Racionalizacija subvencij za lastnosti zelenih stanovanj: pristop izraženih preferencZaradi ogromne količine porabljene energije in virov v stanovanjski gradnji so vlade mnogih držav prepoznale potrebo po nujnem spodbujanju zelenih oziroma okolju prijaznih stanovanj, da bi omogočile trajnostni razvoj tega področja. Poleg uvajanja ustreznih predpisov lahko vlade spodbudijo investitorje, da v gradnjo vključijo zelene elemente, tako da jim ponudijo različne oblike subvencij. Dodelitev tovrstnih subvencij pa pogosto ni ekonomična. Teoretično gledano lahko tržne sile vodijo k zagotavljanju zelenih stanovanj brez vladnega poseganja, če so akterji na trgu za zelene elemente stanovanj pripravljeni plačati več. V tem okviru so v članku predstavljeni izsledki raziskave, v kateri so avtorji na podlagi strukturirane ankete, izvedene v Macau, primerjali potencialno pripravljenost kupcev stanovanj, da plačajo za različne lastnosti zelenih stanovanj. Preučevane stanovanjske lastnosti so obsegale rabo zelenih materialov (na primer trajnostni gozdni proizvodi) in načinov gradnje (na primer montažna gradnja), energijsko učinkovite tehnologije (na primer LED-razsvetljava) in naprave za varčevanje z vodo (na primer sistem za prečiščevanje odpadne sanitarne vode). Ugotovitve kažejo, da so na pripravljenost anketirancev v glavnem vplivale finančne spodbude. Lastnosti zelenih stanovanj, ki lahko prinašajo neposredno finančno korist, so se ujemale z večjo pripravljenostjo za plačilo (PZP). Na koncu članka so predstavljeni mogoči vplivi raziskovalnih izsledkov na politiko obravnavanega področja.
Dog guardianship has gained popularity in many cities as a result of animal domestication. In spite of its benefits, dog guardianship in high-density urban housing creates certain problems, including increased health risks. Conflicts between different interested parties over the right to keep dogs have therefore surfaced. In Hong Kong, a lawsuit was initiated by a resident in a private housing estate, Mei Foo Sun Chuen, to overturn dog bans imposed by the property management company. The court’s judgment stated that dog bans are enforceable only if dogs are explicitly prohibited in the deed of mutual covenant. This study aims to value empirically the right to keep dogs in private housing based on an analysis of a set of housing transaction data in Hong Kong. It also investigates how the value of the right has changed with the court judgment. The findings suggest that the right was negatively valued by the market, but the court judgment increased its value. These results demonstrate a revealed preference of the Hong Kong community for dog guardianship in a high-rise living environment.
