Developing appropriate exit strategies for housing regeneration programmes
Full text linkKeith Jacobs, Kathy Arthurson and Bill Randolph present the findings of a project to review current practices and develop appropriate exit strategy models. Evidence strongly suggests that the longer the timescales allowed for the development and embedding of appropriate exit structures and strategies during the lifetime of the renewal project, the greater the likelihood of a successful transition beyond the end of the project
Editorial
No full textThe author focuses on the issue concerning social exclusion in Australian's government social policy. She articulates the advantages and disadvantages of adopting social exclusion in contemporary research and policy debates related to housing, disability and place-based initiatives, as well as welfare reform. She also discusses the relevance housing system to social exclusion and inclusion
Resident participation: framing the vision for community regeneration
No full textPublic housing estate regeneration and the active involvement of residents are the topics of this paper. The author explains that without active involvement of residents in regeneration, policy measures are likely to fail and in doing so reinforce any existing sense of political powerlessness in disadvantaged communities. She examines some of the courses of action that aim to increase residents' access to decision making processes in two Australian regeneration projects, at Manoora in far North Queensland and The Parks in metropolitan South Australia. The processes around the development of the community action plans are compared and contrasted, to ascertain what is working well and not so well, and to identify some of the major challenges and tensions arising in the two projects
Developing effective housing management policies to address problems of antisocial behaviour
No full textThis project entailed a set of overlapping research strands that together should provide State housing agencies with the evidence base to develop effective forms of intervention to address anti-social behaviour. Authors: Keith Jacobs, Kathy Arthurson, Rob White and Jed Donoghu
Developing appropriate exit strategies for housing regeneration programmes
No full textOne of the major challenges faced by state housing authorities engaged in housing estate regeneration/renewal programs is to sustain the benefits that accrue from an initial injection of resources. In this report Keith Jacobs, Kathy Arthurson and Bill Randolph explore the utility of exit strategies and examine models that can be deployed in Australian regeneration projects
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Chapter 9 The role of qualitative research in identifying residents' perspectives about social mix
No full textResidents' perspectives about social mix
No full textThe State of Australian Cities (SOAC) national conferences have been held biennially since 2003 to support interdisciplinary policy-related urban research.
This paper was presented at SOAC 2 held in Brisbane from 30 November to 2 December 2005.
SOAC 2 was hosted by the Urban Research Program at the South Bank campus, Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University.
The principal intention of the conference was to lead a dialogue between leading researchers on the state of Australian cities and where they might be headed. SOAC 2 was designed to lead to a better understanding of the research needs of Australian cities and to provide those in the public and private sectors with a better appreciation of the current state and capacities of researchers.
SOAC 2 brought together participants from a wide range of fields, including:
academics, researchers, policy makers, private and public sector practitioners, leaders in government, social commentators and the media.
Conference papers published fromSOAC 2 were subject to a peer review process prior to presentation at the conference, with further editing prior to publication
