Book Synopsis Homeowners and Neighborhood Reinvestment by : George C. Galster
Download or read book Homeowners and Neighborhood Reinvestment written by George C. Galster and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the efforts of homeowners to maintain and improve their dwellings. Their behavior, it has found, depends on economic variables as well as the sociological structure of their neighborhoods. Residential satisfaction, expectations of the neighborhood, and mobility plans were taken into account. Multivariate statistical analyses of models were conducted using household data from Minneapolis and Wooster, Ohio. Three important findings emerged. First, homeowners' sense of solidarity with their neighbors is as significant in determining their efforts at home upkeep as are their income or age. Second, the optimism of homeowners toward increases in property values results in behavior opposite to that produced by optimism about neighborhood quality of life. This implies that different kinds of predictable gaming behavior occur among homeowners, depending on the neighborhoods in which they live. Third, both short-term and extremely long-term plans to move prove damaging to home upkeep. The results of this study form the basis for a better understanding of such residential phenomena as class succession, racial transition, and gentrification. Galster's findings will also be valuable for analyzing policies that attempt to encourage neighborhood reinvestment.

Book excerpt: To assess both structural and measurement relations in a single model, this study uses a Structural Regression Model based on the two-step modeling process. The findings reveal the significant direct and indirect effects of physical, perceptual, and evaluative measures on neighborhood satisfaction. The results extend the understanding of the neighborhood environment and residents' quality of life. Methodologically, the study demonstrates advances in data collection through its on-line survey, on-site observation via a personal digital assistant (PDA), and GIS.

Book Synopsis The Association Between Neighborhood Environment and Neighborhood Satisfaction by : Suzanna M. Lee
Download or read book The Association Between Neighborhood Environment and Neighborhood Satisfaction written by Suzanna M. Lee and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the relationship between perceived neighborhood environment characteristics and neighborhood satisfaction and the moderating effects of age, gender, education, and race/ethnicity. Neighborhood satisfaction has been related to various environmental components, but the moderating effects of individual-level demographics on the association have not been closely examined. The analysis used cross-sectional data from the National Quality of Life Study (NQLS) collected from 2002-2005 from respondents in the Seattle and Baltimore regions. The study population was aged 20-66, 48.3% were female, 75.6% were White, and 59.4% had an income above $60,000. The environment was measured with Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale (NEWS), and neighborhood satisfaction was assessed as a mean of 17 satisfaction survey items and as 5 factors of these items. A previous factor analysis yielded the following neighborhood satisfaction factors: Safety and Walkability, Access to Destinations, Social Network, Travel Network, and Traffic and Noise. Analyses were completed using mixed effects linear regression. Higher levels of pedestrian/traffic safety, aesthetics, crime safety, walking/cycling facilities, land use mix-diversity, and land use mix-access were found to be associated with higher levels of neighborhood satisfaction, and residential density was found to be negatively associated with neighborhood satisfaction. Pedestrian and traffic safety, aesthetics, and crime safety were shown to be the strongest neighborhood environment correlates of various dimensions of neighborhood satisfaction, and individual-level variables were found to moderate the association between some of the neighborhood environment characteristics and satisfaction. Most interesting were the street connectivity by gender interaction on mean neighborhood satisfaction and the street connectivity by race/ethnicity interaction on satisfaction with traffic and noise. The relationship was positive among females and non-Whites while a negative relationship was seen among males and Whites. Also noteworthy is the interaction showing that those with higher levels of education reported negative, linear relationships between residential density and satisfaction with social network and satisfaction with safety and walkability. Higher educated individuals also reported linear relationships (positive) between pedestrian/traffic safety and satisfaction with social network and satisfaction with safety and walkability. However, linear relationships were not seen among those with less education. Further research should delve into reasons for apparent neighborhood satisfaction differences among demographic sub-groups. Planners and policymakers will need to take such demographic differences into account when designing and/or revitalizing neighborhoods to ensure that all populations will be sufficiently satisfied with their neighborhoods.

Book Synopsis Neighborhoods, People, and Community by : Roger Ahlbrandt
Download or read book Neighborhoods, People, and Community written by Roger Ahlbrandt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on neighborhoods and the people living in them. It describes differences among neighborhoods in terms of their social and institutional structure, attitudes of the residents, quality of life, and the characteristics of the residents. The book is based on the results of a survey of almost 6,000 residents living throughout the city of Pittsburgh. As such it provides the basis for examining groups of people as well as whole neighborhoods. The communal aspects of urban living are discussed in Chapters 1 and 2; attachment toward the neighborhood in Chapter 3; importance of reli gion, life cycle, and race in Chapter 4; various aspects of individual social support systems and neighborhood social fabric in Chapters 5, 6, and 7; the contextual aspects of the neighborhood environment in Chapters 8 and 9; and the implications for urban policy in Chapter 10. The results of the analysis described in the book pro vide a detailed understanding of differences in the struc ture and composition of urban neighborhoods, and they show why some groups of people are drawn into their neighborhoods whereas others rely more upon the wider community to meet a variety of needs. The analysis pro vides the framework in which to address the implications for urban policy, particularly with respect to mental health prevention and neighborhood and community renewal.
Book Synopsis Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design by : Charles Montgomery
Download or read book Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design written by Charles Montgomery and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A globe-trotting, eye-opening exploration of how cities can—and do—make us happier people Charles Montgomery's Happy City will revolutionize the way we think about urban life. After decades of unchecked sprawl, more people than ever are moving back to the city. Dense urban living has been prescribed as a panacea for the environmental and resource crises of our time. But is it better or worse for our happiness? Are subways, sidewalks, and tower dwelling an improvement on the car-dependence of sprawl? The award-winning journalist Charles Montgomery finds answers to such questions at the intersection between urban design and the emerging science of happiness, and during an exhilarating journey through some of the world's most dynamic cities. He meets the visionary mayor who introduced a "sexy" lipstick-red bus to ease status anxiety in Bogotá; the architect who brought the lessons of medieval Tuscan hill towns to modern-day New York City; the activist who turned Paris's urban freeways into beaches; and an army of American suburbanites who have transformed their lives by hacking the design of their streets and neighborhoods. Full of rich historical detail and new insights from psychologists and Montgomery's own urban experiments, Happy City is an essential tool for understanding and improving our own communities. The message is as surprising as it is hopeful: by retrofitting our cities for happiness, we can tackle the urgent challenges of our age. The happy city, the green city, and the low-carbon city are the same place, and we can all help build it.
