“…Dupuis and Thorns 1998), but seldom operationalized in surveys. Exceptions include Kleinhans and Elsinga's (2010) scale for housing-related empowerment, and Mandič and Hrast's (2018) study of sense of control within apartment buildings. Survey researchers should expand beyond satisfaction measures to assess other dimensions of subjective housing wellbeing.…”

Housing Status in Post-Soviet Contexts: A Multi-dimensional Measurement Approach

2020

This study draws on a novel survey in Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Ukraine to develop a framework for conceptualizing and measuring housing status, a multi-dimensional construct reflecting positions in a housing stratification order. We employ structural equation modeling to confirm whether our measures reflect distinct dimensions of housing status. We validate our measurement approach by testing for distinct dimensional effects on subjective housing wellbeing. Our novel measures of housing tenure, quantity, quality, and wellbeing reflect post-Soviet intra-household differences in property rights; the cultural premium placed on having a room of one's own; constellations of amenities and comforts comprising quality; and the significance of a sense of autonomy for subjective housing wellbeing. Results demonstrate that the three dimensions of housing status-tenure, quality, and quantity-exert independent effects on subjective housing wellbeing, with consistent effects across the four study countries. Our systematic attention to measurement of housing status in post-Soviet conditions models an approach that scholars could adapt for other contexts, including but not limited to other post-communist societies.

“…In a recent study relying on such an approach (see Mandič & Filipovič Hrast, 2019), two occurrences were found to significantly influence the residents' feelings of being in control in such a setting. The first is "trust in neighbours", which implies a complex set of relationships and ties between residents, including some level of sense of belonging, customs and habits, norms and social control developed in the specific setting.…”

“…More specifically, we consider the question of whether during the epidemic the neighbourly occurrences in the building have impacted the residents' perceptions of having control over their lives. While it has already been established that residential action affects individuals' feeling of having control over common issues in a MAB (see Mandič & Filipovič Hrast, 2019), we wish to examine this role with regard to specific threats in the pandemic. To this end, we chose the case study method which, while observing a phenomenon, recognises the importance of its particular setting and its unique occurrences.…”

Quality of life in COVID-19 pandemic: A kaleidoscope of challenges and responses of various population groups during the crisis

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The chapter addresses the (temporary) changes in care in Slovenia in the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of care regime embeddedness. Analysis of public policies, intervention measures, and data from available surveys leads to shifts being identified in the role played by different actors (state, market, family) concerning care. The chapter shows how measures like the closing of childcare facilities and schools, or the limits placed on home care services, saw the care role shifting from the state to individuals (emphasis on individual responsibility) and particularly to families (refamilialisation). This has left families with an especially challenging worklife balance, notably those belonging to the 'sandwich generation'. The conclusion discusses the implications of these changes for work-life balance policies and broader gender equality issues.

“…both institutions and belief systems much change for successful reform since it is the mental models of the actors that will shape choices". Mandič and Hrast [15] show in their recent study that the impact of property law may have lesser weight than informal behavioral patterns. The political process of defining and enforcing property rights can be decisive because of the distributional implications of different property rights allocations [16].…”

This paper aims to elucidate the sliding scale between usufruct and ownership by applying a property rights framework to three Swedish forms of tenure in multifamily housing. The framework deconstructs the bundles of rights of rental, tenant-ownership and ownership to highlight commonalities and differences connected to the right to use and exclude, the right to transfer and the right to the value. It is concluded that the three tenure forms have many traits in common but that there are distinct differences in some areas, most notably in connection to the right to the value. The property rights framework applied in the study may be applicable also on a general level as a method to analyze and compare tenures of different types in different countries. Further, ways to improve the framework and cover more facets of outcomes of property rights patterns are suggested.
