Abstract

Public housing provides low-income households with affordable housing. The few studies of young public housing residents have focused on the negative aspects of these residential environments, such as the presence of economic hardship or substance abuse. Few studies have looked at the possible positive influence of public housing on the lives of the young people who live there. This qualitative study explores the influence of housing and neighborhood on the well-being and personal projects of young people living in public housing. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 young people aged 14 to 20 living in public housing in a large city in Quebec, Canada. A thematic analysis led to the identification of five themes that describe the components of the residential environment that influence young people's well-being and personal projects: 1) parks, playgrounds and nature, 2) services and activities, 3) privacy, 4) relations with the neighborhood; and 5) the quality of the built environment. Implications for environmental psychologists and for improving public policies and supporting the well-being of young people living in public housing are discussed.

居住环境对幸福和个人项目的影响:居住在公共住房中的年轻人的观点
公共住房为低收入家庭提供了经济适用房。关于公共住房青年居民的研究很少,主要集中在这些居住环境的消极方面,如经济困难或药物滥用。很少有研究关注公共住房对居住在那里的年轻人的生活可能产生的积极影响。本定性研究探讨了住房和邻里关系对居住在公共住房中的年轻人的福祉和个人项目的影响。研究人员对居住在加拿大魁北克省一个大城市公共住房中的 30 名 14 至 20 岁的年轻人进行了半结构式访谈。通过主题分析,确定了五个主题,描述了影响青少年福祉和个人计划的居住环境组成部分:1) 公园、操场和大自然;2) 服务和活动;3) 隐私;4) 与邻里的关系;5) 建筑环境的质量。本研究还讨论了对环境心理学家以及改善公共政策和支持居住在公共住房中的年轻人的福祉的影响。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Environmental Psychology is the premier journal in the field, serving individuals in a wide range of disciplines who have an interest in the scientific study of the transactions and interrelationships between people and their surroundings (including built, social, natural and virtual environments, the use and abuse of nature and natural resources, and sustainability-related behavior). The journal publishes internationally contributed empirical studies and reviews of research on these topics that advance new insights. As an important forum for the field, the journal publishes some of the most influential papers in the discipline that reflect the scientific development of environmental psychology. Contributions on theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of all human-environment interactions are welcome, along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that have a psychological emphasis. Research areas include: •Psychological and behavioral aspects of people and nature •Cognitive mapping, spatial cognition and wayfinding •Ecological consequences of human actions •Theories of place, place attachment, and place identity •Environmental risks and hazards: perception, behavior, and management •Perception and evaluation of buildings and natural landscapes •Effects of physical and natural settings on human cognition and health •Theories of proenvironmental behavior, norms, attitudes, and personality •Psychology of sustainability and climate change •Psychological aspects of resource management and crises •Social use of space: crowding, privacy, territoriality, personal space •Design of, and experiences related to, the physical aspects of workplaces, schools, residences, public buildings and public space
