Factors Affecting Household Housing Mobility: the Case of Ankara
(Kare Publ, 2017) Eceral, Tanyel Ozelci; Ugurlar, Aysu
Household housing mobility, which reflects social, economic, and spatial aspects of housing, is one of the most important determinants of housing demand. Household mobility is related to factors such as life course/life cycle, housing profile, and the preferences/satisfaction of an individual or household. The aim of this study is to examine factors affecting household mobility in the metropolitan of Ankara. Data acquired from a 534-unit household survey in neighborhoods of Ankara's metropolitan districts that were selected to represent the varied socioeconomic structure of the city were evaluated with descriptive statistics and factor analysis. According to the results of factor analysis, the economic structure of households, life course variables, housing profile, and location were the factors affecting household mobility in Ankara. Our results indicated that while rental housing stands out through the household mobility phases, the time span of living in a house decreases through mobility phases. Life course effects influence household mobility rather than life cycle effects and preferences/satisfaction factors as mobility phases proceed.
Motivations of Tenancy and the Diversity of Tenants: the Case of Ankara, Turkey
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Ugurlar, Aysu; Eceral, Tanyel Ozelci
Motivations of tenancy could be related to economic, social and spatial issues, such as, lifecycle/life course, affordability and accessibility. This implies the diversity of tenants living in cities. Ankara, as the capital and the second biggest metropolitan city of Turkey, has a high proportion of tenants. In this study, the diversity of tenants and motivations for tenancy in Ankara is investigated with a socio-demographic, economic and locational perspective, analyzing the reasons for housing mobility and preference of the current house, and the variables affecting the diversification of tenants, according to income level through a survey of 475 households. Considering the evidences of the case study, lifecycle/life course issues have an important role in the choice of tenancy, while economic affordability is a major reason for the housing mobility of tenant households. The diversity of tenants in Ankara is categorized as "temporary" who benefit from educational and employment facilities of the city; "semi-permanent" characterized by the households who prefer to live as a tenant; and "persistent", characterized by low-income households who do not have the opportunity to purchase a house. As a conclusion, the importance of developing rental housing strategies especially aiming the low-income households is emphasized.
