In addition to the still significant suburbanization process, the Prague metropolitan area is also seeing the emergence of reurbanization. While existing studies in this field are mainly concerned with the resulting spatial patterns, the present work focuses on the process of selecting a new place of residence. This topic is of significance because of the importance of reflecting residents’ requirements and ideas in urban planning. The Alfarezidence residential project was inspired by the notion of cohousing and is located in the inner city. The aim of the study was to explore reasons that led participants to choose Alfarezidence, the alternatives they considered and the role Alfarezidence’s specific characteristics played in the decision-making process. A series of deep semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the results show that no participants chose Alfarezidence because of cohousing. Instead, they perceived the common areas, small scale and spatial layout to be desirable aspects; furthermore, accessibility, architectural layout, and character were also key to the decision-making process. Proximity to the workplace was also particularly important in prioritizing Alfarezidence over alternative family housing in the suburbs.

决定住哪里：布拉格受住房启发式住宅项目的案例研究

除了仍然很重要的郊区化过程外，布拉格都会区还出现了重新城市化的现象。尽管该领域的现有研究主要关注由此产生的空间格局，但目前的工作着重于选择新居住地的过程。该主题之所以具有重要意义，是因为在城市规划中必须体现居民的要求和思想。Alfarezidence住宅项目受cohousing概念启发，位于内城区。该研究的目的是探究导致参与者选择Alfarezidence的原因，他们考虑的替代方案以及Alfarezidence的特定特征在决策过程中扮演的角色。进行了一系列深入的半结构化访谈，结果表明，没有参与者因为居所而选择Alfarezidence。相反，他们认为公共区域，小规模和空间布局是理想的方面。此外，可访问性，建筑布局和特征也是决策过程的关键。在将Alfarezidence优先于郊区的替代家庭住房方面，靠近工作场所也特别重要。
