“…According to this approach an individual’s life consists of a series of transitions or life events that are interlinked (e.g. ageing, changes in family structure such as the birth of children, changes in career and income) and which lead to particular life trajectories and in turn influence residential behaviour and housing needs (Boumeester, 2011; Kulu and Milewski, 2007). People are most likely to change their housing conditions in response to those key events in their life course due to changing needs and expectations in relation to housing and residential environment (Clark and Onaka, 1983; Clark et al, 1984; Rossi, 1980).…”

Since the 1990s the inner city residential areas of CEE post-socialist cities have experienced substantial physical and social transformation. Previous studies have recorded a gradual rehabilitation of inner city housing stock and the displacement of lower status groups by middle and higher social status residents, but they have also shown that diverse social groups continue to live in the inner city. The scholarly emphasis on identifying the macro-scale factors that influence inner city change has resulted in a lack of studies considering micro-scale processes. We therefore herein attempt to address this gap in the literature by providing qualitative insight into the drivers of inner city dynamics at the level of the individual actors concerned. Our study is based on an investigation of two second-tier cities: Tartu in Estonia and České Budějovice in the Czech Republic. We found that, besides supply side factors which emphasise the conditions of urban spatial fabric, relocations to inner cities can best be explained by a combination of household socio-economic, life course and lifestyle factors. We also provide a typology of relocators to post-socialist inner cities, based on our findings.

“…The findings are based on a sample that covers solo respondents aged 20 to 69 years old in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (HMA) (n = 1 453). Although the data is not a representative sample of this population, it allows for an examination of the discrepancies between the current and desired dwelling features in order to gain knowledge about housing demand (see Boumeester, 2011). For the sake of transparency, the sample was compared with the HMA population at the time of the survey being conducted.…”

“…Sometimes the scale of inquiry is not sufficiently detailed, as is the case with studies focusing on the changing demographics in urban areas (Buzar et al, 2005;Hall et al, 1997). This is expected to be caused by the nature of data as the statistics are unable to reflect the combination of household features and dwelling features (Boumeester, 2011; see also Hasu et al, 2017).…”

“…This paper addresses the following research question: how much space and what type of domestic space is needed by solo dwellers? The objective is to provide knowledge for the actors steering housing supply, that is, architects, planners, developers, and policy makers (Gao et al, 2013; see also Boumeester, 2011) as well as to develop field-specific methods for housing studies. The findings are discussed in a country-specific context, which renders them meaningful as is typical in housing issues and design disciplines (Gao et al, 2013;Paadam et al, 2016;Özsoy & Gökmen, 2018).…”

“…Intrinsic attributes are interior living space (Cupchik, Ritterfeld, & Levin, 2003) and extrinsic attributes are exterior design and exterior space (Bhatti & Church, 2004) to neighbourhood and locational indicators such as environmental qualities. Housing features are divided into two types known as dwelling and environmental features (Boumeester, 2011). Housing attributes are integral to shaping perception about housing quality which is correlated with feelings about neighbourhoods.…”
