Diretrizes para o desenvolvimento de empreendimentos Student Housing

Resumo A moradia estudantil foi discutida na literatura sob aspectos da preferência e satisfação residencial; fatores indutores de comportamento e demanda no mercado imobiliário; e variáveis influentes na escolha da moradia. Entretanto, escassos são os trabalhos que abordaram assuntos sobre empreendimentos destinados a estudantes, bem como os novos produtos do mercado imobiliário brasileiro, os empreendimentos denominados Student Housing (SH). Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo propor diretrizes para orientar o processo de desenvolvimento de empreendimentos SH. Para esse fim, o estudo propôs, inicialmente, comparar sete edifícios SH para investigar as principais características desse modelo. Tais informações, acrescentadas à revisão da literatura, permitiram explorar, por meio de um levantamento survey, a opinião de estudantes universitários sobre a importância de quatro requisitospreestabelecidos. Os resultados revelam que muitos atributos presentes nos edifícios SH não são considerados importantes ou são indiferentes do ponto de vista dos estudantes, o que demonstra custos adicionais e desnecessários para os investidores. Em contrapartida, o estudo identificou vários atributos valiosos para os usuários. Com base nisso, foram sugeridas doze diretrizes para orientar projetistas, incorporadores e investidores do mercado imobiliário estudantil no desenvolvimento de seus produtos.

Expectations of student with disability living in off-campus student housing in Ghana: a Gap Model approach

PurposePrevious students' housing studies have neglected the need to study all-inclusive student housing and quality of services delivery among students with disability. This study explores the expectations in students' housing among university students living with disabilities (SWDs) in Ghana.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a mixed-methods approach, involving 423 SWD selected from five public and three private universities across Ghana. Grounded on the Gap Model, the study employed exploratory factor analysis to extract factors of service quality delivery and universal building design for SWD living in off-campus students' housing.FindingsThe study uncovered that, expectations of SWD regarding building design specifications hinges more on inbuilt universal design than external building environment designs. SWD are more interested in safety, health, managerial assurances and security. In all, five factors provided a huge gap in services quality delivered by off-campus students' housing.Practical implicationsThe Gap Model technique offers a framework that provides an insight for students' housing investors, managers, researchers and local authorities that provides an insight on the needs of SWD in student housing, thus making it possible to attain satisfactions amongst SWD.Originality/valueUnlike health-related studies that deals with expectations of all-inclusive buildings for persons with disability in hospitals, this study uniquely uncovered the expectations of services delivery and building design support to SWD in the Ghanaian context.

A Case For Student Housing: A holistic approach to student housing in the modern University learning environments.

<p>Learning and teaching methods in universities globally and in New Zealand are rapidly changing and adapting to technological advancements and virtual methods of information communication. As new research begins to shed a greater understanding of how we learn education providers are beginning to recognise that learning is a combination of active and passive events that occur both inside and outside the classroom. The idea that academic learning and personal development need to reinforce each other is changing the landscape of education. This brings to the forefront the question: what type of built environments can support and facilitate a more holistic learning suited to the evolving understanding of education and the needs of the future student? To understand this problem I have developed three sub-questions tackling unique aspects of student housing: 1) What should the relationship between the university learning environment and student housing be? 2) What built elements are suitable for modern student housing? 3) How can the social campus life be enhanced through a more integrated environment? These questions intend to establish a design outcome that caters to both the social needs of the student body, while also increasing the academic presence in students homes. This will be done through the examination of the importance of purpose-built student housing and the impact it has on their learning experiences. Furthermore, trends in modern student housing will be sampled in order to understand how the changing learning environment is altering the use of student living spaces. This will be important in the understanding of the rise of learning communities and their application to Wellington’s tertiary education sector.</p>

Dimensions of Students’ Satisfaction with Residential Housing and its Impact on their Loyalty – A South African Study

As an important component of student lifestyle, satisfaction with residential housing has become important in examining student housing quality and services. The current study used five attributes – bedroom environment, building quality, washroom facilities, support services, and leisure room facilities – to examine the relationship between student satisfaction with and loyalty to their residential housing. Each construct was measured using four items on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 ‘Strongly disagree’ to 5 ‘Strongly agree’. The data were collected from South African students aged 18 years and above in tertiary institutions in Johannesburg, using paper-based questionnaires. Four hundred and forty-three (443) usable questionnaires were obtained for the analysis. The results showed that all the attributes, except for the bedroom environment, had a positive and significant relationship with student loyalty to student housing, although the effect was small for all the attributes. The control variables – age and gender – showed a similar relationship in regards to student loyalty. Academic and management implications of this study’s results are also discussed extensively. Overall, students’ satisfaction with residential housing dimensions has a positive and significant impact on their loyalty to the providers of residential housing.
