| Background |
| |
| |
At the "Culture and Space in the Home Environment" symposium held in June 1997 in Istanbul, many critical questions and evaluations on culture and space interactions in the built environment were identified. Since the world is becoming an increasingly interrelated entity where culture appears more informationally based and less place and tradition rooted, it seems as a vital issue to evaluate these new trends and paradigms within this perspective.
A host group of researches within the IAPS have emphasized the study of the the built environment as a means of exploring the conflicts arising between inevitable development and cultural continuity; Culture change and identity; quality and quantity; global and local. Exploring these contradictions and paradigms, researchers from a variety of disciplines are aiming to contribute to the future improvement of the built environment around the world both in rural and urban environment at micro, mezzo and macrosystem resolution levels. Therefore a group of IAPS members have taken the intiative to organize a network on these vital issues. |

The aim of the Network is to identify issues and problems related to culture and space interactions in the built environment and facilitate elaborative research studies within an interdisciplinary framework. It is also intended:
- to establish a database,
- to organize meetings such as symposium, workshop...
- to circulate the information between concerned researchers,
- to encourage research studies on the topic
