The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes of rural housing conditions by comparing the general housing indicators of rural area and those of urban. For those purposes, the indicators that present the housing conditions are set up, and the changes of average housing conditions are analyzed by a region : Shis(cities), Ups, Myons. For the analysis, Population and Housing Census Report and related data were used. Rural housing conditions have become better since the 1960s in the aspect of quality. They are, however, relatively much worse than those of urban areas. The gap of housing conditions between urban and rural housing is big, especially in qualitative indicators, which are housing facilities. Quantitative indicators, which are housing supply rate and ownership rate, are better than urban conditions.

This study is to investigate urban housing conditions in Seoul since 1945. The purposes of this study is to analyze the changes of housing conditions and the gap of average housing conditions and the housing norms longitudinally.For those purposes, the indicators that present the housing conditions are introduced, and the changes of average housing conditions are analyzed by social class, using Population and Housing Census and relateddata. Korean urban housing conditions has been better since 1970s in the aspect of quality. It is, however, relatively much worse than that of developed countries. The gap of housing conditions among social classes is large, especially in qualitative indicators, density and housing facilities. Comparing it with housing norm(as an ideal measurement), it is much worse.

Deficiency in access to housing is a major manifestation of poverty. In the city of Bangalore, the poor and the marginalized constitute nearly 30 percent of the 8.47 million population (2011 Census) and are living in the nearly 640 slums in addition to squatter settlements and pavements. The city sprawls over an area of 741 sq. kms (2007 estimates) and the poor have very little access to personal living space. According to the Integrated Housing and Slum Development Program guidelines, each household with four average members should have 25 sq. meters of living space. In the case of poor of Bangalore, the attainment of even this minimum is a far cry. In recognition of this acuteness with regard to the problem of housing, the government has introduced schemes like the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission and the Rajiv Awas Yojana. And these schemes have witnessed only a limited success. Whenever the problem of housing for the urban poor is considered, the state and location of slums get into focus. The people living in slums are a crucial and inevitable support to the city economy. Relocation of slum people is fraught with loss of productivity and strain on the transport system and on the incomes of the poor. Their needs like housing, schooling, health centers, creches, hospices etc. have to be provided for. Financial support to the poor with regard to their housing needs will have to be imaginatively provided by banks and related institutions.

As a result of the 2010 census, the most severe change appears household structure changes and single-person households's constantly increasing. As a result, the following changes in the housing market are to be expected. First, the changes to the center of the two-person households in four-person households would be reorganized into the small and medium-sized apartment in the center of mid-range and high-end apartments. Second, on the continued increase in the proportion of one-person households, the sustained growth of the rental market is expected. Third, on the continued increase in the proportion of one-person households, one-room house, office buildings, and residential urban life set to meet the needs of consumers, a variety of rental market boom times will come.

Around 80% of the 63 million people in the UK live in urban areas where demand for affordable housing is highest. Supply of new dwellings is a long way short of demand and with an average annual replacement rate of 0.5% more than 80% of the existing residential housing stock will still be in use by 2050. A high proportion of owner-occupiers, a weak private rental sector and lack of sustainable financing models render England's housing market one of the least responsive in the developed world. As an exploratory research the purpose of this paper is to examine the provision of social housing in the United Kingdom with a particular focus on England, and to set out implications for housing associations delivering sustainable community development. The paper is based on an analysis of historical data series (Census data), current macro-economic data and population projections to 2033. The paper identifies a chronic undersupply of affordable housing in England which is likely to be exacerbated by demographic development, changes in household composition and reduced availability of finance to develop new homes. Based on the housing market trends analysed in this paper opportunities are identified for policy makers to remove barriers to the delivery of new affordable homes and for social housing providers to evolve their business models by taking a wider role in sustainable community development.

The growth of vacant housing has been problematic in both Korea and other countries as it causes various socio-economic problems and negatively affects residential environments. Despite the importance of effectively managing vacant housing, few studies have been undertaken regarding spatial patterns of vacant housing growth. This study aims to examine spatial dependence in vacant housing growth. We used 2005 and 2015 Population and Housing Census and employed spatial modeling. The empirical analysis shows that there is spatial dependence in vacant housing growth. Also, the spatial clusters of growing vacant housing are present in the non-capital region and nearby cities while the spatial clusters of declining vacant housing are present in the capital region. The policy implications of this study are as follows: First, local governments should make collaborate efforts with geographically proximate cities for more effective management of vacant housing. Second, given that vacant housing is more prevalent and growing in the non-capital region, it is necessary to employ differential policies to manage housing vacancy between the capital and non-capital regions.

In many very high density cities in Asia in which there is limited area to expand, growth is forced upward as well as outward. Densely packed detached houses and low-rise buildings are replaced by lower density high-rises, leaving open spaces between high-rise buildings. Through this process, areas that formerly did not have much green space gain valuable green spaces, and new ecological corridors and patches are created. In this study, the demographic and housing-type changes of Wonju City were delineated using land use maps, aerial images, census data, and other administrative data. Green area changes were calculated using land cover data derived from multi-year Landsat TM satellite imagery. The values were then compared against demographic and housing-type changes for each administrative unit. The overall results showed a decrease of forested area in the city and an increase of developed area. Urban sprawl was clearly visible in many of the suburban areas. However, as expected, we also detected areas in which greenness did not decrease when the population greatly increased. These areas were characterized by residential building complexes of ten or more stories. If an equal number of housing units had been built as detached houses, these areas would not have kept as much green space. Our research result showed that high-density and high-rise residential structures can offer an alternative means to protect or create urban green spaces in high-density urban environments.

Provincial boundary regions need differentiated strategies from non-provincial boundary regions because they form multilayered regional networks with boundary cites and provinces. This paper aims to analyze the attributions of provincial boundary regions' regional networks in the dimensions of commuters, companies, and government and to explore their political strategies. At commuters level, Okcheon, a case study area, forms the strongest regional networks with Daejeon and does not have any regional network with Honam region. At companies level, it forms the regional network with Daejeon, Gyeonggi, and Chungbuk, and with Daejeon(Donggu, Daedukgu), and Gyeonggi(Bucheon) at government level. This paper suggests the following conclusive policies. First, provincial boundary regions should be postulated as the new policy targets. Second, Population and Housing Census should be constructed pan-regionally as the base data of regional network studies. Lastly, cooperation system among local government of the provincial boundary regions should be constructed.

One of the problems in designing the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHNES) is the lack of an appropriate sampling frame. Due to the significant time difference, we expect eight severe sampling frame errors if we use the sampling frame obtained from the latest population and housing census that was conducted in 2005. Thus, the construction of an appropriate sampling frame for the fifth KNHNES is crucial for a successful survey. We considered the construction of a sampling frame that overcomes the limitations of the 2005 population and housing census based frame. For the construction of eight new sampling frames, we considered the use of multiple sampling frames in which the frame for the apartment households and the frame for the general households are obtained from different sources.

Ascertaining the actual growth rate of the population is an issue that has generated a lot of arguments amongst various scholars in the process of determining the actual census count. As such, this has had a pronounced effect in the determination of the actual growth rates for different urban populations in the country. But the effect centres much when it comes to accurately determining the major components or the factors contributing to the rapid growth of urban populations. The problem of rapid population growth centres much on its effects on the available basic social services and amenities provided for the people in these areas. Factors such as levels of medical knowledge and services, nutrition, quantity and quality of housing etc. to some extent influence the quality and duration of lives of the people. As such, their importance cannot be overemphasized when dealing with the issue of population growth. The study aims to examine the rate of population growth in the Federal Capital City, Abuja with respect to the available public provision of basic social services among other objectives. The findings from the data obtained from the Population Survey conducted in the city in 1985 show that the health care facilities available in the capital city are grossly inadequate to serve the entire inhabitants of the city. Moreso, the volume of in-migration into the city also compounds the health problems facing the city. The conclusion is that there is need for more resources to be allocated to the health sector to guarantee adequate and functional health care services in the city.
