GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SYSTEM OF HOUSING PROMOTION IN AUSTRIA - EVALUATION OF THE ADVANTAGES (+J AND DISATVANTAGES (-)

Summary/Abstract: The article tries to point out the main characteristics of the system of subsidized housing in Austria and undertakes to evaluate, if these attributes, wihich are summarized in 28 points, should rather be seen as advantages or disadvantages of the system. It should be clear, that this rating has to be jUdged very careful, because it's always conditional on the total economical and financial framework and on the political points of view. In the autor's view some of the main advantages of the Austrian system of housing promotion are the more or less constant volume of subsidies and the concetration on the subsidization of the building costs of objects, mainly in form of longterm public loans with low interest rates. This type of subsidization opens - in the long run - at least the possibility to reach a sustainable system. On the other hand the extrem segmentation of the housing markets, a lack of adaptation to changing conditions, big and unjustified differences in the level of rents, the relatively low social efficiency of subsidies and the lack of objective forms of distribution of subsidies as well as of promoted flats can be called main disadvantages.
