This research is done with an aim to compare the quality of housing in the two common appartment form on the rendering of main indexes of housing quality through two pre-designed neighbourhoods of Haft HozNeighborhood and the first phase of Ekbatan residential complex in the city of Tehran. Indexes of housing quality are extracted from the internal and external resources and are subjected to qu...

The relative potential for elevated residential indoor radon has been mapped for the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. Using published geologic maps and soil permeability information, the study area was divided into geologic and soil permeability (geoperm) units. Evaluation of the data showed a relationship between residential basement indoor radon concentrations and geopenn units. Mean indoor ra...

This paper investigates the impact of residential density on vehicle usage and fuel consumption. The empirical model accounts for both residential self-selection effects and non-random missing data problems. While most previous studies focus on a specific region, this paper analyzes national level data from the 2001 National Household Travel Survey. Comparing two households that are equal in al...

The recent publications of the combined analyses of residential radon studies in Europe and North America have shown that there is a significant risk of lung cancer at residential radon levels. In order to assess the population risk due to radon, the knowledge of the spatial distribution of indoor radon levels is essential. Here a preliminary radon map for Canada is presented, based on historic...

In this paper, we explore different conceptualizations for representing neighborhoods in residential location choice models, and describe three alternative ways for constructing operational units to represent neighborhoods. In particular, we examine the possibility of using the census units to represent the hierarchical ‘fixed neighborhood’ definition, and the circular units and network bands t...
