In the past it has often been assumed that, although rental of real estate in Classical Greece was relatively common, sales of such property were not. This article challenges that assumption by looking in detail at a small group of inscriptions from Olynthos in the Chalkidiki, which date to the first half of the fourth century and record transactions involving houses in the city. By analysing these documents in conjunction with their archaeological contexts, it becomes evident that there was a systematic set of criteria by which such properties were valued, and that a premium was placed upon larger houses and those located close to the agora, at the centre of the social and political life of the city. This adds a new dimension to the emerging picture of the increasing use of the house as a symbol of personal prestige during the fourth century. The limited evidence available from Athens and the Attic deme centres suggests that Attic town houses had a comparable range of values and that a similar shared concept of value may therefore have been operating. It thus seems that in the case of town houses, at least, sufficient properties were changing hands for potential purchasers to have a shared concept of their value, and this may indicate that families moved between different areas of a settlement, or between different settlements.

Urban/social fragility is the main focus of most studies on civil economy involving the commitment of politics in the prospect of integrating and somehow guiding an ordered development of and ordered communities. The contemporary city is strongly influenced by the incommunicability between the social system and environment, the latter more and more, including urban and societal components. This study tries to outline a comparative social-urban profile of Picanello, a popular central neighborhood of Catania, in Sicily, Italy, characterized by the combination of different urban and social life-quality levels, thus expressing a heterogeneous vulnerability/resilience profile. The analysis is placed in the urban planning context and aims to: (1) Denotative a pattern that considers the different fragility/resilience descriptive indices; and (2) connotative a pattern of the human and urban dimensions of the social capital asset. This analysis was performed by implementing a multidimensional pattern allowing us to place the neighborhood in a ranking of the neighborhoods of Catania, thus highlighting strength and weakness under different respects. Furthermore, the monetary measurements of this vulnerability/resilience profile, was carried by means of the structured observation of the real estate market. Fuzzy k-medoids cluster analyses have been comparatively performed—showing and mapping the relationships between urban value density and real estate market prices tensions.

Em meados dos anos 1960, Itinga - em Lauro de Freitas, município da Região Metropolitana de Salvador - era considerada uma área distante, caracterizada pela presença de grandes fazendas abandonadas, sendo, portanto, uma terra que não despertava interesse comercial. Nesta mesma década, dentre as conseqüências da inserção da Bahia no projeto de industrialização nacional, ocorreram alterações na estrutura sócio-espacial de Salvador que expandia sua ocupação e lógica para municípios contíguos, como Lauro de Freitas. Itinga, então, na condição de periferia de Salvador, passou a ser objeto interessante ao mercado imobiliário: no seu território foram implantados, rapidamente, inúmeros loteamentos populares, sem qualquer infra-estrutura, apresentando precárias condições de vida. Em 2005, Itinga, consolidada como bairro popular, contava com inúmeros loteamentos populares, estabelecimentos comerciais e de serviços públicos e privados. As condições de vida mudaram e, como dizem seus moradores, o “progresso” do bairro é visível. Porém, Itinga ainda é periferia, tanto de Salvador, como de Lauro de Freitas. Nesse sentido, este artigo pretende discutir algumas das implicações de morar na periferia, para tanto se analisam as condições de moradia em Itinga, no início de sua “urbanização” e atualmente, comparando-as com as existentes em outros bairros de Lauro de Freitas. Abstract In the middle of the 1960s, Itinga — located in Lauro of Freitas, municipality of the Metropolitan Area of Salvador — was considered a distant area and characterized by the presence of great abandoned farms, therefore, being a land that attract no commercial interests. On that same decade, among the consequences of the insertion of Bahia State in the national project of industrialization, it happened some alterations in the social-spatial structure of Salvador that expanded its kind of logic and spatial occupation to contiguous municipalities, like Lauro de Freitas. So, Itinga, under the condition of peripheral district of Salvador, started to be an interesting object to the real estate market: in its territory it was quickly established countless popular divisions into lots, without any infrastructure and presenting precarious life conditions. In 2005, Itinga, consolidated as popular neighborhood, counted with countless popular divisions into lots, commercial establishments and public and private services. The life conditions changed and, as their residents use to say, the “progress” of the neighborhood is visible. However, Itinga is still periphery of Salvador and, at the same time, periphery of Lauro de Freitas. In that sense, this article intends to discuss some of the consequences of living in the periphery, for so much, it analyzes the living conditions of Itinga at the beginning of its “urbanization” and nowadays, and it compares such conditions with the existent ones, in other neighborhoods of Lauro de Freitas.
