The joint Tampere University of Technology-Georgia State University two-year research project on applying behavioral models to apartment buyers is well underway. Dr. Karen Gibler traveled to Finland in September 2011 to take part in the advisory board’s organizational meeting and assist with data gathering. As a follow-up, GSU hosted five Finnish businessmen and government officials on a study tour of seniors housing developments in the Atlanta area in October.
More than 1,100 Finns have responded to a survey gathering data on changing preferences within the aging population. TUT Post doctorate researcher Dr. Tanja Tyvimaa will spend the first two weeks of April at GSU working on data analysis and writing papers with Dr. Gibler with the next research team meeting along with development site visits planned for Tampere in June.
The primary objective of the study is to clarify variables that influence Finns’ choice of apartments. The study examines the fundamental reasons for mobility, housing expectations, and influences on housing decision-making. A special emphasis is an attempt to understand why residents age 50 and older do not choose age-restricted apartments. The secondary objective of the research is to study housing marketing and determine if there are differences between older and younger customers’ expectations that would affect the attractiveness of housing offerings to each segment.
