Occupancy Duration and the Analysis of Residential Change

Abstract: This paper presents a technique for analysing the processes of population change which occur within an existing stock of housing. The first signs of residential change appear in changing occupancy duration, with turnover rates increasing or decreasing as the new pattern becomes established. But every area, however stable, has some degree of population change; the problem therefore, is to distinguish the genuine signs of change.From cumulative duration data, five distinct types of 'sales curves' are derived—the hypothetical limiting cases of occupancy duration-reflecting different probabilities of occupants' leaving or remaining after given lengths of stay. By comparing actual with 'predicted' household changes, the essential supports of a stable residential pattern, or the significant changes, can be isolated.

Guantanamo: No Rights of Occupancy

Abstract: Schtraks swings back to the latter side; that KolczynsM faces up to the situation, common in modern times, of the "passive" political fugitive who wishes only to dissociate himself from a distasteful regime, whereas in Castioni and Schtraks the political fugitive is seen as an "activist," a participant in an overt mass attack upon a distasteful regime. But the "circumstances" of the case, to which Cassels, J., referred in KolczynsM, may be interpreted to require consideration not only of the political frame of reference of the offense charged but also the magnitude of the offense. For purposes of extradition, a kidnaping (Schtraks) or a mutiny on the high seas (KolczynsM) may be regarded as an offense of a different magnitude from a murder for which no motive was adduced on behalf of the accused at the hearings on the extradition request.
