Abstract This paper presents the perceptions of academics on real estate topics offered in Bachelors Real Estate (BRE) curricula in Africa. In order to understand the perceptions of academics on real estate topics, a survey of seven selected BRE curricula offered in different regions of Africa was conducted to determine important real estate topics academics included in the curricula. After analyzing the curricula, sorting and re-grouping the topics: Real estate management, Real estate valuation, Real estate economics, Real estate finance and investment, Real estate development, Real estate law, Real estate planning, Real estate research, Real estate industrial training and Real estate electives emerged to be important topics the academics considered to include in the curricula. The topics are in line with those expected in a real estate curriculum. In addition, results revealed that BRE curricula follow the interdisciplinary approach to real estate education. Findings will encourage universities in Africa and elsewhere to develop comprehensive real estate curricula or improve existing ones to accommodate the interdisciplinary approach and the international perspective of real estate education because of their benefits. The study will also support the harmonization of real estate education, practice, investment and business in Africa, hence contributing towards the economic development of the continent.

Social real estate does not only shape the balance sheets of social economy enterprises, but also the concerns and agendas of boards, management and real estate managers. This book addresses aspects of financing, real estate management, the organisation of real estate portfolios, real estate valuation and the life cycle of buildings, plus the numerous legal problems associated with social real estate. It presents current technical concepts of energy efficiency, climate neutrality and the digital maturity of real estate in a practical manner, along with concepts for economically viable neighbourhood models and warnings against political cost drivers in the construction of social real estate.

Purpose Against the background of initiatives, which have taken place to foster real estate research in Europe, this article seeks to analyse important dimensions of that research. Design/methodology/approach The article investigates the evolution from 2000 to 2015 in the proportion of papers published by authors with a European affiliation in the three main international real estate journals (Real Estate Economics, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics and Journal of Real Estate Research). Then, focusing on papers with at least one European author and/or concentrating on Europe, the article analyses papers published from 2008 to 2015 in the two main European real estate journals (Journal of European Real Estate Research and Journal of Property Research) by authors’ country of affiliation, by country of study and by theme. Finally, we analyse links between author’s country of affiliation and country of study and theme, respectively. Findings The results show that the proportion of papers published by European authors in the three main international real estate journals has increased during the 2000-2015 period. The author's analyses of papers published in the two European real estate journals suggest that UK-based researchers are the most prolific. There is also a strong “home bias” in that authors largely focus on the country in which they are based. The interest in housing and valuation increased markedly during the period. Finally, the article reports linkages between country of affiliation and theme. Originality/value This paper should provide a much clearer understanding of several aspects of real estate research in Europe.

The Impact

Abstract. Determination of real estate value plays a very critical role in economic development and basic needs of people. Increasing demand for real estate together with population growth is making it difficult to determine real estate value. In applications where real estate is the main subject, such as urban activities, smart cities and urbanization, urban information system and valuation systems, model-based value estimations are essential for effective land/real estate policy. The type of real estate and impact degree of features depending on the type should be known as well as value estimation. It will be beneficial to follow a method that both determines the real estate value and factor impact degree. With the studies to be carried out using such methods, both region-specific valuation models can be created and the model is established with the optimum variable. This paper aimed to determine real estate value by using Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Multi Regression Analysis (MRA) methods for effective real estate management. Besides, both methods were examined by revealing the impact degrees of features that affect the value. The methods were applied to 319 parcels in Konya. For each parcel, 31 land features and market values were collected. The parcel data collected since 2018 were included in the models. From the results, the RBF-SVR model reached the highest R2 value with 0.88, while the MRA model reached 0.86.

Abstract Any attempt to explicitly define the property market involves an interdisciplinary approach. Commonly applied notions referring to the genesis of risk in the area of medicine, humanities and, in particular, social and other sciences, have a significant impact on the strictly technical definition. The juxtaposition of the established definitions concerning the phenomenon of risk is an attempt to refer their types and risk factors to the extensive subject area of risk concerning the property market itself. In the future, this may contribute to the development of new risk analysis methods or methods of determining its probability and, therefore, levelling the effect of uncertainty in developing real estate management processes. The aim of the paper is to carry out a review of literature for a deeper analysis of this issue.
