“…Through a literature review, a number of determinants of building conditions were identifi ed. These determinants include building age ( Carley, 1990 ;Diacon, 1991 ;O ' Dell, 1991 ;Spivack, 1991 ;Wong et al ., 2005a, b ;Ho et al ., 2008 ), development scale ( Werczberger and Ginsberg, 1987 ;Leather and Mackintosh, 1992 ) and building management mode such as whether a statutory owners ' association has been formed or if an external property management company has been employed ( Werczberger and Ginsberg, 1987 ;Ho et al ., 2006 ).…”

Like many other developed cities, Hong Kong has been suffering from acute problems of urban decay. To solve this building crisis, knowledge of the condition profi le of all buildings in Hong Kong is vital. A territory-wide evaluation of building conditions is required for providing valuable information to public organisations to prioritise action areas and facilitate resource allocation. Through such an exercise, the inherent problem of information asymmetry in building conditions can be resolved by means of screening or labelling. Buildings in better condition will be rewarded with a premium in property price, and this can foster a culture of building care through market forces. Assessing the performance of the whole stock of buildings in the city, however, can be a lengthy and costly process. In this light, this study proposed a practical but justifi able alternative for jump-starting the process. In the proposal, exogenous factors that could explain the variations in building conditions are explored using actual assessment information, and these determinants are used to estimate the conditions of other buildings without the need of actual assessments. The empirical fi ndings show that this proposed estimation algorithm works and has a number of practical and policy implications.

“…Most of the arguments for this policy are not specific to Israeli conditions (see, eg Kemeny, 1983;Whitehead, 198.4;Werczberger and Ginsberg, 1987). Owneroccupiers are thought to take better care of their dwelling.…”

Privatisation has been part of Israeli housing policy since the first public housing units were built in 1949. It has involved the sale of publicly-owned dwellings to sitting tenants, but also the shift to residents of responsibilities usually associated with ownership, such as maintenance and tax liabilities. The evolution of this policy is examined by considering the social, economic and political factors which have shaped the development of Israeli public housing policy from its beginning.

“…Given that it is rational for individual building owners to pursue their own interests, difficulties in obtaining consents or arriving at compromise by a large number of owners are foreseeable (Lai and Chan 2004). Werczberger and Ginsberg (1987) and Spivack (1991) provided empirical evidence that the number of dwellings per building had a negative impact on the state of repair of the buildings.…”
