“…This finding confirms the notion that the poor suffer disproportionately from eviction and from the event regeneration which is accompanied by the loss of affordable homes (Hiller, 1998;Horne & Manzenreiter, 2006). Our study complements not only the prior research of mega events (Greene, 2003;Hiller, 1998;Horne & Manzenreiter, 2006;Olds, 1998;Smith, 2009Smith, , 2012Smith & Fox, 2007) but also contributes to current literature by further providing first-hand evidence on Beijing housing transitions (Gao & Asami, 2011;Shin, 2009;Shin & Li, 2013;Yu & Cai, 2013).…”

a b s t r a c tThis article examines the impact of mega events on Beijing housing market from a behavioural perspective. By exploring the situation surrounding the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics, we analyse the relationship between mega-event regeneration and expected residential relocation outcomes. Our findings suggest that Beijing Olympic regeneration caused disadvantaged groups to anticipate relocation to undesirable areas, as a result of improved infrastructure, public security, and urban environment. Behavioural sciences research indicates that expectation influences decision-making by serving as a salient reference point. Agents who perceived themselves as in a disadvantaged position or holding a gloomy prospect of their future are more likely to end up in such a situation. This paper offers insights into an effect of mega event regeneration projects that has been largely overlooked in the literature, i.e., the expected housing relocation outcomes. The research calls for government intervention and public attention to this important behavioural aspect of mega-event effects.

“…Gao and Asami applied hedonic regression in 2011 to analyze the detriment variable of the apartment prices in Beijing and concluded that direction is one of the key variable, the unit price of a south-north oriented apartment is about 800 RMB/m 2 higher than those with east and west direction (Gao & Asami, 2011). But in thesis study, there are only 300 observations which are transacted in 12 weeks in May 2006.…”

This paper applies spatial hedonic econometric models to estimate the willingness of buyers to pay for dwellings with different orientations based on a data set comprising 63 306 transactions of secondhand apartment sales in 10 districts in Beijing from October 2011 to September 2014. Our results indicate that apartments with South orientation are sold at a 7.8% premium compared with those with West orientation, and that apartments in ancient city areas are more sensitive to orientation. The obtained results can help architects and developers to maximize the value of development projects by optimizing the layout of apartment units on each floor.

“…However, a study in Beijing found using a hedonic approach that the most popular house sizes were between 50 -60 and 80 -190 m 2 (Gao & Asami, 2011). Gordon, Travers, and Whitehead (2007) found that migrants to London had different space expectations, but over time came into line with the established population.…”

Lack of internal space is a problem in UK homes, and is often linked to a lack of space standards for housing in the UK. Although previous studies have examined new-build housing, this paper uses a new method to study 16 000 dwellings in the English Housing Survey (EHS) 2010 to examine existing housing and compare them with a modern space standard in an attempt to quantify the extent and magnitude of the problem. Dwellings in the survey were compared against a slightly modified version of the London Housing Design Guide 2010 internal space standard. It was found that between 21% and 55% of dwellings failed to meet the standard; and that flats and small terraced houses were most commonly below the standard. Dwellings were also frequently found to be under-occupied in comparison with the number of bedrooms. This research hypothesized that this was a result of the lack of space. To illustrate the use of this new analysis method, a recent change to the Housing Benefit system (colloquially known as the 'Bedroom Tax') has been considered. Households receiving Housing Benefit were more likely to be undersized, suggesting that the policy to withdraw housing benefits from these households may be misguided.
