Housing Vacancy

In recent years, many cities in developed countries have struggled with housing vacancy. Empty homes are accompanied by social problems such as vandalism, arson, unsanitary environments, and collapse risk. Vacant houses also have negative effects on the value of nearby properties and their local communities. Accordingly, there have been various policy responses to tackle this problem. In spite of these efforts, however, the number of vacant houses continues to increase alongside a population decrease and imprudent developments. In South Korea, the number of vacant houses has increased since the 1990s, and central and local governments started developing plans and policies to resolve the problem from 2010. However, most of these policies have many similarities regardless of their differing regional conditions and contexts. Housing vacancy varies according to regions, its magnitude, surrounding environments or housing types, and thus calls for multilateral approaches. This article, therefore, aims to identify distributional characteristics of vacant houses in South Korea, and categorize them into three groups with regional contexts using cluster analysis. The study further found that there are differences in affecting factors of vacant houses by type through the use of a multiple regression model. Based on the analysis, the ways of managing housing vacancy for sustainable development are discussed.

Much attention has been given in recent years to the conversion of substantial amounts of rural land to urban uses. A variety of policies designed to encourage the retention of rural open space have been either proposed or implemented by many state and local governments. Because the decision to convert land to urban uses is generally a private decision in response to market forces, an understanding of these market forces should facilitate better policy development and implementation. This paper reports on a research project designed to explore the forces affecting rural land prices in areas where the rural land market is significantly influenced by the demand for land for urban or suburban uses. Publicly available data on transfers of rural land were analyzed, using a multiple regression model, to both identify and quantify the importance of factors affecting rural land prices.

Previous studies on housing vacancy mostly focused on variables representing regional characteristics while overlooking the characteristics of individual houses. This is due to the limitations of available data. Using the house-level Housing Vacancy Database, this study aims to identify the spatial clustering pattern of vacant houses by examining single-family houses in Daegu, South Korea, and analyze the factors affecting housing vacancy. The Housing Vacancy Database built in this study provides accurate location information of vacant houses, making it possible to analyze the clustering pattern of vacant houses in a more detailed spatial unit. Furthermore, the Housing Vacancy Database considered various physical and neighborhood factors at the house level. The result of hot spot analysis showed that vacant houses were spatially concentrated in the city center. As a result of analyzing the factors affecting housing vacancy at the house level and neighborhood level using a multilevel model, it was found that the physical environment characteristics of individual houses were key factors affecting housing vacancy. Additionally, the probability of housing vacancy tended to increase when the land prices were higher, the houses were located in redevelopment zones, and there were more neighboring vacant houses nearby. Meanwhile, population decline and the ratio of old houses were the only significant variables at the neighborhood level. Thus, this study addresses that policies are needed to improve housing and physical environment characteristics that contribute to housing vacancy.

Potential Factors

Existing studies on interlocal collaboration have focused on whether or not to form collaboration. However, we examine the extent to which local governments collaborate with each other. We measure collaboration by the number of partnering local governments in different partnerships, and test hypotheses on the potential factors affecting the degree of collaboration among local governments from a resource-based view. With a sample of 70 partnerships established for local economic development among 116 local governments in South Korea, we find that local governments with less financial resources and private sector capacity are likely to establish more collaborative partnerships. By contrast, local governments with more human resources are likely to build more partnerships with others.

Резиме: Економија Босне и Херцеговине (БиХ) и Републике Српске још увијек не показују знакове снажнијег опоравка и изласка из економске кризе. За разлику од великог броја развијених земаља свијета које су препознале могућности кластеризације као једног од модела јачања малих и средњих предузећа (МСП) и превазилажења негативних ефеката глобалне економске кризе, у БиХ кластетиризација није препозната као модел економског развоја. Циљ овог истраживања је тражење одговора на питања који су доминантни фактори који утичу на удруживање МСП у кластере у РС, а који фактори демотивишу и успоравају кластеризацију МСП? Истраживање је спроведено на територији десет градова и општина РС методом случајног узорка од 106 МСП (85 предузећа из истраживачког узорка нису чланови кластера, док 21 предузеће из узорка су чланови кластера). Дошли смо до закључка да су у РС кластери препознати као једна од могућности да се подстакне развој МСП, а тиме и конкурентност националне привреде, али да тај процес није далеко одмакао. Мање од 30 анкетираних предузећа из узорка у РС упознато је са радом кластера уопште. Испитаници који не познају најзначајније кластере нису упознати са улогом кластера. Уласком у кластер, предузећа се развијају и расту што потврђује раст просјечног броја запослених у предузећима, члановима кластера, у првом кварталу 2013. године, у односу на годину уласка ових предузећа у кластер. Предузећа, чланови кластера, у највећем су броју случајева само дјелимично задовољна радом кластера. Што се тиче побољшања рада кластера, 61,9% анкетираних сматра да би снажнија државна помоћ утицала на побољшање рада кластера, а 19,05% сматра да би томе допринио активнији рад кластер менаџера.Summary: Economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) and Republic of Srpska is still not showign a signs of recovery and out of the economic crises. Unlike the large number of developed countries that have recognized the possibilities of clustering as a model of strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and overcoming negative effects of the global economic crisis in B&H clustering is not recognized as a model of economic development. The aim of the research is seeking an answer on the question which dominant factors affecting the association of SMEs in clusters in Republic of Srpska and which factors are discouraging and slowing down this association? The research was conducted on the territory of the ten cities and municipalities in Republic of Srpska through random sampling method consisted by 106 SMEs (85 companies from research samples are not members of the cluster, while 21 companies in the sample are members of the cluster). We came to the conclusion that in the Republic of Srpska clusters are recognized as one of the possibilities to encourage the SMEs development, and thus the competitiveness of the national economy, but the process has not gone far. Less than 30% of the companies in the sample in the Republic of Srpska is familiar with the work of clusters in general. Entering the cluster, companies evolving and growing as evidenced by the growth in the average number of employees in companies, members of the cluster, in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the year of entry of these enterprises in the cluster. Enterprises which are cluster members, in most cases are only partially satisfied with the performance of the cluster. Regarding the improvement of cluster, 61,9% of respondents believe that greater state support would affect the improvement of cluster, and 19,05% think that active engagement of cluster managers would contribute as well.

This paper presents a quantitative study in measuring the perception of Malaysian SME towards ecommerce as an innovation and factors affecting the adoption of it. It is concerned with initiatives that are intended to help SME in Malaysia to adopt E-commerce as an innovation. The research has two main emphases: First, it presents some preliminary findings on the perception of Malaysian SME towards E-commerce as an innovation; and the level of confidence towards E-commerce as an innovation. Second, it streamlines various initiatives by Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), Small and Medium Industries Development Corporation (SMIDEC), BankNegara Malaysia and local governments in accelerating the acceptance of E-commerce by Malaysian SME. The study engaged 38 SME participants through a survey using a self-administered questionnaire. 32% of the surveyed SME are from the Type 1 Industry; comprising manufacturing, manufacturing related services, and agro-based services and about 68% are from Type 2 Industry comprising services, primary agriculture, and ICT. The self administered questionnaire consists of two sections. Section I contains demographic information and SME specification while Section II contains 37 items: 31 items utilised Likert Scales items ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5(strongly agree), and six items utilised defined interval scales. Rogers' attributes of innovations (2003): relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trial ability and observability were used in the construct of the research instrument. This research emphasizes on Rogers'framework, as it was found useful where the study sought to understand the diffusion and use of Ecommerce by Malaysian SME in the investigation. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse and present empirical data of the 38 SME. The results from the quantitative data provided information on addressing barriers to SME, and confirmed the characteristics of Rogers' adoption categories. The study shows that the instrument which was designed with seven constructs lacked internal consistency in two determinants: relative advantage and observability. Findings interpreted through Rogers' theory suggest that an action plan should include initiatives to help SME towards E-commerce as an innovation.

The Impact

The impact of globalization on multinational enterprises was examined from the years 1980 to 2020. A scoping literature review was conducted for a total of 141 articles. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed typologies were categorized and conclusions were drawn regarding the influence and performance (i.e., positive or negative effects) of globalization. Developed countries show more saturated markets than developing countries that favor developing country multinational enterprises to rely heavily on foreign sales for revenue growth. Developed country multinationals are likely to use more advanced factors of production to create revenue, whereas developing country multinationals are more likely to use less advanced forms. A number of common trends and issues showed corporate social responsibility, emerging markets, political issues, and economic matters as key to global market production. Recommendations signal a strong need for more research that addresses contributive effects in the different economies, starting with the emerging to the developed. Limitations of data availability and inconsistency posed a challenge for this review, yet the use of operationalization, techniques, and analyses from the business literature enabled this study to be an excellent starting point for additional work in the field.
