Olubodun, F and Mole, T (1997) The impact of tenants on public housing stock maintenance expenditure in the UK. In: Stephenson, P (ed.) Proceedings of 13th Annual ARCOM Conference, 15-17 September 1997, Cambridge, UK.
Abstract
This paper describes a statistical model of how the occupants of housing units impact on the maintenance expenditure of housing stock in a local authority environment. The study examines the procedures for the reporting of defects by both the tenants and the surveyors in the management of the sampled stock. The study is based upon a combination of questionnaire survey and maintenance records database of the chosen local authority. The study finds, inter alia, that the presence of disability in a dwelling is the most influential tenant's attribute affecting maintenance expenditure.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
