Back and Forth from Urban Renewal: The Spatial Parameters of Affordable Housing in Two Cities

This study examines the impact of spatial parameters on urban well-being by comparing the urban design and housing policies of Roosevelt Island in New York City and Bat Yam in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, Israel. Despite their distinct political and cultural contexts, these cities exhibit similar urban design approaches that integrate physical well-being parameters—such as density, building height, open spaces, and walkability—alongside social well-being parameters including age distribution, income levels, and ethnic diversity. The research traces the evolution of affordable housing through various historical phases, including Urban Renewal, Community Development, and Neoliberal Urbanism, and explores how different residential ownership structures have influenced demographic shifts, gentrification, and neighborhood transformation over the past decades. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines historical analysis with spatial and demographic data, this study highlights the contrasting impacts of Roosevelt Island’s affordable housing program and Bat Yam’s state-led urban renewal policies. The results illustrate how distinct housing models affect community resilience, social stability, and overall urban well-being. By uncovering parallel narratives and extracting valuable insights, this analysis offers lessons for other cities navigating similar market-led pressures and policy shifts. The findings underscore the importance of understanding the interplay between spatial design, housing policies, and ownership structures in shaping the long-term sustainability and quality of life in urban neighborhoods.

Towards sustainable living: an investigation of the motivations behind green residential ownership in Malaysia

Purpose In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of green residential properties. This phenomenon indicates that the demand for environmentally friendly residential properties is rising. However, the true reasons behind the growing interest and investment in green residential properties remain poorly understood. When it comes to residential properties, assessing these benefits becomes more challenging and complex, as it is crucial to understand the motivations to invest in green residential properties. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the component factors that motivate homebuyers to invest in green residential properties. Design/methodology/approach This research aims to address a research gap by identifying the component factors that motivate individuals to invest in green residential properties using a factor analysis approach. The authors gathered data by distributing an online questionnaire among 161 certified green residential owners in Selangor, Malaysia. Findings The results from the factor analysis revealed three components as the primary factors that motivate individuals to invest in green residential properties. The findings contribute significantly to the growing yet limited literature in this area of research. Research limitations/implications This research, however, set out to provide a context-specific motivation in Selangor as a limitation. Originality/value By understanding the motivations behind these investments, the research can encourage greater adoption of sustainable housing investment and guide developers and policymakers in offering better solutions for the green property market. The authors could facilitate informed decision-making and inspire positive change towards a future where sustainable housing becomes the norm.

Regulation of Multi-storey Residential Ownership by Foreign Nationals in Indonesia and Malaysia: A Legal Perspective and Islamic Principles

This study analyzes the regulation of multi-storey residential ownership by foreign nationals (WNA) in Indonesia and Malaysia from the perspective of Islamic law and principles. The issue requires clear and fair arrangements to protect national interests and local residents' rights. Both countries, with majority Muslim populations, integrate Islamic principles into public policy, including property. Using a comparative study and qualitative analysis, the research examines Indonesia's Government Regulation No. 103 of 2015 and Malaysia's "Malaysia My Second Home" (MM2H) program and strata title regulations. Findings reveal that both countries emphasize social justice and the protection of local citizens' rights in line with Islamic principles. The study concludes that regulations should be refined with Islamic principles to attract foreign investment and protect national interests, focusing on simplifying bureaucracy, increasing transparency, and reviewing property price policies.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Overweight and Obesity among Primary School Children Aged 7–17 Years in Urban Mbarara, Uganda

Globally, overweight and obesity among children have been acknowledged as a growing public health concern. In sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is high. In Uganda, there is a significant burden of overweight and obesity. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and associated factors that influence overweight and obesity among primary school children in Southwestern Uganda. A cross-sectional study utilized a self-administered questionnaire and anthropometric tools to collect data. A three-stage sampling procedure was used to select four schools that participated in this study. A total of 422 children participated in our study. Participant’s weight and height were measured using SECA Scale, Model 885, and a wall-mounted stadiometer, respectively. Data were analyzed using STATA v11.0. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was descriptively analyzed. Associated factors were determined using bivariate and multivariate analysis. Findings revealed that 54.3% of participants were walking to school compared to 45.7% that were cycling/bicycling and 76.3% playing and doing household chores as opposed to 23.7% that spent their leisure time through reading and watching TV, 74.2% took more than two meals per day, and 79.4% often took vegetables and fruits compared to 20.6% that took them most of the time. The study found an overall prevalence of 20% for overweight/obesity. There was a statistical association between overweight/obesity and ownership of residence (O.R.: 0.4, 95% C.I.: 0.2–0.8), modes of transport (O.R.: 8.2, 95% C.I.: 3.4–20.0), leisure time activities (O.R.: 0.4, 95% C.I.: 0.2–0.7), frequency of consuming vegetables and fruits (O.R.: 2.8, 95% C.I.: 1.4–5.5), and the type of school attended (O.R.: 0.2, 95% C.I.: 0.1–0.4). However, only the mode of transport (A.O.R.: 5.0, 95% C.I.: 1.9–13.0) was independently associated with overweight/obesity on multivariate logistic regression analysis. Girls who participated in our study were more overweight than boys. Overweight/obesity existed more in private schools than public schools. Modes of transport were only found to be strongly associated with overweight/obesity. There is a need to establish evidence-based strategies to inform policy on prevention of childhood overweight/obesity.

Pemodelan Tingkat Kerawanan Pangan Rumah Tangga di Indonesia Tahun 2021 dengan Pendekatan Regresi Logistik Ordinal

<p class="AbstractEnglish">Until 2021, Indonesia has succeeded in reducing the prevalence rate of the population with moderate or severe food insecurity. But on the other hand, Indonesia's Global Food Security Index (GFSI) score which has declined in the last three years shows that Indonesia's food security is getting weaker in various aspects. The condition of food security that begins to weaken can trigger food insecurity. Food insecurity that can have an impact on health, nutrition and health system problems is a national health problem that needs attention. Therefore, this study aims to examine the level of household food insecurity and the variables that influence it. This study uses The National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) March 2021 data which was analyzed using partial proportional odds model (PPOM) ordinal logistics regression method. In general, the results show that variables area of residence, gender, age, education, business field, number of household members, residence ownership status, and per capita expenditure affect the level of household food insecurity in Indonesia in 2021.</p><p class="AbstractEnglish"><strong>Keywords</strong><strong>: </strong>food insecurity; ordinal logistic regression; PPOM</p>

The environmental challenges of urban living: Why willingness to pay for apartments matters

This study aims to understand the willingness of urban communities in Jabodetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi) to move to apartment dwellings, and a study was conducted using a quantitative survey method. The study aimed to analyze the sociodemographic factors influencing the decision to switch to vertical housing. The survey collected data from a sample of individuals representing the entire population in Jabodetabek. The participants in the study were selected from various locations within Jabodetabek, including Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. These areas were chosen to comprehensively represent the metropolitan region and its urban communities. By including participants from different locations within Jabodetabek, the study aimed to capture individuals' diverse perspectives and experiences in this region. The survey covered a range of sociodemographic factors such as gender, income, education level, marital status, occupancy, and residence ownership. The participants were divided into two groups: those willing to pay for an apartment and those who wereilling to pay for an apartment and those not. By comparing the characteristics of these two groups, the study aimed to identify significant differences and understand the factors influencing the willingness to move to apartment dwellings. The study results showed significant differences in income level, education level, marital status, and occupancy between the two groups. Income level was the most significant factor affecting an individual's willingness to pay for an apartment. Additionally, the perception of better apartment productivity, which includes reduced transportation time and costs associated with work or other business purposes, increased the demand for apartments. The study found that income level was the most significant factor affecting an individual's willingness to pay for an apartment. The perception of better apartment productivity also increased demand for apartments, as it reduces transportation time and costs associated with work or other business purposes. The study suggests that vertical development in metropolitan areas can provide a solution to increase population density and overcome the problem of limited land availability. The government can use the findings from this study to support policies that promote vertical development in cities.

Awareness and Utilization of Incentive Programs for Household Energy-Saving Renovations: Empirical Findings from Greece

The Greek policy targeting residential energy efficiency has launched the “Residential Energy Saving” financial incentives program to assist in achieving the goals related to reducing energy use and GHG emissions. Considering the research gaps of previous work, the present study examines the sociodemographic, dwelling, and geographical characteristics, and the environmental awareness and behavior that affect individuals’ (a) actual decision to perform an energy-saving renovation of their dwelling; this has been previously examined, but not in the Greek context, (b) awareness of the incentives program; this has not been addressed in previous research, and (c) utilization of the program; this has not been addressed in previous research. Accordingly, we performed a questionnaire-based survey in Greece in 2019 (n = 451). Based on the development of three binary logistic regression models, it is indicated that the decision to perform an energy-saving renovation is affected by ownership status, year of construction, income, and environmental behavior; awareness is affected by education level, environmental awareness, and residence location; use of the incentives program is affected by residence ownership and year of construction, presence of senior citizens and education level. The study’s results, indicating the determinants of energy-saving renovation decisions and awareness and utilization of financial incentives programs, can assist policymakers in planning financial incentives adapted to different characteristics, thus achieving improved awareness and utilization of such tools.

Pengaruh Sosial Ekonomi terhadap Perilaku Pengelolaan Sampah Rumah Tangga di Kota Jambi

The rate of increase in waste generation in Jambi City continues to increase every year in line with the increasing population of Jambi City. The biggest source of waste problems is household waste. The purpose of this study was to analyze and determine the influence of socio-economic factors of the people of Jambi City on their behavior in household waste management and to provide recommendations in the form of suggestions related to household waste management in Jambi City. This study uses data from the National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas), Health and Housing Modules carried out by the Central Bureau of Statistics in 2019. The analytical method used is descriptive analysis and binary logistic regression, with a sample of 159 respondents, and with the help of the SPSS data processing tool version 20. Descriptive analysis shows that the people of Jambi City do not have sufficient awareness in managing waste. This is reflected in the high number of respondents who do not separate organic waste from inorganic waste and in terms of separating B3 waste. With binary logistic regression analysis, it can be concluded that the socio-economic factor that influences the behavior of how to dispose of garbage is education. Meanwhile, age, working status, per capita income, and residence ownership status did not affect the behavior of how to dispose of household waste. The resulting odds ratio interpretation is: the probability of respondents with higher education (high school graduates and above) to dispose of waste indiscriminately is 4.301 times the chance of respondents with junior high school education and below. This means that respondents with higher education (high school graduates and above) are more likely to dispose of waste indiscriminately than respondents with lower education. This reinforces the existing theory, namely that the higher a person's level of education, the better his behavior in waste management (the more he cares about the environment).

Ownership of Agricultural Land and Residence For Husband and Wife Who Are Different Citizens (Mixed Marriage)

There is a fundamental difference between land and agricultural land. The soil itself is the main component of land and has the bearing capacity so that it can withstand the weight of it and the raw materials for making various kinds of goods. While agricultural land is an area on the surface of the earth that has certain criteria such as atmosphere, soil, geological layers, hydrology, biosphere, and plant and animal populations. Based on the provisions of land law in Indonesia every land can be given rights, such as property rights. This study aims to find out and analyze the ownership rights to agricultural land and residence for married couples with different forms of marriage (mixed). This research was conducted using a normative juridical approach. Legislation, literature, publications, and periodicals on the marriage agreement are the legal sources used. The results of the research show that the provisions of the laws and regulations in Indonesia regarding ownership rights to agricultural land and residence for married couples with different nationalities must be based on the marriage agreement that was made. The form of the marriage agreement that is made contains the separation of assets owned by married couples of different nationalities. Because of Indonesian land law, which states that only Indonesian residents can acquire ownership rights to land.

Comparing the sociodemographic characteristics of participants and non-participants in the population-based Tromsø Study

BackgroundDifferences in the sociodemographic characteristics of participants and non-participants in population-based studies may introduce bias and reduce the generalizability of research findings. This study aimed to compare the sociodemographic characteristics of participants and non-participants of the seventh survey of the Tromsø Study (Tromsø7, 2015–16), a population-based health survey.MethodsA total of 32,591 individuals were invited to Tromsø7. We compared the sociodemographic characteristics of participants and non-participants by linking the Tromsø7 invitation file to Statistics Norway, and explored the association between these characteristics and participation using logistic regression. Furthermore, we created a geographical socioeconomic status (area SES) index (low-SES, medium-SES, and high-SES area) based on individual educational level, individual income, total household income, and residential ownership status. We then mapped the relationship between area SES and participation in Tromsø7.ResultsMen, people aged 40–49 and 80–89 years, those who were unmarried, widowed, separated/divorced, born outside of Norway, had lower education, had lower income, were residential renters, and lived in a low-SES area had a lower probability of participation in Tromsø7.ConclusionsSociodemographic differences in participation must be considered to avoid biased estimates in research based on population-based studies, especially when the relationship between SES and health is being explored. Particular attention should be paid to the recruitment of groups with lower SES to population-based studies.

주거환경 특성이 주거만족도와 주거보유의식 및 주거이동에 미치는 영향

1. CONTENTS (1) RESEARCH OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is residential actual condition survey conducted from 2006 to 2020 is the subject of the study and using the most recent 2020 data are used to empirically analyze the influence of residential environment characteristics on residential satisfaction and residential ownership awareness and residential movement.
 (2) RESEARCH METHOD The method of this study conducted descriptive statistical analysis and factor analysis on the characteristic variables of the residential environment using SPSS 21 to understand the characteristics of the residential environment, residential satisfaction, residential ownership awareness, and residential movement. The study was conducted using a structural equation model using AMOS.
 (3) RESEARCH FINDINGS In this study, the characteristics of the residential environment were classified into factors such as accessibility, surrounding environment, and convenience of use, and each factor influenced residential satisfaction, residential ownership awareness, and residential movement. As a result of the structural equation model analysis, it was found that the surrounding environment had the greatest influence on residential satisfaction.
 Accessibility and surrounding environment directly affect residential movement, but convenience does not directly affect residential movement because the overall situation does not move as much as before due to COVID-19, and because non-face-to-face consumption culture spreads at home and solves most of daily life.
 2. RESULTS Among the characteristics of the residential environment, the surrounding environment had the greatest influence on housing satisfaction. Therefore, improvement of the residential environment is required.

Anticipating Changes in Lifestyles That Shape Travel Behavior in an Autonomous Vehicle Era—A Method-Oriented Systematic Literature Review

This article proposes a systematic review of the recent literature on the impacts of the deployment of autonomous vehicles through the lens of lifestyle changes that will modify our mobility practices. It discusses the main findings of the studies, analyzes their links with the foresight methods used by their authors, and identifies research gaps. Four components of lifestyles are considered: residential location, car ownership, activity patterns, and tourism. Particular attention is given to the diversity of the reviewed foresight approaches, to the way they complement one another in the construction of knowledge, and to their influence on the forecasts and the lessons learned. Our work shows a convergence of results across methods, especially for expected impacts on household location and car ownership, and the influence of the way autonomous vehicles are deployed. Our analysis also makes it possible to draw up a more comprehensive and nuanced picture of the anticipated changes in lifestyles, and the main sources of uncertainty. Finally, our work identifies several research gaps and avenues for future studies such as the impacts on job choices and tourism, the need for a better understanding of the links between the different deployment models for autonomous vehicles, and the need to explore more scenarios that are compatible with environmentally- and socially-oriented goals.

Associations between neighborhood built environment, residential property values, and adult BMI change: The Seattle Obesity Study III

ObjectiveTo examine associations between neighborhood built environment (BE) variables, residential property values, and longitudinal 1- and 2-year changes in body mass index (BMI). MethodsThe Seattle Obesity Study III was a prospective cohort study of adults with geocoded residential addresses, conducted in King, Pierce, and Yakima Counties in Washington State. Measured heights and weights were obtained at baseline (n = 879), year 1 (n = 727), and year 2 (n = 679). Tax parcel residential property values served as proxies for individual socioeconomic status. Residential unit and road intersection density were captured using Euclidean-based SmartMaps at 800 m buffers. Counts of supermarket (0 versus. 1+) and fast-food restaurant availability (0, 1–3, 4+) were measured using network based SmartMaps at 1600 m buffers. Density measures and residential property values were categorized into tertiles. Linear mixed-effects models tested whether baseline BE variables and property values were associated with differential changes in BMI at year 1 or year 2, adjusting for age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, home ownership, and county of residence. These associations were then tested for potential disparities by age group, gender, race/ethnicity, and education. ResultsRoad intersection density, access to food sources, and residential property values were inversely associated with BMI at baseline. At year 1, participants in the 3rd tertile of density metrics and with 4+ fast-food restaurants nearby showed less BMI gain compared to those in the 1st tertile or with 0 restaurants. At year 2, higher residential property values were predictive of lower BMI gain. There was evidence of differential associations by age group, gender, and education but not race/ethnicity. ConclusionInverse associations between BE metrics and residential property values at baseline demonstrated mixed associations with 1- and 2-year BMI change. More work is needed to understand how individual-level sociodemographic factors moderate associations between the BE, property values, and BMI change.

Kepemilikan Properti Bagi Warga Negara Asing Yang Berkedudukan Di Indonesia

In principle, only Indonesian citizens can own land in Indonesia. With the government's program to improve development and the Indonesian economy by promoting investment by bringing in foreign investors, the government issued a policy to regulate property ownership for foreign citizens who wish to own a residence in Indonesia. Property that can be owned by foreign nationals can only be owned with the status of Right to Use and Right to Rent for a certain period of time. The purpose of this limitation of the period of property ownership for foreign nationals is to protect land owned by Indonesian citizens from various exploitation and covert foreign domination. Ownership of property by foreign nationals is regulated in various laws and regulations and their implementing regulations. With the issuance of these various regulations, it is hoped that there will be harmonization between property ownership arrangements for foreign citizens and residential ownership for Indonesian citizens.

Towards Reduced Solar PV Industry Waste: A Feasibility Assessment of Novel Ownership Models

Since 2010, solar Photovoltaic (PV) has been the single fastest growing power generation technology worldwide. However, given that the useful lifetime of a PV installation currently stands at 25 years and that current industry End-of-Life (EOL) management techniques, focus primarily on recycling and disposal, it has been estimated that by 2050, there will exist 78 million tonnes of hazardous solar PV waste. One potential solution that could aid in mitigating this impending environmental crisis, is determining whether or not the lifetime of commercial and residential solar PV installations can be elongated from the industry standard of 25 years to 50 years. Two novel solar PV ownership models, “The Cascading Tiered Commercial Ownership model” (CTCO) and “The Elongated Residential Ownership model” (ERO) have been created by projecting the technical outputs and economic Net Present Values (NPV) of a 60 kwp commercial and 4.8 kWp residential installation operated over a 50 as opposed to 25 year period. As expected, the Business as Usual (BAU) model which required that the commercial residential installations be decommissioned and replaced at 25 years, produced more energy over a 50 year period than both lifetime elongation models. However, the cascading tiered ownership model and the elongated residential ownership model had an NPV that was higher than the BAU model. Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) analysis identified that a rate of more than €0.25 per kWh would be required for the BAU model to be favoured, while the rate of module degradation favoured the elongated ownership model for all rates under 2% per year. Alterations to the FIT at 25 years assuming preference for environmentally sustainable business models, led to a greater disparity in results in favour of the novel ownership models. Irradiation levels only favoured the BAU ownership model when in excess of 1750 kWh/m2. Altogether, the projected technical output of both hypothesised ownership models suggests that elongation of PV system lifetime is economically advantageous and should be considered as a viable alternative to other models in both commercial and residential market segments.

Clinical characteristics of ocular toxocariasis in adults in north China.

To investigate the clinical features of adult patients with ocular toxocariasis (OT) in north China and to diagnose adults OT patients in early stage. Clinical data of 24 adults with OT were retrospectively analyzed. Slit lamp photographs and fundus photographs and other imaging examinations of all the patients were reviewed. A questionnaire concerning the pet ownership and place of residence was completed to investigate the possible infection origin. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed on the demographic data, clinical features, funduscopic findings and ELISA results. Among the 24 patients diagnosed with OT by Toxocara IgG antibody in intraocular fluid, 16 (66.7%) eyes were right eye. The onset age of 12 eyes (50.0%) was between 30 and 40 years old, and 21 (87.5%) eyes were of peripheral granuloma type. The most common sign was vitreous opacity. Granulomas were detected in all the eyes, and 20 (83.3%) patients resided in rural area. In 4 patients, the concentration of anti-Toxocara antibody both in anterior humor and in vitreous humor were detected, and the results showed the concentration in vitreous humor was much higher than aqueous humor. Our study analyzes the clinical manifestation of OT in adults, which may have been under-recognized before. Eye side, residence, and detection of granuloma may help us in diagnosis of OT in patients with monocular vitreous opacity. For adult patients with presumed OT, negative results of anti-Toxocara antibody in anterior humor cannot rule out the possibility of OT, further detection of vitreous humor is suggested for final diagnosis.
