When Are Neighbourhoods Communities? Community in Dutch Neighbourhoods

“…For example, the theory of limited liability holds that neighbourhood involvement is depending on the degree to which people have invested in the neighbourhood and the attempt to safeguard these investments (see e.g. Greer, 1972;Janowitz, 1952;Hunter and Suttles, 1972;Lee et al, 1991). Or take compression theory (e.g.…”

“…Warren, 1986), which implies that the importance of neighbourhoods is related to the constraints upon people's options for the choice of interaction partners. For example, if people are restricted in their means for transportation they will develop more local contacts (Lee et al, 1991).…”

The Shape of Mobility: Measuring the Distance Decay Function of Household Mobility

“…Second, whereas we found that renters move shorter distances than owners, on average, which is consistent with extant literature (Clark 1986), we also detected that this gap between renters and owners is only present for shorter moves and evaporates for the very longest moves. The fact that owners are less likely to make shorter moves is likely consistent with the evidence that they are typically more satisfied with their neighborhood (Hipp 2009;Lu 1999) as well as more attached to the neighborhood (Lee, Campbell, and Miller 1991;Mesch and Manor 1998) , which likely limits the number of short distance moves they make. Third, the differences in mobility distances among households based on race/ethnicity were particularly striking:…”

“…However, this may also occur because renters are less attached to the neighborhood than owners (Lee, Campbell, and Miller 1991;Mesch and Manor 1998) and less satisfied (Hipp 2009;Hipp 2010;Lu 1999), both of which will increase mobility. This suggests that renters will be more likely to make short distance moves given their lack of attachment to, or satisfaction with, the neighborhood, even if they do not differ in likelihood for making long-distance moves.…”

La satisfacción de residentes con su colonia y el programa gubernamental Tu Casa en el estado de Zacatecas

“…Se ha usado el tipo de vivienda, el tipo de colonia, la condición migratoria, así como otras variables regionales, demográficas y socioeconómicas. En particular se ha estudiado cómo difiere la satisfacción con la colonia de: los residentes locales y los extranjeros (Li, 2012;Oktay et al, 2012); los residentes beneficiarios de programas de vivienda gubernamentales en áreas urbanas frente a los de los sitios suburbanos (Cook, 1988); los residentes en áreas centrales en comparación con los que viven en la periferia de las áreas centrales (Loo, 1986); los residentes en suburbios convencionales respecto a los que viven en colonias que tienen diseños tradicionales (Lavejoy et al, 2010); las personas que residen en colonias con dife-rentes esquemas o tipos de vivienda (Djebami y Al-Abed, 2000;Gruber y Shelton, 1987); los residentes de acuerdo con su raza (Greif, 2009;Lee et al, 1991;Hunter, 1974;Campbell et al, 1976;Fried, 1982;Ahlbrandt, 1984); las comunidades compactas frente a las mixtas, que concentran los lugares de empleo y vivienda, así como el uso eficiente del suelo y la reducción de las distancias (Yang, 2008); las comunidades que cobran cuotas de mantenimiento en contraposición con aquellas que no tienen esa práctica (Chapman y Lombard, 2006). Asimismo se ha analizado la influencia de las características sociodemográficas y el tipo de colonia (clasificadas en áreas afluentes y desfavorecidas) en el grado de satisfacción con la colonia (Hipp, 2009;Parkes et al, 2002), así como la influencia de la mezcla de residentes, en términos del régimen de propiedad en la colonia (Kearns y Mason, 2007).…”
