Many factors required to be considered in BCA but the lack of information on these factors holds decision-makers to correctly understand the economic benefits of mitigation. This study aims to improve the understanding of the economic benefits of flood mitigation efforts in Louisiana between 2005 and 2015. The mitigation projects were evaluated through a novel methodology using two post-mitigation events and a series of probabilistic events. Two major floods in 2016 in Louisiana were simulated for post-mitigation events. The study with probabilistic events was performed through a case study for residential buildings in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to simulate the elevation of flooding for buildings. The novel approach in methodology shows the effect of loss function uncertainty in the context of avoided loss (AL) analysis with adjusted costs for buildings useful life. The AL and BCA indicate that mitigated buildings were associated with an average AL of $114,206 and benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 0.76 after the 2016 floods in Louisiana, respectively. Also, the loss analysis with probabilistic events revealed an average BCR of 1.69 for flood-mitigated projects.","PeriodicalId":52110,"journal":{"name":"Housing and Society","volume":"48 1","pages":"185 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08882746.2020.1796120","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48801654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Crisis events include disasters, but can also include unplanned moves related to eviction and foreclosure as well. The American Housing Survey provides the research community the opportunity to examine such situations through a special module related to recent movers introduced in 2013. Using measures of well-being related to residential satisfaction and housing cost burden, we analyze the differences in these measures for both regular movers and those who have moved due to circumstances of crisis. Initial analysis shows that there are highly significant differences between the two populations, with regular movers having higher housing unit satisfaction and neighborhood satisfaction, and lower housing cost ratios, when compared against households which moved under crisis situations. Similar findings are made when comparing against households’ previous housing situations as well. After controlling for demographic and other independent variables, however, the effect of crisis events is nullified for residential satisfaction. Housing cost ratios take divergent paths according to tenure, with renters having heavy cost burdens upon relocation and homebuyers actually reducing their ratios significantly.","PeriodicalId":52110,"journal":{"name":"Housing and Society","volume":"48 1","pages":"137 - 154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08882746.2020.1796109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47528926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a sequential, mixed-methods design, we interviewed 19 women using a 126-item quantitative interview including six standardized measures exploring indicators of psychosocial well-being. From these findings, we designed a qualitative interview protocol and returned to participants. We calculated descriptive statistics for quantitative variables and analyzed qualitative data using thematic analysis. Participants reported a median of six unmet basic psychosocial needs (range 1–16; IQR = 6), a high prevalence of health conditions and associated disability with scores falling above the 80th percentile on all subtests of a disability measure. Qualitative findings revealed that participants were living in an environment that made it challenging to meet their basic needs and felt abandoned by community supports. A persistent lack of safety led to self-isolation, which negatively influenced mental well-being. Social housing is aimed at alleviating poverty and its associated harms, yet women face multiple barriers to meeting their basic needs through existing supports and continue to experience poverty. Social housing can be disabling environments for women living in poverty.","PeriodicalId":52110,"journal":{"name":"Housing and Society","volume":"48 1","pages":"21 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08882746.2020.1793285","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48113384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When choosing a place to settle, they have to find a balance between several housing preferences and constraints imposed by their socio-economic situation. Moreover, their options might be limited because of the city’s urban fabric: their housing preferences might not be available at their preferred location. This article analyzes the influence of households’ socio-economic situations on residential preferences and how these preferences interact with the existing morphology of the city, based on data from 2,058 surveys in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area collected in 2018. Using regression and spatial clustering analysis, results show that certain socio-economic factors such as household composition, education level, and traveling by private car are good predictors of revealed preferences regarding housing attributes. Responding households consider relational location (measured as travel time or distance to work/education) more than distance to the city center. Furthermore, while housing attributes showed clear patterns of spatial clustering, this was much less the case for household attributes. An uneven distribution of housing options together with residential choice constraints do not seem to limit households’ equitable access to Kampala, although more research at a finer geography and over time is recommended to capture the dynamics.","PeriodicalId":52110,"journal":{"name":"Housing and Society","volume":"47 1","pages":"215 - 243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08882746.2020.1776063","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49256000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Caribbean island of Montserrat, an overseas territory of the United Kingdom, provides an excellent setting for examining this relatively understudied topic. Following the eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano, beginning in 1995, most Montserrat residents were displaced and the island’s south was declared an exclusion zone. The paper draws on interviews with 89 randomly selected residents, including displacees and non-displacees, and with 10 Montserratian and United Kingdom officials charged with responding to post-disaster needs. The paper seeks to understand variation in long-term housing conditions with a focus on the impact of housing type. The results show that interviewees living in housing built for, rather than by, displacees had significantly lower housing satisfaction scores, with residents of prefabricated houses reporting the lowest scores. Interviewees argued that the top-down provision of these houses was problematic due to limited local input and use of materials poorly suited to local conditions and traditions. The paper concludes by situating the findings in the context of the literature on post-disaster housing and by arguing for increased attention to how such housing is provided in terms of both process and materials.","PeriodicalId":52110,"journal":{"name":"Housing and Society","volume":"48 1","pages":"114 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08882746.2020.1776036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43855942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

University students studying residential property management (RPM) are in high demand, and often receive multiple job offers even before graduation. These university RPM programs must find a sustainable way to recruit students to their academic programs to continue to fill the growing number of openings in the property management profession. In the Introduction to Residential Property Management course at Ball State University (Muncie, Indiana), students are required to complete a job shadowing assignment with a property management professional, to explore the many career opportunities. This exploratory study examined the effect of the job shadowing assignment on students’ decision to declare one of the academic options in the RPM Program. Results indicated that students’ connection to the Ball State RPM Program increased after taking Introduction to Residential Property Management. However, the job shadowing assignment was not the sole reason for students declaring one of the RPM academic program options.","PeriodicalId":52110,"journal":{"name":"Housing and Society","volume":"47 1","pages":"146 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08882746.2020.1759368","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44073852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chronic pain can impact activities of daily living, quality of life, and independence. Rural perspectives on aging with chronic pain are rare despite demographic trends indicating that rural populations are aging faster than urban populations and with an increasing prevalence of long-term painful conditions. Through interviews and observations, we explored the experiences of rural older people with chronic pain. Our inquiry was framed by an ecological model of wellness, which argues that socio-spatial and resource environments are crucial in nurturing and developing individual opportunities and competencies, promoting positive perceptions of the environment, and in contributing to overall health. Through an adapted constructivist grounded theory approach, our analysis revealed three key concepts, each an ongoing (re)negotiation between health and the rural environment: “Life coming inwards,” “Managing chronic pain,” and “Maintaining meaning.” Findings highlight the relational nature of rural environments and key factors inherent in supporting people to adapt in order to age well with chronic pain. We consider implications for our understanding of processes of aging well, future research, and policy and service provision.","PeriodicalId":52110,"journal":{"name":"Housing and Society","volume":"47 1","pages":"122 - 145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08882746.2020.1740563","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42236243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
