공동주택의 규약에 의한 반려동물 사육제한

When a dispute occurs between other residents and pet owners in a condomimium, the current legal system has no choice but to resolve it through the regulations of management rules in condominiums. General restrictions of apartment housing inevitably have abstraction, but there are various aspects of disputes related to companion animals. Compared to other disturbances in common life such as noise and odor, the cause of disturbance of pets is difficult to control, and ordering the removal of the cause of disturbance may seriously infringe on the rights of residents.
 The purpose of this article is to study ‘reasonableness review’ cases of the United States to examine the criteria for judging the validity of the covenant that restrict pet breeding, especially when residents of condominium are restricted by management rules in condominiums. The most important case on the regulations limiting pet ownership is the Nahrsteht case, in which the California Supreme Court newly strengthened the judicial review criteria for violations of the management regulations by preventing residents from considering special situational factors. The standard of rationality is sometimes called the “California Standard,” because California first specified the standard in case law. Therefore, we will examine in detail the criteria for judging the “reasonable standard” of the U.S. California Court on the application of the management rules in condominiums.

On-Site Solid Waste Handling Practice and Associated Factors among Condominium Residents in Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia, 2021: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

Solid waste is one type of waste that is released from human day-to-day activities and it is considered useless or unwanted for further use. Population growth, rapid urbanization, a booming economy, and an increase in the standards of living of the community have substantially enhanced the rate of solid waste generation in developing countries. Solid wastes can be used as a resource for industrial production or energy generation. However, it causes environmental and human health problems due to poor management. There is scanty information about on-site solid waste management practice in the study area. Therefore, assessing on-site solid management practices and their associated factors, especially for condominium residents is very important. To assess on-site solid waste handling practice and its associated factors among condominium residents in Gondar city, northwest Ethiopia, 2021. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 1 to June 15/2021 among condominium residents in Gondar city. The study included a total of 450 condominium households, with a 99.3% response rate. A binary logistic regression model was used to assess the association between dependent and independent variables. Those variables which have a p value <0.25 in the bivariate analysis were entered into a multivariable logistic regression model. A p value of less than 0.05 with 95% CI was considered a statistically significant factor. In this study, 79.8% with 95% CI (76.4%, 83.3%) of condominium residents had poor on-site solid waste handling practices. The finding also showed that 42.2% and 50.2% of study participants have favorable attitudes and good knowledge towards on-site solid waste handling practices, respectively. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, male household heads (AOR = 1.90; 95% CI, 1.11-3.28), large family size (AOR = 1.87; 95% CI, 1.03-3.40), negative attitude towards on-site solid waste handling practices (AOR = 1.79; 95% CI, 1.07-3.00), not receiving training (AOR = 3.40; 95% CI, 1.77-6.55), and not having legal enforcement (AOR = 2.85; 95% CI, 1.39-5.84) were significantly associated with on-site solid waste handling practices. The on-site solid waste handling practice of condominium households was very poor. The provision of training and enforcement of rules regarding solid waste handling is necessary.

Does location matter? The spatial equity implications of the Integrated Housing Development Program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

ABSTRACT As Africa is rapidly urbanizing, there is perhaps no other urban policy area more pressing than the elimination of slums along with the development of equitable access to affordable housing for low-income residents, which requires immediate attention. Ethiopia has taken on this challenge through its Integrated Housing Development Program (IHDP), a policy that incorporates slum clearance and resettlement through a government-led development of condominium housing targeting those displaced and other low- and middle-income households. However, construction of most condominiums has taken place at large-scale conglomerations on periphery of the city considered peri-urban. These sites are far from the city center where slum clearance took place and where most social and economic activity continue to be concentrated. Utilizing a survey instrument, this study examines the mediating effect of IHDP residents’ perception of access to public, urban facilities, and transportation condition, two dimensions of spatial equity. The analysis found that those living at peri-urban IHDP sites perceive lower levels of spatial equity compared to urban IHDP condominium residents. Moreover, peri-urban residents’ perception of spatial equity is a statistically significant mediating factor on the relationship between their location and lower levels of overall satisfaction living at their IHDP condominiums.

Residential preferences based on life stage groups of residents and factors related to types of intentions to continue living in or relocating from super-high-rise condominiums

ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the residential preference characteristics of super-high-rise condominium residents in Kawasaki, Japan, and their intentions to continue living in the super-high-rise condominiums or relocating based on their life stage groups, of which there are eight types. We analysed the factors related to their intentions to stay or relocate. We determined the reasons and motivations behind the selection of their current homes in high-rise buildings, and found that more residents chose their homes because of their preference for redevelopment areas to high-rise condominiums. Approximately 70% of the residents intended to continue living in their current homes for more than 20 years, while 18% of them intended to continue living in the same area following relocation, because of the attractiveness of the area. After establishing the types of relocation and analysing the influencing factors, it was found that the important influencing factors were the age group, space of the residential area, emphasis on the townscape and topicality, and emphasis on commercial facilities. Particularly in the younger generation, there were various reasons for relocation depending on the emphasis of the local environment.

One of the ways to solve the problemis to provide a quality information campaign to raise publicawareness of: financial capabilities for apartment buildings;better practices of project activities of OSBB buildings.

ACEITABILIDADE DO USO DE ÁGUA DA CHUVA POR MORADORES DE CONJUNTOS HABITACIONAIS DA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE BELÉM

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a aceitabilidade do uso de água da chuva por moradores de conjuntos habitacionais de Belém e Ananindeua, Pará, Brasil, e ainda verificar a existência de Sistema de Aproveitamento de Água da Chuva – SAAC, nesses locais. A pesquisa foi realizada com 160 moradores dos conjuntos habitacionais Gleba 1, Jardim Tropical e Residencial Jardim Universitário e a maioria declarou que utilizaria água da chuva em suas residências, destinando-a, principalmente, para usos mais gerais. Apenas 23,1% deles relataram que poderiam utilizar para consumo humano. Em nenhum dos conjuntos estudados havia SAAC para uso coletivo, mas no Jardim Tropical identificou-se em uma residência um SAAC de uso familiar. Considera-se que a boa aceitabilidade dos moradores de condomínios residenciais de Belém e Ananindeua para uso da água da chuva um fator preponderante à implantação de SAAC nestes tipos de empreendimento, tanto para uso familiar quanto coletivo.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Água da chuva, Fonte alternativa de água, Região Metropolitana de Belém.

“Fiercely independent”: Experiences of aging in the right place of older women living alone with physical limitations

This study explores the experience of aging among older Canadian women with physical limitations who live by themselves. While aging in place has been a policy priority in rapidly greying Canada, a lack of complementary public supports poses challenges for many older adults and their family members. Employing a qualitative methodology, and drawing from the notion of aging in the right place, we collected personal narratives of 12 women (aged 65 to 92) in two geographic areas in Ontario, including residents of regular houses, apartments, condominiums, assisted living and community housing for seniors. Through thematic analysis, we identified four overarching themes: 1) striving to continue on “at home”, 2) living as a “strong independent woman”, 3) the help needed to support their “independence”, and 4) social activities to maintain self. Our findings illustrate how, despite their mobility limitations, older women can change their residential environment and their behavior by deploying the coping strategies and resources they have developed over time. However, we also found that older women are largely silent about their needs, and that experiences varied depending on life histories, health conditions, and the availability of supports in their wider environment (home care, alternative housing options, accessible transportation, opportunities for social and physical activities). We hope these findings will incite further studies and discussion to help make aging in the right place a real choice for anyone who wishes to do so.

Is cohousing good for democracy? Comparing political participation among residents of cohousing communities and traditional condominium developments

ABSTRACT This study assesses the argument that cohousing constitutes a politically fertile form of civil-society association, which hones political skills and cultivates political efficacy among residents, by comparing self-reported political participation levels of residents of cohousing and residents of condominiums. This design allows for more causal leverage than found in past research. However, the findings are still exploratory. Data from a nationwide survey of residents of cohousing and condominium developments in the U.S. were used to test the hypothesis that cohousing residents participate in politics at a higher level than do residents of condominiums. While the sample was small (n = 311), the results suggest both a strong self-selection effect among residents of cohousing and independent effects for involvement in housing-community practices and activism. The results also suggest that residents of condominiums increase their political participation due to cohousing-like practices and activism. Overall, the findings constitute a tentative step toward establishing causation, thus augmenting earlier research on cohousing as a form of civil society that fosters political engagement, and potentially bolster a civil-society case for repurposing condominiums into cohousing communities.

Awareness and Initiatives Taken by the Residents of Condominium in a Metro City to Prevent Infection (COVID-19) Spread - A Survey

Conspicuous consumption and household indebtedness

AbstractUsing a novel, large data set of consumer transactions in Singapore, we study how conspicuous consumption affects household indebtedness. The coexistence of private housing (condominiums) and subsidized public housing (Housing Development Board [HDB]) allows us to identify conspicuous consumers. Conditional on income and other socioeconomic characteristics, those who choose to reside in condominiums—considered a status good in Singapore—are likely to be more conspicuous than their counterparts living in HDB units. We find that condominium residents spend considerably more (by 25%) on conspicuous goods but not differently on inconspicuous goods. Compared with their matched HDB counterparts, these consumers with higher conspicuous motivation carry 7% more credit card debt and 108% more delinquent credit card debt. Our results suggest that status‐seeking‐induced conspicuous consumption is an important determinant of household indebtedness.

This study aims to study to examine the success of the condominium housing development program. The result of the study revealed that the housing development office is constructing and distributing condominium-housing units with slower pace. Settlement in high-rise residential condominium housing saves land from encroachment and improper utilization. The open space reserved at sites of condominium is not proportional to the number of residents, and it is not used properly. Residents of condominium are satisfied with their spatial accessibility to some selected social and infrastructural service centers. At some sites, the roads leading to or passing along sites of condominium is not paved or asphalted. Of residents, those who moved to their condominium unit before the proper functioning of the installation suffered from the problem of water and electric power for four to eight months. The strength of social interaction among residents of condominium is weaker. When residents move to their condominium unit, they quit their membership of Ekub and Iddir associations, to which they were member and the livelihood activities that they were practicing at their former residence. Sound disturbance and theft crime are common social problems at sites of such settlement. &nbsp; Key words: Condominium, residents, housing.

Multi-family housing management in post-socialist countries: the Albanian experience

Condominium maintenance is a critical issue in Albania. After the fall of communism, the ownership and maintenance responsibilities of hundreds of thousands of flats that were constructed and owned by the state was transferred to their occupants. In the capital, Tirana, there was also a huge wave of new condominium construction after 1990. A new law on the management and maintenance of condominium building was recently adopted and is in the early stages of implementation. This article discusses how residents of condominiums actually manage the maintenance of their buildings in Tirana. It reveals that condominium laws have had little impact and that the performance of maintenance tasks is based on informal and often ad-hoc agreements, in keeping with the cultural norms of the society and the actual financial situation of the residents.

EARTHQUAKE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND LIFE OF HOMESTAY SYSTEM EVACUEES IN HIGH-RISE CONDOMINIUMS

The possibility of a huge earthquake affecting Tokyo in the future is high. In the event of such an earthquake, many people will face problems returning to their homes, causing complete disorder and confusion as it will be impossible for everyone to access emergency shelters. If buildings such as high-rise condominiums remain standing and safe, it will be desirable that their residents take refuge at home. In this study, we investigated the awareness of disaster mitigation needs using an internet survey of over 800 residents of high-rise condominiums (of 10 or more stories) in central Tokyo. Our results show that approximately 60% of residents would take refuge at home. However, almost none of the respondents had emergency supplies such as water, food, and other daily necessities. This lack of preparedness would result in many people needing to move to emergency shelters. By analyzing these results, we aim to develop a method for avoiding confusion in the aftermath of a disaster and educate building residents on their needs in a disaster situation and the preparatory actions they must take.

O capital incorporador de valores e os novos condomínios horizontais populares fechados

Atualmente a produção de condomínios horizontais populares fechados em cidades do interior de São Paulo vem apresentando significativo crescimento. O papel do capital incorporador, ao selecionar estrategicamente aspectos subjetivos que remetem a padrões de vida associados ao da elite, aliado à facilidade nos financiamentos, exerce significativo interesse a quem está à procura de uma casa própria. Porém, o tamanho pequeno das residências, a distância em que estão inseridos, além das regras e dos conflitos que permeiam o cotidiano nesses espaços, desmentem as promessas de uma melhor “qualidade de vida” a partir da aquisição de uma residência em um condomínio. Neste artigo, apresentamos parte da análise da pesquisa realizada a partir de entrevistas com moradores e futuros moradores de condomínios horizontais populares fechados em duas cidades paulistas: Presidente Prudente e São Carlos.&#x0D; &#x0D; Abstract &#x0D; &#x0D; THE BUILD-IN VALUE CAPITAL AND NEW POPULAR PRIVATE CONDOMINIUMS&#x0D; &#x0D; Currently, the production of horizontal condominiums popular in the cities of São Paulo, has shown significant growth. The role of the developer capital, selecting strategically subjective aspects that refer to standards of living associated with the elite, combined with the ease in financing, exercises significant interest to anyone who is looking to own a home. However, the small size of the homes, the distance at which they are inserted, in addition to the rules and conflicts that pervade everyday life in these spaces, belies the promises of a better ‘quality of life’ from the acquisition of a residence in a condominium. This article presents part of the analysis of research conducted through interviews with residents and future residents of popular condominiums closed in two Paulistas cities: Presidente Prudente and São Carlos.

Preference on Social Spaces in High Density Condominiums in Malaysia

Collective Action Dilemmas in Condominium Management

Condominium residents are reluctant to join the management committees (MCs) and contribute to the management of local public goods because of free-riding problems. In studying a sample of condominiums in Taipei, it is found that some degree of outsourcing to third party managers (TPMs) is necessary when the scale of local public goods increases. However, higher management fees paid to TPMs are not directly related to higher utilities derived by the residents in the use of local public goods. When self-selectivity in the outsourcing decision is controlled, the results show that the efficiency in the provision of local public goods increases with the effort levels of the MC members. The MC members who adopt a hands-off approach by fully delegating the management responsibilities to TPMs deliver lower pay-offs in the provision of public goods.
