The paper is about the control of speculations and fraud cases in real estate marketing using the internet. The area under consideration is the new port city Gwadar. The deep Sea port of Gwadar has been constructed with the cooperation of Chinese government in 2002. Gwadar Development Authority has been established in 2003 as a statutory body for the city planning and execution, but not a single piece of land is under control of this Authority. The area has a significant location in the region for investment and also has scenic beauty. People all over the country and abroad are interested in investing in real estate in this area. Currently, it is a small town, less developed, poor infrastructure and far from the main cities of Pakistan. So visiting Gwadar is not feasible for everyone in this condition but on the other hand, there is no doubt that the land of Gwadar is precious for future. Most of the people who can invest in Gwadar but don’t because of fear of fraud cases in the private real estate market. In this paper we have addressed the problem how this land can be made accessible to everyone. I suggested that the internet can be the right mode of real estate marketing in this area with the involvement of No Objection Certificate (NOC) issuing authority (GDA). GDA is making the map of Gwadar on GIS, which can be utilized in this scenario for the benefits of the people. After our survey to the market, it is concluded that provincial government should make a policy that the internet will be the only mode of transactions in real estate marketing in Gwadar with the involvement of government sector. GDA may provide the GIS map of the area and updates about the NOC’s of each scheme on internet. Finally, GDA may use its Computer Cell for providing confirmation email to every investor whether his/her scheme/plot is valid or not.

During the late 1960s and 1970s, extensive disinvestment and an eviscerated real estate market led landlords of low-income housing to walk away from their real estate holdings, leaving thousands of buildings unoccupied and often city-owned due to nonpayment of taxes. In response, Latinx, African American, and some white residents protested the blight these buildings brought to their neighborhoods by directly occupying and seeking ownership of abandoned buildings through a process they called urban homesteading. Activists framed homesteading as a self-help initiative, often emphasizing their own ingenuity over state resources as the key to solving the problems of low-income urban neighborhoods. Such framing was understandable given the unstable economic terrain of the 1970s and won activists support not just from the political left, but also the right. But it also positioned homesteading as demonstrating the superiority of private-citizen and private sector–led revitalization in ways that left homesteading projects vulnerable as it became clear how necessary government resources would be to their success.

This study puts urban heritage in the setting of property owners’ small-scale and resource-based management of ordinary old buildings. This phenomenon indicates a need not only to reconceptualize urban heritage in its actual complex web of negotiations over constraints of the regulation (urban planning, including preservation) and economy (the real estate market) but also to pay attention to the emergence of a new ethos. The case concerns a Swedish second-city context and the specific moment in time: When the 1990s recession had disarmed the real estate market. Based upon ethnographic fieldwork, this study used an assemblage perspective to allow for a following of entanglements of material and matter. The study sheds light upon the emergence of a small-scale and resource-based management in the midst of managerially defined cycles of investment. Important for the output was 1) the set-up of a network of skilled craftsmen, antiquarians, and entrepreneurs ‘of the right mindset that enabled for the authentic material result but that also helped navigate regulation and financial parties, 2) the “alternative market for reverential maintenance and repair” that guaranteed the appropriate supply of materials, products, and skills that differed from the mainstream construction market. For the means of understanding the ethos involved, the study introduced the notion of “factual life-span of buildings”. The overall aim of this article was to contribute to research on heritage urbanism by adding a resource management perspective that focusses on the entanglements of material and matter.

The public right to know is of particular significance when considering the reporting of crime and criminal justice. The internet has demonstrated strong influences upon crime reporting in mainstream media, including the range of material it provides to audiences. In addition, the internet has exposed journalists to new legal and ethical ramifications that accompany reportage on an international scale and, while it may be ‘giving the people what they want’, it has also exacerbated the controversy surrounding the perennial question of how much the public has a right to know.

Since the abolition of the welfare housing distribution policy and the implementation of the monetary reform of the housing system in 1998, there has even been a bubble phenomenon despite the rapid development of the Chinese real estate market. However, considering that the reform of real estate tax will affect the whole system, and there are still various disputes about real estate tax in society, the Chinese government is very slow in real estate tax reform. Given this, under the background that the State Council has been authorized by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress to pilot real estate tax reform, it is still necessary to explore the legitimacy of China’s real estate tax reform promotion. In general, under the background of solidly promoting common prosperity, resolutely implementing the policy of “housing to live without speculation,” and promoting the stable and healthy development of the real estate market, coupled with the fact that the real estate market has already seen a severe bubble phenomenon. China’s active promotion of real estate tax reform has a solid theoretical and practical basis and has urgency and feasibility.

ABSTRACTRegional autonomy as the right and authority and obligation of an autonomous region to regulate and manage a certain region or region which otonami this area is done to advance the welfare of the local community with the base on the legislation of Law no. 23 of 2014 on local government (Revision of Law No.32 of 2004) Implementation of regional autonomy that should be very helpful in the welfare of the people but is now still inversely proportional to the construction of flat-clad apartment standing on Jalan Yos Sudarso, Rumbai District, Pekanbaru, Monday (16 / 11/2015). Rusunawa built by the Ministry of Public Works (PU) is still not fully functioned because it is still waiting for the inauguration of the provincial government development that has not been oriented to the interests of the community and the potential that still looks minimal in the knowledge of the apparatus in managing the existing resources that make terkendalanya in the management of the rusunawaAbstrakOtonomi daerah sebagai hak dan wewenang serta kewajiban suatu daerah otonom untuk mengatur dan mengurus suatu wilayah atau daerah tertentu yang mana otonami daerah ini di lakukan untuk memajukan kesejahteraan masyarakat setempat dengan di landaskan pada peraturan perundang-undangan UU No. 23 Tahun 2014 tentang pemerintah daerah (Revisi UU No.32 Tahun 2004) pemerintah daerah menyelenggarakan urusan pemerintah menjadi kewengan daerah.. Pelaksanaan dari kegitan yang mengarah pada pembangunan yang mendukung Otonomi daerah yang seharusnya sangat membantu dalam kesejahteraan rakyat namun kini masih berbanding terbalik seperti halnya pada pembangunan rusunawa berdiri tegak di Jalan Yos Sudarso, Kecamatan Rumbai, Pekanbaru, Senin (16/11/2015). Rusunawa (rumah susun sederhana sewa) yang dibangun Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum (PU) tersebut hingga kini masih belum juga difungsikan seutuhnya karena masih menunggu peresmian dari pihak pemprov pekanbaru pembangunan yang belum berorientasi kepada kepentingan masyarakat dan potensi yang masih terlihat minim pada pengetahuan aparatur dalam mengelola sumber daya yang ada yang menjadikan terkendalanya dalam pengelolaan rusunawa tersebut.

Abstract New data sources, namely big data and the Internet, have become an important issue in statistics and for official statistics in particular. However, before these sources can be used for statistics, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis of sources of nonrepresentativeness. In the article, we focus on detecting correlates of the selection mechanism that underlies Internet data sources for the secondary real estate market in Poland and results in representation errors (frame and selection errors). In order to identify characteristics of properties offered online we link data collected from the two largest advertisements services in Poland and the Register of Real Estate Prices and Values, which covers all transactions made in Poland. Quarterly data for 2016 were linked at a domain level defined by local administrative units (LAU1), the urban/rural distinction and usable floor area (UFA), categorized into four groups. To identify correlates of representation error we used a generalized additive mixed model based on almost 5,500 domains including quarters. Results indicate that properties not advertised online differ significantly from those shown in the Internet in terms of UFA and location. A non-linear relationship with the average price per m2 can be observed, which diminishes after accounting for LAU1 units.
