Analysis of the Effect of Location, Design, Housing Facilities, Environmental Characteristics and Developer Brands on Land Value of Housing Properties in Medan Sunggal

This study was conducted to examine the effect of location, design, housing facilities, environmental characteristics, and developer brand on the land value of housing properties in Medan Sunggal. The population in this study were all houses in the Imperial Mansion Housing Complex and the Habitat Housing Complex with a total of 250 housing units that had been inhabited and the sample was 72 housing units. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that location, facilities, environmental characteristics, and developer's brand had a positive and significant effect on the market value of land, and design variables had no significant effect on the market value of land considering that these parameters had a significant effect, then the development of locations, facilities, and environmental characteristics should also contribute to the brand developer.

Challenges of Implementing the PRISM 2.0 Clinical Trial With Assisted Living and Impaired Participants

The PRISM 2.0 clinical trial examined the benefits of a software system, implemented on a computer tablet, which was designed to support access to information, engagement, and social connectivity among older people. Participants across three sites were recruited from rural locations, senior living housing facilities, and assisted living facilities (ALFs) and correspondingly randomized into either the Prism or control (tablet computer without the PRISM system) conditions. In this talk, we focus on the challenges associated with including ALF participants at key stages of the trial. These stages included telephone prescreening, baseline assessment, training on the system, and 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow-up assessments. Inability to meet inclusion criteria related to cognitive and sensory-motor considerations was a common problem, as was the ability to sustain attention during the training sessions. Recommendations for recruitment and retaining older adults in ALFs for these types of studies will be offered.

Add, Transform, and Utilize. Possibilities of Applying Druot, Lacaton, and Vassal’s Modernization Strategies and Solutions in Polish Large-Panel Housing Estates

In 2004, in response to France’s 1960s and 1970s urban regeneration program proposing the demolition and redevelopment of large scale social housing developments, Frédérik Druot, Anne Lacaton, and Jean-Philippe Vassal created their PLUS theory (PLUS—Les grands ensembles de logements–Territoires d’exception). Its main aim was to modernize the existing buildings, and to add extra living space, functional freedom, and comfort. This essay examines the PLUS strategy and two of the architects’ projects: the Bois le Prêtre Tower in Paris and the Grand Parc housing estate in Bordeaux. Its aim is to examine the tools used by the architects and investigate the purposefulness and potential of using their solutions in Polish large-scale prefabricated housing estates. Combining the categories of luxury and saving in redevelopment of housing estates paves the way for a new outlook. Maximizing living space, quality, and freedom of living in housing facilities that are not part of the commercial luxury segment of the housing market may prevent potential gentrification and homogenization of the social structure in individual city districts.

Mediating the Brief: Reconceptualising Typology for New Zealand's Ageing Population

<p>New Zealand, like much of the developed world, has an ageing population. This fact is accompanied by evidence which shows that people’s life spans are also increasing (WHO 6). As the population continues to age, housing facilities for older New Zealanders are going to become more visible and more important. With huge growth looming for this housing sector questions are surfacing over the capacity for existing elderly housing typologies to allow residents to age positively. Positive ageing is judged by the state of someone’s physical, social and mental well-being (WHO 12). The field of architecture has an opportunity to play an active role in transforming the typology of elderly housing facilities, to make a new living environment that feels like an enjoyable place to be housed during a person’s later years. This thesis develops a position on the current state of living options for the elderly and the effect they have on the well-being of residents. The findings and insights drawn from literature and case study analysis help to determine a suitable direction for the future design of elderly housing typologies. This is tested through a design-based project. The outcome of this research finds that elderly housing typologies require a change in theme from segregation to integration. In response, the design project proposes a multigenerational housing environment in close proximity to a high number of leisure, health, educational, cultural and voluntary amenities to ensure elderly people can remain independent longer and continue to be active citizens within the community. The project supports strong links with the community through the use of a semi-public external courtyard space which provides significant interface between the elderly and members of the wider community, making it an effective mechanism for integration. The design of interior living environments aims to provide more flexibility to the living unit over time and enhance opportunities for casual social interaction to take place. Overall the research suggests that a living environment for elderly people which is well integrated into the community and provides opportunities for casual social interaction will help reduce problems associated with ageing and ultimately contribute to the elderly living a better quality of life.</p>

Research on Supply and Demand in the Primary Housing Market by Structurizing on the Basis of the Number of Apartments and Bedrooms

All the household sector throughout the Russian Federation needs to improve housing facilities. The objective of an optimally organized economic system of a state is to provide a state or market possibility for all the categories of citizens to meet their demand for housing. The aim of the research is to identify the necessary structure of market housing supply in terms of number of bedrooms. The supply and demand in the first housing market are analyzed in order to substantiate the developers’ shaping of the housing supply strategy. Structurizing on the basis of the number of apartments and bedrooms is emphasized. As a part of the research, the problem of finding the optimal living area allocated for apartments with different number of bedrooms was formalized and solved. Due to the solution, developers will be able to create a housing proposal, taking into account the number of bedrooms, аnd state government bodies will be able to plan construction orders for citizens supported by the government more accurately. It was recommended to include the calculation of the indicator «number of bedrooms per each member of the family» into the methods of calculating target indicators of the state program for the Irkutsk region «Available Housing» for 2019–2024 (into Part 3 «Target Indicators of the Subprogram «Housing Construction Support in the Irkutsk Region» for 2019–2024»).

KAJIAN HAK KEPEMILIKAN PROPERTI OLEH WARGA NEGARA ASING DI INDONESIA

In developing the Indonesian state, a large amount of money is required. One of the financing comes from investment or capital invested by foreign parties with an investment permit of 30-60 years. The impact of this period causes foreigners to need housing facilities that can support their activities and streamline their business in the context of PMA. In response to these conditions, the government issued Government Regulation No. 41/1996. Based on such regulatory conditions, foreigners generally get a house by renting. This allows foreigners to apply for a rental period of more than 10 years for Indonesians who own the house. However, in practice there are many houses whose conditions, room arrangement, layout, environment, or so on do not suit the tastes of foreigners. In addition, the condition of ownership of property on a lease basis also prevents foreigners from being able to renovate space. According to the UUPA, foreigners are not allowed to own HGB and can only obtain usage rights. This needs to be revised to adapt to the current and more dynamic investment climate conditions. In other countries the right to use property reaches 99 years. The proposal to extend the right to use housing for foreigners will contribute foreign exchange for the country.
