Design Needs and Criteria for Chronically Mentally Ill Persons
Based on the continuing trend of placing chronically mentally ill persons in community settings, a preliminary listing of design needs was developed through qualitative research. Such a listing can be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of current and planned residential settings for chronically mentally ill persons. Design criteria for an “ideal” group home meeting the 12 design needs were then developed. The “ideal” group home was illustrate…
A Design Note on
One housing alternative that conforms to the dominant American housing norms and preferences is the small, single-family house. The purpose of this paper is to identify the issues that require research in order to design small homes that are functional and aesthetically pleasing. The issues of defining what is small, exterior/interior space continuity, space division, shape, furniture, lighting, and color are discussed and research suggestions ar…
A Research Note on
The purpose of this study is to describe the procedures and results of research to identify nonmetropolitan communities that contain innovative housing. A questionnaire was mailed to housing-related agencies in eight Southern states in the spring of 1985. The housing expert in each agency was instructed to indicate the extent to which the state’s nonmetropolitan communities had innovative housing as well as the types of innovations in existence. …
Perceptions of Energy-Efficient Housing Alternatives Among Southern Households
Several energy-efficient housing alternatives that could substantially reduce residential energy costs have been developed in the United States. Three such alternatives are passive solar, active solar and earth-sheltered housing. However, consumer acceptance and adoption of these housing types is slow. The examination of perceived characteristics and features of these housing types offers insight into their acceptability and provides information …

The Strength of Four Housing Norms
The four housing norms of home ownership, single family detached dwelling, private outside space, and conventionality are examined in terms of their strength in American society. An extensive review of the housing literature produces evidence from sanctions, behavior, and preferences which is employed to rank the norms. Although no definite ranking can be constructed given the data available, the evidence suggests that home ownership is the stron…

The Quality of Life in Rural America
Attempts to measure quality of life (QOL) in rural America have gone through three stages, focusing first on economic well-being, later on a broad array of so-called ob jective indicators, and finally on subjective evaluations. All remain important to gaining a comprehensive understanding of the QOL in rural America. An analysis of objective con ditions points to several areas of deprivation among rural people, especially economic well-being and …
