Dynamic Housing Search Model Incorporating Income Changes, Housing Prices, and Life-Cycle Events
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Modeling housing search behavior is a crucial component of land use modeling. Land use modeling from a specific point of view shares close ties with the transport system. As a result, housing search behavior has become an ... -
Role of Public Administration in Fostering Urban Housing Rehabilitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Urban rehabilitation has long been a major concern for academics, practitioners, and public authorities. The decline cycle of city centers in many countries, particularly in Europe and the United States, involves deteriorating ... -
Principle of Selectivity in Housing Rehabilitation Subsidies: Case Study in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Housing subsidies have to be selective given the tight public budget and need for public accountability. Nevertheless, inappropriately chosen screening criteria can result in inefficient resource allocation. This article ... -
Local Public Spending and Urban Sprawl: Analysis of This Relationship in the Veneto Region of Italy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper describes and analyzes an Italian case of urban sprawl in the central area of the Veneto Region, which covers about 3,700 square km and 145 municipalities. The main aim of this paper is to find out if urban ... -
