코로나19 전후 고령가구 주거이동 실태 비교연구

This study aimed to analyze changes in the housing mobility patterns of elderly households nationwide before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the determinants influencing their intention to move, using microdata from Korea housing survey. The analysis utilized binary logistic regression, considering the characteristics of the dependent variable. The main findings of this study are as follows. First, there were significant differences in the determinants influencing the elderly households’ intention to move before and after COVID-19. The determinants include the number of household members, monthly average total disposable income and residential environment satisfaction. Second, after COVID-19, elderly households tend to have an increased preference for urban areas with relatively good residential environments. Third, a polarization in housing mobility between urban and non-urban areas was observed among the elderly after COVID-19. This study aimed to interpret the implications and motivations of residential mobility choices through a micro-level analysis of the residential mobility of the elderly, which has been discussed collectively due to the small number of cases. This study also confirmed that in order to ensure housing stability for the elderly, senior employment policies should be implemented concurrently. According to the findings, it is it is necessary to implement localized senior housing alternatives that reflect the changing residential mobility needs of the elderly. Furthermore, the reconfiguration of urban infrastructure to accommodate the aging population should be prioritized in elderly housing policies, in line with the pace of population aging.

Reverence and Reciprocity in Prioritization of Care to a Parent: The Role of Cultural Ecologies and Implications for Decolonizing Relationality.

Relationship research in the dominant psychological science portrays the prioritization of conjugal over consanguine relationships as a healthy standard. We argue that this "standard" pattern is only evident in cultural ecologies of independence. Drawing on the Confucian concept of filial piety, we conducted five studies and two mini meta-analyses to normalize the prioritization of mother over spouse. Cultural ecologies were operationalized by a variety of indexes, including histories of residential mobility, country, manipulated relational/residential mobility, and race. While participants situated in cultural ecologies of independence prioritized care to spouse over mother, participants inhabited in interdependence prioritized care to mother over spouse. Both American and Chinese participants showed greater prioritization of care for mother over spouse when they imagined a relational ecology of interdependence versus independence. Authoritarian filial piety mediated cultural-ecological variation on relational prioritization. Results illuminate cultural-ecological foundations of care and naturalize love as dutiful fulfillment of obligation.

Predictors of early life residential mobility in urban and rural Pennsylvania children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and implications for environmental exposure assessment.

Residential mobility can introduce exposure misclassification in pediatric epidemiology studies using birth address only. We examined whether residential mobility varies by sociodemographic factors and urbanicity/rurality among children with cancer. Our study included 400 children born in Pennsylvania during 2002-2015 and diagnosed with leukemia at ages 2-7 years. Addresses were obtained from state registries at birth and diagnosis. We considered three aspects of mobility between birth and diagnosis: whether a child moved, whether a mover changed census tract, and distance moved. We evaluated predictors of these aspects in urban- and rural-born children using chi-square, t-tests, and regression analyses. Overall, 58% of children moved between birth and diagnosis; suburban/rural-born children were more likely to move than urban-born children (67% versus 57%). The mean distance moved was 16.7 km in suburban/rural-born and 14.8 km in urban-born movers. In urban-born children, moving between birth and diagnosis was associated with race, education, participation in the Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), and census tract-level income (all χ2 p < 0.01). Urban-born movers tended to be born in a census tract with a higher Social Vulnerability Index than non-movers (t-test p < 0.01). No factors were statistically significantly associated with any of the residential mobility metrics in suburban/rural-born children, although the sample size was small. In this study of a vulnerable population of children with cancer, we found that rural-born children were more likely to move than urban-born children, however, the frequency of movers changing census tracts was equivalent. Mobility in urban-born children, but not rural-born, was associated with several social factors, although the sample size for rural-born children was small. Mobility could be an important source of misclassification depending on the spatial heterogeneity and resolution of the exposure data and whether the social factors are related to exposures or health outcomes. Our results highlight the importance of considering differences in mobility between urban and rural populations in spatial research.

IMPROVING LONGITUDINAL STUDIES OF AGING IN GEOSPATIAL HEALTH: AN AGENDA

Abstract Recent decades have seen a vast demographic shift in ageing populations worldwide, where over 1.4 billion people will be aged 60 years and older by 2030. Given specific populations may be more vulnerable to medical conditions with ageing, identifying high-risk locations are essential for allocating resources and promoting healthy ageing to mitigate population-level financial- and health-associated burdens. All aspects of public health research on ageing require longitudinal analyses to fully capture the dynamics of outcomes and risk factors such as human mobility, climate change, non-communicable diseases, and endemic, emerging, and re-emerging infectious diseases. Incorporating geospatial approaches in longitudinal health research can facilitate targeted interventions and improve public health policy and decision-making. Furthermore, geospatial approaches can identify where at-risk populations are located and what influences disease risk and exposure, particularly the ‘wider determinants’ of health across the lifecourse. However, studies in geospatial health are often limited to spatial and temporal cross sections. This generates uncertainty in the timing of exposures and behaviors. Geospatial longitudinal studies can better capture spatiotemporal dynamics of ageing. Here, we outline a research agenda, including key challenges and opportunities of working with longitudinal geospatial health data. Examples include accounting for residential and human mobility, recruiting new birth cohorts, geoimputation, international and interdisciplinary collaborations, spatial lifecourse studies, and qualitative and mixed-methods approaches. As a proof of concept, we present several case studies that better capture longitudinal exposures for the Cardiovascular Health Study cohort, which previously incorporated erroneous spatial indicators of neighborhood-level exposures across baseline and follow-up measures.

MIGRATION OVER THE LIFE COURSE AND LATER-LIFE DEPRESSION IN CONTEMPORARY CHINA

Abstract Migrating between rural and urban areas over the life course profoundly shapes the conditions of later life. In the Chinese context, living in urban areas with an urban Hukou is associated with socioeconomic advantage. This study is among the first attempt to investigate how migration into urban areas in China is related to these processes and the association with risk of depression in later life by focusing on the timing and the type of migration (rural-urban residential mobility and/or institutional transition of Hukou status) of migration. Using data from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we found strong associations between migration over the life course and risk of depression in later life in China. The timing and type of migration appears to play an important role. In-situ urbanisation is associated with lower depression scores in later life, and these effects are greater for in-situ urbanisation occurring in middle age compared with young adulthood. Forced urban-rural migration is associated with improved mental wellbeing. Formal social protection, particularly having a private pension, contributes substantially to the mental health advantage of social groups with an urban Hukou. Having an urban Hukou origin has an independent protective role in shaping mental wellbeing in later life in China, potentially partly due to the entitlement to a private pension attached to this status. When informal support has weakened in contemporary China, enhanced formal social protection in the form of adequate pensions should be put in place to mitigate structural inequalities associated with migration in old age.

Aspiration for residential mobility in large urban agglomerations: between residential and social mobility

This essay analyses residential mobility considering aspirations and desires to migrate. Considering the aspiration for migration as a methodology for grasping prevents before mobility, one must take into consideration that it is merged with political, economic, cultural, and social factors. Thus, because of the diversity of relations between migrants and migration, the decision to migrate and the action itself, there are shades of meaning that theories often neglect. We use primary data from the Metropolitan Region of Vitória (MRV) to achieve this purpose. Our main goal is to understand the relationships between family, household, and residential mobility in the metropolitan regions of Brazil. The results show that aspirations for residential mobility could also be interpreted as aspirations for social mobility. This demonstrates the relevance of mobility as a strategy for social reproduction in large urban agglomerations. Keywords: Aspiration; Migration; Residential mobility; Metropolitan region.

Patterns and determinants of location change in migrants’ residential mobility: A case study of Fuzhou

Residential mobility is an important issue within urban and housing studies. However, the existing literature mainly focuses on the pattern and motivation for a move of residential mobility, and seldom examines the location changes before and after migrants’ residential mobility. This study adopts the perspective of life-course and social-psychological theories to depict the residential trajectories of Fuzhou migrants, explores the influencing factors of location change in residential mobility, and conducts a comparative analysis of inter-provincial and intra-provincial migrants. It is found that the majority of migrants just move between urban villages in the same township, and the dominant type of location change is an outward movement across the ring roads, and this trajectory is especially marked among intra-provincial migrants. Changes in neighborhood environment and perception are decisive in explaining the location change of both intra-provincial and inter-provincial migrants. Additionally, younger cohorts, marriage, and having children in the city only significantly affect inter-provincial migrants’ residential location change, while changes in housing conditions are only of great importance to intra-provincial migrants’ residential location change.

Abstract B077: Understanding the relationship between neighborhood deprivation and breast cancer mortality among Black and White women

Abstract Background: Neighborhood deprivation has been associated with increased breast cancer mortality among White women, but findings are inconsistent among Black women, who are more likely to die from the disease. To improve our understanding of the relation, we investigated the joint effects of race and neighborhood racial composition, residential mobility, and rurality on the neighborhood deprivation-breast cancer mortality association among White and Black women. Methods: In 2010-2017, 31,358 non-Hispanic White and Black women diagnosed with invasive stage I-IIIA breast cancer were identified by the Georgia Cancer Registry and were followed through 2019 for breast cancer mortality. The neighborhood deprivation index (NDI) was derived through principal component analysis of 2011-2015 block group-level American Community Survey (ACS) data on poverty, income, housing, unemployment, occupation, and education. Neighborhood racial composition and residential mobility were measured using 2011-2015 ACS data. Rurality was measured using Georgia Department of Public Health data. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate multivariable hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between NDI, in quintiles, and breast cancer mortality, overall and according to joint effects of race and neighborhood characteristics (neighborhood racial composition, residential mobility, and rurality). Results: During follow-up, 2,353 (1,347 non-Hispanic White, 1,006 non-Hispanic Black) women died from breast cancer. Living in the most deprived neighborhoods was associated with a 30% increased risk of breast cancer mortality (quintile 5 vs. 1: HR=1.30, 95% CI 1.13-1.49). The association was present among non-Hispanic White (quintile 5 vs. 1: HR=1.47, 95% CI 1.20-1.79) but not non-Hispanic Black women. We observed similar race-specific patterns when assessing jointly stratified associations. For example, among non-Hispanic White women, neighborhood deprivation was associated with breast cancer mortality irrespective of the additional neighborhood characteristics considered, with the strongest association observed among non-Hispanic White women living in the most deprived rural neighborhoods compared to those living in the least deprived urban neighborhoods (HR=1.70, 95% CI 1.30-2.22). In contrast, no association was found among non-Hispanic Black women in any strata of neighborhood racial composition, residential mobility, or rurality (non-Hispanic Black women living in the most deprived rural neighborhoods vs. those living in the least deprived urban neighborhoods: HR=1.05, 95% CI 0.78-1.41). Conclusions: Consistent with previous studies, our study found that living in a deprived neighborhood may increase breast cancer mortality among non-Hispanic White but not non-Hispanic Black women. Neighborhood racial composition, residential mobility, and rurality did not explain the lack of association among non-Hispanic Black women. Other factors beyond neighborhood may contribute to the high breast cancer mortality rate among this racial group. Citation Format: Lauren E. Barber, Leah Moubadder, Maret L. Maliniak, Jasmine M.

Investigating social determinants of child health and their implications in reducing pediatric traumatic injury: A framework and 17-year retrospective case-control study protocol.

Traumatic physical injuries are the number one cause of hospitalization and death among children in Canada. The majority of these injuries are preventable. The burden from injury can be reduced through prevention programs tailored to at-risk groups, however, existing research does not provide a strong explanation of how social factors influence a child's risk of injury. We propose a theoretical framework to better understand social factors and injury in children and will examine the association between these social factors and physical traumatic injury in children using large population-wide data. We will examine data from 11,000 children hospitalized for traumatic physical injury and 55,000 matched uninjured children by linking longitudinal administrative and clinical data contained at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy. We will examine 14 social determinants of child health measures from our theoretical framework, including receipt of income assistance, rural/urban status, socioeconomic status, children in care, child mental disorder, and parental factors (involvement with criminal justice system, education, social housing, immigration status, high residential mobility, mother's age at first birth, maternal Axis I mental disorder, maternal Axis II mental disorder and maternal physical disorder) to identify groups and periods of time when children are at greatest risk for traumatic physical injury. A conditional multivariable logistic regression model will be calculated (including all social determinant measures) to determine odds ratios and adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for cases (injured) and controls (non-injured). Health Information Privacy Committee (HIPC No. 2017/2018-75) and local ethics approval (H2018-123) were obtained. Once social measures have been identified through statistical modelling, we will determine how they fit into a Haddon matrix to identify appropriate areas for intervention. Knowing these risk factors will guide decision-makers and health policy.

Karakteristik Hunian Bertinggal di Pinggiran Sungai Desa Kota Lintang Bawah, Aceh Tamiang

Providing housing with limited land reserves. With the increasing population, people use riverside land to build housing. River bank settlements are settlements that still exist today, even though many cases of evictions or natural disasters have occurred in these settlements. House buildings on the banks of rivers have Government Regulation Law article 5 paragraph 1 embankments that have not been completely flooded with a width of approximately 5 meters outward along the foot of the bank. The aim of the research is to find out the characteristics of residences on the banks of rivers to solve the problems that exist in the construction of residences in lower latitude urban villages, therefore requiring an approach to the physical use value of residences that is suitable for those with low incomes. The object of research taken from this research is residences located on the banks of the river in Kota Lintang Bawah Village, seen from residential mobility by knowing the characteristics of people in the world. According to John FC Turner, community characteristics are classified into three categories, namely bridgeheader, consolidator and status seeker. This research uses mixed methods. By getting in-depth information about the physical and non-physical forms of buildings located on the banks of rivers with low-income communities. Based on the research results, it shows that the characteristics of residences living on the banks of the river in the Village of Kota Lintang Bawah Aceh Tamiang are classified as bridgeheaders and consolidators.

JARER Editorial Volume 8 (1) of 2023

Editorial for JARER Vol. 8 Issue 1, 2023 Editorial Welcome to the Volume 8 (2023) Issue 1 edition of the Journal of African Real Estate Research (JARER). The journal remains an exciting platform for the dissemination of scholarships and the different types of applied research engaged within the real estate sector in Africa, and it has continued to grow in leaps and bounds. As reported in the last issue, JARER has been listed in the Directory of Open Access Journal (DOAJ) since January 2023 and has been recognised as meeting acceptable quality in the three categories (real estate finance, real estate &amp; urban economics and built environment) of the 2021 American Real Estate Society's (ARES) Real Estate Journal List. The list can be found at https://www.aresnet.org/page/journal-list. We want to appreciate the efforts and support of the journal editorial board members, our anonymous reviewers, and other stakeholders, without which these achievements would not be possible. Also, the support we continue to receive from the African Real Estate Society board members, the Library services at the University of Cape Town and the Urban Real Estate Research Unit at the university is appreciated. Our gratitude also goes to the Journal Manager, Ms. Lesedi Kgaka, for her diligent efforts in moving the journal forward. As usual, the current issue contains thought-provoking and informative topics and is a must-read by everyone who cares to have an understanding of African real estate research and related cities. The first paper, focusing on Lagos, Nigeria, examined the benefits and challenges in the adoption of modern technologies for real estate marketing. The work found that real estate practitioners in Nigeria were yet to fully tap into the unfolding benefits of modern technologies due to a low level of enlightenment and a lack of property data. The paper concluded with the need for practitioners to be enlightened, educated, and trained on the use of various modern technologies for real estate marketing. The second paper, which is an examination of the factors influencing the adoption of automating systems in high-rise buildings in Lagos, Nigeria, found the need to protect buildings against failure as the most significant factor influencing the adoption of automation in the management of facilities in high-rise buildings. The paper concluded that the use of automation in facilities management of high-rise buildings presents facility managers with innovative ways of ensuring the functionality of the built environment. The roles played by various actors in household mobility and the eventual reoccurrence of slums in the city of Kampala, Uganda, amidst the slum upgrading initiatives formed the focus of the third paper. The paper, which adopted a case study approach, found that the influence of slum upgrading actors in the low-income household mobility and reoccurrence of the Namuwongo slum was exhibited through three thematic areas. These are the tracking of the residential mobility tendencies, fit-for-purposes of the upgrading programs and actors' collaboration in the process. The paper's conclusion emphasised the need for actors' collaboration and participation of low-income slum-dwelling households to enable adequate fit-for-purposes of the in-situ upgrading initiatives. Given that access to housing is one of the challenges international students face in universities worldwide, the fourth paper examined housing satisfaction among international students studying at Hong Kong's universities. Using the snowball sampling technique, data was collected from seventy-four international students of six nationalities studying at four universities in Hong Kong. This study highlighted some far-reaching implications for Hong Kong universities, including the need to revisit the issue of accommodation and support provided to international students and an increase in the student housing stock to assist international students. The fifth paper examines Blockchain technology's (BCTech) potential in the real estate sector. To achieve this objective, the paper used a systematic review of the literature found in Researchgate, ScienceDirect, Semantic Scholar, IEEE Xplore, and Google Search. Examining a total of 99 publications from 2016 to 2022, the paper found that BCTech could provide platforms for tokenised ownership, smart contracts, quick transactions and cost reduction and offers secure and transparent platforms for real estate stakeholders. The study concluded that though BCTech is not yet widely used, it has a lot of potential to offer in terms of the sustainability of the real estate industry. I am sure that the JARER will continue to grow from strength to strength in the years to come and contribute to the development of African researchers' activities and endeavours. I look forward to receiving your feedback on this and previous issues of the journal. Professor Abel Olaleye Editor-in-Chief

The Actors' Symbiosis in the Recurrence of Slums after In-situ Housing Redevelopment Initiatives. Perspectives from Namuwongo Slum, Kampala City

This paper analyses the influence of various actors in the reoccurrence of slums in the city of Kampala, amidst the slum upgrading initiatives. This paper attributes such reoccurrence to the mismatch between the expectations of the actors involved in upgrading and the housing location mobility attributes of low-income households. This paper adopted a case study strategy, utilising a mixture of both qualitative and quantitative techniques. A total of 60 semi-structured questionnaires were issued to Namuwongo Slum Community, and only 52 were returned. Furthermore, 28 interviews were held. Six interviews targeted Local Council 1 chairpersons, 08 with officials from Slum Dwellers International (SDI), 04 with officials from the Ministry of Lands Housing and Urban Development (MLHUD), 03 with officials from Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), 04 privately practising land economists, and 03 private physical planners. From the information gathered, the influence of slum upgrading actors in the low-income household mobility and reoccurrence of the Namuwongo slum was exhibited through four thematic areas. These included: tracking the residential mobility tendencies, fit-for-purposeness of the upgrading programs/initiatives, actor coordination and the mismatch in expectation and preferences between the program actors and the low-income households. This paper, therefore argues that, actor coordination and participatory involvement of low-income slum-dwelling households enables the adequate fit-for-purposeness of the in-situ upgrading initiatives. This could also go a long way in limiting slum reoccurrence as the key drivers of household mobility would be understood and well incorporated in the programs.

Moving towards darkness: The personality-environment association between the Dark Triad and residential mobility

Population migration, as one of the most significant activities in human history and current societies, can shape a mobile social ecology entwined with personality traits. In this research, we tested whether the Dark Triad personality traits would adaptively emerge in and self-select into a residentially mobile ecology across eight studies (total N = 6147). Studies 1–2 demonstrated the relationship between residential mobility and the Dark Triad traits. Personal residential mobility was positively related to the Dark Triad traits (Study 1b), and this relationship was detected by lay persons (Study 1a). Residents living in a country (Study 2a) or a province (Study 2b) with a high net population outflow reported a high level of the Dark Triad traits. Studies 3–4 explored the interplay of residential mobility and the Dark Triad traits. Studies 3a–3b revealed the shaping effect of residential mobility, showing that individuals with the mindset of residential mobility (vs. stability) tended to resort to the Dark Triad traits. In contrast, individuals who possess a high level of Dark Triad traits prefer a mobile lifestyle (Study 4a) and a residence with high outflow (Study 4b). Together, this research empirically illuminated the associations and the interactions between residential mobility and personality traits.

The Socioecological Psychology of Financial Debts: The Role of Residential Mobility

We examined individual, regional, and cultural differences in household debts and identified residential mobility as a key socioecological variable at multiple levels of analysis. Study 1 found that American households’ debt rates were higher than Japanese debt rates. Across 76 countries, household debts were higher in residentially mobile countries than those in residentially stable ones (Study 2). Next, across 144 U.S. cities, residents of residentially mobile cities had more credit card debts than those of residentially stable cities (Study 3). We further replicated the international and U.S. findings across 366 districts in India (Study 4). Study 5 found that American participants were more residentially mobile and more willing to borrow than Japanese participants, and the willingness to borrow was partly explained by the personal history of residential mobility. Study 6 found that residentially mobile individuals felt less indebtedness/gratitude than residentially stable individuals; the study also found how indebtedness/gratitude impacted individuals’ credit card debts and willingness to borrow.

Born Again French: Explaining Inconsistency in Citizenship Declarations in French Longitudinal Data

Citizenship is a fundamental boundary in contemporary societies that entails rights, a sense of belonging, and social status. Drawing on longitudinal census data, this article tracks individual changes in self-reported citizenship over 30 years in France. Respondents choose one of three categories: “French by birth,” “became French,” or “foreigner.” The first category should be stable over the life course: one is born, but cannot become, “French by birth.” Yet, our findings indicate that about 19 percent of foreign-origin respondents in a given census switch to “French by birth” declarations at the next census, in a process we call reclassification. Immigrant assimilation variables, such as nativity and length of stay, and events such as intermarriage, naturalization, and residential mobility, trigger reclassification. Yet reclassification is also higher among individuals with lower socioeconomic status and respondents of African and Southeast Asian origin, as well as those with origins in former French colonies. These findings suggest reclassification is a byproduct of immigrant assimilation, which triggers feelings of national identity, as well as status upgrading, whereby disadvantaged and discriminated groups change their citizenship declaration to compensate for low social status. Empirically novel, reclassification offers original theoretical insights into the meanings of citizenship, civic stratification, and boundary-crossing.

Assessing the Cost-Effectiveness of Incentives for Energy Transition Using Marginal Abatement Cost Curves

Incentive policies play a crucial role in encouraging the adoption of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures. This study analyzes and compares the incentives for energy transition in the South Tyrol region of Italy using a marginal abatement cost (MAC) curve constructed with an expert-based approach. The incentives for residential energy efficiency, mobility, and boiler replacement are characterized based on assumptions for costs, energy savings, and parameters. The resulting expert-based MAC curve analysis reveals boiler replacement incentives to be the most cost-effective, yielding CO2 reductions at the lowest cost but with limited potential as the incentive is limited to apartment blocks that are not in district heating areas. Mobility incentives enabling electric vehicle adoption have the highest CO2 reduction potential, albeit at higher costs per ton abated. Residential energy efficiency incentives fall between the two for cost-effectiveness and potential. The MAC curve approach provides a useful comparison of cost-effectiveness versus potential, guiding policy prioritization. This techno-economic assessment methodology can be applied to other regions pursuing energy transition. Overall, a balanced policy mix encompassing transport, buildings, and heating is required for comprehensive low-carbon transition.
