“…Recently, in the context of the analysis of intraurban neighbourhoods, SOM has been used to examine geographical positions of neighbourhoods with similar demographic attributes (Spielman and Thill, 2008), to define or examine changes within housing sub-markets (Kauko, 2004, 2009a, 2009b) or of indicators related to neighbourhood deprivation (Pisati et al ., 2010). A host of applications of self-organising maps within the geographical discipline can be found in the edited volume by Agarwal and Skupin (2008).…”

This paper provides an empirical analysis of the multidimensional, spatio-temporal quality of life (QoL) trends followed by neighbourhoods in Charlotte, NC, between 2000 and 2010. Employing a combined geocomputational and visual technique based on the self-organising map, the study addresses which types of neighbourhood experienced the most change or stability, where (in attribute and geographical spaces) did neighbourhoods that began the decade with a particular set of characteristics evolve to, and where did neighbourhoods that concluded the decade transition from? Results indicate that the highest QoL neighbourhoods were most stable, while those with lower homeownership, closer to the city centre, exhibited the sharpest longitudinal trajectories. Lower-income neighbourhoods are found to be heterogeneous in terms of their social problems, dividing between high crime concentrations and youth-related social problems. An exchange of these social issues over time is observed as well as a geographical spread of crime to middle-ring suburbs.

“…However, their future prospects remain indebted to new global and national vectors of change -which have reinforced pockets of socio-economic degradation and inflicted patterns of gentrification (Kauko, 2009;Temelova et al, 2011) -and local factors, such as market lead gentrification, public interventions and resident involvement (Hrast & Dekker, 2009;Sendi, 2009). In Romanian estates, market-lead processes of densification have become evident.…”

Socio-economic and physical change has visibly affected post-socialist cities, yet the state of decay of their inherited large housing estates has only deepened throughout the 1990s, despite of the change in tenure through IntroductionUnder the macro-economic constraints of post-communist restructuring since 1989, Eastern European governments have launched neo-liberal policies of large scale housing privatisation and overall state retreat from housing provision. Consequently, owner-occupation has reached over 93 percent of the housing stock in most Eastern European countries, and in Romanian large housing estates it has surpassed 99 percent (NIS, 2005). The state of decay of these estates has deepened throughout the 1990s. In order to take on their new responsibilities, flat-owners were challenged from two major directions. First, a comprehensive regulatory framework able to sustain a market-driven housing system, including condominium management, was until recently non-existent. documented (Hardin & Baden, 1977;Olson, 1971;Ostrom, 1990), this was likely to spur dilemmas of collective action and thus, asset degradation. Second, the macro-economic reforms of transition, global economic change and laissez-faire state policies throughout the 1990s have engendered an affordability crisis affecting both access to housing and the running costs of utilities and repairs. Whose housing problems?Besides the politico-economic rationale of early post-communist reforms, it was nonetheless hoped that decentralization and housing privatisation would stimulate local actors to improve housing quality and availability. In particular, households would begin to address the deferred maintenance problems of their newly privatized dwellings whereas local governments would engage in the delivery of housing services and assist social housing needs. This challenge of shaping new roles and attitudes among housing actors requires a discussion of the concept of ownership and its bundle of collective rights, which are prone to social dilemmas. The social contract of ownershipBroadly speaking, the paradigmatic change experienced by Eastern Europe has been twice engineered through the mechanism of property rights. Prior communist policies of nationalisation were reversed by post-communist policies of privatisation and restitution,

“…However, some of the experts noted that a sustainability premium is increasingly being recognised for certain modern features of the building. Table 3 shows the findings from a nationwide survey undertaken by Farkas and colleagues [38] on how various aspects of energy efficiency of homes affect the selfassessed house value by owners. These results are based on a survey of homeowners where the property characteristics were recorded and the owners were asked to assess the value of their house.…”

Sustainable development is conceptualised along three dimensions: environmental-ecologic, social-cultural and economic-financial. In this study sustainability is defined in terms of three specific evaluation criteria: quality, affordability and diversity. Evidence from Budapest suggests that quality varies (new versus old in particular), affordability is low and diversity, while high overall, is very limited within new developments. While the situation for property developments are weak, fortunately, amid an otherwise bleak situation, prospects for a minority of innovative and adaptable developers who operate in market niches are encouraging as these foster a relatively sustainable development in terms of one or more of the three dimensions. Moreover, in the longer term particular opportunities for sustainable development are likely to open as the maintenance of the new stock is more affordable and of better quality than the old stock.
