Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent empirical research has demonstrated that neighborhood quality is associated with residents' evaluation of specific attributes of their housing environment. This paper uses the 1976 Annual Housing Survey to assess the contributions to overall neighborhood quality of people's evaluations of environmental conditions and public services. It considers 1) the extent to which the presence or absence of conditions influences ratings of neighborhoods, 2) the relative importance of conditions and service evaluations in explaining overall neighborhood ratings, and 3) the extent to which the evaluations in households with different background characteristics differ in importance in explaining overall neighborhood ratings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching purpose of this study is to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively the spatial characteristics of two types of neighborhoods, namely New Urbanist (NU) neighborhoods and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified neighborhoods. LEED certified neighborhoods are commonly referred to as LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND). In this research study, the spatial quality of these two types of neighborhoods was examined through assessing the quality of five dimensions of a neighborhood's urban form, which are: safety, comfort, connectivity, place making and aesthetic quality. Three types of neighborhoods were selected and examined using two main analytical tools: neighborhood scorecard, and residents' survey. Two neighborhoods were selected to examine NU neighborhoods in Michigan in the United States, which are Cherry Hill Village (CHV) a greenfield residential development, and Mason Run (MR) a brownfield residential development. The third neighborhood was selected to examine LEED-ND certified neighborhoods, which is Saint Luke (SL) neighborhood in Ohio in the United States. The neighborhood scorecard included a total of 150 design guidelines that yield better Quality of Life (QoL) in residential developments through urban form. The residents' survey included a set of questions that examined the residents' perceptions regarding the five physical characteristics necessary to yield better QoL. A total of 154 surveys were collected for data analysis that used one-way ANOVA tests, Tukey's post-hoc tests, and multiple regression models. The major findings from the neighborhood scorecard are that CHV neighborhood provides was safer than the brownfield NU residential development and the LEED-ND certified neighborhood. Both NU neighborhoods provided more comfortable environments of their residents to live in more than the LEED-ND certified neighborhood. The greenfield NU neighborhood earned more points than the other two neighborhoods in terms of the internal and external connectivity degree of the neighborhood. In terms of fulfilling the recommended design guidelines for place making and aesthetic quality, again the Greenfield NU neighborhood had earned higher points than the other two neighborhoods. The major findings from the survey are: Survey participants living in both NU neighborhoods were more satisfied with their QoL more than the participants living in the LEED-ND certified neighborhood. Also, respondents living in NU neighborhoods perceived their neighborhoods as safer places to live in more than participants living in the LEED-ND certified neighborhood. On the other hand, respondents living in the NU brownfield development perceived their neighborhood as the least comfortable neighborhood. In terms of the internal connectivity of the neighborhood, respondents living in NU greenfield development identified the internal connectivity of their neighborhood as the highest compared to the other two neighborhoods. On the other hand, the perception of the internal connectivity perception was the lowest amongst respondents living in the LEED-ND certified neighborhood. Respondents living in the LEED-ND certified neighborhood had the highest mean in terms of their perceptions of sense of belonging. On the other hand, respondents living in the NU brownfield development had the lowest mean in terms of their perception of sense of belonging. The perception of the aesthetic quality of the neighborhood was the highest among respondents living in the NU greenfield development. On the other hand, the perception of aesthetic quality of the neighborhood was the least among respondents living in NU brownfield development.This research study concludes by suggesting recommendations to improve the principles and design guidelines of NU and LEED-ND certified neighborhoods to achieve better QoL. The recommendations suggest emphasizing certain spatial characteristics that yield better QoL in Greenfield, and brownfield residential developments.

Book excerpt: In this two volume collection the editors have chosen a sample of some of the most essential and inspirational articles and papers for understanding revealed preference methods to value environmental amenities. The papers cover the gamut of methods that are typically classified as revealed preference approaches - including: recreation demand models, hedonic methods, and averting behavior methods, as well as efforts to combine stated and revealed preferences. While this collection is far from exhaustive, the editors have included papers they believe will represent the state of the art in the theory and application of revealed preference methods, contribute to development of the state of the art, or raise fundamental challenges and insights that will drive the research agenda in the coming years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the most alarming phenomenon in American cities has been the transformation of many neighborhoods into isolated ghettos where poverty is the norm and violent crime, drug use, out-of-wedlock births, and soaring school dropout rates are rampant. Public concern over these destitute areas has focused on their most vulnerable inhabitants—children and adolescents. How profoundly does neighborhood poverty endanger their well-being and development? Is the influence of neighborhood more powerful than that of the family? Neighborhood Poverty approaches these questions with an insightful and wide-ranging investigation into the effect of community poverty on children's physical health, cognitive and verbal abilities, educational attainment, and social adjustment. This two-volume set offers the most current research and analysis from experts in the fields of child development, social psychology, sociology and economics. Drawing from national and city-based sources, Volume I reports the empirical evidence concerning the relationship between children and community. As the essays demonstrate, poverty entails a host of problems that affects the quality of educational, recreational, and child care services.Poor neighborhoods usually share other negative features—particularly racial segregation and a preponderance of single mother families—that may adversely affect children. Yet children are not equally susceptible to the pitfalls of deprived communities. Neighborhood has different effects depending on a child's age, race, and gender, while parenting techniques and a family's degree of community involvement also serve as mitigating factors. Volume II incorporates empirical data on neighborhood poverty into discussions of policy and program development. The contributors point to promising community initiatives and suggest methods to strengthen neighborhood-based service programs for children. Several essays analyze the conceptual and methodological issues surrounding the measurement of neighborhood characteristics. These essays focus on the need to expand scientific insight into urban poverty by drawing on broader pools of ethnographic, epidemiological, and quantitative data. Volume II explores the possibilities for a richer and more well-rounded understanding of neighborhood and poverty issues. To grasp the human cost of poverty, we must clearly understand how living in distressed neighborhoods impairs children's ability to function at every level. Neighborhood Poverty explores the multiple and complex paths between community, family, and childhood development. These two volumes provide and indispensable guide for social policy and demonstrate the power of interdisciplinary social science to probe complex social issues.

Book excerpt: One central and enduring image of the social science researcher is of an individual who commits a great deal of time to collecting original, primary data from a field of enquiry. This approach is often underpinned by a sincerely held belief that key research questions can only be explored by the collection of ever new, and ever greater amounts of data, or that already existing data are insufficient for researchers to test their ideas. Yet such an approach to social science research can be problematic not least because the collection of primary data can be an expensive, time-consuming, and even wasteful approach to social enquiry. Secondary analysis can serve many purposes, as well as being a valid approach in its own right. However, despite its widespread application, secondary analysis is often undervalued or perceived to be the preserve of only those interested in the re-use of large-scale survey data. Highlighting both the theory and practice of secondary analysis and the use of secondary sources, this collection considers the nature of secondary analysis as a research tool; reflects on the definitional debates surrounding terms such as secondary analysis, data re-use and restudies; illustrates how secondary analysis is used in social science research; and finally reviews the practical, methodological and ethical aspects of secondary analysis.
