“…Enduring efforts and prompt support from both local and central governments are necessary to achieve this conversion for public libraries. Beyond this, policy-makers could adopt measures to transform public libraries from basic facilities to complex systems with various educational and cultural programs (Gu, 2019;Seoul Metropolitan City, 2019).…”

Background and objective A great deal of previous research has highlighted the value of educational and cultural facilities embedded in housing prices, by taking a large spatial area as the focus, such as the city or district level. However, few studies have investigated the extent to which educational and cultural facilities influence the formation of housing prices from an accessibility perspective. This study aims to identify the value of educational and cultural facilities embedded in the housing prices in Seoul Metropolitan City with a focus on the concept of the residents’ neighbourhood and accessibility. Methods To this end, this research used a spatial regression model with educational and cultural facilities as the independent variables and housing prices as the dependent variable. The model assessed the accessibility of cultural and educational facilities by considering geographic effects. Results The findings are as follows. First, the spatial error model was found to be the best fit for multi-unit housing, while the spatial lag model was more appropriate for single-unit housing and apartments. Second, private educational facilities and art museums had positive effects on single- and multi-unit housing prices, while historical sites had a negative effect. Finally, private educational facilities positively influenced apartment prices, whereas public libraries and urban park areas had a negative effect. Conclusion These findings indicate that the accessibility of educational and cultural facilities reflects residents’ preferences and needs, which will ultimately influence housing prices.

“…Some recent research (Reid, 2015;Scanlon et al, 2018) suggests that private apartment residents may be satisfied with few local relationships, supporting the "community liberated" argument that modern relationships are liberated from geographical constraints, with benefits gained from relationships further afield (Wellman, 1979). However, needs and desires for local social connection are likely highly diverse (Forrest et al, 2002;Gu, 2020;Virtala, 2015). Other research has found that apartment residents desire more local social connection (Easthope et al, 2017;Hirvonen & Lilius, 2019).…”

Although an ever-increasing number of social interactions are taking place virtually, people's relationships with their neighbors remain important. Apartment residents make up a growing proportion of the population in cities worldwide, but there is evidence that many find it challenging to form and maintain local social connections, especially those renting their home. This can negatively impact physical and mental health, and have implications for the management of apartment complexes and local area social sustainability. In this paper, we draw on interviews (n=41) with renters of four large case study condominium complexes in Sydney, Australia, to investigate their local social interactions. The findings reveal that while many renters desire greater local connection, their opportunities and motivations are limited by factors relating to mobility, tenure security, prejudice, and exclusion from building-related governance.The paper concludes by considering the scope for interventions in design, management and governance to enhance opportunities for social connection.

“…Central squares and plazas, small open spaces, playgrounds and wellconnected buildings increase social interaction, and resident wellbeing can be increased by green spaces, community facilities, libraries, pools and gyms. Even online communities, the placement of roads and pathways within the precinct, and the provision of ground-level parking rather than underground garages have been found to increase social relations (Gu 2020).…”
