“…Apart from all the above mentioned benefits of owning gated homes, individuals place a preference on gated homes because of the desire for exclusive lifestyle amenities (Cséfalvay, 2010;Rosen and Razin, 2009). In Malaysia, a typical gated neighborhood would have recreational facilities for the convenient usage of residents (Tan, 2011b).…”

“…There is an adequate amount of evidence to prove that facilities positively affect dwelling satisfaction in Malaysia. This is expected of since facilities such as convenience markets and the clubhouse located within the gated and guarded compound is able to make the lives of residents easier by catering to their daily needs within a short walking distance from their houses (Rosen and Razin, 2009). It is generally believed that a wider and fuller range of housing facilities would lead to a higher satisfaction level among residents.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to determine how satisfied homeowners are with their gated residences. Design/methodology/approach -This study starts out by examining the data collected through self-administered surveys to find out the satisfaction levels and motivations of homeowners toward their gated homes in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. This is then followed by regression analysis to examine the relationship between motivations of owing gated homes and residential satisfaction. Findings -The benefits that motivate households to purchase gated landed homes are "Safety and Security," "Financial Benefits" and "Social Status" and "Lifestyle Facilities." It also appears that the satisfaction levels of homeowners are to a certain extent, influenced by the benefits of owning a gated home. Research limitations/implications -It seems that when home buyers purchase houses these days, a major consideration is placed on whether or not the development is a gated one. Practical implications -The congruence and dissonance between residents and their housing situations are essential to prevent the decreasing quality of urban environment. Thus, this study can serve as a guide for urban planners and property developers in planning and designing of enclosed private residential developments. Furthermore, property developers can gain valuable insights on the gated home features that they should improve to meet each homebuyer's needs. Originality/value -Majority of the studies on residential satisfaction have been focussed on the evaluation of non-enclosure communities. There have only been a limited of studies examining the experience of residents in enclosed private residential environments in a developing country. Hence, this paper has contributed to the existing knowledge in the development of gated estates in a developing country.

“…Commentators have recorded the phenomenon across national contexts, under a diversity of denominations, all with contextual references and an emphasis on historical patterns of enclosures (Low, 2006;Bagaeen and Uduku, 2010): in Western Europe (Le Goix and Callen, 2010;Blandy, 2006;Raposo, 2006), in postcommunist Europe (Stoyanov and Frantz, 2006;Blinnikov et al, 2006;Cséfalvay, 2009), in the Arabian peninsula (Glasze and Alkhayyal, 2002), in Israël (Rosen andRazin, 2009), in China (Webster et al, 2006;Wu, 2005), in Southeast Asia and Australia (Kenna and Dunn, 2009), etc. Main motives have been identified, mainly hypothetical (Kenna and Dunn, 2009), although recent researches bring new empirical results (Cséfalvay and Webster, 2012).…”

Gated communities are enclosed residential subdivisions, privately operated under contractual agreements between homeowners, yielding an interlocking of access control, legal arrangements, and social interactions. Built as morphological enclaves with physical enclosures and security features, they are also designed to exclude others: property rights are implemented in property owners associations, the private governance structures regulating the selection of residents based on age, lifestyle, or social preferences. Gated neighborhoods are therefore viewed as securitization strategies for the subset of the public who seek comfort in social homogeneity.

“…Adding the aforementioned opposition, our purpose is to understand how accessibility can be newly analyzed and discussed. This opposition allows us to include topics like 'gated communities' (Hook and Vrdoljak, 2002;Abrahamson, 2004;Libertun de Duren, 2006;Vesselinov et al, 2007;Fahmi and Sutton, 2008;Van Melik et al, 2009;Rosen and Razin, 2009) or 'gentrification' (Márquez and Pérez, 2008;Vesselinov, 2008) into the analysis.…”

This article gives an overview of contemporary studies on landscape accessibility. We focus on the broadened meaning of the term, where accessibility is not delimited with territorial access. The overview of landscape accessibility is widened by post-structural approaches. Discursive, socio-political and semiotic aspects are introduced, and the examples of different emerging conflicts, such as exclusion, segregation, or the creation of different social identities, are presented. In the discussion, additional need for understanding accessibility as the creation of spaces for communication is argued pointing to the valuing of conflicting meanings in accessibility-inaccessibility opposition.
