“…Such work underscored the theory that public institutions and their attendant “street level bureaucrats” (Lipsky, 1980) were inadequate to the task of community improvement. Policy makers recommended replacing housing authorities with private management firms to generate improvements (Becker, Dluhy, and Topinka, 2001). But this placed public hopes for socioeconomic improvements into the invisible hands of the market.…”

Developing mixed-income communities has drawn increased attention from sociologists and other researchers in recent years, generating sharp debates over equitable access, the nature of community, and the role of policy. Debates over social relations and social influence in mixed-income communities have often overlooked what formal institutions-as opposed to race, class, and other predictors of informal neighboring-contribute to social life. This study uses ethnographic fieldwork, document analysis, and semistructured interviews in a mixed-income housing community in Boston to examine the forces shaping relationships within and across social boundaries. The results show how formal structuring of the community dissuaded interaction among neighbors. Buttressed by macrostructural forces, the private management company that ran the development discouraged interaction through rules, social signaling, and explicit communication. INTRODUCTION Studies of informal community life dominate research on residential communities. Contemporary ethnographies and survey work have explored the dynamics among residents of poor neighborhoods, public housing projects, gentrifying enclaves, and middle-class

“…Kicklighter (1986) has observed that the concept of adequate housing implies more than just a dwelling, but includes all that is within the dwelling and the creation of a conducive environment in which people live and grow. Bauer (1951) has also observed that a dwelling that is adequate from the engineering or design point of view may not necessarily be adequate or satisfactory from the inhabitant's point of view. The house is only one link in a chain of factors which determine people's overall satisfaction level.…”

This pspei examines tenants* satisfaction with public housing in Lagos, Nigeria. This was accomplished hy assessing the levels of housing satisfaction of the general population and the degrees of satisfaction of tenants living in selected public housing estates within Lagos metropolis. Three (3) major housing components -environment (E). dwelling (D), and management ( M), were identified and employed for this study. Six (6), representing 10% of estates, were randomly selected from forty (40) public housing estates in Lagos. Subsequently, questionnaires were administered to 1.022 (10%), of households from the total of 12.323 households in the selected estates ofthe study area. The data obtained from the surwy were analyzed in two stages. First, is the use of descriptive analysis such as frequency tabulation to assess the general levels of tenants' housing satisfaction, and second, is the use of Satisfaction Indices (RSI) to determine the degree of tenants' satisfaction with each ofthe housing components identified for the study. The results ofthe analysis indicate ihat llie level of tenants' housing satisfaction varies and is dependent on the environment, dwelling and management interaction systems. It demonstrated that the level of tenants' satisfaction with the housing environnant and dwellings was above average (adequately satisfactory), but their level of satisfaction with the housing management was below average (unsatisfactory). The study shows that users' inputs and preferences should be strongly considered hy planners and public housing agencies ttiien planning and designing public housing projects.

“…the applied social scientist is concerned not merely with identifying predictively potent independent variables, but also with discovering some that are accessible to control. (Gouldner, 1957, p. 97) An applied research program makes an attempt to identify variables that can be manipulated by practitioners (Bauer, 1951;Gouldner, 1957). Controllable variables such as business strategies are desirable because they enable entrepreneurs to directly influence survival, growth, and success.…”

Research in the pre-paradigmatic, applied scientific field of entrepreneurship is characterized mainly as exploratory. This article advocates for a considerable shift toward a more effective applied research agenda. An applied research program is proposed based on modifications to a Lakatosian research program. The agenda extends beyond typical calls for more replication work to include a focus on practical outcomes, practical significance, and surprising findings among other things. The intent is to produce substantially more practical knowledge-knowledge that is useful to entrepreneurs, policy makers, educators, and scholars.
