“…The results revealed that elderly citizens had moderate satisfaction with urban public satisfaction. This finding was consistent with the results from a study in Prague that showed that elderly people were fairly satisfied with their residential environment in terms of accessibility to services, public spaces, housing and social support [19]. However, descriptive results from a representative sample of community-dwelling older adults aged 65 to 84 years in Madrid (Spain) showed a high degree of satisfaction with the residential environment [17].…”

Background:The residential satisfaction is one of the major elements of quality of life, particularly in old age. Objective:The aim of this study was to assess residential satisfaction of a sample of Iranian senior citizens in Karaj, Iran. Methods:A cross-sectional design using a convenience sampling technique was employed to obtain a sample of 400 older adults 60 years and over. A validated researcher-constructed questionnaire was used to collect data on residential satisfaction. Results:The mean age of the respondents was 71.82 (SD=7.77), with a range from 60 to 98 years. The mean score for residential satisfaction was 130.70 (SD=35.70), indicating that the senior citizens were moderately satisfied with the urban space. The safety and security of the residential areas were found to be the most important factors for senior citizens. Conclusion:The findings showed that older adults had moderate satisfaction with residential areas, implying that policymakers should take measures to improve public space. The practical and theoretical implications of the study that may play a critical part in making successful housing policies for aging population are discussed.

“…Given that the average retirement age in Hungary is 62.5 and lower incomes represent an economic constraint on relocation, elderly mobility after 65 is assumed to be low and residential preferences are assumed to be largely in line with those of the 50-64 age group (Gobillon & Wolff, 2011;Stockdale & MacLeod, 2013). This is further supported by empirical findings which suggest that residential preferences of the elderly are more likely to be influenced by their financial situations and/or social bonds with neighbours than by proximity to social, economic and green amenities (Angelini & Laferrère, 2012;Hansen & Gottschalk, 2006;Temelová & Dvořáková, 2012). In this study, the strengths of nine dependencies were considered for both children (aged 0-14) and the elderly (aged 65+) to support their potential association with each of the working age groups (15-29, 30-49 and 50-64) and urbanisation levels (capital, town and village).…”

We present a simple model to disaggregate age structured population census data to a 1-km grid for Hungary. A dasymetric approach was used to predict the spatial distribution of population in different age groups by distinguishing residential preferences (in relation to accessible social, economic and green amenities) for working age groups (15-29, 30-49 and 50-64) and population dependencies for children and the elderly (aged 0-14 and 65+). By using open-access land cover data and fine-level population census data as inputs, the model predicts the likely spatial distribution of population and age structure for Hungary in 2011. The resulting map and gridded data provide information to support spatial planning of residential development and urban infrastructure. The model is less data-demanding than most existing approaches, but provides greater power for describing population patterns. It can also be used to create scenarios of future demographic change.

“…Since the supply of urban land is limited, most of this urban central growth has taken place through the conversion of land from residential into commercial use. Because of their unique locations, urban-center lands often are subject to problems regarding the control of building development, inefficient land use, extreme land speculation, and high land prices (Son, 2013;Temelová & Dvořáková, 2012;Zeković, Vujošević, & Maričić, 2015).…”

A B S T R A C TThis article addresses a relative gap in the literature on real estate development and property rights in transitional economies, particularly on the "shadow" role of private developers in urban management at the local level. The paper argues that the development of high-rise buildings in Vietnam resulted from the national privatization policy shift known as Doi Moi that gave landowners greater rights. These changes in land rights policy are important constitutive elements for institutional functionality of value capture via privatization of land, to become viable and effective. Further, the paper describes how private developers (foreign and domestic) take advantage of vague and indistinct city governance regarding privatization of land, while the property rights of the original users of the land are insufficiently protected. These issues are illuminated and analyzed through the use of three case studies of commercial projects in Ho Chi Minh City. We suggest a further institutionalization of privatization of land and value capture in Vietnam.
