Title: Community choices and housing demands: a spatial analysis of the southern Appalachian highlands
Author(s): Cho, Seong-Hoon; Newman, David H.; Wear, David N.
Date: 2005
Source: Housing Studies, Vol. 20(4): 549-569
Description: This paper examines housing demand using an integrated approach that combines residential decisions about choices of community in the Southern Appalachian region with the application of a Geographic Information System (GIS). The empirical model infers a distinctive heterogeneity in the characteristics of community choices. The results also indicate that socio-economic motives strongly affect urban housing demands while environmental amenities affect those of rural housing demand.
