Item Restricted Disability and the relative risk of homelessness: a quantitative exploration(The University of Adelaide, 2012) Baker, E.; Beer, A.; Lester, L.; Australasian Housing Researchers' Conference (6th : 2012 : Adelaide, South Australia); Centre for Housing, Urban and Regional Planning (CHURP)In a number of Australian and international studies persons with a disability have been shown to be more vulnerable to homelessness than the broader population. While homelessness among this group is often related to low incomes, restricted engagement with the labour market, and housing limitations, it is also clear that homelessness risk, and the pathways into (and out of) homelessness for individuals with different disability types, are diverse. This research examines the relative risk of homelessness for Australians with a disability, and compares outcomes across major disability types. The paper reports on the quantitative findings of an analysis of two large Australian datasets - the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey and the Australian Bureau of Statistics' General Social Survey (GSS). The relative risk of homelessness is analysed for the Australian population along a ten-point continuum. This risk approach allows the examination of populations with a disability who have experienced homelessness, those who may be at risk or on the edges of homelessness, as well as those who may be protected from the risk of homelessness. The analysis shows that Australian populations with a disability are distinct from populations without disabilities in terms of their risk of homelessness. Beyond simple higher level risk, the analysis reveals distinct patterns across the entire homelessness continuum, indicating sub-populations who may either be protected from, or made more vulnerable to homelessness, by their disability. Such findings have broad relevance for the development of homelessness and housing policy and the provision of services for disabled populations.Item Metadata only High-rise, high-density urban waterfront redevelopment: A metropolitan policy panacea or placebo in recreating sustainable 21st century cities?(The University of Adelaide, 2012) Oakley, S.; Australasian Housing Researchers' Conference (6th : 2012 : Adelaide, South Australia)Waterfront redevelopments have the potential to provide residential opportunities for thousands of Australians in what could be described as a novel urban experiment - high rise, near city living with governance and planning arrangements unlike Master Planned Estates (MPEs). For the Federal Government, newly concerned with issues of sustainability, liveability and quality of life, these sites assume importance because of their scale, while for State governments waterfront developments is a centre piece of metropolitan promotion and part of an overall densification agenda. Waterfront redevelopment is a social and spatial experiment. In the 21st century these projects have taken on a new urgency and their development has increasingly become politically, socially and economically significant as urban populations have burgeoned, and governments have sought ways to house, employ and ensure a quality environment in already congested inner-middle urban areas, some of which are experiencing increasing land costs and housing market stress. As waterfront redevelopments are promoted as supporting large urban populations this paper examines the capacity of these projects to provide planning processes that can deliver equitable distributional outcomes in terms of environmentally and socially sustainable spaces of mixed housing tenure, amenity and quality urban design. Drawing on the Port Adelaide waterfront as a case study this paper provides a critical evaluation of the costs and benefits in terms of its integration into the planning and development strategy for metropolitan Adelaide.Item Metadata only Housing co-operatives: The lived experience in an alternative housing sector(The University of Adelaide, 2012) Bunce, D.; Australasian Housing Researchers' Conference (6th : 2012 : Adelaide, South Australia); Centre for Housing, Urban and Regional Planning (CHURP)Item Metadata only Responding to Youth Homelessness in the 21st Century: A research and policy agenda for delivering a better model of accommodation and support that fosters civic inclusion and participation for young homeless people(The University of Adelaide, 2012) Goudie, S.; Oakley, S.; Australasian Housing Researchers' Conference (6th : 2012 : Adelaide, South Australia)
