AbstractAs toponymic means of inscribing urban space, street names have been addressed mainly by human geographers, who have articulated the field of critical place-name studies. In this paper, I continue the endeavor started in the previous issue published in Social Change Review of reading street names through sociological lenses. Whereas in the first part of this two-part contribution the analysis was made from functionalist and conflictualist perspectives, this second and final part employs social constructionism and the utilitarian theoretical tradition in making sociological sense of street nomenclatures. First, conceiving of street names as forming discursively constructed linguistic landscapes, the paper shows how urban namescapes – the “city-text” – are written, erased, and rewritten to reflect the shifting political powers. Second, the paper examines the neoliberal processes of place branding and toponymic commodification by which street names are turned into sought-after urban commodities with transactional value on the real estate market. The paper concludes by inviting sociologists to join the conversation on street names, which should become an important topic of sociological reflection.

Abstract The market for land for single-family housing is one of the most important segments of the real estate market. Over the last several years, we have witnessed the development of this market in the suburban areas of large agglomerations. This is connected with the intensified migration of people from the centers of big cities, and with the development of housing in suburban zones. The aim of this paper is to present the structure of the territorial origin of buyers purchasing plots designated for single-family housing in Poznań and its suburbs (with division into buyers derived from the city of Poznań, from the Poznań poviat (district), the Wielkopolska voivodeship (province), the rest of the country, and from abroad). The analysis covers the years 1995-2010.

Resumo As ações das forças políticas e do capital, em território mossoroense, têm engendrado a reunião de um conjunto de condições favoráveis ao expressivo desenvolvimento do mercado imobiliário na cidade. Tal desenvolvimento se evidencia pela significativa quantidade de investimentos aplicados na produção de condomínios residenciais fechados, destinados às classes, média e alta, e na construção de conjuntos habitacionais “populares” dentro do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV). Diante dos impactos da dinâmica do setor imobiliário sobre a economia e sobre a reconfiguração do espaço urbano local, é preciso indagar: quais fatores têm impulsionado o mercado de imóveis residenciais em Mossoró a partir dos primeiros anos de 2000 até o presente momento? Partindo dessa questão, define-se como objetivo central deste trabalho a análise das principais condições e fatores responsáveis pelo processo de expansão do mercado imobiliário em Mossoró a partir dos primeiros anos de 2000.

Real estate, in modern times, is exclusive merchandise, because it is in limited supply and is relatively high-priced compared with goods such as food, clothing, luxury goods. Properly conducted spatial planning can bring measurable benefits to both citizens and investors. This study aims to explore the directions of spatial development in the city of Lublin through an analysis of undeveloped properties sold over a study period of twenty-one months. The main objective of the study was to assess the conditions of spatial development in the city. Data from the Register of Prices and Values for Real Estates were analyzed and visualized cartographically. The number of sales of real property located on the outskirts of the city was far larger than for property situated in the central part of the area studied. During the analyzed period, a total area of 0.8895 km2 of land was sold in Lublin, which represents about 0.6% of the entire city area. Vast areas were sold in the districts located on the outskirts. Unsurprisingly, the smallest percentage of land was sold in the central part of the city. The trends observed on the undeveloped real estate market are helpful in assessing the level of suburbanization or urban-sprawl. Besides, the usefulness of cartographic methods for real estate market studies was stressed.

The libri delle case are inventories of buildings that were produced by the pious institutions of Rome—convents, confraternities, hospitals—beginning in the second half of the sixteenth century. They are based on images—first plans, later elevations and even sections—and for that reason are different from all earlier inventories. In Visual Documents, Property Archives, and the Map of the City of Rome: 1563–1712, David Friedman discusses how the introduction of images transformed both the organization and the content of the archives. Introduced at a moment of dramatic change in the real estate market, they are the means by which the documentary record focused for the first time on the physical qualities of property. The plans document a fundamental change in the way the city itself was understood. First recorded as isolated objects, the houses of the later libri are set in increasingly wide physical contexts, reflecting a vision of the city as a continuous spatial field.

In this article we consider the theoretical and applied principles of formation of the cost of residential areas of Lviv. Some factors of supply were evaluated such as: availability of housing, the exploitaition of housing, foreign direct investments, the amount of construction works. The assessment of activity indicators of the real estate market in the regions was done. Maximum of residential real estate of the secondary market of Lviv, which were on sale in 2015, was observed in FrankIvskiy region (20.0% of all objects), because it has a high degree of intensity of functioning of the real estate market in this segment. However, in Sykhivskiy region the development of secondary real estate is retarded, despite of the significant amounts of housing. An analysis of the price indices of housing in the city allowed to the authors to identify five areas of pricing, to analyze property values of the areas of the city and to outline the reasons of differentiation. The first – Central area – includes Galitskiy array. The second – middle zone – consists of Zaliznichniy, Frankivskiy, Shevchenkivskiy and Lychakivskyi arrays and Lychakiv, Pogulyanka and the New Lviv. The third – peripheral urban area – covers Levandivka, Sriblyastiy, Veliki Kravchitsi, Znesinnia, Mayorivka, Kozelnyky, Sihiv and Sykhivskiy array Bodnarivka, Kulparkiv, Zamarstyniv and Zboyischa. The fourth – peripheral area – includes Syhnivka and Ryasne. The fifth – neighborhood peripheral zone– applies to the Lysynachi and Ryasne-2. The authors managed to create a map of the potential fields in a cost of residential development in the city. The amount of new buildings in the city’s area also was analyzed in the work. According to the forecast which was made by using analytical methods of smoothing and leveling till May 2017, prices in secondary market of all areas of Lviv will gradually decrease in average house. Naturally, the highest values in prices will occur in the central and middle areas. The reason is that the investigated territory is the historical center of the city, which has a high level of service industry. This part of city has the highest level of industrial production and sales of industrial products. It also constantly focuses on development of trade and providing the local population with qualitative goods and services. Housing prices will be the lowest in peripheral approximate, peripheral and remote peripheral areas of Lviv, which are the youngest and the most isolated among other areas of the city. There are also green areas in Lviv which are characterized by insufficient availability of social facilities. The main problem here is transport infrastructure. It needs development and improvement because the locals daily faced with serious problems both during arrival at work or school and when they return home. In the work also were conducted the calculations of tightness connection (correlation) parameters of the commissioning of housing, retail turnover volume of enterprises of direct investment, the quantity of people and the average nominal wage by an average of one full-time employee. The result of the reseach is a tight connection between the commissioning of housing and retail turnover of enterprises and average nominal wages on average one staff member. It has a linear character and it’s positive. However, direct investments and quantity of population in general are not related to the investigation process.
