Environment and Culture
Mutual Interaction of People and Their Built Environment
Archaeology and Environment-Behavior Studies
This chapter clarifies my position vis-à-vis both the "New Archaeology" and current approaches. It briefly describes environment-behavior studies (EBS) and discusses the mutual relevance of the two fields, emphasizing the role EBS can play in archaeological inference. Examples, mainly from the post-1990s archaeological literature, are used to support the argument
Cultura, arquitectura y diseño
¿Qué debe hacer el diseño para solucionar su(s) problema(s)? Es necesario saberlo para poder juzgar si los problemas están realmente solucionados o, lo que es lo mismo, para efectuar una evaluación posterior a la ocupación del entorno (...). Esto es esencial, ya que todo diseño puede considerarse una hipótesis de la forma: "Si se hace esto y lo otro, ocurrirá esto y aquello". Pero luego hace falta demostrarlo. Sólo así uno será capaz de encadenar…
Theory, Culture and Housing
In this article the study of housing (and other built environments) is located within the context of an explanatory theory of environment-behavior relations. The need for operational definitions and ?dismantling? as general approaches is emphasized. After defining housing, it is suggested that it is impossible to relate ?culture? (or ?society?) to housing (or any built environment), because these concepts are too broad, general and abstract. More…
Using “Culture” in Housing Design
Amos Rapoport has been the keynote speaker at the two annual conferences of the American Association of Housing Educators that were held outside the United States-first in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada in 1992 and then in Seoul, Korea in 1998. Dr. Rapoport was invited to prepare his talk from the 1998 conference into a paper that could be published in Housing and Society. The article presents a framework for examining culture in housing environments.…

Environmental quality, metropolitan areas and traditional settlements
Development, culture change and supportive design
Environmental Preference, Habitat Selection and Urban Housing
This paper addresses the suitability of various forms of housing for particular groups and the possibility of applying experiences derived from other cultures. The dangers of overgeneralization, and hence the need to be culture‐specific, are stressed. At the same time a general approach is proposed which enables lessons to be derived from other cultures that clarify the suitability and acceptability of various environments and suggest ways in whi…
