“…As stated by Rapoport (2000), such expressions in recent buildings are more complicated in comparison to traditional types. Thus, nowadays different people are more concerned and sensitive about personalizing their homes.…”

“…This issue would be more highlighted while rebuilding houses following the destruction caused by disasters. For instance, housing is considered as the cultural resuming means of local communities while transmission periods (Rapoport, 2000). However, "cultural issues relating to the provision of housing, reflecting family size and structure, hierarchies, religious beliefs and values, customs and traditions that are essential to specific cultures are frequently overlooked in temporary, as well as permanent, post-disaster re-housing" Oliver (2006).…”

Problem statement: The incidence of natural disasters as well as followed human beings' efforts for reestablishing life is considered as unavoidable essence of nature. Whilst, the interdisciplinary theme of post disaster recovery and reconstruction has been researched worldwide in order to examine its different aspects. And within architectural interests, evaluating the housing reconstruction programs would lead to beneficial clues through which useful lessons may be learnt in terms of reconstruction management while facing such unexpected challenges. Approach: This study aimed to present the visual results of the field work survey based on the mixed method research regarding post-Bam 2003 earthquake housing reconstruction efforts. In fact, the whole study was designed to find out the relation between the attitude of survived households toward their new built homes and the degree of their participation in housing reconstruction process. The focus was on analyzing the selected captured photographs provided to support the findings as documentation of research observations. Results: Accordingly, photographs were organized in to certain categories used as a mode of interpretation within the structure of visual research method analysis. The results indicated that despite different meanings of home to households, their active participation in new housing would accelerate the recovery process from sense of loss caused by catastrophes. Besides, hereby the visual and abstract tools and objectives used by households in order to express their feelings and attitude toward new built homes was addressed within defined method. Conclusion: The results indicated that despite various limitations causing change in local housing pattern following Bam earthquake, residents have attempt to express their cultural identity in some degrees as linkage to lost settings.

“…Rapoport s'est particulièrement attaché à fournir des théories explicatives des modèles, des liens et des formes de l'interaction entre l'environnement urbain et les comportements des individus. Il s'est ainsi placé au centre d'un courant baptisé « environment-behaviour-relations », dont un axe de recherche traite des aspects de l'environnement pouvant potentiellement affecter un groupe social ainsi que les circonstances et les mécanismes de ces interactions (Rapoport, 1982(Rapoport, , 2000Rapoport et Hawkes, 1970).…”

La collection « Espaces, mobilités et sociétés » investigue les dimensions spatiales des sociétés humaines. Elle s'intéresse notamment au développement et à la reconfiguration de différents espaces (villes, régions, réseaux, etc.) sous l'angle des diverses formes de mobilité (migration, mobilité résidentielle, etc.). Si la géographie humaine occupe une place de choix, la collection est également ouverte à d'autres disciplines telles que l'urbanisme, la sociologie ou l'économie territoriale.La collection « Espaces, mobilités et sociétés », publiée aux Éditions AlphilPresses universitaires suisses, est dirigée par Patrick Rérat.

“…43 And when persons of one cultural background are required to use the settings of another culture, unexpected stress can arise due to conflicts between values and understandings of how settings should operate, which in turn may lead to a reluctance to use such settings. 44 On the other hand, optimal quality settings display a congruence between architectural design, setting control, behavioural patterns, and underlying generative values.…”

Colonial ethnographers commenced compiling records on Australian indigenous shelters and camps from the 1870s and this work was extended into more complex settlement models by a small number of anthropologists and archaeologists in the mid-twentieth century. Building on this earlier work, a distinctive architectural anthropology has been developed and practised by researchers at the Aboriginal Environments Research Centre (AERC) based at the School of Architecture, University of Queensland, since the 1970s. The broad focus is on the nature of peopleenvironment relationships of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, but the resulting theories and methods may contribute to ongoing developments in the field internationally. This paper (with the aid of a case study) demonstrates how various research tools in the AERC theoretical frame have been incorporated into design processes, including the constructs of the "intercultural", "recognition space", "personhood", and "cultural landscape". in Australia were established much earlier through the pioneering observations and records of late-nineteenth-century ethnographers. R. Brough Smyth (1878) and Thomas Worsnop (1897) generated early interest in the comparative studies of settlement patterns by collating written descriptions of shelters, houses, and camps from the journals of early marine and terrestrial explorers of the continent.1 Walter Roth (1897) attempted to understand the continental diffusion of shelter styles and technologies based on his empirical research in north-west Queensland and Cape York exploring architectural properties, materials, and uses.2 Short descriptions of Aboriginal camps, shelters, houses, and domiciliary spaces were provided by late-nineteenth and early-and mid-twentieth-century ethnographers and anthropologists, 3 but few considered these subjects of primary interest to anthropology, with the mainstream preoccupied with kinship, social and local organisation, economy, religion, and ceremonial life. 4 An exception in the 1930s and 1940s was anthropologist Donald Thomson who executed significant research in Cape York and Arnhem Land, finding that different architectural types were contextualised within complex models of indigenous knowledge. These models combined environmental ethnosciences, material culture, seasonal economies, lifestyle patterns, and religious practices and obligations. In his work with the Yolngu of north-east Arnhem Land, Thomson documented Aboriginal people's domiciliary and ceremonial architectures through photography, drawings, and film. 5 He developed a methodological approach to understanding the diverse forms of Aboriginal architectures in the region, providing a systematic understanding of their uses, meanings, and properties, and was the first researcher to document Aboriginal dwelling knowledge from an indigenous (emic) perspective. 6 Thomson's published typology of seasonal shelters for the Wik Mungkan in western Cape York (1939) was highly influential, 7 and subsequent architectural anthro...
