Housing Density

Residents’ Perspectives on Living in Inner City Medium Density Housing

Newcastle has become hip. No one is exactly sure when, or even how it happened, but somewhere after the closure of BHP the city has lived up to what has become a much-used phrase it has moved from steel city to style city. ... Much of the change has taken place around the foreshore, where the Honeysuckle urban renewal project has Novocastrians and visitors working, living and playing ... The la...

Non-local crime density estimation incorporating housing information

Given a discrete sample of event locations, we wish to produce a probability density that models the relative probability of events occurring in a spatial domain. Standard density estimation techniques do not incorporate priors informed by spatial data. Such methods can result in assigning significant positive probability to locations where events cannot realistically occur. In particular, when...

Housing density and growth in juvenile red-eared turtles.

Growth rates in juvenile turtles relate strongly to their health and welfare, both in the wild and in captivity. Newly hatched turtles in the wild are subject to such high levels of predation that, in some cases, as few as I % survive their first year of life. Juvenile turtles in captivity succumb more quickly to the effects of poor housing conditions and poor diets than do older adults. In bot...

Effects of changing housing conditions on mangabey behavior (Cercocebus atys): Spatial density, housing quality, and novelty effects.

The separate influences of spatial density and housing quality on the behavior of captive animals are difficult to measure because the two factors are often intrinsically linked. Here, we recorded affiliative and agonistic behavior in adult sooty mangabeys in various housing situations, testing spatial density and housing quality changes separately (N = 26 experienced spatial density changes; N...
