All participants of the questionnaire were strictly members of Generation Z that were born in the time period of 1995–2012. In this questionnaire the participants were provided with full anonymity, since none of their identity data were requested during this process. Findings The findings of this study indicate that Gen Z and their different characteristics will have an impact on the real estate industry. Research limitations/implications This study can be utilized as a landmark for agents of real estate on understanding how they can use the characteristics and behaviors of Gen Z in their favor, by pointing out the prominence of those characteristics and behaviors in realizing the needs and desires of the potential buyers and the influence they have on the decision to buy property. Furthermore, through this study, the real estate agencies will be provided with multiple reasons that substantiate the necessity to perform the proper research about differences between generations. Originality/value The study is the first quantitative study that studies the linkage between behaviors and characteristics of Generation Z and their intention to purchase real estate.

Structured AbstractPurpose: The purpose of this article is to explore the development of knowledge about facilities management (FM), in particular, the management of FM services in practice, education and research. The article questions whether we know more about optimal models for in-house or outsourcing FM after 25 years of applied research and development of best practices.Design/methodology/approach: The article is based on literature reviews, case studies and personal experiences from practice for over 25 years, concentrating on the public sector. The article maintains an international focus on the FM development, with particular focus on the development in Norway and the Nordic countries. The knowledge development triangle, and its integration of education, research and practice, is used as an underlying theoretical framework. Findings:The knowledge regarding management of FM services in both the public and private sector has been developed over the last two decades. The changes in both sectors is reflected in all the three aspects of the knowledge triangle. While the use of outsourcing increased significantly in popularity during the last 25 years, the Norwegian profile continues to have limited use of outsourcing. Research limitations/implications:The article is based a qualified selection of doctoral theses, research reports and scientific articles published in the period 1990-2015. The explorations include limited quantitative data. Practical implications -Social implications:The choice for FM in practice, whether fully or partly to produce services with internal resources or to make arrangements with external suppliers, is an important strategic decision regarding the choice of a procurement strategy for the company or the organisation. This decision is not necessarily about outsourcing or in-house, but rather the strategic sourcing and management of the needed services.Originality/value: Twenty-five years of research have shown that a simple solution and answer to the questions about in-house or outsourcing FM services is lacking. To find a good solution, it is necessary to understand the content of FM services with respect to quality and efficiency, and to understand the interaction between FM, the core activities and the users.

“…As already indicated by Richard Sendi (2013) in his article "The low housing standard in Slovenia: Low purchasing power as an eternal excuse, " overcrowding may cause uneasiness, health problems and so on, and so the government should take urgent action, taking into consideration new approaches to dwelling design that guarantee optimum modern housing standards. This is also confirmed by Grum and Temeljotov Salaj (2016), who report that young people expect greater help from the state through regulatory measures and fair distribution of social assistance between the "young" and the "old" generations to create social and housing policies that are fairer and friendlier to young families. This would reduce the pressure on the family and the potential for conflict within it, as well as the potential for conflict between the state and the family.…”

“…In their article "Intergenerational living: An intercultural comparison, " Grum and Temeljotov Salaj (2016) explore the factors behind young adults living in shared households with their parents for an extended period of time. They proceed from the hypothesis that young and old living together as an extended family is not an indicator of intergenerational symbiosis and solidarity, but rather a reflection of wider social and cultural processes regulating the life of society as a whole and the lives of individuals.…”

This time around, Urbani izziv focuses on the importance of spatial planning for climate change adaptation, the revitalisation of parks and open spaces, the role of migrants in transforming urban neighbourhoods, the post-communist restructuring of centralities in central and eastern European capitals, gated communities and intergenerational living. The articles further develop selected findings from previous issues of the journal. A critical comparative analysis of these articles is presented below in order to provide added value to the articles and research findings published in this journal, and hence further enhance their research profile.
