hur många småhus det byggs i Dalsland, om bostadsmarknadsläget har ändrat sig så att det idag går att bygga med teoretisk lönsamhet och hur marknadsläget skulle kunna förbättras så att det byggs mer. Metod: För att svara på hur många småhus som byggs sammanställdes data från plan- och byggavdelningarna från samtliga undersökta kommuner. Nya Tobins q värden för Dalslandskommunerna bedömdes genom att dividera ett genomsnittligt marknadsvärde för existerande hus med en beräknad totala produktionskostnaden för ett nytt hus. Marknadsvärden togs fram genom ortsprismetod. Ortprisanalysen visade att det fanns för få hus som passade in som jämförelseobjekt, därför delades hela Dalsland in i tre delmarknader istället. Lantligt, strandnära, och tätortsläge. Totala produktionskostnaderna för att bygga hus på varje delmarknad togs fram genom att sammanställa kostnaderna för tomt, hus, markarbeten och lov. Hur läget kan förbättras för att möjliggöra fler nybyggnationer har undersökts genom intervjuer med kommunalråd, plan- och byggavdelningar, fastighetsmäklare samt en banktjänsteman. Totalt har 13 intervjuer genomförts, varav tio var platsbesök och tre via telefon. Svaren på intervjufrågorna sammanställdes och analyserades för att skapa en övergripande bild av hur det kan skapas bättre förutsättningar för nybyggnationer i Dalslandskommunerna. Resultat: Hur mycket byggs det? År 2018 i Dalsland byggdes det 37 småhus vilket motsvarar 0,85 hus per 1000 invånare. Studien sträcker sig mellan 2013–2018, men den har inte visat på några signifikanta förändringar åt något håll gällande antal hus som byggs. Går det att bygga med lönsamhet? Nej, det är inte troligt att det blir lönsamt att bygga i Dalsland, men i vissa lägen går det att bygga utan att göra en förlust. Strandnära läge i Dalsland fick ett Tobin q på 0,99, vilket är högre än vad rikssnittet var Sverige 2012 då det låg på 0,9. De två andra marknaderna fick ett lite sämre resultat. Tobins q för Lantligt läges uppskattades till 0,75 medan tätort läge slutade på 0,68. På de marknaderna går det alltså inte att bygga med teoretisk lönsamhet enligt denna studie. Vilka förutsättningar krävs för att det ska byggas mer? Det finns två huvudanledningar till att det inte byggs mer än det gör enligt kommunerna. Den första är att Länsstyrelsen säger nej till dispens från strandskyddet vilket leder till att det inte går att skapa attraktiva tomter i strandnära lägen. Den andra är att det är svårt att få lån för att bygga småhus på grund av låga Tobins q-värden. Kommunernas förslag på lösningar går ut på att staten behöver göra ändringar, framförallt lagändringar eller tillägg till lagen. För att LIS ska fungera bättre ur deras synpunkt borde Länsstyrelsen tillämpa en generösare tolkning av strandskyddslagen, vilket skulle resultera i fler dispenser från strandskyddet. Lösningarna för att höjda deras Tobins q var fler. Exempel på dem är bidrag för nybyggnation av småhus på landsbygden, högre bidrag för flerbostadshus och sänka momsen på byggmaterial för att nämna några. / Background: In 2012 Boverket calculated a Tobins q for all municipalities in Sweden. Tobin q describes the theoretical profit when building a single-family house, by dividing market value of an existing house with the total production costs of a similar house. The municipalities in Dalsland had a Tobins q value between 0,0-0,79. Boverket wrote in their report that a Tobins q below 0,8 means worse possibilities for building new houses, which was true for all the municipalities in Dalsland. This makes it interesting to investigate how many single-family houses that are built in Dalsland, if the housing market has changes to a point that makes it possible to build houses with a theoretical profitability and what would enable more houses to be built. Method: To answer how many single-family houses that are built, data, from the planning and construction department was gathered and compiled. Tobins q for the Dalslands municipalities was assessed by dividing the average market value for an existing house with a calculated total production costs for a new house with the same standards. The market values were assessed by looking at sales of single-family houses with the same or similar standard as a new house. The analysis showed that it was too few sales that fit the criteria in all the municipalities, instead all Dalsland was divided in to three submarkets. Rural-, waterfront- and urban locations. The cost of building a new house was calculated for each submarket. The costs that were compiled was for building plot, house, foundation and planning permission. What it would take for the housing market to be improved to enable more houses to be built was investigated by conducting interviews with chiefs of municipals, the planning and construction department, real estate agent and a banker. Result: How much are being built? 2018 in Dalsland 37 single-family houses was built which results in 0,85 single-family houses per 1000 inhabitants. The study reaches from 2013-2018, but it has shown no clear signs of any changes of the amounts of house that is being built. Is it possible to build with theoretical profit? No, it's not likely that you will make a profit from building in Dalsland, but in some locations you can build without taking a loss. Waterfront locations got a Tobins q value of 0,99, which are higher than what the national average was in Sweden 2012 which was 0,9. The two other markets got a somewhat worse result. Rural location got a Tobins q value of 0,75 while urban location got a Tobins q value of 0,68. This study shows that you can't build single-family houses on those locations and make a theoretical profit. What would it take for the housing market to be improved to enable more house to be built? The two biggest obstacles according to the municipalities are that the County Administrative Board are turning down requests for dispensation from the Beach Protection Act and that it is hard for people to get a loan to build houses because of the low Tobins q value. Their proposal for solutions are that the state needs to make changes, especially legislative changes or additions. For LIS to work better from their point of view, the County Administrative Board should apply a more generous interpretation of the Beach Protection Act, which would result in more dispensations from the coastal protection. They had more solutions for raising their Tobins q value. Examples of these are: grants for new construction of small houses in the countryside, higher grants for apartment buildings and lower the VAT on building materials to name a few.

Behavior Related Energy Use in Single-Family Homes : A Study on residential houses in Sweden

Ghasemi, Milad January 2015 (has links)
Complete overview of energy use in a residential building is depends on many different factors. When analyzing proper and effective ways for energy reducing/conserving systems, often times only technological solutions for households appliances are considered. Human behavior has been shown to be an important factor affecting the overall energy use in the household. Many aspects of energy use are directly connected to user behavior and are affected by how the user utilizes available systems. This paper focuses on describing the mean influencing causes of human environmental psychology based on study on a Swedish suburb community, called Fårdala. User behaviors and actions affecting residential energy use are analyzed and presented in form of eleven (11) abstract triggers to households energy use. Finally an energy monitoring system based on the findings are purposed. What is found from study on human psychology, shows that human behavior is mainly controlled by three (3) key categories of behavior. Conscious/voluntary behavior, Socio-environmental/cultural based behavior and Systemic/learned behavior. Out of the three, while the last one poses as most influential on behavior related energy use, it is also the hardest to affect and change. To effectively counteract the negative effects of user behavior on residential energy use, energy saving devices should react more accordingly to the users and offer engagement. Such a system is an energy monitoring device, which allows for a “double-sided” communication with the user. The user is presented with relevant information about real-time energy use of all of the systems and is able to make changes on the fly. The system should also be able to learn and apply energy saving actions based on user behavior.

Effects of Energy Performance Improving Measures on a 1990's Brick House in Southern Czech Republic : Computer Simulations using IDA-ICE

Panek, Vaclav January 2023 (has links)
The residential sector was responsible for 25% of the Final Energy Demand (FED) in the European Union in 2015. Countries in Central and Eastern Europe such as the Czech Republic are particularly concerned with ensuring security of supply at the lowest possible cost in recent years. FED for space heating still corresponds to the largest fraction of the total FED in the residential sector in the Czech Republic. The vast majority of buildings constructed in 1990- 2000 do not comply with current standards for thermal protection and owners often rely on their own financial means when attempting to improve the overall Energy Performance (EP) of buildings. The goal(s) associated with renovation- or refurbishment measures must be defined to clarify the extent of work and consequently minimize investments. The aim of this thesis, a case study, was to use a whole building energy simulation program (IDA-ICE) to get insight into the potential of different retrofitting measures (represented by scenarios) to improve EP of a single-family summer house located in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. One of the simulated scenarios was the owner ́s suggestion to replace windows and entrance doors. The goal was to reduce FED for space heating to ≤50 kWh.m-2 floor area and year and by doing so attaining the status of a low-energy building. Simultaneously, reduced FED for space heating was supposed to be achieved without compromising air quality and should involve only the most efficient refurbishment measures to minimize the overall work. The scope was strictly limited to EP improving measures without consideration of mechanical ventilation or modification of the currently used space heating system. It was concluded that the owner's suggestion to merely replace windows and entrance doors would be an insufficient solution. SC-4 (i.e. the combined effect of windows and entrance doors replacement and the ground-floor insulation) and SC-5 (i.e. the combined effect of ground-floor insulation and the insulation of external walls and the roof) were deemed to represent the most optimal solutions from the simulated EP improving measures. The goal was achieved in both, i.e. 46.8 kWh.m-2 floor area and year in SC-4 and 44.3 kWh.m- 2 floor area and year in SC-5. Averages of zone air temperatures in selected zones were found to be more stable in SC-4, however, SC-5 performed better when comparing averages of CO2 concentration-values in selected zones on the first floor. Nevertheless, averages of relative humidity and CO2 concentration-values in all simulated scenarios were within the acceptable range of 35-60% and about 520 to 1000 ppm respectively (except for Bedroom 2 zone).

Investigation of impact of detached house buildings orientation on energy saving result of renovation scenarios and energy generation of installed PV panels in Växjö

Ali, Hassan January 2023 (has links)
Most of the detached houses in Sweden were built more than 30 years ago, and most of them are oldand need a deep renovation. The renovation is an excellent opportunity to apply the energy measure witha combination of renewable energy such as PV solar, which could be a great option to reduce energyconsumption and contribute to reducing greenhouse emissions. For this reason, selecting effectiverenovation scenarios for buildings could be important and challenging. One of these challenges isapplying typical scenarios for one archetype's buildings. A building could be in the same archetypeswith similar geometry and properties but in different directions. In this study, the researcher aims toinvestigate the yearly heat demand energy saving of buildings from one archetype, the same renovationscenario, and the same area but in four different directions, 0-30-60-90 degrees from the south (casestudies).This project's additional aim is to examine the electricity generation from PV when installedon one and both sides for four houses in the same area in four different directions, 0-30-60-90 degreesfrom the south. Design Builder software was used as a graphical user interface through the Energy Plus engine. In thisway, the heat demand of case studies was simulated for different scenarios (Standard renovation andadvanced renovation) in the Växjö region. The results from the simulation of the houses with differentdirections showed that the heat demand energy decreased by, on average, 20% for standard and 28% foradvanced renovation. The comparison of the case studies with the same renovation scenario concludesthat they are no differences in the heat energy savings, which means the direction of the building has nobig impact on the energy saving of the renovation scenario in the Växjö region. The installation side ofthe PV has no impact on the annual electricity generation from PV for the house with a direction of 0degrees from the south. For the other houses, the yearly electricity generation from the PV increased by36.8% with one side on the roof (South direction). House number 4 is the best direction to install PVwith one side on the roof (south direction), and house 3 is the next best direction to install PV on oneside. When installed on both sides of the roof, the annual electricity generation from the PV decreased by5,3% with four houses in different directions. The changes are not so high may be due to the weather ofthe Växjö, which is 65 % cloudy according to the weather data file from TMY. Another reason is thatthe PV was installed on both sides of the pitched roof. When the houses have different directions, 0 to90 degrees from the south, that may be increased the electricity generation from the PV on one side andreduce it on the other.

Energy audit of a century-old single-family house in Sweden

González Gutiérrez, Estíbaliz, Torras Ribera, David January 2024 (has links)
The Swedish residential sector uses 140 TWh of energy, making the residential sector the largest energy user. The Swedish single-family houses (SFHs) are responsible for 12 % of the final energy use. From those dwellings, there are 417 909 single-family houses built before 1930.On the basis of the above information, the Swedish residential building stock is considered to be of relatively high age. Due to this situation, there is a great potential for the implementation of energy saving measures. This work consists in a study case of a single-family house (SFH) built in Stråtjära which uses electricity and wood as energy carrier, the aim in this dwelling is to propose measures to reduce energy expenditure proposing cost-effective measures and reaching a minimum label of bronze category in the Miljöbyggnad energy use indicators. At first, a literature review was performed to observe the renovation strategies previously applied in similar studies. A quantitative and empirical approach was completed, where energy data from the bills of 2023-2024 together with on-site data collection were combined as a way to determine the energy entering and leaving the dwelling. The research was conducted with the help of the IDA ICE energy simulation program, to monitor the energy and ventilation performance of the dwelling. The results obtained from the simulation and hand calculations indicated that there was room to improve the property. Namely, the calculations concluded that the ventilation and the primary energy number need to be improved to meet the Swedish building regulations. Furthermore, the installation of photovoltaic (PV) modules to meet part of the electricity demand could helped to improve the energy situation. Finally, the reduction of electricity use was focused on the efficient use of electricity, avoiding the electricity consumption in unused rooms, such as the guest room, and the reduction of heat/thermal losses through the insulation of the envelop. The methodology used consisted of two different scenarios, one that meets the objectives of monetary savings and economic viability and the other that seeks to comply with the requirements imposed by the Swedish authorities in terms of energy efficiency.

Market structure and economic status for firms producing single-family houses in Sweden

Lindblad, Fredrik January 2016 (has links)
The gradually changing behavior of the population, towards urbanization, ledto an increased shortage of available housing. This development has resultedin a serious issue in Sweden, where too few firms are providing solutions formulti-family houses in wood. Potential firms that could fill this increasingdemand are those in the single-family house industry. Yet, these firms mightface considerable problems with productivity, predominately derived fromincreasing production costs and inadequate production development.Developing these firms are associated with long-term investments, whichis investigated by evaluating the industry structure for sellers, highlightingthe financial and market situation within their industry. These factors aregrowing in importance due to the current market concentration, where morefirms are required to focus on product development driven by the demand toprefabricate wooden elements, volumes or modules in an industrialized way.This thesis studies Swedish firms producing wooden single-familyhouses, with the aim to investigate their possibilities to enter the woodenmulti-family house industry in Sweden.Investigations will be conducted by applying Altman’s Z’ value, riskposition model, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, the Herfindahl-Hirschmannumber equivalent, productivity ratio model for profitability and finally amodel measuring market Concentration Ratio.Results show that the industry tends towards perfect competition with toomany firms involved, i.e. firms mainly have to compete by prices. Further,firms are grouped into three zones; risk, grey or safe zone. The levels withinthese zone show a reduction of firms in the red zone over time. Related to thecurrent risks, many firms have promising positions to invest in productdevelopment towards wooden multi-family houses, in addition to theircurrent products, even though firm productivity has declined during thestudied time frame. The results that the investigated firms have goodpossibilities gaining a competitive advantage by diversifying into thegrowing wooden multi-family house industry.

Os bairros Jardim Estoril: a atuação das empresas Martha no setor sul de Bauru-SP (1957-2008) / The Neighborhoods Jardim Estoril: the role of Martha companies in the southern sector of Bauru- SP (1957-2008)

Capelozza, Ana Carolina Alvares 17 June 2016 (has links)
Esta dissertação estuda os processos de formação e produção de bairros exclusivos para a população de alta renda, que se concentram no setor sul de Bauru-SP. O recorte espacial é definido pelos cinco loteamentos Jardins Estoril, com área aproximada de 110 hectares, de propriedade de uma única família. A aprovação do primeiro loteamento estritamente residencial unifamiliar, o Jardim Estoril 1, em 1957, e a implantação do último, o Residencial Jardim Estoril 5, em 2008, definem o recorte temporal. Através da análise da inserção da família Martha em Bauru, da atuação de suas empresas no mercado imobiliário, dos processos de aprovação, implantação e comercialização dos loteamentos e dos investimentos públicos no setor sul, mostra-se como a concepção de loteamento estritamente residencial unifamiliar se mantém, ao mesmo tempo em que se adéqua às demandas do setor imobiliário, ao longo de cinquenta anos. / This essay studies the formation and produce of exclusive neighborhoods to highincome population that is concentraded in the southern sector of Bauru-SP. The spacial area is defined by the five allotments Estoril yard, with an area of 110 hectares approximately, owned by a single family. The approval of the first strictly single-family residential allotment, the Estoril 1 yard, in 1957, and the implantation of the last one, the Residential Estoril 5 yard, in 2008, set the temporal cut. Through the analysis of Marthas family involvement in Bauru, of the approval processes, implantation and marketing of housing developments and public investments in the southern sector, shows itself as the design of strictly single-family residential subdivision remains, at the same time that fits the demands of the real estate sector over fifty years.
