The built environment does not exist in a vacuum. It is constructed
in a social sense and therefore regarded as a cultural source and
area of communication that can be decoded. Architecture and design
affects the environment experience and influences human
interactions and social activities. The aim of this study was to
explore the relations between the built environment and human
behaviour with focus on social institutional settings. The role of
the built environment was assessed and its effect on environment
experience and social processes. This was achieved by investigating
different school buildings to illustrate a range of designs and its
effects in relation to their social value and pedagogical benefit
for children. It was found that the physical and social
environments and the characteristics of people are closely
interlinked. Environmental competence and awareness of aspects of
environmental psychology within caring, socialising and therapeutic
settings can therefore be seen as a component of good practice.
This study is intended for everyone interested in, studying or
working in the field of social work and social care and offers a
foundation for further reading.
