Criteria for classification of competitive housing projects in terms of their environmental friendliness
This article deals with social and economic essence of strategy of the housing industry development, both complex system of economic relations in field of production and consumption, which is regulated through the mechanism of prices and implemented through formation and realization of priority directions. Developed criteria for classification of housing construction projects as environmentally friendly and the quality criteria of variables for assessment of the environmental friendliness of residential buildings allowed to determine the ways of development of the industry on the basis of creation of competitive projects in interrelation with quality, environmental friendliness and price of consumption.

Affordable housing in New York : the people, places, and policies that transformed a city
How has America's most expensive and progressive city helped its residents to live? Since the nineteenth century, the need for high-quality affordable housing has been one of New York City's most urgent issues. Affordable Housing in New York explores the past, present, and future of the city's pioneering efforts, from the 1920s to the major initiatives of Mayor Bill de Blasio. The book examines the people, places, and policies that have helped make New York livable, from early experiments by housing reformers and the innovative public-private solutions of the 1970s and 1980s to today's professionalized affordable housing industry. More than two dozen leading scholars tell the story of key figures of the era, including Fiorello LaGuardia, Robert Moses, Jane Jacobs, and Ed Koch. Over twenty-five individual housing complexes are profiled, including Queensbridge Houses, America's largest public housing complex; Stuyvesant Town; Co-op City; and recent additions like Via Verde.--Publisher description.

The Effectiveness of Livable Housing Program: A Case Study of Pidie District of Aceh Province
A livable house construction program was implemented for the poor by the governments of Pidie district and Aceh province to improve the welfare of the people. These programs were, however, observed not to be effective in achieving the targeted objectives. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the decent housing assistant program implemented by the government of Aceh province and Pidie district in 2019 and 2020. This involved the application of the effectiveness analysis through four variables of input, output, outcome, and impact using modified Dantes formula with five achievement levels. Findings from this work is related to effectiveness of the livable house construction programs implemented in Pidie Regency were used to draw the following conclusions: (a) The Aceh provincial government program was analyzed using four variables and found to be effective. The input and output variables were recorded to be quite effective while the outcome and impact variables were less effective; (2) the Pidie regency government program was also analyzed using four variables and found to be less while the input was discovered to be quite effective while the output, outcome, and impact were less effective.

Human causes of soil loss in rural karst environments: a case study of Guizhou, China
Rocky desertification induced by soil loss is a serious ecological problem in karst mountain areas. Lack of awareness in the local population of the need for soil conservation has led to intense human disturbance that has accelerated soil loss and in turn caused a high proportion of land in rural environments to undergo rocky desertification. In this review, we discuss five human-related causes that have accelerated soil loss in the rural karst mountainous areas of Guizhou Province, southwestern China. These causes include road erosion, house construction, steep slope cultivation, tourism development, and animal trampling. These activities destroy surface vegetation and increase the potential for soil loss through exposed swallow holes (karst fissures). In addition to the national development strategy of rural revitalization and countryside beautification already implemented in the western region, the human impacts on the rural environment must be addressed. We discuss some effective measures the government should adopt to control the various types of soil loss due to human activities. Our review and findings provide a better understanding of anthropogenic soil loss in karst rural environments and present information to raise people’s awareness of measures that are needed to protect the soil resources in this region.

The Production Function for Housing: Evidence from France
We propose a new nonparametric approach to estimate the production function for housing. Our estimation treats output as a latent variable and relies on a first-order condition for profit maximization combined with a zero-profit condition. More desirable locations command higher land prices and, in turn, more capital to build houses. For parcels of a given size, we compute housing production by summing across the marginal products of capital. For newly built single-family homes in France, the production function for housing is close to constant returns and is well, though not perfectly, approximated by a Cobb-Douglas function with a capital elasticity of 0.65.

The reasons and proposed treatments for the housing problem in Iraq
Iraq suffers from a housing problem, especially if it knows that there is a huge population deficit in Iraq estimated at more than 3 million housing units corresponding to a large variation in housing construction rates. Which led to the aggravation of the housing problem in the country. Therefore, it requires the responsible authorities to accelerate the adoption of a new strategy to solve the housing problem. The principle of establishing low cost residential complexes is based on adopting multi-storey residential buildings of 3 to 4 floors. The characteristic of these buildings in terms of suitable population densities, effective and economical use of the land. Thus, reducing housing costs to meet the large deficit and the growing population demand. For the target year 2040, the expected population of Baghdad will be increasing 11174249 people. So, the estimate of the housing need for the city of Baghdad 2040 need to 1196340 housing units. General, adoption of multi-storey housing (3-4) is the solution to eliminate the housing problem.

The Adyghe (Circassians) interior of the XVIII - XX centuries
The article discusses the differences and monotony of the traditional home and the interior decoration of different population strata. In some cases, the nobility and gentry needs were the reason and basis for a slight increase in the houses' construction and interior, which started being differentiated from the poor in terms of population. The article covers the XVIII - XX centuries, when the small changes started taking place in the interior and in construction, related to the climatic conditions and places of residence.

The Folk Economics of Housing
Why is housing supply so severely restricted in US cities and suburbs? Urban economists offer two primary hypotheses: homeowner self-interest and political fragmentation. Homeowners, who outnumber and have organizational advantages over renters, are said to lobby against development to protect their property values. The fragmentation hypothesis emphasizes that development's negative externalities are borne locally while most of the benefits accrue regionally or nationally, leading localities to block housing. This paper offers another explanation: ordinary people simply do not believe that adding more housing to the regional stock would reduce housing prices. Across three original surveys of urban and suburban residents, only a minority of respondents say that a large, positive, regional housing supply shock would reduce prices or rents. These beliefs are weakly held and unstable (suggesting people have given the issue little thought), but respondents do have stable views about who is to blame for high housing prices: developers and landlords. Large, bipartisan supermajorities support price controls, demand subsidies, and restrictions on putative bad actors, policies which they believe would be more effective than supply liberalization for widespread affordability. We discuss the implications of these findings for efforts to expand the supply of housing.
