Short-term Rentals and Disorder in a Cannabis Tourism Destination

Short-term rentals (also referred to as “home sharing” or “vacation home rentals”) are a form of temporary housing in which units are leased to travelers for a limited time. Theories such as social disorganization and routine activities suggest possible connections between short-term rental presence and crime or disorder, and existing studies have confirmed that relationship under certain circumstances. However, there are unexplored questions about whether the findings hold true in places with novel demographic, cultural, or touristic features. The present study contributes to this literature by considering the relationship between short-term rentals and disorder across census block groups in a cannabis tourism destination (Denver, Colorado), while controlling for hotel presence, sporting venues, cannabis dispensaries, liquor establishments, and other socio-demographic features. The effects of short-term rental density varied by listing type (entire unit or private room) and were diminished by the inclusion of usage (guest reviews) in the models. Also considered are Denver regulations that may contribute to the limited effects of short-term rentals observed here, as are directions for new research.

PERANCANGAN RUMAH SUSUN MAHASISWA UNIVERSITAS TANJUNGPURA DENGAN KONSEP MINIMALIS

Universities located in the city center and far from district locations and areas. Not a few students who migrate to continue their education to tertiary level. This condition certainly requires the existence of temporary housing for overseas students during their education period. Pontianak City is one of the city centers where there is a university, namely, Tanjungpura University. One of the temporary residences that is still rare is the existence of special student flats. These student flats can assist students in helping with temporary housing. This student flat is designed with a minimalist concept which is currently a trend and is in vogue. The purpose of this design is to design student flats that are comfortable with a room atmosphere, space requirements that suit student needs. With several public facilities such as sports venues, shared open spaces, places to relax, places of worship and places to study. The design of student flats prioritizes building functions and efficient space requirements. In achieving this goal, traditional design methods (black box) which in this method is a design method that is carried out spontaneously. Ideas that come from anywhere and at any time according to the designer's imagination spontaneously. Based on background issues and objectives in the design and through some data analysis carried out resulted in a student flat building design with a minimalist concept with a total of 4 floors with private facilities as well as public facilities.

STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING MILLENNIAL GENERATION HOUSES WITH SHARIA FINANCIAL PLANNING

Millennials generation find it difficult to own a home because of their consumptive lifestyle and houses have prices that are getting more expensive over time that are disproportionate to their income. In fact, many of them are desperate to buy a house with a credit system with high interest and and that credit has a repayment period up to tens of years, even though this can trigger financial problems. Therefore, this study aims to explain that Islamic financial planning give solution strategies to young people with low incomes can realize to owning their dream house without usury. This type of research is qualitative research with literature study method. The results of this study explain the design of a strategy in managing the income of a young couple for consumption needs, paying for temporary house rent, paying for electricity, water, wifi, emergency funds and investing in sharia instruments namely gold investment. Gold is resistant to inflation. The gold investment strategy of one gram per month can be collected for seven years which can be used to start building a dream house. This research is complemented by a strategy for choosing suitable land to live in and a strategy for building houses with gradual progress for seven years.

Care Needs of Parents of Children With Cancer in a Low-Middle-Income Country.

Background: Mapping out actual supportive care needs assists nurses in providing holistic individualized care. This study aimed to explore the care needs of parents of children with cancer in the Philippines. Method: Guided by the Supportive Care Needs Framework (SCNF), this study used an embedded mixed-method design with the quantitative revised Cancer Patient Needs Questionnaire and qualitative semistructured interviews to describe parents' care needs and priorities. Results: Filipino parents (N = 156) of children with cancer have various care needs which could be classified along the SCNF categories-practical, informational, spiritual, physical, emotional, and physical needs as ranked from highest to lowest. A number of variables were significantly associated with care needs. Solid tumor diagnosis was associated with greater practical, emotional, and psychosocial care needs; having a child who had undergone surgery was associated with more practical and spiritual care needs; and being within one year of the child's diagnosis was associated with practical, psychosocial, and spiritual care needs. Parent priority needs included (a) addressing financial needs; (b) access to temporary housing to minimize treatment-related costs; (c) support groups among parents of children with cancer as a source of information; (d) financial and social support between members of family and partners of parents of children with cancer; and (e) using prayer to facilitate acceptance. Conclusions: Supportive care needs of parents of children with cancer are important components of care that should be given recognition to enhance holistic individualized care throughout the childhood cancer experience.

Educational Tour of The Bamboo Village of Telagah With Ecological Architecture

Bamboo is a plant that has many benefits. Bamboo is also easy to grow and cultivate and has flexible properties so bamboo plants are often used in curved structures. In the community, bamboo is usually only used as a tool in agriculture, and the processing of bamboo materials is also not studied very well. The author aspires to develop a tourism destination that educates visitors about bamboo plants as a result. The tourist destination in issue is a bamboo plant educational tourism destination where every activity is entwined with or associated with bamboo plants. As an illustration, consider the introduction of bamboo plants, bamboo farming, or bamboo crafts. There is also a resort in the region that serves as a temporary house and is constructed from bamboo plants. The author's chosen topic, which is ecological architecture, is reflected in the usage of bamboo in the home as a structure and construction material. The term "ecological architecture" refers to architectural designs that utilize local materials and nearby natural resources. Because this research technique focuses more on gathering data that may be utilized to support the researcher's position, the author also employed a narrative review as part of the methodology for this study.

Context, culture, and cordons: The feasibility of post-earthquake cordons learned through a case study in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

Increasingly, post-earthquake cordons (PECs) have been used to support response and recovery activities around the world. However, thus far, the empirical analysis of cordons has not considered the overarching feasibility of their use. This research aims to fill this gap through a case study of Kathmandu Valley following the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal. It draws on a broader study that has investigated various aspects of cordons in New Zealand and Italy. In total, 13 interviews were conducted in the Nepali language with relevant experts of varying backgrounds and expertise such as academics, disaster management officers, policymakers, municipality representatives, and practitioners (INGO). The interviews were semi-structured and conducted through purposive and snowball sampling. The data was translated, transcribed, and then coded into NVivo software which was then analyzed inductively through an iterative thematic process. The findings of this research demonstrate the importance of context in understanding PECs and their implications on disaster response and recovery. For cordons to be feasible, many factors such as resource challenges (physical, economic, and human) and provisions for temporary housing, welfare, access to essential services, security, and availability of alternative transportation routes are essential. In addition, legislative frameworks, trust in government institutions, and cultural nuances need to be taken into consideration if PECs are to be feasible as a disaster response and recovery strategy.

Identification of densely populated-informal settlements and their role in Chinese urban sustainability assessment

ABSTRACT China’s National Plan on Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development identified the upgrading of urban shantytowns, urban villages, and dilapidated houses as an important initiative to implement the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.1. However, informal housing being used as temporary housing by low-income families (especially in megacities) has resulted in informal settlements that are usually densely populated, dilapidated, and disorganized. Identifying targets based on deep learning and single very high-resolution images remains a challenging task. Here, we used multi-source geographic information data and machine-learning methods to identify and compare the distribution of densely populated‒informal settlements (DPISs) and measured population ratios within the urban areas of three Chinese first-tier cities: Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Our results indicate that DPISs occupy 1.98%, 0.67%, and 3.95% of the total area in these study regions, with population densities of 42,800 people/km2, 7,100 people/km2, and 20,800 people/km2, respectively. Further, significant variability existed in the distribution of DPISs, population ratios, and composition of the study areas. DPISs reflected the rapid urbanization process in China and the planning of the city, which can be used as an indicator of sustainable urban development in China.

Pengaruh Fluktuasi Harga & Ketersediaan Bahan Baku Kedelai Terhadap Hasil Produksi Perajin Tempe di Desa Pejaten, Kecamatan Kramatwatu, Kabupaten Serang, Provinsi Banten

Tempeh is a high protein food that is reasonably priced. Capital constraints are a common source of concern in the temporary housing industry, and raw material prices are rising. To avoid losses, many tempeh artisans in Kramatwatu improvise during the tempeh-making process. Production components are inextricably linked in determining a production. The goal of this study was to see how price fluctuations and raw material availability affected tempeh production in Pejaten Village, Kramatwatu District. This research method is known as quantitative research. Simple random sampling was used as the sampling technique. 35 home industries were used as samples in this study. According to the study's findings, price and availability fluctuations in raw materials have a significant impact on the variable results of tempeh production. Furthermore, the results of the concurrent test show that price fluctuations and raw material availability have a significant impact on tempeh production in the Kramatwatu District. The obtained R2 value is 0.888. It can be concluded that price fluctuations and raw material availability have an overall effect of 88.8% on tempeh production yield, with the remaining 11.2 percent influenced by variables not researched.

Community efforts to promote vaccine uptake in a rural setting: a qualitative interview study.

Vaccine hesitancy has been identified as one of the top 10 threats to global health. The causes of low vaccine uptake are many and vary at micro and macro levels. However, rural and remote coastal areas in the UK experience unique vaccine inequalities due to high levels of deprivation and their unique and complex access-related problems. This study aimed to explore community efforts to promote vaccine uptake during the COVID-19 pandemic and understand how the COVID-19 vaccination campaign was experienced by the public. We conducted an exploratory descriptive qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with decision-makers, health professionals and community members in Lincolnshire, a predominantly rural county with a long coastline, a large population of white minority ethnicities, and those living in caravan and temporary housing. Data were analysed using conventional content analysis. Overcoming the various access barriers to vaccination uptake involved working with local media stations, local communities and local community groups, translation of information, bringing vaccines closer to the people through pop-up and mobile clinics and provision of transport and ensuring confidentiality. There is a need to employ inclusive targeted non-conventional care interventions whilst dealing with complex problems as occur in rural and remote coastal regions.

Resident Perspectives on Modular Housing: The Need for Progression, Collaboration, and Autonomy

Modular housing is a temporary and transitional housing program in British Columbia. This qualitative study gathered the perceived needs of residents at modular housing sites to determine how service delivery impacts care continuity and well-being. Twenty-five residents at four modular housing sites in an urban setting participated in focus groups and semi-structured interviews. Thematic content analysis was used to summarize key findings. Themes highlight the need for flexible, person-centred, and tailored supports. Participants also voiced the importance of communication during times of transition into modular housing, as well as the impact of the environment on safety and autonomy.

Racializing the concept of ‘housing otherness’: The effects of temporary housing policies on squatters in Rome

This paper explores the long-standing relationship in Rome between socio-cultural diversity and the temporary nature of low-income housing solutions. I argue that that this phenomenon began long before recent neoliberal trends and the global post-2008 crisis, and instead emerged from the gradual development of a moral and racialized understanding of housing as a ‘social award’. This has created a specific social category known as ‘housing otherness’, which includes migrants and Italian squatters who are experiencing severe housing distress. This exclusionary approach towards the most ‘diverse’ sections of the population in Rome can be traced back to the inception of public housing in Italy during the 1920s. The paper aims to provide a historical account of this process and demonstrate how it is based on the limited availability of residency and settling as a commodity. I also introduce the grassroots Roman housing rights movements and highlights their efforts to challenge the notion that residency and settling should be seen as something that is earned or deserved rather than as basic human rights.

Digitalization and Spatial Documentation of Post-Earthquake Temporary Housing in Central Italy: An Integrated Geomatic Approach Involving UAV and a GIS-Based System

Geoinformation and aerial data collection are essential during post-earthquake emergency response. This research focuses on the long-lasting spatial impacts of temporary solutions, which have persisted in regions of Central Italy affected by catastrophic seismic events over the past 25 years, significantly and permanently altering their landscapes. The paper analyses the role of geomatic and photogrammetric tools in documenting the emergency process and projects in post-disaster phases. An Atlas of Temporary Architectures is proposed, which defines a common semantic and geometric codification for mapping temporary housing from territorial to urban and building scales. The paper presents an implementation of attribute specification in existing official cartographic data, including geometric entities in a 3D GIS data model platform for documenting and digitalising these provisional contexts. To achieve this platform, UAV point clouds are integrated with non-metric data to ensure a complete description in a multiscalar approach. Accurate topographic modifications can be captured by extracting very high-resolution orthophotos and elevation models (DSM and DTM). The results have been validated in Visso (Macerata), a small historical mountain village in Central Italy which was heavily damaged by the seismic events of 2016/2017. The integrated approach overcomes the existing gaps and emphasizes the importance of managing heterogeneous geospatial emergency data for classification purposes. It also highlights the need to enhance an interoperable knowledge base method for post-disaster temporary responses. By combining geomatic tools with architectural studies, these visualization techniques can support national and local organizations responsible for post-earthquake management through a 3D modelling method to aid future transformations or interventions following other natural disasters.

Rights and obligations of refugees by the legislation of Ukraine

This article describes the basic rights and obligations of refugees by the legislation of Ukraine.The rights and obligations of refugees by the legislation of Ukraine are properly established in accordance with international legal standards, and the main problem in modern Ukraine is compliance with the legislation on the rights of refugees. This category of individuals often experiences difficulties in connection with registration at the place of residence, obtaining permanent or temporary housing, employment at a new place of residence. There are difficulties with medical care and pension provision.The rights of refugees are a general component of the human rights system, the presence of a special mechanism for the protection of their rights does not mean for them exclusion from the general system of protection of human rights and freedoms, but it is organically included in the system of international legal protection of human rights.The presence of a large number of refugees in the world indicates numerous problems in the peaceful coexistence of states in various regions of the planet, including, unfortunately, in Europe, where more than 10 million Ukrainians have already become refugees as a result of full-scale brazen Russian aggression, in addition, there are many refugees in Europe, from conflicts in Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Georgia, Kosovo, Nagorno-Karabakh. As a result of objective circumstances, all these people were forced to leave their native homes and become refugees. The presence of millions of refugees from different parts of the world indicates the need for radical reforms of the UN, which is increasingly finding it difficult to ensure international law and order and conflict resolution, and also indicates the need to improve the mechanism for the protection of human rights at the universal level.Human rights, protection and promotion of the realization of rights have always been and remain a priority area of activity of our state. At the current stage, in the conditions of the military regime introduced in Ukraine, the need to improve the existing mechanisms for the protection of human rights, including refugees and forced migrants who are forced to leave their places of permanent residence, is becoming extremely urgent. The activities of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and his cooperation with the Government of Ukraine are important in this area.

ПРЕДПОСЫЛКИ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ АРХИТЕКТУРЫ ВРЕМЕННЫХ ЖИЛИЩ ДЛЯ ЗОН ЧРЕЗВЫЧАЙНЫХ СИТУАЦИЙ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ

The article examines the role of temporary shelters in recovery programs for emergency zones of the Russian Federation. The frequency of natural disasters and emergencies is analyzed, as well as a number of problems associated with the need to resettle the affected population in the existing housing stock of settlements located in territories adjacent to the emergency zone or resettlement of the affected to other regions.
 The features of the use of temporary accommodation centers, both stationary and mobile, the possible duration of their use are considered, the provision of the regions of the Russian Federation with them is analyzed. A review of existing research works and developed solutions for mobile housing for temporary stay is carried out on the example of domestic and foreign works.
 The relevance of further research in the issue of determining common problems, patterns and technical solutions in the formation of temporary dwellings for emergency zones of the Russian Federation in the context of further development of principles is substantiated. Goals, boundaries, novelty, tasks of further research are highlighted. For the first time, the question of the possibility of using transforming mobile buildings from rigid elements as temporary housing for emergency zones in the Russian Federation is raised as part of a general study on the formation of principles.

From the Balcony to the Streets: A Tragedy of Contortionism and Consequences

Domestic violence is a prevalent public health concern, affecting millions worldwide. The presence of domestic violence affecting women and couples experiencing homelessness both continue to be underreported areas of clinical work and commissioning within the sector. This paper explores the difficulties of trying to house and contain unhoused couples with reference to the psychoanalytic ideas of attachment and the claustro‐agoraphobic dilemma. The paper argues that more wrap‐around support, such as temporary alternative housing options, are required to manage instances of domestic abuse and instances of attachment anxiety. Flexible options are also required to account for the likelihood that a couple may return to the streets when perpetrators are evicted based upon the implementation of blanket policies. The paper also attempts to offer some nuance into the complexities of relational dynamics, which are amplified by two unhoused minds coming into intimate contact with one another in front of a professional audience. The paper concludes with drawing attention to the lack of therapeutic support and lack of appetite to commission this to enable couples to explore the roles each partner can play when enmeshed in destructive forms of relating.

Ensuring the constitutional right to housing of internally displaced persons in Ukraine and countries that have experienced armed conflicts: comparative legal characteristics

The article is devoted to the analysis of the constitutional right to housing and its provision to internally displaced persons in Ukraine and countries that have experienced armed conflicts (using the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Georgia).
 The article analyzes the content of the constitutional right to housing and its implementation in Ukraine. An analysis of the main regulatory legal acts is presented, according to which the procedure for implementing and ensuring this right of internally displaced persons is carried out. The system of such documents consists of: the Constitution of Ukraine; Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Internally Displaced Persons"; Housing Code of Ukraine; The procedure for the formation of housing funds intended for temporary residence, accounting and provision of such housing for temporary residence of internally displaced persons; The procedure and conditions for providing subvention from the state budget to local budgets for the purchase, construction of housing for the purpose of transfer for temporary residence of internally displaced persons and the Procedure for providing housing purchased by the State Youth Housing Department at the expense of humanitarian and other aid funds for temporary residence of affected persons.
 Particular attention in the work is given to the analysis of the definition of internally displaced persons under the legislation of Ukraine and the countries whose practices are under consideration. It is argued that all the studied definitions justify the reason for the forced abandonment of a person's permanent place of residence and, as a general rule, such relocation occurs as a result of an armed conflict, due to military danger, a threat to the life of a person or a member of his family. The legal status of internally displaced persons in the countries under consideration is defined in relevant legal documents, such as: Law on Refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Displaced Persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina; The Law on the Status of Displaced Persons and Refugees in the Republic of Croatia and the Law of Georgia on Internally Displaced Persons - Persecuted from the Occupied Territories of Georgia.
 It is argued that the widespread practice of ensuring the housing rights of internally displaced persons is the provision of temporary housing and the construction of a new one, attracting funds from international funds.

Estimating long-term K-12 student homelessness after a catastrophic flood disaster

Despite efforts to end homelessness in the United States, student homelessness is gradually growing over the past decade. Homelessness creates physical and psychological disadvantages for students and often disrupts school access. Research suggests that students who experience prolonged dislocation and school disruption after a disaster are primarily from low-income households and under-resourced areas. This study develops a framework to predict post-disaster trajectories for kindergarten through high school (K-12) students faced with a major disaster; the framework includes an estimation on the households with children who recover and those who experience long-term homelessness. Using the National Center for Education Statistics school attendance boundaries, residential housing inventory, and U.S. Census data, the framework first identifies students within school boundaries and links schools to students to housing. The framework then estimates dislocation induced by the disaster scenario and tracks the stage of post-disaster housing for each dislocated student. The recovery of dislocated students is predicted using a multi-state Markov chain model, which captures the sequences that households transition through the four stages of post-disaster housing (i.e., emergency shelter, temporary shelter, temporary housing, and permanent housing) based on the social vulnerability of the household. Finally, the framework predicts the number of students experiencing long-term homelessness and maps the students back to their pre-disaster school. The proposed framework is exemplified for the case of Hurricane Matthew-induced flooding in Lumberton, North Carolina. Findings highlight the disparate outcomes households with children face after major disasters and can be used to aid decision-making to reduce future disaster impacts on students.

Житлова нерухомість: наслідки військової агресії

The article analyzes the main consequences of military aggression on residential real estate in Ukraine. An analysis of direct losses: their cumulative assessment and the dynamics of change during the year of the war was carried out, which showed that the total amount of documented direct losses amounted to $143.8 billion in compensation value. These losses concern residential and non-residential real estate and other infrastructure. It has been established that mass shelling of cities significantly destroys the housing stock in cities, especially those close to the front line. According to preliminary estimates, as of June 2022, more than 50% of the housing stock was damaged or destroyed in 23 settlements due to hostilities in the Russian Federation. An assessment of direct losses by type of property was carried out, which showed that the most signifi-cant part of the total volume of direct losses is losses of residential buildings - 37.3%. An analysis of the number of partially damaged or destroyed housing stock was carried out by the region of Ukraine. Thus, about 136,000 residential buildings were destroyed or damaged, including 136,000 private houses, 17,600 apartment buildings, and 302 dormitories. Accord-ing to estimates, residential buildings in the territory of Ukraine were damaged or destroyed in an area of 83.1 million m2, which is 8.2% of the total area of the housing stock. It is emphasized that the destruction of residential real estate is a severe problem since the inhabitants of these cities are forced to look for new places to live, and the restoration of the housing stock takes a lot of time and money. Various approaches can be used to solve this problem, including state sup-port for housing restoration, attracting foreign investment, developing new urban development projects, and other measures. It is noted that according to experts' calculations, in the best case, it may take from 3 to 5 years to restore the housing stock completely, but only if all the necessary resources are available. The problem is not limited to money, as it also requires large numbers of builders and building materials that have yet to be produced or imported in such volumes. The issue of financing the restoration of the housing stock remains relevant. State funds have been allocated for repairing and restoring more than 11,000 objects, which is only 13% of the required amount. Keywords: real estate, residential real estate, military aggression, internally displaced persons, temporary housing.

Experiencing Temporary Home Design for Young Urban Dwellers: “We Can’t Put Anything on the Wall”

A significant number of young people live in temporary homes, which are designed to fulfil basic needs and provide space for normal activities. However, it is unclear what those basic activities are. Moreover, the indoor environmental quality is often left out of the meaning of home, although activities and objects can affect its experienced quality. We therefore verbally and visually explored how young temporary dwellers appropriate and experience their homes, including the indoor environmental quality. Fourteen young adults took part in semi-structured interviews and photographed their most used as well as their favourite place. The interviews were transcribed and analysed following an interpretative phenomenological analysis. The experiences of appropriation in the home were connected to the physical environment through an analysis of the photos and floor plans (sketched by the researcher) using an architectural analysis from the user perspective. The outcome showed that the young adults appropriated their home in three ways: by familiarising the place with objects and “normal” activities, organising where things are and when they happen, and managing the indoor environmental quality through activities and objects. It is concluded that qualitative and visual analyses can assist with making recommendations to improve the design of temporary housing.
