“…Two papers in the context of Istanbul, Turkey, tackle housing and residential environments in this rapidly growing urban context. In essence, the two papers are complementary where Gür and Yüksel (2019) explore the evolution of housing typologies, while Türkoğlu et al (2019) examine residential satisfaction. On the one hand, Gür and Yüksel conduct a classification procedure addressing various typologies with the aim of providing a comprehensive understanding of the urban housing stock and the emerging trends in Istanbul.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a brief review of the latest developments of Archnet-IJAR: International Journal of Architectural Research while introducing ephemeral observations on the papers published in Vol. 13 No. 1, March 2019. Design/methodology/approach Through a classification of topical contents and an identification of the procedures employed in the studies published in this edition, a reflective narrative on emerging concepts and themes is developed to acknowledge and briefly outline these studies. Findings The discussion conveys the multiplicity and diversity in architectural and urban research where seven themes are identified from 13 papers contributed by researchers from academic institutions in eight countries. Themes include spheres of inquiry; autism and the spatial environment; communication dynamics and professional practice; assemblage aesthetic and place attachment; housing and urbanity in Istanbul; placemaking and sustainability in the Gulf; and from the Doric order to State mosques. Originality/value Establishing key characteristics of various types of research and the originality and values involved would enable engaged and enhanced contributions in architectural and urban research. The identification of themes stimulates the re-thinking of responsive concepts and issues of concerns while invigorating future research endeavors.

“…Within the formal typologies row houses, separate houses, apartments, social housing, core housing and mass housing can be addressed. In the informal category, gecekondus, slums; inbetween–apartkondus, unpermitted construction/building extensions are listed as the main typologies (2019). Istanbul is the cultural, economic and information center in Turkey, with a high urbanization rate, and metropolitan characteristics (Gür and Dülgeroğlu-Yüksel, 2019).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to understand how the residents have utilized domestic spaces and furniture during three months' lockdown time for the Covid-19 virus spread measures and to explore how domestic living practices were adjusted which had been the daily urban activities previously.Design/methodology/approachThe research method is a qualitative interpretivist philosophical approach with a quantitative data collection. Short questionnaires were conducted via e-mails with attached links via SurveyMonkey. The sample was the group of people who had been in active urban life before the pandemic and had been actively working at the office spaces.FindingsSeparate learning/working spaces were urged at home, at least for the set intervals in the daytime. Production in the kitchen also acted as an interactive production and entertainment. Balconies and terraces were re-discovered and acted as “urban-substitute open spaces”. The living room became the new venue for domestic interaction especially during working-learning breaks, for watching movies, personal care or reading sessions. Computers, tablets and smartphones became the urban activity base due to online meeting applications for social reasons, online shopping, working and learning. The separation of domains at home became essential.Research limitations/implicationsThe study only focuses domestic uses of white-collar workers; during the lock-down period, Covid-19 pandemic. Sampling constraints are the employees who were active urban life before the pandemic and working at the office space. Sharing the house at least with one other roommate, sibling or spouse with or without children. Individuals who had not been working outside the home before the pandemic, people aged over 65, retired, permanent home workers, housewives, freelancers and other such demographic structures are excluded from the study.Social implicationsDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first wave lockdown began between early March–June 2020, and millions of people were confined to the dwellings. “Staying home” stood for working-learning-shopping-interacting online, more production in the kitchen, using the living room as a domestic multi-functional venue, spending time on the terraces and balconies as domestic open spaces. The active living in the urban context dramatically shifted to “at-home living”.Originality/valueThe study only focuses on the three months' interval in which strict rules for staying home were enforced in Istanbul, Turkey. Schemas, charts and tables are generated concerning the input. The study challenges the making meaning via praxis of “to dwell” and urban living. Nevertheless, the main questions of housing such as production, social aspects, shared spaces, interaction are re-configured and the substitute urban space is created at home.

“…During the past 20 years, gated communities have increased in all the metropolises around the world (Gur and Yuksel, 2019). Many of the researchers have quoted "gated community" in their studies and defined the term "gated community" in their own ways.…”

“…Grant and Mittelsteadt (2004) defined gated community as "a housing development on private roads closed to general traffic by a gate across the primary access, surrounded by fences, walls or other natural barriers that further limit public access." Gated communities are relatively closed to the external world, and residents of these communities are elite persons who would like to use the quality of their houses as symbol of reputation and status (Gur and Yuksel, 2019). Gated communities are the part of urbanization progression and have been developed to fit the people's demands, who are searching for better lifestyle and high quality of life (Rafiemanzelat, 2016).…”

Purpose This study examines the effect of housing environment on residents’ satisfaction and happiness using the data collected from selected residents of Gurugram, an urban locality in India. Design/methodology/approach Using the convenience-cum-judgmental sampling technique, data was collected from 321 residents of 17 gated private housing estates and tested by performing factor analysis and partial least squares – structural equation modeling. Findings The results revealed that maintenance service at housing estates significantly influences residents’ satisfaction followed by social infrastructure, dwelling attributes and residential amenities, whereas the accessibility aspect has no significant impact on residents’ satisfaction and happiness. Results also show a significant impact of social infrastructure on residents’ happiness, and most notably, residents’ satisfaction has a significant influence on their happiness. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study are likely to provide valuable insight into housing stakeholders (government officials; real estate developers; property and construction professionals, i.e. planners, architects and maintenance managers) to improve the attributes in urban housing setting and neighborhood facilities to upsurge the residents’ satisfaction and happiness level toward the housing estates and townships, which leads to quality and happiness in residents’ life. Originality/value According to the authors’ knowledge, the present study is the first to provide an inclusive way toward showcasing the key antecedents of residents’ satisfaction and happiness in the Indian urban housing context. Authors anticipate that future researchers will find present research as a valuable contribution to the residents’ satisfaction and happiness in urban housing planning and revitalization of urban locations.
