“…Therefore, differences in satisfaction might lead to selective mobility and thereby to segregation and high turnover rates. Policy-makers in many countries try to create stable, attractive and mixed neighbourhoods (Baum et al, 2010;Bolt et al, 2010;Cheshire, 2007), also by attracting higher income households to deprived urban restructuring neighbourhoods (Boschman et al, 2013). This research shows that there are differences between household types and between ethnic groups in how neighbourhood characteristics affect residential satisfaction.…”

a department of sociology, utrecht university, utrecht, the netherlands; b otB-Research for the Built environment, delft university of technology, delft, the netherlands ABSTRACT Residential satisfaction is a key variable in understanding residential mobility. Many researchers have studied the individual level and neighbourhood level determinants of satisfaction, however, very few have studied which neighbourhood characteristics affect satisfaction for whom. In this paper, ordered logit models are estimated, explaining satisfaction from neighbourhood characteristics, personal characteristics and interactions. These interactions test whether neighbourhood characteristics have similar effects on satisfaction for all individuals, or whether individual characteristics affect the size and direction of these effects. Satisfaction is found to be less affected by the share of ethnic minorities for ethnic minorities than for natives, because minorities are more satisfied in neighbourhoods with higher shares of their own ethnic group. Neighbourhood characteristics are found to have a stronger effect on satisfaction for owner-occupiers and parents with children than for others, however the impact of neighbourhood ethnic composition does not vary with tenure or household type.

“…Although it is beyond the scope of this paper to discuss these projects at great length, examples from the US include the Moving to Opportunity experiment (De Souza Briggs, Popkin, and Goering 2010), and the demolition and renewal of public housing estates through the HOPE VI program (Hackworth 2003;Popkin et al 2004). In Western Europe, policy responses generally entail the wholesale or partial demolition or restructuring of impoverished neighbourhoods (Kleinhans 2004;Andersson and Musterd 2005;Bolt, Phillips, and Van Kempen 2010). Dutch urban renewal policies have been particularly ambitious in altering the housing composition of "disadvantaged" urban neighbourhoods in an attempt to dissolve poverty concentrations and counter the corresponding accumulation of problems (Uitermark 2003).…”

“…The structure and operation of the market can dictate who is able to access housing, how property values impact on the distribution of wealth and, as such, are a major driver of social and spatial segregation (Bolt et al, 2010). Yet, while macroscale analyses of housing market dynamics have been the subject of considerable recent methodological innovation and have made a prominent contribution to policy debates globally, our understanding of the microfoundations of the market is less well developed, less coherent and has been less prominent in shaping policy and practice.…”

Defining spatial housing submarkets: Exploring the case for expert delineated boundaries

Although there are numerous reasons for real estate analysts to construct spatial housing submarkets, there is little clarity about how this might best be done in practice. The existing literature offers a variety of techniques including those based on principal components analysis, cluster analysis and a range of other statistical procedures. This paper asks whether, given their market expertise and their role in disseminating information, shaping search patterns and informing bid formation, real estate agents might offer an effective but less data intensive method of submarket construction. The empirical research is based on an experiment that compares the predictive of different sets of submarket boundaries constructed by using either standard statistical methods or through consultation with real estate agents and other market analysts. The analysis draws on housing transactions data from Istanbul, Turkey. While the results do not demonstrate the outright superiority of any single method, they do suggest that expert-defined boundaries tend to perform at least as well as alternative construction techniques. Importantly, the results suggest that agent-based methods for delineating submarket boundaries might be used with a degree of confidence by real estate analysts and planners in market contexts where rich micro-datasets are not readily available. This has been one of the constraints internationally on wider adoption of submarket boundaries as an analytical tool.
