ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused numerous variations in the global economies with repercussions in all sectors. Once the emergency phase has finished, the entire worldwide population has changed its lifestyle and has had to adapt to live with the pandemic. In particular, the several modifications that have occurred in the job market and in schools and universities have determined a necessary reorganization of domestic spaces. The present study represents the first phase of a wider research aimed at verifying the transformation in the Italian residential market demand resulted by the Covid-19. The analysis carried out in this work has been performed at the municipal level, by considering the data published by the National Institute of Statistics collected for the 15th General Census of the population and housing in 2011. The dataset collected has been processed through an advanced econometric technique in order to identify the functional relationships between the residential average unit market value and the main architectural, socio-demographic and territorial factors. Further developments of this research will concern the application of the same methodological approach proposed to data detected by the National Institute of Statistics for the 16th Census scheduled for 2021. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
The paper start describing the change of relationship between the evolution of real estate market, housing services, and economic crisis due to the covid pandemic event. Looking more in detail housing and hosting services we can discover the evolution of concept of home-service as the reference point for a different number of activity. In the same time the housing services, considered as a facility for external city users changed their characters and relevance. The transition of urban costumes from the pre-pandemic era to the post pandemic ones generated new use values as a consequence of new costumes. The use of the networks for communicating and collaborating from home instead that from offices and clerk’s workplaces changed office attitudes, but in the same time reduced the usefulness provided by housing stocks addicted to guest foreign city user. The paper describes the evolution of the interpretation of role of housing services, and the consequent change of use-values, in a city that is characterized by the presence of many guests workers, that use housing services by renting flats that have been unused in the most recent years, in the pandemic era, that compelled renters to become travellers. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
