“…When an individual has control over a place, it becomes 'defensible space', while lack of control undermines such a sense of 'ownership' (Barnes, 2002;Cooney, 2012). Personalisation of a private room marks a sense of territory and control, and is a visual expression of the resident's identity and lifestyle (Cutchin, Owen, & Chang, 2003;Hauge & Heggen, 2007;Higgins, 1989;Rechavi, 2009;Shin, 2014). Cooney (2012) suggested that people 'who "created" their own space usually considered the facility their home ' (p. 192).…”

“…Care is provided as efficiently as possible to accommodate large numbers of people, and so nursing homes typically lack certain core qualities of home such as control, autonomy, choice, privacy and self-determination (Cooney, 2012;Custers, Westerhof, Kuin, Gerritsen, & Riksen-Walraven, 2012;Granbom et al, 2014;Kasser & Ryan, 1999;Persson & Wasterfors, 2009;Stabell, Eide, Solheim, Solberg, & Rustoen, 2004). As a result, it is difficult for many older adults to make themselves 'at home' in a nursing home (Granbom et al, 2014;Shin, 2014). Several studies have found that the core qualities of home are positively linked to the well-being of older people, including those in longterm care settings (Boyle, 2008;Cooney, 2012;Sixsmith et al, 2014).…”

Nursing homes have been criticised for not providing a home for their residents. This article aims to provide insight into (1) the features of home and institution as experienced by residents and caregivers of a secured ward in a nursing home, and (2) how interventions implemented on the ward can contribute to a more home-like environment. For this purpose, a participatory intervention study, involving both caregivers and residents, was carried out. We collected data through qualitative research methods: observations, in-depth interviews and diaries to evaluate the interventions over time. We adopted an informed grounded theory approach, and used conceptualisations of total institutions and home as a theoretical lens. We found that the studied ward had strong characteristics of a total institution, such as batch living, block treatment and limited privacy. To increase the sense of home, interventions were formulated and implemented by the caregivers to increase the residents' autonomy, control and privacy. In this process, caregivers' perceptions and attitudes towards the provision of care shifted from task-oriented to person-centred care. We conclude that it is possible to increase the home-like character of a secured ward by introducing core values of home by means of interventions involving both caregivers and residents.

“…The house has nine meanings: social relations, social networks, self-identity, privacy, continuity, personalization, activity base, childhood homes, and physical structures (Shin, 2014). Hanson (1998) defined the house as a dynamic structure that grows and changes in size and configuration according to their inhabitants’ needs.…”

Cultural beliefs and architecture have been recognized as having a strong relationship. However, a gap in knowledge exists regarding the interaction between culture and spatial organization in domestic architecture. This research used case methods to explore the impact of cultural factors in forming and designing detached houses and apartments in Jordan. Specifically, this article aimed to explore the sociocultural impact of privacy on spatial hierarchy and spatial organization in order to ascertain sociospatial designs in Jordanian culture. The data were collected through a comprehensive analysis of plans, images, direct observation, and in-depth interviews with Jordanian household residents. The data were analyzed socially and spatially with regard to circulation, privacy, security, and spatial arrangement of indoor and outdoor spaces. This research found that cultural factors and overall traditions affect detached housing design more than apartment design in Jordan. Also, cultural beliefs and traditions in Jordan are strongly reflected in people’s values, practices, activities, and the level of privacy needed in a given home. Therefore, privacy becomes a social, religious, and personal need that Jordanian domestic architecture should accommodate. Because culture shapes humans’ worldviews, and then both culture and worldview build social and personal values to define lifestyle, clearly determine specific activities, and set residents’ requirements for the design of the components of space requisite for cultural recognition. This research recommends that housing designers should adapt to the cultural practices, beliefs, and privacy needs of a given people when designing homes. Future research is needed to replicate the study for an authentic perspective on a cross-cultural basis.

“…Consequently it falls short of an integrated study that would otherwise meld the social with the physical (Low & Altman, 1992;Shin, 2013). This clearly is a challenging task for future research, much more difficult to accomplish than case studies that meld the social to a specific place with well-defined physical parameters such as a dwelling, an elderly home, a local neighbourhood, or a Chinatown.…”
