“…Previous research does not give an unambiguous answer about the residential choices and different lifestyles that groups or ''tribes'' like to choose, and what are the most important factors of their choice. According to that research, we note that the question of residential choice is not related only to the socio-economical issuesalthough social structures and economic positions do affect individuals' lifestyles (Brun and Fagnani, 1994;Schneiner and Kasper, 2003;AErø, 2006). That research demonstrates that lifestyle is a relevant part of residential choice, but the selection is complex and a result of many variables (Crump, 2003;Hjorthol and Bjørnskau, 2005).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the identification and engagement of future inhabitants in planning processes for residential developments using a new ''4Ps'' participation method, where the 4Ps denote public, private and people are in partnership. This form of participation gives new information, related to consumers' residential choice, unlike those environments produced by using other participation methods. Design/methodology/approach -The empirical study is based on innovation theory where endusers are primary stakeholders in the innovation process, and even innovators themselves. A case study of a new participation method based on a two-phase internet questionnaire is used to research practical solutions in integrating end-users into urban planning process. Findings -This paper demonstrates that the widely used theory of communicative action in planning and its aim of increasing citizens' activity in planning and development processes can be developed to the stage that it also includes future inhabitants as stakeholders. Thus urban planning processes become innovative and customer-oriented through their openness, end-user orientation and interpretative nature. Originality/value -The case study findings indicate that the new participation method described here gives flexibility and benefits to all stakeholders and is a method to create consumer-desirable neighbourhoods. Engaging future inhabitants in planning processes opens previously unseen potential for including consumerist possibilities for cities and developers. This paper illustrates that this new 4Ps participation method makes comprehensive participatory planning and development possible through giving an opportunity to include consumers' opinions and needs into an alternative to traditional communicative planning.

“…Broadly speaking, relatively more foreigners from Latin speaking countries are located in the French part of Switzerland, while residents from German speaking countries and ex-Yugoslavia are more represented in the central and oriental part of Switzerland (see Huissoud et al, 1999a, for a description of the distribution of foreign population in the different regions of Switzerland). Indeed, differences in lifestyles between the different socio-economic groups may explain differences in location choices (see e. g. Scheiner and Kasper, 2003, for a discussion). Piguet (2004) explains that since 1950, Switzerland has experienced two periods of high immigration flows, the first from 1958 to 1967, and the second during the 1980s.…”

“…Many studies have considered housing location and transportation decisions from the perspective of lifestyle choice (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). Increasingly in recent years, researchers have been abandoning the conventional notion of cost optimization in favor of subjective notions such as attitude and lifestyle.…”

Relationship between Households' Housing and Transportation Expenditures

Because of growing concern about the significant increase in American household transportation costs, federal agencies have endorsed the notion that it is not merely the affordability of housing alone that is important but the affordability of housing and transportation taken together. Most transportation studies have focused on the relationship between the costs of housing and commuting. Thus the relationship between household expenditures on housing and overall transportation has remained mostly unexamined. With the use of U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey data, this study made an effort to bridge the gap in the existing knowledge base through an examination of this relationship. In the absence of theories about the relationship between the two types of expenditures, this study leaned heavily on a stream of literature on lifestyle choice, which was advanced to explain the absence of a trade-off between the costs of housing and commuting postulated by urban economic theorists. To account for endogeneity between household expenditures on housing and transportation, three-stage least-squares models were used with the two types of expenditures defined in dollar amounts and as shares of income. For the sake of comparison, a third model, which defined the two types of expenditures as shares of household total expenditures, was used. The relationship between the two types of expenditures varied depending on the definition used. In addition, the models showed the way in which dwelling type, building age, number of household automobiles, public transit use, and metropolitan area size affected transportation expenditure. The implications are discussed.
