Abstract / Summary
• 本文论述了环境、行为与社会研究领域的基本理论与方法, 并且试图将悉尼大学在此领域内不同研究分支进行整体的介绍。 悉尼大学环境、行为与社会研究组成员的研究课题涉及范围广泛, 运用的理论与方法各不相同——这是本组的优势——但是,小组成员的研究工作存在着内在的知性的联系。 本文首先以城市政策与设计领域的研究为背景,介绍了环境、行为与社会学科发展的历史, 然后分析了本领域的基本研究理论与方法。 在提出此理论与方法的框架的基础上, 本文转而探讨了悉尼大学环境、行为与社会研究组的研究现状, 目的不仅是为了进一步地说明此框架, 而且也为了说明本研究组不同研究课题之间内在的联系。 本文的结论之一是,悉尼大学环境、行为与社会研究组的大部分研究的理论基础是相互作用与构成理论, 以及在最近开始涉猎的的社会资本理论。本文的结论之二是: 在研究中(尽管研究方法可以不尽相同), 但是最好能结合定量分析、定性分析、经验主义方法这三方面,以便使研究得出的发现与解释具有更高的可靠性。
Background and Context
What is EBS?
environment-behaviour studies – or, as we prefer to call it –
environment, behaviour & society
environment-behaviour studies – or, as we prefer to call it –
environment, behaviour & society
environment, behaviour & society• serious attention to behavioural, social &
cultural factors in architecture & urban planning
• serious attention to the role of the physical environment in behavioural & social sciences
• objective – to contribute to improving the quality of life through design and planning
• absolutely fundament in education – from 1st year throughout – not a clip-on
• has been seen as a narrow field, eg, only environmental psychology or only behavioural factors in design
• really a much broader field – encompassing all the social and political sciences in relation to the entire designed and built environment
• includes culture, social groups, values, images, meaning, symbolism in design, planning and environmental policy, etc.
major theoretical foundations
• the nature of theory
• alternative theoretical orientations
• the scope of EBS theories
• the form of EBS theories
• different theoretical approaches? or a few integrating threads?
reciprocal interactions among
places, people, culture & time
the cyclic research & design process
major theories of environment,
behaviour & society
dominant research methods• the paradigm of empirical research• EBS is explicitly empirical • 3 phases of research:
– research design– information collection methods & – analysis
• diversity? or combinations and triangulation of research methodology?

conclusions & discussion
• now your thoughts – eg, what are your thoughts on how to integrate EBS perspectives in your work?
Here's a picture of a public toilet in Switzerland.
It’s made entirely out of one-way glass. No one can see you in there, but …
… would you use it?!?!!!!!
