The present volume in the series focuses on homes, residences, and
dwellings. Although many fields have had a long-standing interest
in different aspects of home environments, the topic has recently
come to the forefront in the interdisciplinary environment and
behavior field. Researchers and theorists from many disciplines
have begun to meet regularly, share ideas and perspectives, and
move the investigation of psychological, social, and behavioral
aspects of home environments to the central arena of environment
and behavior studies. This volume representative-though not
comprehensive attempts to provide a sampling of contemporary
perspectives on the study of home environments. As in previous
volumes, the authors are drawn from a variety of disciplines,
including environmental design fields of architecture and planning,
and from the social science fields of psychology, sociology,
anthropology, and history. This diversity of authors and
perspectives makes salient the principle that the study of homes in
relation to behav ior requires the contributions of many
disciplines. Moreover, the chap ters in this volume reflect an
array of research and theoretical view points, different scales of
home environments (e.g., objects and areas, the home as a whole,
the home as embedded in neighborhood and communities, etc.), design
and policy issues, and, necessarily, a com parative and
cross-cultural perspective. Home environments are at the core of
human life in most cultures, and it is hoped that the contributions
to this volume display the excite ment, potential, and importance
of research and theory on homes."
