This paper presents an application of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in building consensus among experts on the choice of urban residential upgrading schemes in Jakarta, Indonesia. Questionnaires were administered to both international and Indonesian experts involved in residential upgrading in our study area. Given the goal of urban residential improvement, they were asked to weigh such alternatives as multi-storey housing (MS), single-detached housing (SD), and Kampung Improvement Program (KIP) based on such criteria as tenure, floor area, accessibility to work place, accessibility to transportation and lifestyle. It was found that accessibility to work place was the most important criterion while multi-storey housing was the single most preferred housing improvement scheme contrary to the popular program (KIP) promoted by international aid agencies.

The main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of the availability of day care facilities evaluated by working married women in Japan on their sequential fertility behavior. For this purpose, one-factor random effects probit model based upon a continuous latent variable method is employed and analysis performed, using 1993-1996 panel data from the Japanese Panel Survey on Consumers. The empirical results show that the availability of day care facilities has a positive effect on the fertility behavior during the observed period. In short, the higher their availability, the higher probability of birth among working married women. Consequently, it is clear that the provision of day care facilities should be considered as a meaningful social policy to help working married women reconcile career with child rearing.
