The paper presents an analysis and assessment of changes in housing situation in Poland on basis of 2002 and 2011 Censuses. The analysis shows that between 2003–2011 a regression was observed in scale and significance of many elements of the public sector in housing in Poland. The regression corresponds with excessive market orientation of the housing policy in Poland and resulting immediacy and short-sightedness of institutional and legal regulations. Simultaneously, improvement in housing and increase in the average size and density of population of flats in Poland were observed, including in the public sector

In most African countries, the housing situation is most unsatisfactory, both in quality and quantity. The underlying factors are both demographic (population growth, rapid urbanisation) and economic (the under-development of productive resources). Although the poverty of housing is only one facet of the ‘pauperisation’ of the African masses, and although new needs arise directly from the process of development itself, yet the only possible framework for any modern housing policy is planning—economic, social, and spatial—in which the role of the public authorities is decisive both in the preparation and the implementation of the plan. Housing then becomes one element in the total modernisation of society.

This paper evaluates the Turkish government’s housing policy for financing the public sector housing and examines the desirability of wage-indexed payment mortgage (WIPM) contract from the lenders perspective. The WIPM contract introduced in 1998 differs from the standard index-linked mortgages in that it is based on the Civil Servant’s Wage Index and there is no amortization rate. From the lender’s perspective, the WIPMs are found to be desirable mortgage instruments in periods of persistent high inflation because they eliminate the real interest rate risk and credit risk of the ARM and the ‘wealth risk’ of a nominal FRM.

This study is a review of the market orientation concept in relation to performance in the public sector. Related literature reveals a positive correlation of market orientation and public sector performance. Although the MARKOR scale, a process approach and the behavioural approach show a significant organisational performance in the profit making organisation, these models appear to have focussed mainly on generic issues in the public sector. The SERVQUAL instrument attempts to only gauge service delivery quality and not the implementation of the marketing concept which defines market orientation. This paper attempts to fill this gap by examining public sector benefits of market orientation. The contribution prompts public sector organisations to embrace market orientation and in turn enhance performance.

The United Kingdom was a "vanguard state" for experimentation with administrative reforms that came to be known as the New Public Management or NPM strategies aiming market orientation of the public sector. After three decades, what results has NPM produced in the UK? This is a review of a research report by Christopher Hood and Ruth Dixon, who tries to explain maladministration and judicial challenges to nUK government actions.

After Slovenia gained its independence and the privatization of the public housing stock took place, housing policy was considerably transformed. According to 1991 Constitution, the responsibility of the state has been only to provide appropriate conditions for citizens to settle housing situation. Although a number of housing policy documents were adopted by the Parliament, many of them did not take into account the genuine needs and situation in the country. Due to the austerity measures adopted by the Government, many social benefits have been restricted or cancelled, which in turn leads to a gradual decline in the level of welfare.
