Residents know exactly what their neighbourhood is like. House-hunters, on the other hand, must find out for themselves about the intangible social quality of a neighbourhood. As a simple rule of thumb, neighbourhood reputation can offer them an assessment of neighbourhood quality. In this research, regression analyses are applied to test whether neighbourhood reputations are being used as a proxy measure for neighbourhood quality in residential mobility choices and establishing the price of homes. The empirical results go beyond answering this research question. What price, for instance, do r

À la Jane Jacobs beschrijft stadsgeograaf Jos Gadet in Terug naar de stad de ontwikkeling van verschillende Amsterdamse buurten. De Nieuwmarkt, de Arena Boulevard, de Sloterplas en vele andere wijken passeren de revue. Het zijn geen toeristische hotspots, maar plekken waar het alledaagse leven zich afspeelt.Persoonlijke anekdotes en sociologische, economische en stedenbouwkundige analyses wisselen elkaar af. In elk hoofdstuk staat een wijk, buurt of straat centraal: Julianapark, Van Speijkstraat, Kalfjeslaan, Molenpad ? 10 in totaal. Ze zijn exemplarisch voor vele plekken in Nederlandse en buitenlandse steden.Wat maakt de ene buurt of straat tot een succes en de andere juist niet? Hoe kan een planologische blunder toch een geliefde plek zijn om te wonen?Bron : http://www.trancity.nl/boeken/terug-naar-de-stad.html

Neighbors and Neighborhoods: Living Together in the German-Speaking World is a bilingual collection of nine essays on culture, film, language, literature, and theory. The essays in this collection address questions of community and cohesion in the modern German-speaking world, a complex sociolinguistic community that is no longer defined by territorial boundaries but that remains, in many respects, a neighborhood. How can neighborliness be possible for this world in an age of mass migration a...

Wright uses data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods to examine the effects of neighborhood structural characteristics and intervening social mechanisms of collective efficacy, social ties, culture, and disorder on intimate partner violence victimization among females. She finds that partner violence is not solely an individual-level phenomenon and that the mechanisms identified by social disorganization theory appear to explain neighborhood influences on intimate partner violence. In particular, neighborhood concentrated immigration, collective efficacy, social ties

The largest cities in Pacific Asia are the engines of their countries' economic growth, seats of national and regional political power, and repositories of the nation's culture and heritage. The economic changes impacting large cities interact with political forces along with social cultural concerns, and in the process also impact the neighbourhoods of the city. Neighbourhoods for the City in Pacific Asia looks at local collective action and city government responses and its impact on the neighbourhood and the city. A multi-sited comparative approach is taken in studying local action in five important cities (Bangkok, Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore and Taipei) in Pacific Asia. With site selection in these five cities guided by local experts, neighbourhood issues associated with the fieldsites are explored through interviews with a variety of stakeholders involved in neighourhood building and change. The book enables comparisons across a number of key issues confronting the city: heritage (Bangkok and Taipei), local community involved provisioning of amenities (Seoul and Singapore), placemaking versus place marketing (Bangkok and Hong Kong). Cities are becoming increasingly important as centers for politics, citizen engagement and governance. The collaborative efforts city governments establish with local communities become an important way to address the liveability of cities.
