Abstract

The relationship between Dubliners' preferences for a sample of residential neighbourhoods and their perception of three characteristics was examined by means of Carroll's preference-mapping hierarchy. Both unconstrained and constrained preferences are described by vector models but there are marked differences between the two. The unconstrained preferences are strongly related to perceptions of social status, but constrained preferences are far more variable and reflect the subjects' assessments of the suitability of the places for themselves. However, the preferences are only tenuously related to the subjects' own personal characteristics.
