“…Some of these involved the derogatory stereotyping of ''rough Bluff'' or the ''arsehole of New Zealand'' (survey and key informant interviews). As with trends noted in other working class locations that have faced restructuring or deindustrialization (Broadway, 2000;Dunn et al, 1995), these images have built up around both the fishing industry and the closure and deterioration of the local Ocean Beach freezing works (Fig. 2).…”

“…Nevertheless, recent data from the Canadian Census have indicated some immigrant dispersal outside major urban centers to smaller centers (Abu-Laban and Garber 2005;Broadway 2000;Radford 2007). A similar trend has been noted in the USA (Lichter and Johnson 2006;Yu 2008, 2010;Singer 2004).…”

Housing for refugees and immigrants is increasingly an issue in smalland mid-sized cities in the British Columbia interior (Central Okanagan), where the real estate market is one of the most expensive in Canada. This study examines the housing experiences of immigrants in Vernon, Penticton, and Kelowna, using data from focus groups of new immigrants and interviews with key informants. Respondents encountered discrimination based on country of origin, immigration status, and ethnicity or race, as well as housing affordability problems. Participants cope with the latter barrier by either sharing housing to save money or renting a basement. Key informants suggest that government, especially the federal government, must help address the immigrant housing crisis in Central Okanagan by funding affordable housing construction, regulating and cooperating with developers, facilitating dialog between landlords and renters, and supporting community organizations. Municipal governments lack the resources and the constitutional powers to deal with this issue on their own.Résumé Pour les réfugiés et les immigrants, trouver un endroit où vivre devient de plus en plus difficile dans les petites villes et celles de taille moyenne de l'intérieur de la Colombie-Britannique (le centre de l'Okanagan) où se trouve un des marchés de l'immobilier le plus cher du Canada. Cette étude examine les expériences des immigrants quant au logement à Vernon, à Penticton et à Kelowna, en utilisant des données d'un panel de nouveaux immigrants et des interviews avec les informateurs clés. Les répondants ont expliqué qu'ils ont affronté non seulement de la discrimination basée sur leurs pays d'origine, leur statut d'immigration, leur ethnicité ou race, mais aussi des problèmes liés au logement abordable. Les participants essaient de surmonter ce dernier obstacle soit en partageant le logement pour économiser de l'argent soit en louant un sous-sol. Les informateurs clés suggèrent que le gouvernement, notamment le gouvernement fédéral, doit aborder la crise du logement des immigrants au centre de l'Okanagan en finançant la construction de logements abordables, en réglementant et en coopérant avec les promoteurs, en facilitant le dialogue entre les propriétaires et les locataires, et en appuyant les organisations communautaires. Les gouvernements municipaux n'ont pas les ressources et le pouvoir nécessaires pour régler ce problème sans aide.

“…The expansion of employment and population has often led to shortages in local housing rental and purchase markets. As a consequence, the cost of rental and purchase accommodation has increased rapidly, pricing many workers out of the housing market (Broadway 2000). The outcome has been the proliferation of low-cost 'trailer park' accommodation on the fringes of many small towns (Ziebarth 2000).…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the changing dynamics of housing markets in an Australian rural community. With reference to the case of Narrogin, Western Australia, it argues that there is an increasing disjuncture between the social and demographic characteristics of rural residents and the modal form of housing in country towns, namely the detached family house. Factors contributing to this disjuncture include the ageing of the population, the loss of traditional blue-collar employment, sub-regional restructuring of service provision, retirement migration patterns, and growing acceptance of the particular housing needs of groups such as the aged, the disabled, young and indigenous people. While it is clear that there is currently something of a mismatch between the characteristics of the population and the housing stock in Narrogin, it is also evident that a combination of political, cultural and economic factors form a significant barrier to adjustment in the local housing market.
