Nikola Vukovic and Raphael Dietrich have developed options for easing the housing market in Eastern Switzerland in their final thesis for the Master’s degree programme in Real Estate Management<\/span> at OST – Ostschweizer Fachhochschule<\/a>. “The Swiss population lives too generously,” Vukovic and Dietrich are quoted as saying in a corresponding OST press release<\/a>. However, according to the findings of the two researchers, many residents of Eastern Switzerland would be prepared to reduce their living space.<\/p>\n

Specifically, 43 per cent of 379 participants in a survey as part of the master’s thesis stated that they could do without living space. A guest room or a hobby room were particularly frequently rated as unnecessary. However, alternatives are needed, “such as a central guest room that would be easy to rent in the flat block,” explains Vukovic.<\/p>\n

The Master’s students have also identified a high level of willingness among the population to move into a smaller flat. However, the problem here is that there are not enough small flats available, according to the press release. The price can also be an obstacle: “Nobody would give up a four-room flat for 1,000 francs for a smaller flat that costs the same or more,” says Vukovic.<\/p>\n

Urban centres could be eased by moving to more rural regions. In the survey, around 95 per cent of respondents indicated a willingness to do so. “However, the respondents would not move without conditions,” explains Dietrich. “Incentives would have to be created to encourage people to move away from urban centres.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
