“…The way in which land is utilized influences traffic congestion (Kafrawy et al, 2022). Moreover, Xiao et al (2021) found that a lack of affordable housing near workplaces increases commuting times, thus contributing to traffic congestion. Similarly, Sarzynski et al (2006) explained that densely populated urban areas with concentrated activities experience higher volumes of automobiles and traffic delays.…”

There is a noticeable dearth of empirical studies on the mediating role of travel behaviour on the influence of residential density on traffic congestion in developing countries, particularly in Zimbabwe. To address this gap, this study examined the effect of residential density on traffic congestion and delved into the potential mediating role of travel behaviour in this relationship. This study used data from a sample of 384 households in the Harare metropolitan province of Zimbabwe. Structural equation modelling was used to test the research hypotheses. The findings indicate that residential density and travel behaviour have a positive effect on traffic congestion. The results also established that travel behaviour partially mediates the relationship between residential density and traffic congestion. This study adds to the existing body of knowledge by providing an array of indicators that can inform policymakers in transportation and urban planning to alleviate traffic congestion.

“…The results point to a high disparity between accessibility levels, especially in the accessibility to jobs. Xiao et al (2021) found evidences that the rapid process of urbanization and urban expansion also impacts the travel costs and limits job accessibility for the economically disadvantaged population. Such an issue also contributes to housing cost and affordability.…”

Over the years, private housing prices skyrocketed and the high demand to own private housing remained unmet. Prices influenced the perception of affordability and would also affect the demand for private housing. The urgency to understand the intertwined relationships between housing cost (prices), affordability, and demand especially in the COVID-19 pandemic situation is high. Hence, this research aimed to quantify the relationship or impact of rising prices on the private housing affordability and its demand. The results from this research could conclude that soaring prices lowered the affordability of buyers and delay the purchase of private property shortly. However, the demand to purchase a private property was higher with rising prices suggesting that higher prices indicate more wealth and potential to own a more valuable asset. Affordability is a temporary barrier to own private properties. This implied that the wealth effect from properties likely outweighed that of the consumption or income substitution effect. This understanding of the relative impacts between housing cost, affordability, and demand would contribute significantly to policymaking in providing signals and advice for policymakers to priorities social mobility or investment return from the property market.

“…The city is a central hub of the economy, culture, government, and politics, and therefore that it has an appeal for people to come and stay (MacLeod, 2011;Qian et al, 2021). A city's population grows yearly, resulting in an imbalance of space and work opportunities (Xiao et al, 2021). The level of competition in life is high and difficult.…”

In Padangsidempuan, Indonesia, the Sangkumpal Bonang market is a prominent place for individuals begging. A beggar is a person who earns money in public in various ways in the hopes of receiving charity from others and who engages in activities by exploiting physical impairments to make others feel sorry for them. In addition, some beggars deliberately create physical disabilities and poverty that lead to feelings of compassion from others. However, these beggars’ lives are not as poor as it seems; they live decent and luxurious life. The research focuses on how persons who engage in begging activities manage their front stage, backstage, and impressions. Through a study of dramaturgy, this study employs a qualitative methodology. The results demonstrate that beggars verbally managed impressions by saying, “have mercy, sir, madam.” Using bowls as a symbol of asking, beggars with unclean clothes, sorrowful faces, and sluggish movements remove their hands. Their onstage image takes advantage of physical handicaps, pretending to be crippled, and living an impoverished and nomadic existence to elicit sympathy. It contrasts with a figure in the backstage appearance who is in good physical condition, goes about her daily activities, dresses well, smiles, lives in luxury, and has good social contacts with her family and society.
