International Sociological Association
(ISA)
This conference is being held under
the auspices of the International Sociological Association.
http://www.ucm.es/info/isa/
The ISA is an international non-profit
social science association established in 1949 under the
auspices of UNESCO to represent social scientists everywhere,
regardless of their school of thought, scientific approaches
or ideological opinion, and to advance sociological knowledge
throughout the world. Its members come from 109 countries.
The ISA is a member of the International
Social Science Council and enjoys a status of the Non-Governmental
Organization in formal associate relations with UNESCO and
special consultative status with the Economic and Social
Council of the United Nations.
The on-going scientific activities of
the ISA are decentralised in Research Committees, Working
Groups and Thematic Groups, each dealing with a well recognized
specialty. These groups bring together scholars who wish
to pursue comparative research on a transnational basis
and they constitute basic networks of scientific research,
intellectual debate and professional exchange.

The research committee on Housing and
the Built Environment is an international association founded
in 1978 to provide a forum for promoting research and communication
among housing researchers.
The Research Committee had its origins
in sessions held at the Uppsala Congress in 1974 and has
organized sessions on housing-related topics at each subsequent
World Congress of Sociology. In addition, it conducts biennial
international conferences and also has sponsored a number
of smaller regional meetings. Past venues include Amsterdam,
Paris, Hamburg, Prague, Montreal, Beijing, Nairobi, Budapest,
and Alexandria(USA).
Members come from an array of disciplines
including sociology, geography, political science, economics,
planning and public policy. Membership is global, covering
every continent and more than 30 countries. Contacts between
group members have led to mutual visits, guest lectures,
and collaboration in research and practice.
The committee on Housing and the Built
Environment became a formal Research Committee of the ISA
in 1990.
The objectives of RC43 are:
To create an
international community among scholars in the field of housing
and the built environment
To promote the
development of social science theory and research on housing
and the built environment;
To contribute to
informed decisions regarding intervention in and invention
of housing and the built environments supportive of human
needs.
