Barrier-free Design of Public Rental Housing

With the aging of society,special groups have had increasing needs of integrating into social life,and higher requirements on life quality,and the society has attached increasing importance to barrier-free design.Taking public rental housing for example,both circulation space and furniture design have to fully consider needs of special groups such as the seniors and the disabled.Barrier-free design in living spaces can help improve their ability of self-care,reduce their dependence on family members,fully demonstrate the"human-centered"design concept of public rental housing,and show the designers’sense of social responsibility.

On Applicability of Public Rental Housing

Applicability of public rental housing was analyzed from the perspectives of site selection, tenant and indoor environment. Special needs of seniors and the physically disabled, in particular, were taken into consideration, indoor barrier-free designs were analyzed to further improve applicability of public rental housing.

Life Satisfaction among Elderly Households in Public Rental Housing in Singapore

We set out to investigate how satisfied the poor elderly Singaporean households in social housing are with their lives, especially in relation to their housing, in an attempt to find measures to improve, where possible, the life satisfaction of this group of elderly Singaporeans. We use archival and empirical research for our investigation. The results from 403 respondents to our survey are analyzed through logistic regression and factor analysis. We find that the life satisfaction of the elderly residents of social housing is very low. Furthermore we find that home modification that meets the requirements of the respondents will substantially improve their life satisfaction. Given that these elderly households neither have the right nor financial means to modify their housing units and precincts, it is incumbent upon the government, through the relevant authorities such as HDB, Town Councils and BCA to effect the necessary home modifications to create a more elderly-friendly physical environment to improve the life satisfaction of the elderly households in social housing in Singapore. This arguably is a social imperative which should not be subjugated to economic niceties as social housing is not a luxurious housing choice but the last safety net for basic shelter.

An evaluation system for suitability of urban public rental housing construction in Chongqing

A social problem that low-income people are unable to purchase houses in urban areas has been focused in recent years and the housing security system has also become an important part of the social security system. In recent years, public rental houses appeared as a new type of affordable houses. The national government took the construction of public rental houses to the national strategic level. Currently, there are many problems in the public rental house construction. For example, policy mechanisms are inadequate, the use of funding is not in an efficient way, the location of public rental houses is far away from the downtown, the plot ratio is too high, and facilities are incomplete. There are no appropriate indicators to comprehensively evaluate the public rental house construction. Based on the livable evaluation system in Chongqing, we selected four aspects of relevant indicators as the economic suitability, environmental suitability, social suitability, and life suitability to establish the public rental house construction suitability evaluation system.

Identification of the Breach of Short-Term Rental Regulations in Irish Rent Pressure Zones

The housing crisis in Ireland has rapidly grown in recent years. To make a more significant profit, many landlords are no longer renting out their houses under long-term tenancies but under short-term tenancies. Regulating rentals in Rent Pressure Zones with the highest and rising rents is becoming a tricky issue. In this paper, we develop a breach identifier to check short-term rentals located in Rent Pressure Zones with potential breaches only using publicly available data from Airbnb (an online marketplace focused on short-term home-stays) and Irish government websites. First, we use a Residual Neural Network to filter out outdoor landscape photos that negatively impact identifying whether an owner has multiple rentals in a Rent Pressure Zone. Second, a Siamese Neural Network is used to compare the similarity of indoor photos to determine if multiple rental posts correspond to the same residence. Next, we use the Haversine algorithm to locate short-term rentals within a circle centered on the coordinate of a permit. Short-term rentals with a permit will not be restricted. Finally, we improve the occupancy estimation model combined with sentiment analysis, which may provide higher accuracy.

中国城市保障性租赁住房供给制度比较研究——基于住房规划政策视角

城市住房负担能力和保障性住房供应是全球范围关注的重要问题。城镇住房制度改革以来,中国住房市场快速发展的同时也导致了部分群体住房负担问题。我国提供了系列保障性住房以解决问题,但新市民、青年人等群体仍有较大的租房负担。随着住房保障体系不断深化,保障性租赁住房成为目前住房保障的供应主体。为探索中国城市保障性租赁住房政策的发展方向,本研究根据房租收入比将重点建设城市分为三类(租房可负担性较好、租房可负担性一般和租房可负担性较差的城市),基于住房规划政策视角,对保障性租赁住房政策中的保障范围、供应配建、运营管理等供给制度进行比较研究。旨在探讨以下问题:城市保障性租赁住房制度间有何差异和特点;保障性租赁住房为谁建、怎么建以及怎么管。结果表明:各城市面临保障范围宽、目标落实难、管理模式不清晰等共性问题;3类城市的政策趋于同质化,但仍有各自症结,其中可负担性较差的城市租金管制亟待加强;可负担性一般的城市筹建渠道单一;可负担性较好的城市政策内容不完整等。针对研究结果,本文从保障范围、供应配建、运营管理三个方面分别提出供需匹配,优化政策保障范围、保量提质,加强保租房建设规划等建议,并针对3类型城市提出优化重点。

负面情绪累积效应下住房租赁市场危机演化与引导

住房租赁经营者的违规无序经营会使租户产生负面情绪累积效应,极易导致市场危机不断演化升级,给行业发展带来巨大冲击。在传染病动力模型和演化博弈理论基础上,构建SEIR(易感者、感染者、传播者和康复者)演化博弈模型,分析地方政府与住房租赁经营者行为策略的博弈关系及双方不同策略选择下租户情绪感知的演化路径,讨论住房租赁市场博弈系统达到稳定状态的规律,为政府行业治理提供决策支持。地方政府和租赁经营者对行业隐性损益的感知对其行为策略具有重要影响,违规经营的超额收益易使经营者产生短视行为。地方政府在住房租赁市场危机中起到重要的控制、引导和调节作用,应兼顾短期财政效益和行业长期发展,通过建立规范的行业制度、经济惩罚、政策性优惠制度等方式约束和激励经营者的行为,并提高经营者社会责任意识。另外,修复租户负面情感认知对阻止市场危机爆发和演化具有重要意义。地方政府和经营者应以积极的态度弥补租户损失,引导正面情绪,实现对市场危机的良性控制和有效预防。

对主要发达国家住房供给和保障体系的形成、发展及演变过程进行系统梳理。研究发现:主要发达国家在政府干预强度、住房政策目标、住房供给主体以及住房保障模式等方面存在显著差异,但都已形成“多主体住房供给、多层次住房结构和多渠道住房保障”的发展模式。在此基础上,提出充分利用社会资本促进保障性住房供给、大力支持首次购房和改善性住房需求、注重住房租购市场的均衡发展等建议。

大城市租赁住房供应错配问题研究

租赁已成为大城市重要的居住方式。本文通过分析我国40个重点城市的租赁住房数据,发现我国大城市租赁住房供给规模整体充足,但存在明显的户型供给结构错配、空间供给错配与机构化租赁住房不足的类型错配问题。为更好地解决大城市新市民、青年人住房困难,针对以上问题本文提出了科学布局保障性租赁住房建设,充分挖掘存量资源,探索既有户型改造方式,以及提高机构化运营比例等政策建议。

建筑改建为保障性租赁住房设计标准探讨

本文介绍了国内建筑结构设计规范以及不同版本抗震设计规范的修订内容,分析了全文强制性工程建设规范《既有建筑鉴定与加固通用规范》、国家标准《建筑抗震鉴定标准》和上海市《现有建筑抗震鉴定与加固标准》的异同以及对保障性租赁住房改建项目的影响;针对保障性租赁住房改建项目的特点,从减少结构加固改造的角度对改建保障性租赁住房项目提出建筑设计方案建议和结构鉴定加固建议。其中,建筑设计方案建议包括逆向设计、轻质装配式隔墙、集成卫浴等,结构鉴定加固建议包括:抗震鉴定的建筑分类应同时考虑建造年代和设计规范版本;改建保障性租赁住房的后续设计使用年限建议按30年考虑;不动原结构的改建保障性租赁住房按不低于原建造设计规范进行鉴定。

城市新青年的住房租赁选择、逻辑及对策研究

青年及新市民群体是我国新时代住房保障体系的重要对象,而租赁住房是青年和新市民群体落脚城市的主要途径。基于厦门市租赁住房市场调研数据,从供给侧角度分析,发现不同供给主体所提供的住房在地理空间分布、租金定价机制和建筑环境特点等方面存在明显差异。切换至住户视角,发现处于不同生命阶段、自致和先赋因素迥异的青年群体的租赁住房选择模式不同,存在“通勤时间优先”和“居住空间优先”两种模式。住房租赁行为所映射出来的群体分化现象及其潜藏逻辑对我国保障性租赁住房的建设和发展具有一定的启发价值。
