“…Accordingly, the following macrolevel factors which have been influencing the development trajectories of housing estates can be distinguished: the economic situation in particular regions; the position of a city in the urban system; the position of a city relative to important regional centres; and, the overall attractiveness of a city. Gough et al (2006) argued that, while the geography of employment mainly explains the differences between regions, a mixture of employment, housing and transport causes variations at more local spatial scales. Therefore, the locally specific conditions and institutional circumstances of particular cities play a very important role in the social and physical differentiation of housing estates at the intraurban level.…”

The main purpose of this paper is to identify ongoing changes in post-socialist large housing estates and to clarify their main factors, using a case study approach. The paper examines the transformations of nine housing estates in the third largest Polish city -Łódź. The transformations were analysed in two dimensions: social (socio-demographic changes) and physical (changes in the spatial and functional structure and changes in the physiognomy). The key question was whether the changes occurring in large housing estates in Łódź protect them before the development of the social and physical degradation, identified in many estates in Western Europe, referred as the "large housing estate syndrome". Research has shown that in examined housing estates there are no symptoms of physical or social degradation. Moreover, processes found there contribute to the prevention of the negative phenomena leading to the development of the "large housing estate syndrome".

“…Geographers can contribute to these studies by situating SN agents within the context of the geography: a complex topological landscape of interwoven social and spatial processes in constant flux. Geographers and GIS analysts can unearth the infrastructure and 'unwritten' social rules (Gough et al 2006) that hinder or enable the creation and maintenance of the interpersonal relationships found in the SNs.…”

Today, online social media outlets provide new and plentiful sources of data on social networks (SNs) and location-based social networks (LBSNs), i.e., geolocated evidence of connections between individuals. While SNs have been used to show how the magnitude of social connectivity decreases with distance, there are few examples of how to include SNs as layers in a GISystem. If SNs, and thus, interpersonal relationships, could be analyzed in a geographic information system (GIS) setting, we could better model how humans socialize, share information, and form social groups within the complex geographic landscape.Our goal is to facilitate a guide for analyzing SNs (as derived from online social media, telecommunications, surveys, etc.) within geographic space by combining the mature fields of social network analysis (SNA) and GISystems. First, we describe why modeling socialization in geographic space is essential for understanding human behavior. We then outline best practices and techniques for embedding SN nodes and edges in GISystems by introducing terms like 'social flow' and 'anthrospace', and categorizations for data and spatial aggregation types. Finally, we explore case study vignettes of SNA within GISystems from diverse regions located in Bolivia, China, Côte d'Ivoire, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, using concepts such as geolocated dyads, egoalter relationships, node feature roles, modularity, and network transitivity.

“…The focus is upon how individuals in everyday local interactions produce and retain means of resisting social control and discursive regulation and express it through 'survival' strategies. Whilst this is different from the concept of 'collective resistance' in terms of, for instance, social movements organised around large scale social change, the evidence suggested that location into settled housing often comes to represent a 'space' of social exclusion (Gough et al, 2006) as well as further fields and sites of resistance and means to engage with alternatives to enhance health and wellbeing (Niner, 2003(Niner, , 2004Gidley and Rooke, 2008).…”

Gypsies and Travellers have historically been afforded low priority in research into their health and wellbeing despite evidence of negative social and health and wellbeing experiences in daily living. This article presents a narrative review of the literature around the health and wellbeing of Gypsies and Travellers in settled housing. From the evidence, two themes emerge. The first one demonstrates that the experience of settled housing is often detrimental to the health and wellbeing of Gypsies and Travellers. The second theme suggests that Gypsies and Travellers often attempt to minimise the negative impacts of the shift into settled housing to assist in enhancing health and wellbeing. The article then proceeds to suggest how health and wellbeing researchers and social policy makers can further develop the evidence base and the policy and practices responses required as a result.
